I post this article here now because I believe that if, contrary to the practice of previous years, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is allowed to transport the stones "all the way" it will be an indication of Sharon's acceptance(non-acceptance) of the Mitchell Process.
Last year, as in previous years, these "fundamentalists" were held in check. This year if they are not then I believe that profound deductions can be made.
No thank you. I don't want to be a part of some foolish action based on misintepretation of OT prophecy that has already been fulfilled.
The Third Temple is going to be built whether they like it or not. I'm just waiting to see when it is. It should be exciting -- because it's about the closest "sign" that one can get before the coming of the Messiah.
why on earth are you rooting for the end of the world?
Apparently you don't understand. It's not the "end of the world" -- it's the "end of the age". We're current in the "Age of Grace" before Christ comes again. And when this "age" closes -- which the Bible tells us will, at Christ's coming -- it will be a better world -- with Christ establishing His rule and His Kingdom (from Jerusalem and Israel) over all the nations of the world.
At that time, there will be no more war, and Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1,000 years (the length of the last "age" that the Bible tells us about [with more untold "ages to come" after that, though..., just not explained]). It's at that time, that the world will have great prosperity and peace. So, with Christ and His Kingdom -- on this earth -- there comes peace and success.
So, what is to not look forward to with that coming. The only difficult thing is that the Tribulation time of 7 years of untold disasters and judgement comes first. But as we know, it's always "darkest before the dawn."
I'm looking for the better to come, not just the interim disasters and judgments that come first. Get those out of the way and let's get on to the Millennial Reign of Christ.
There is no such thing as "bad timing" with God's Plan. He makes things work out exactly the way He has told us. The Temple is going to be rebuilt. The Antichrist will come, we will have 7 years of Tribulation (the worst the world has ever seen since it's creation), and Christ will come again and set up His Kingdom on this earth and rule over all the nations of the world.
So, no such thing as bad timing with God.
Notice that Jesus Christ compared this time that we're in -- to the time of Noah, in which the whole world was destroyed by water (except for those 8). And Noah was also warning the world for over 100 years -- about the coming disaster.
Jesus said that just like it was in the time of Noah, so it would be in this time. And it sure is. We haven't even gotten to 100 years of warnings, yet. And I don't think it will be 100 years. But, that shows you that God does give warnings for a long time -- so people will be prepared (themselves).
Also, the Bible tells us (way ahead of time, it has told us), that many will say, "Where is the promise of His coming?!". It says that there will be "scoffers". And sure enough -- that's what we see.
And God tells us that we shouldn't mistake His waiting (which is His patience) for "not doing as promised". He says He will do exactly as He says, that He will warn for a long time -- and that when things happen -- it will be "sudden destruction".
You're receiving your warnings now. Don't wait too long. He says TODAY is the day to receive the Lord. You may not have a "tomorrow". Those who died in the World Trade Towers didn't have a tomorrow.
The Musli better be careful. Any more nasty surprises in America or Israel and they might find some of their very important shrines and buildings demolished. The Dome/ Mecca/ Medina what have you.
