THE PLACEMENT OF THE FUTURE TEMPLE ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT
 The small cupola marked "A" marks the location of the Holy of Holies. The Third Temple could be built over this and leave room for the Dome of the Rock. This would be a compromise. Indeed compromise will mark the character of the final seven years of this age before the return of Messiah. |
As we consider the rebuilding of the Temple
there is one more important question that must be addressed.
Just where on the Temple Mount will the future Jewish Temple be built?
Will the foundations be laid right in the middle
of the Temple Mount as many suppose?
This would necessitate the removal or destruction of
the Dome of the Rock.
Of course this would be an earthshaking turn of events.
The Dome is a revered Islamic site.
Will the Dome of the Rock be destroyed?
And is its removal even necessary?
Just where did the original temple stand?
Was it really in the center as we see in the paintings?
Or was it situated to the north of the present location
of the Dome of the Rock?
Some Jewish authorities on the subject, notably Asher Kaufmann
are saying precisely this.
This is very interesting.
It opens up the very real possibility that the
Third Jewish Temple
will be constructed on the north side of the Mount.
The small cupola marked "A" is called "the dome of the Spirits".
It is said to mark the point of the holy of holies in the former temple.
Could the Temple
be rebuilt next to the Islamic Dome of the Rock?
Could Israel’s future Temple and its worshipers
peacefully coexist with the Islamic Dome and their worshipers?
This would be very politically favorable to world peace.
If such a plan was acted upon then
the Temple Mount would look something
like what we see in the picture up above.
As we have previously stated,
it seems that the Jewish Temple can only be rebuilt under the covering
of an all encompassing world peace.
This peace will most certainly involve Israel and her Islamic neighbors.
Such a peace is something that we have not seen yet.
Quite obviously it is out there in the future.
Because all attempts by the Jewish
‘Temple Mount Faithful’
to place
a foundation stone for the temple on the temple mount
have incited Islamic rioting. When Ariel Sharon presumptuously decided to
take a stroll on the Temple Mount some years ago the result was bloody mayhem.
There was a huge hue and cry throughout the Islamic world.
In fact it started off a historic wave of terrorism
that came to be known as "the Intifada".
A DIVIDED TEMPLE MOUNT?
BOTH A JEWISH TEMPLE AND AN ISLAMIC DOME SIDE BY SIDE?
Let us look further at the details concerning
the placement of that future temple
on the Temple Mount.
We have evidence that the
former Jewish temple was built north
of the site where the Dome of the Rock presently site.
The Dome of the Spirits, a small cupola, is said to be the location
of the Holy of Holies. This is well to the north and in direct
alignment with the Eastern Gate.
This fact along with some mounting archaeological evidence
would seem to indicate that the former (second) Temple
was situated not in the center of the temple mount
at all but rather on the north side of temple mount.
This is directly opposite the Eastern Gate.
This layout has been set forth by noted scholar Asher Kauffman.
This alignment of the future Jewish Temple with the Eastern Gate
would only be appropriate.
The architectural layout
of the temple would surely have been to allow the Messiah to come
through the eastern gate and go straight ahead into the Holy City.
He would not be doing any turning
left and then right or any "jigs".
He would enter the city and go straight ahead and up
into the Temple.
Here is another issue. If the temple was in the center of the Temple Mount
then Messiah coming through the Eastern Gate would have to turn left upon entering the city.
Turning left in Biblical symbology is turning to evil.
It would certainly not be good form for a returning Messiah to do any such thing.
Such a zig zag route is, in fact, unthinkable.
Surely Zerubbabel, (and Solomon before him), were
mindful of this when the temple was designed.
It was a magnificent Temple laid out for a coming Messiah who was King of Kings.
And we can be sure that the whole temple mount area was meticulously and tastefully laid out.
YHVH God Himself was the true divine Architect here.
He guided King David as the king set forth the plans and the materials.
David had a heart for this but because of bloodshed was not permitted to build it himself.
