Tonight, I was able to sit together with good friends and watch on my laptop the lecture from Rabbi Chaim Richmond, Director of The Temple Institute. The rabbi spoke about his efforts to organize the rebuilding of the third temple in Jerusalem. From his position as the director, he is critically involved in every aspect of details concerning all progress with the new temple for all the Jews around the world. Of course the holy city is Jerusalem for the rebuilding of the temple to take place. What we learned is that many things are continually happening in preparation for this temple. The line of hereditary elements for the red heifer offspring has been found. This red heifer is of particular significance for sacrifice on the holy mountain of God. Rabbi spoke of the political conditions in Jerusalem at the present time. The Palestinian Authority (governed over by Jordan's Muslim ruling officials) continually harass their Jewish counter-parts who want to tour the Holy Mount. The Israeli police have a heavy burden to keep peace, and they usually limit tours going through the sacred area. There is no praying of any kind permitted.
So, with the lecture I have learned that The Temple Institute still needs considerable time to get reform done in the regional area between the Palestinians and Jews. Rabbi mentioned that things will drastically change for good when United Nations and even their Israeli government fully recognize their effort to change the holy mount into a Jewish holy ground area. What the rabbi warned is for impatience for this to happen. He believes that his religion is the light of the world. The orthodox Jews are a peace loving people and really want to get alone with their neighbors, just short of allowing anymore desecration of the holy mount by Muslims. When the world sees this as their true rightful goal to be at peace, then he believes the new temple will succeed.
What amazes me still is his reluctance to believe Jesus Christ as the true messiah. Rabbi Richmond talks about Jews being the light of the world by virtue of the sacred scriptures, but he fails to acknowledge that the son of God was and is the real true light of the world. Rabbi believes Jerusalem will be the ruling city over all the earth someday, when the messiah sets up his kingdom. He believes the Jew, as the chosen people of God, to once and for all rule over all peoples. He thinks the messiah will be revealed in this generation of Jews occupying Jerusalem. That is the actuality of truth which Jesus, as the perfect prophet, spoke of concerning Jerusalem being surrounded by gentile masses until the great and notable day of the Lord. So, whatever, Iran or Iraq or other Muslim nations think for the complete annihilation of Israel, will not happen.
So, in conclusion, I see many more items of critical nature to believe that things on the world stage are truly coming into existence because of the near end times prophecy fulfillment. And as I have said before, the next big prophetical event of the end times to happen is the rapture of true Christians. The rapture is for the saints. Saints will be marginalized more and more in this post-Christian era all across the globe. The radical Muslim people who are fanatical about contradictions to their rigid Sharia law will execute anyone who resists them, especially Christian missionaries. What we are now seeing in our freedom ordained American nation are elements of sinful people harshly criticizing and imprisoning Christian folks all for standing up for the truth. This will happen more and more as time goes along. The devil is out to deceive the world with many various forms of idolatry and vain lusts. And since America has freedom, it will be all the more easier for him to deceive people to think everything is relative by nature of majority opinions. Their will be disrespect for authority and rules or laws by legislatures. The ruling elite will be judges.
When the numbers of true Christians dramatically dwindle, we need to look up for our redemption draws close. The rapture will be upon us unexpectedly and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we which remain alive will be caught up in the air to be with the Lord forever. There will be cataclysmic events unfolded all across the world. There may very well be airplanes crashing down, because of a Christian pilot being taken up. Or automobile accidents happening everywhere. All this will be extra-ordinary and yet limited in a few places. It will be limited because there will only be few true Christians alive who obediently serve the Lord. Many Christian peoples will fall away from the truth and will not be aware of Jesus second coming for the rapture. The trumpet will be sounded but they will not hear the sound because the are lost in their vile sins.
The Jews remaining after the rapture will take up all initiative to restore principled order in the name of sacred religion. There will be a peace alliance between all institutions all across the world. The governments, the religious, and the social institutions will put together their world wide referendums of peace all under the authority of the false prophet (anti-Christ). For 3-1/2 years the temple in Jerusalem will be the center of religious worship, but the god to worship will be a mix of all religions and come under the authority of the false prophet. He will do miracles and heal many people to prove his Deity. So, the temple will be accomplished and the Jews will ultimately get their wish done.
