It's been 1500 years since there has been a rabbinically approved sacrifice to take place in Israel and the rabbis did approve a Gentile who trained under the leadership of selected rabbis to perform the sacrifice of two turtledoves recently in Israel. The ceremony took place in the Jordan Valley near Jericho as a number of rabbis watched to make certain all Levitical laws were kept in the offering of these two doves.
There are a number of religious Jews that have been preparing for the building of the temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem who believe that Jews need to become accustomed once again to the offering of animals for the sacrifices called for when the temple is once again standing in Jerusalem.
A rabbinically approved sacrifice being performed in Israel is tangible evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. Since the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70AD there has not been an opportunity for Jews to offer any of the required sacrifices called for under Levitical law.
Over the last 2000 years there have been several occasions in different parts of the world where rabbis would approve the offering of animals in sacrifice but nothing compared to the days when the temple was standing in Jerusalem.
Recently a Gentile, one trained by a number of rabbis, performed a sacrifice of two turtledoves in the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea, the first rabbinically approved sacrifice in 1500 years.
This is a part of a program to prepare the Jewish people for the restoration of the sacrificial system that is called for in the first 7 chapters in the book of Leviticus. Daniel 9:27 reveals that the sacrificial system will be restored when there is a temple in Jerusalem. Even the Messiah's temple described in Ezekiel 40-46 calls for sacrifices to be restored as a part of daily Jewish life.
There will be two temples in the future for the Jewish people, one in the Tribulation period and then another in the time of the Millennial Kingdom of the future. In both of these temples, sacrifices will be made. In fact for the next temple all preparations have been made and its ready to be built in Jerusalem even right now.
A sacrifice made in Israel recently is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
Why is a gentile performing the sacrifice? Why not a Rabbi?
Why would a Gentile have performed the sacrifice?
I mean no dis-respect to anyone, especially the LORD of all Creation, but I am just un-easy about animal sacrafice....
I have trouble killing a spider in my house I pick them up with a paper towel and place them outside..:(
And not in Temple.
Maybe because as a modern society, only a certain kind of person can be qualified to do a animal sacrafice...I am sure this is a hard task for any person to do...
The end maybe nigh.
Yes, but I thought it had to be a Levite (or a Cohen maybe.). I have never heard of Gentiles being included in Jewish religious ceremonies.
Sure could be..

I pick them up with a paper towel and place them outside..:(
/// certainly i admire and respect your peaceful nature.
and as a Christian, i know such sacrifices aren’t needed anymore.
however, this was certainly done as Jesus was growing up. if he and his parents weren’t offended, they i wouldn’t be either.
(not to mention, i’m not exactly a vegetarian...)
and thank you for posting this piece of living history !!!
...also,
“In fact for the next temple all preparations have been made and its ready to be built in Jerusalem even right now.”
/// as soon as the U.N. unilaterally creates another arab nation out of the JEWISH province of JUDEA, among others, then Israel will have NO reason to appease anyone any longer...
Well the temple has not been built yet...
Will see...
My understanding, that animal sacrafices will not be needed in the Millenial Kingdom like you say..The Sacrafice has been met with the blood of the Lamb..
The Temple will be for Thanskgivings to GOD....
I believe there is a specific religious reason for it. In fact I think there are a handful of traditional Jewish rites that are performed by gentiles.
Wow.

for Thanskgivings to GOD...
/// i like that! i will have to read more closely.
thanks again. (you post a lot of interesting articles...)
A waste of two doves. Any sacrifice of animals is an insult to God since His Son is THE sacrifice.
Unless the guy’’s last name is Cohen, I am not impressed.