But he made preparations for his son Solomon to build the temple.
We can well assume that the former two temples
were faithfully constructed by the builders according
to the blueprint of a holy and divine order.
This would only be in keeping with the beauty of form our
Messiah most assuredly deserves.
As it happens, this northern
site is being looked at by
one of several Jewish groups who are
working towards the rebuilding of the Hebrew Temple.
The last temple, the second temple built by Zerubbabel
and embellished by Herod
was destroyed by the Romans under Titus in 70 A.D..
As we look now at the present situation we see that the Dome of the Rock
occupies the center of the Temple Mount.
The future third temple could therefore be
rebuilt to the north of the Dome. It would be on the same site as
the former temple. There would be room to
provide an acceptable easement between the two buildings.
There would, in fact, be a clearance of 150 feet.
This would allow
the Dome to actually co-exist with the Third Jewish Temple
provided the Temple is rebuilt straight across from the Eastern Gate.
According to scholars such as Asher Kauffman
his is in fact the archaeologically correct position.
To the current international
political players this peaceful coexistence of and Islamic Dome and a Jewish Temple would be quite acceptable as well.
It would not be the architecture of the ultimate Messianic dominion in holiness expected by the
Jewish and Christian people of the Book.
But the powers who rule in this present world would probably favor it.
Such an arrangement would be "politically correct".
The good news in all this, from the perspective of an interim pre-Messianic or non-Messianic world peace,
is that to build a third temple there would be no necessity to destroy the
Islamic shrine, the Dome of the Rock. It could be constructed right next door to the Dome of the Rock.
THE TEMPLE MOUNT SHOWCASED THE
BLOOD COVENANT BETWEEN YHVH-GOD AND MAN.
THE OFFERING OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM FOR SACRIFICE WAS THE KEY.
YHVH-GOD WOULD ALSO ACT TO
PROVIDE HIMSELF, A LAMB.
THAT SACRIFICE LAMB WOULD ALSO COME FROM THE LOINS OF ABRAHAM.
THE BLOOD OF ATONEMENT WAS THE ULTIMATE AND THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE FOR SIN.
OUT OF THIS BLOOD COVENANT LOVINGKINDNESS COMES PEACE WITH GOD,
AND PEACE ON EARTH AMONG MEN OF GOOD WILL.
The temple mount is one of the most holy and important places on the planet.
The Holy Place marks the place where Abraham sealed the covenant with YHVH-God.
As such it is a key place to celebrate true and genuine world peace.
This is why the powers of darkness have contested this place above all other places on earth.

If we think about it for a moment the Holy Place in the
Temple of YHVH is not just built on Abraham’s
willingness to sacrifice his son. This act of faith by Abraham, YHVH-God’s covenant partner, was essential.
Abraham’s willingness to act in faith believing that God would resurrect his son from the dead was indeed important.
This was man’s or Abraham’s part of the Eternal Covenant.
But Abraham’s willingness to surrender up his beloved son Isaac was a mirror, a demonstration
of what God was going to do on His side of the covenant.
God’s part of the Covenant was demonstrated on the temple mount as well.
Abraham said that "God would provide Himself a lamb".
When Abraham looked up and saw a lamb caught by the thorns around his head.
This was a picture of things to come.
YHVH-God would provide a Lamb, spotless and without blemish.
He too would end up being presented for sacrifice with thorns around His head.
The prophet Isaiah spoke about the Suffering Servant in great detail in
Isaiah 53.
The atoning blood of Israel’s promised Sacrifice Lamb would provide a covering for the sins of men.
All of Abraham’s children of faith, all who would call out to God in faith believing would be saved.
The Seed of Abraham was a key to all this. And that Seed of Abraham, even our Messiah, was to be offered up as
Israel’s promised
Sacrifice Lamb.
That Seed would then go on to be sown into the souls of multitudes in Israel
and even greater multitudes out in the nations.
