Hmmmm.

More likely the best claimant is a Methodist living in Cincinnati.

Time for the DNA tests.

Time to start packing :-}

If this guy is king, will he remove the cube from the Temple mount?

Unfortunately, he would probably also raze the churches in Jerusalem.

Rabbi Yosef Dayan from Psagot, known for his recent threats to place a death curse on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, is said to be a leading candidate to become the "king of Israel."

Jesus Christ warned these folks about following the Commandments - specifically the 6th in Matthew 5:

21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

One of the ideas, members said, is to climb the Mount and build the altar within minutes and sacrifice the lamb before security forces can stop them.

Yes, that's the ticket. Evolved, rational thinking at it's finest.

Although somewhat amusing, it's at times hard to watch the tortured machinations and confused behavior of those who reject their Savior. Whether it be religious Jews, secularists, anti-moralists or whoever.

"One of the ideas, members said, is to climb the Mount and build the altar within minutes and sacrifice the lamb before security forces can stop them. Another, said leading Sanhedrin member Baruch Ben-Yosef, is to pray for a tsunami-like disaster on the Mount. "


So the ideas are animal sacrifice and praying for the volcano gods?

What a bunch of ignorant people.

"has conducted extensive research into the lineage of several families in an effort to discover who has the closest bloodline to the biblical King David – a requirement for any future Jewish king."

When they were looking for a husband for Mary, they had the same requirements. God solved it for them when He told the Rabbi to have the young males leave their staff on the altar. Joseph was chosen the next day when his staff bloomed into flowers. JMJ

They need to call Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code). He knows who the messianic descendant of David is--one of the "Merovingians." [sarcasm]

Sorry, last night I watched the most ridiculous show on the Da Vinci Code on the History Channel. An hour and 45 minutes of one unsupported assertion after another (which frankly could have been boiled down and stated in 15 minutes), and then the last 10 minutes which basically said the whole thing was bogus.

because it will force people to understand that God gave us the power to control the calendar and our own destiny," Ben-Yosef said.

Hmmm...

More of the "me me me" syndrome?

So much for leaving things for God's Will.
