The first Council of the Church at Jerusalem affirmed the prophecy of Hosea that after "taking out of the nations a people for his name [the Church]", Jesus will return and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down.[Acts 15:14-17]

It seems that the Church keeps forgetting about this important Council and instead thinks that the first council was at Nicea.

There is a group in Israel that is getting everything ready for the start of animal sacrifice in a rebuilt temple. It may be built by the hand of man, but it will be done by the providence of God because it was prophesied by the word of God, both in the prophets like Daniel and the apostles. and the only councilit will come to pass.

Then it seems to me if it is acceptable to you that the jewish temple be rebuilt and temple sacrifices reestablished, even though there is no salvific benefit of it, then you shouldn't have a problem in what you believe to be the Mass. It seems to me then that you (dispensationalists) are holding on to temple sacrifice, not Catholics.

It may be built by the hand of man, but it will be done by the providence of God because it was prophesied by the word of God, both in the prophets like Daniel and the apostles.

When you say..."done by the providence of God..." are you saying that God is re-instituting the sacrifical system?

If so, why? As you stated in your post #454 Jesus's sacrifice is enough and it replaced the old blood sacrifical system.

Hbr 7:26,27 For such an high priest became us (This is Jesus), [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Hbr 9:25,26 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Hbr 10:11-14 ¶ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

If God re-institutes daily animal sacrifices again, doesn't that make Hebrews a lie?