This was Israel’s promised Light to the Gentiles spoken of by the prophet Isaiah in
Isaiah 49:6)
In the manner of covenants Abraham’s part in offering up his son Isaac was vital.
In this act of obedience Abraham showed a willingness to enter into a
blood covenant with God.
It was essential for Abraham, as God’s blood covenant partner,
to be willing to sacrifice his son.
Because in the Redemption plan of the ages YHVH-God was going to offer up His Son too.
So here, acted out on the Temple Mount was the basis for true and lasting peace.
And it was showcased 4,000 years ago.
YHVH/God was Abraham’s covenant partner.
And He was taking the initiative in the covenant.
He stated that "He would provide Himself a Lamb".
YHVH God would offer up His only son from out of His own divine Spirit and essence.
His shed blood would provide the final atoning
Sacrifice. The Lamb of God would take away the sins of the world.
The suffering Church understands these things.
But these issues of blood covenant are not well understood by modern and post-modern
Christians in the west today.
They live in a material world of merchants and lawyers.
The covenants they deal in are merely low grade
contracts, deals that are made and broken whenever one party finds it convenient to do so.
Western Evangelicals, for the most part, do not understand the true blood covenant nature of their faith.
Nor do they appreciate the necessity of the
end-time blood covenant witness.
They do not understand
blood covenant Christianity
as it relates to the New Covenant.
A blood covenant relationship in the lovingkindness of YHVH-God , and not the legal intricacies of contract law, is the main issue here.
The Law and righteousness of YHVH-God in the Torah and Tanakh have always been a matter of the heart, just as Jeremiah stated
here in Jeremiah 31:31-33.
Sinai was not merely a governmental judicial proceeding or just an assembly for a formality of state.
The children of Israel at Sinai were gathered as individuals in a Congregation, even a a "camp meeting" before YHVH-God.
Unfortunately, due to idolatry and rebellion, it did not end up that way.
The Law was given, and the nation of Israel established.
But the children of Israel were slow to respond to God in their hearts.
So they were delayed in their entry into the Promised Land.
The New Covenant is and expansion of the Old Covenant.
The same law and Torah is there.
But it has now been taken up to the next level.
The New covenant is a personal matter of the heart.
God’s covenant people only really succeed in obeying God when they invite him into their lives and come to love Him.
This relationship with YHVH-God in Agape love is the true essence of the blood covenant relationship that Abraham knew,
experienced, and walked in.
This personal walk with God is the basis for the relationship Christian and Messianic believers presently have with
the Seed of Abraham, the promised Son of David, Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach who is Emmanuel, "God with us".
He is the Living Word, the indwelling Torah.
We download Him into our hearts and lives and come to be "born again" into new creatures.
And as YHVH-God’s Law is written on the tables of our heart He energizes us to bring forth the works of righteousness
in our lives. This is something we ourselves could never do. When He is invited in
our Messiah as King sits upon the throne of our heart and as High Priest ministers at the altar of our hearts.
Both offices of Melchizedek are there inside us with the indwelling Messiah.
This is how He performs those hidden miracles in human hearts.
He Himself is the engine of change and sanctification in our lives.
When we repent of our sin and selfism and invite Him in He begins to change us from the inside out.
The binding of Isaac by our patriarch Abraham
and his willingness to sacrifice His only true son
was a crucial part of the Eternal Covenant.
It was a reflection of Abraham’s faith and his blood covenant commitment
in the lovingkindness of YHVH-God. This willingness to sacrifice shown by Abraham,
would be demonstrated in the character and witness of the myriad company of Abraham that would follow him.
This act of total commitment and "unto death do us part" is the basis of the Eternal Covenant in the Gospel.
It goes far beyond humanistic deals, contracts, compromises and the idolatry and rebellion of pagan witchcraft
and the antinomian religion we see so much of nowadays.
The Abrahamic covenant is in the true Gospel. It takes us far beyond the cheap religion that
compromises in the way of Balaam and makes deals with the powers of this world.
The Abrahamic Covenant, first seen on the Temple Mount, was the basis of the
greater things that YHVH-God was going to do for Israel and for all
mankind in future times.
We serve a God who is not slack concerning His promises.
By faith Abraham said that "God would provide Himself a Lamb" for sacrifice.
Abraham heard the voice from heaven which stayed his hand.
Then he turned to see the sacrifice
lamb that God had provided.
He saw the ram
caught by his horns. The thorns were wrapped around the head of the lamb.
The Seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was preserved.
And the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, even a melo-hagoyim, a multitude of nations would be saved.
Abraham then unbound and released his son.
The faith of Abraham in total surrender to the will of God is the essential blood covenant reality here.
Total surrender to YHVH-God is still the basis for salvation in all of Abraham’s family today.
So right there, on the Temple Mount,
in the divine typology, was a picture of a promised future
Sacrifice Lamb.
Here was the "Meshiach ben Joseph"
or the ‘Suffering Servant’ Isaiah spoke about. (See
Isaiah 53)
If the future Jewish Temple is to be rebuilt it will showcase Israel’s Sacrifice Lamb.
This is the first thing
that confronts the visitor to the Temple,
or the Tabernacle that preceded it.
They see the brazen altar.
And they see the lamb of sacrifice upon that altar.
This is a powerful demonstration of the seriousness of God’s Law
and the penalty, paid in blood, for transgressing that Law.
Israel’s promised Son will be lifted up in the hearts of men in times to come.
He will return to His Temple and will be seen by all mankind.
The Holy One of Israel will be a ‘Light to the Gentiles’. (Isa.42:6, 49:6, & 60:3)
Surely the Anointed One, the Messiah, is that Sacrifice Lamb.
In His earlier priestly role we saw Messiah fulfill all three of the
earlier spring feasts of the
Seven Feasts of Israel. It was on
Passover that we saw Him sacrificed as
the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
He was also the Suffering Servant Isaiah spoke about. (See
Isaiah 53)
He is our true High Priest who
brings the blood of a better sacrifice. (Heb.9:23-26)
He is the Stone that the builders rejected. (Mat.21:42)
And yet He remains the true Cornerstone.
He alone can bring the Peace of Jerusalem.
Because He, as Israel’s Messiah, is the Prince of Peace.
Indeed His coming is the only sure foundation for the
restoration of Israel’s Temple.
We know that Messiah will return and come to His Temple.
Because the Holy One of Israel declares,
"….I will shake all nations,
and the Desire of all nations shall come,
And I will fill this house with glory." (Hag.2:7)
MIDDLE EAST PEACE.
BY WHOM?
AND FOR HOW LONG?
There must be a future peace in the Middle east.
But how/ And by whom? And for how long?
The Holy Scriptures have the answers to these questions.
A future peace treaty will come in by a peace treaty.
And this will be brokered by
the prophesied global peacemaker of
If such a man does arise on the world stage
he will have to be a man of some stature and capability.
He will need to be a convincing mega dealer and
and a shrewd crisis manager.
Will such a peacemaker arise in that future day?
And just who will be the one who rises up on the world stage.
Who will be the one to pick up the pieces and divide the spoils after
that future war?
The jigsaw puzzle of Bible prophecy is coming together for us piece by piece.
The prophetic Word of God is being unsealed, just as Daniel prophesied.
Yes, early on a "prince" will appear on the stage of history. (Dan.7-12)
At the beginning he will take the spotlight in his
‘peacemaker’ or "Mr. Niceguy" role.
(This global power broker will not remain as a peacemaker).
But early on he will secure for himself enormous international power.
He may step onto the world stage in a time of crisis and assume enormous powers as a global crisis manager.
Perhaps sovereign power will be given him to disarm the world
of weapons of mass destruction. What a hit that would be!
But the dreams of secular humanism and
Dominionist religious humanism are vanity.
Yes, Lucifer must have his god-man as YHVH-God has his Emmanuel, God in the flesh.
But history shows us that human beings cannot be trusted with power.
Lord Acton said,
"Power corrupts,
And absolute power corrupts absolutely."
And the scriptures are clear on the future acts of this "prince".
He will go on later to break the covenant he has just made. (Daniel 9:27)
Midway through the
seven years Daniel tells us that
he will be revealed as someone less than benevolent. (See
(Dan.9:27 part B)
He will turn out to be none
other than the coming false messiah, the
Beast Antichrist of 666.
Moses gave a warning
concerning this great latter day trial and tribulation
for the covenant people of God.
And Jesus/Yeshua Himself warned that His people would reject Him who
came in His Father’s Name and go on to accept another "prince"
who came "in his own name". See
this article
and click on the scripture here which is
John 5:43.
BUILDING THE THIRD TEMPLE WILL REQUIRE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
AND THAT PEACE, ALBEIT A TEMPORARY ONE, WILL PROBABLY FOLLOW A SIGNIFICANT FUTURE WAR.
THE 7 YEAR PEACE COVENANT OF DAN. 9:27 WILL BE CONFIRMED FOLLOWING THAT WAR.
THE SEVEN YEAR COVENANT WILL BE BE BROKEN HALF WAY THROUGH THOSE SEVEN YEARS.
BUT THOSE FIRST
3.5 YEARS OF PEACE WILL ALLOW THE REBUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.
Just how will this Middle East peace
be achieved? What will have happened to suddenly
change the political equation and thus
open the way to allow the Rebuilding of the Jewish Temple?
For the status quo on the Temple Mount to change there will have to be an upheaval.
The powers that currently control the Temple Mount will have to be swept aside.
After this future war things will change.
Islam will be sufficiently subdued to allow a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount.
In view of Daniel’s prophecy in
Dan. 9:27we must assume that the future regime ushered in by this "prince" will
provide the building authorization for the Third Temple.
It seems clear that the peacemaker or power broker who does broker this sovereignty sharing deal
involving Israel and western Christendom will be the one
spoken of by the prophet Daniel.
He will be the long awaited ‘prince’ who brokers the
seven year peace treaty of Daniel 9:27.
He is prophesied to "confirm a covenant with many"
for a period of
seven years.
We do not know who this peace broker will be.
But we do know this. He will the consumate humanist. Because we are told that He will come
not in the Name of the God of Israel but in his
own name.
A "prince" will have come onto the world scene.
His consort in religion will actually be the one who takes the reins of power initially
before he grabs them halfway through the seven years.
We have seen religious leadership before under Popes and Cardinals and Ayatollah’s.
This will be the climax of Dominion Theology and it will be an ecumenical religious mish-mash.
John saw the
harlot politico-religious system and was absolutely astounded at what he saw.
See
Revelation 17.
A ten horned
(Dan.7) ten toed
(Dan.2) global rulership will emerge into world history.
These are awesome issues to consider.
The prophecy we are considering here is extremely important.
Daniel 9:27 is the most
significant prophecy for an overview of the latter days of this age.
This seven year treaty, Israel’s
‘covenant with death’
is the next big event to explode into history.
It will almost certainly be the event which
sees the next feast on the Hebrew calendar come up for fulfillment,
the
Feast of Trumpets.
THE REBULDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE AWAITS WORLD PEACE AND A
NEW WORLD ORDER.
THIS CHANGING OF THE GUARD WILL BE THE WAY THE
FINAL SEVEN YEARS OF THIS AGE BEGINS.
THIS "PEACE" WILL CALL FOR A SOVEREIGNTY GIVE AWAY BY ISRAEL AND THE WESTERN NATIONS.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE
WATCHMEN OF ISRAEL WILL NOT BE SILENT.
THE DAY THE 7 YEAR COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27 IS CONFIRMED THE
TRUMPETS WILL SOUND THE ALARM.
The Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, is the next feast awaiting fulfillment.
This is the first of the
Fall Feasts of Israel.
And it is due to erupt into holy history on a Jewish New year
in some future new moon in the month of Tishri in the autumn season.
It will be an epic event. And yes, the
trumpets of alarm will be sounding in Zion,
precisely as Joel prophesied they would. (Joel 2)
This extraordinary future seven year peace accord must be signed and
confirmed.
It must be ratified by many nations, including Israel, for global rule.
Some awful collusions and compromises will be made
by God’s covenant people as they go through the confirmation of this "peace process".
In this "covenant with many" (Dan.9:27) or "covenant with death"
the holy things of God, including God’s Holy Land Eretz Israel, even Judea and Samaria,
will be divided up, even by fences.
God’s sacred land will be sold down the river, for a price.
Moses warned the covenant people
of God about this departure from the faith and the resulting tribulation that this compromise caused in the latter days.
He prophesied that His covenant people would compromise the faith and come into a time of trouble and tribulation
in the "latter days". It is right there in the Song of Moses.
Moses said that God’s people would end up getting themselves into some significant trouble.
YHVH/God also spoke through the prophet Hosea.
He declared that His covenant people were as Hosea’s wanton wife, lost
Gomer. His people would
runaway bride.
TIn the latter days they would get themselves into mischief and into a world of trouble.
Jesus/Yeshua Himself said the very same thing.
He said that
His people would choose another
‘prince’
who would come not in the Father’s name but in his own name.
This would be Gomer’s final fling.
Her "prince" would eventually turn out to be a Beast.
Enter the time of "Jacob’s trouble", the
Great Tribulation of the latter days.
This end-time drama will turn out to be the quintessential story of
‘beauty and the beast’. (John 5:43)
THE 7 YEAR PEACE COVENANT OF DAN. 9:27, THE TERMINUS OF THE ROADMAP TO PEACE,
MAY TURN OUT TO BE THE FULFILLMENT OF THE NEXT FEAST, THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS
|
When that peace treaty is signed it will be an awesome day.
There is no other word to describe it.
The trumpets will be blowing in a great fanfare and in celebration of the event.
Other trumpets will be blowing in alarm and warning.
This will probably be the final epic fulfillment of the 5th feast
of Israel, the
Feast of Trumpets.
This is the very next Hebrew feast due to erupt into holy history.
As we shall discuss further on in this article, there is some good evidence
that the
peace covenant of Dan.9:27 will be confirmed right on
a future Jewish new year.
If it is the 7 year peace covenant of Dan.9:27
then it would herald the re-opening or resumption
of the
Seventy Weeks Prophecy.
Daniel’s
70th Week will have begun.
What a day that will be! The trumpets will be sounding.
They will announce the soon coming of the Messiah and the opening of that
time "cut out and set apart by God" for His determined dealings
with His covenant people. This will involve the Jewish nation of Israel, the G-7 nations,
the holy city of Jerusalem, and the covenant Congregation/Church of the God of Israel
scattered throughout in the world.
It seems that the yet to be fulfilled
Fall Feasts are not just quaint Jewish traditional celebrations of a bygone era.
The fall feasts are precisely time linked to the
beginning and ending of the
70th Week of Daniel.
They are in fact way points into and out of
the
final seven years of this age.
This story has not yet been told.
Here it is in a nutshell.
The
Feast of Trumpets is a day of blowing of trumpets, trumpets of celebration?
No, trumpets of alarm.
The holy day after that is the
Day of Atonement or Day of Reckoning which surely marks the last day of this age.
Now when these two yet to be fulfilled feasts are separated by
seven years, (and 86 moons not 87 moons)
in the 19 year Hebrew
metatonic calendar cycle these two holy days
mark out a feast to feast timespan of 2550 days.
Now we shall hear "the rest of the story".
Daniel’s 70th Week is a timespan of 1260 + 1260 = 2520 days.
Then there is the 30 day extension beyond the second 1260 days
taking history on to its terminus at 1290 days.
This message concerning the 1290 days was given to the prophet Daniel
by the angel Gabriel. (Dan. 12:11)
So when we add our 1260 + 1260 + 30 days or
1260 + 1290 = 2550 days
then we notice something absolutely astounding.
We get precisely 2550 days!
It is an exact fit!
Is this just a coincidence?
Probably not.
This epic future peace in the Middle East
would certainly fit the spirit, nature, and purpose of this trumpet blowing scenario.
The
Feast of Trumpets is
the first of the yet to be fulfilled
Fall Feasts. These are the final three feasts of the
Seven Feasts of Israel.
The Feast of Trumpets is characterized in Leviticus 23
as "a memorial day of blowing of trumpets, a holy,
called out, assembly." (Lev.23:24)
This just happens to be the very next feast to come to fulfillment.
The trumpets will probably be blown
by some in celebration and by others in alarm. (Joel 2)
The watchmen of Israel will be sounding the trumpets of
alarm and warning.
They will be "calling out of everyone to a sacred assembly" before YHVH-God.
This scenario fits the character and the drama of that
awesome future day in which the seven year covenant of Dan.9:27 is confirmed.
The scenario pictured for us in Joel chapter 2 fits the occasion very well indeed.
This blockbuster future Daniel 9:27 peace covenant will not be
something done in secret.
Nor will it merely be
a photo-op with a handshake and something signed on a piece of paper.
It will not be just political theatrics or a hyped up
event with no meaningful subsequent execution.
We saw a demonstration of this sort of empty political showcasing
with the PLO peace agreement signed on the White House lawn.
This treaty had no "bite" to it and no sovereignty surrendered.
It was not worth the paper it was written on.
Then later we saw the Oslo accords signed.
But this too was much ado about nothing.
Oslo failed to bring in the desired peace in the Middle East.
In fact, as we saw, matters went from bad to worse.
Oslo certainly did not provide the peace to
allow the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.
But this future seven year covenant will be different.
It will be a major event. A significant level
of peace will be achieved by this treaty,
- for a while at least. And 3.5 years will certainly
be enough time to rebuild the Jewish Temple.
From what we see in the prohecy of the 2300 days the Temple may go up in a matter of 8 months.
Will there be scarifices in the future Temple?
Apparently so.
The Temple Mount Faithful have been preparing for this for many years now.
When the politico-religious status quo does change, and we know that it will from Daniel 9:27
then we can expect that the present impasse to the temple sacrifices will be swept aside.
The trolls at the gate of the Temple Mount will no longer deny worshipers of YHVH-God from entry to the Holy Place.
And the required permission to reinstate the Jewish sacrifices will be granted.
Then the long awaited moment will be realized. In the excitement and the onrush of events
the Hebrew sacrifices could resume on the Temple Mount almost immediately.
This would be truly historic. The period of desolation without sacrifice has already lasted 1938+ years.
This
seven year peace covenant is one of the the next big events in holy history.
Israel will hand over control of
the sovereign, God given, holy, consecrated, Land of Israel.
They will hand it over to someone who comes not in the Name of the God of Israel
but in his own name. This megadeal will open up the
70th Week of Daniel.
The power broker will not be who he seems to be.
He will be revealed later to be a
false messiah. The importance of this
seven year covenant with "many" cannot be overstated.
Its reality and its significance will be
proven by the extraordinary subsequent seven year history that emerges from this peace treaty.
When this covenant is signed and confirmed there will be huge consequences for Israel and for Western Christendom.
Great and
awesome events will start to happen.
This is clearly laid out for us in both parts of Daniel 9:27
as well as numerous other passages in Daniel’s prophecies.
Other Old Testament prophets tell the story
as well as Jesus/Yeshua Himself in the
Olivet Discourse.
