The Doomsday Factor. The First and Second Jewish Temples were
Located on the Temple Mount, which is in danger of collapse.
Many christians today have no idea that there is prophecy of the
three temples. Many even denigh the fact. But The temple mount
is the center of all prophecy and conflict between the Isralies
and Muslims. The Anti- Christ will put his image in the third
temple and cause it to speak. 2Pe 2:1-3. ?But there were false
prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false
teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their
pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be
evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.? Here is
prophecy being fulfilled. The Israeli rabbinical council
involved with re-establishing the Sanhedrin, is calling upon all
groups involved in Temple Mount research to prepare detailed
architectural plans for the reconstruction of the Jewish Holy
Temple.[The Third Temple.] Muslims believe the Temple Mount is
the place where Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, ascended to
heaven. On the other hand, for Jews and Christians, the Temple
Mount is the place where the Jewish temple once stood and is the
"center of spiritual and religious national aspirations of the
Jews in Israel," [The Temple of Soloman.] In addition, the
Temple Mount was where Jesus taught and overturned the
moneychangers' tables. {Mat 21:12-13. And Jesus went into the
temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the
seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, ?It is
written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye
have made it a den of thieves.?} The Sanhedrin is the name given
in the mishna to the council of seventy-one Jewish sages who
constituted the Supreme Court and legislative body in Judea
during the Roman period. The make-up of the council included a
president, vice president, and sixty-nine general members who
all sat in the form of a semi-circle when in session. Though the
majority of the membership of the 71-member "new" Sanhedrin
remain anonymous, three out of seven members who have been
selected to represent the body are leaders of the Temple Mount
movement, an array of radical groups who advocate demolishing
the Al-Aqsa Mosque to make way for a third temple in Jerusalem.
Further, the "new" Sanhedrin has confirmed its place within the
Temple Mount Movement by announcing its intention to take steps
toward the rebuilding of the temple. Subscribers to the Temple
Mount Movement believe that, by rebuilding of the Temple, they
can usher in a Messianic Era of eternal peace.[ref. Dan_7:20-25,
Dan_8:9-12; Rev_13:11-13] To understand better, we must turn to
the Word of God. Dan 9:26-27. And after threescore and two weeks
shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of
the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto
the end of the war desolations are determined. And
he[anti-christ] shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week[7 years]: and in the midst of the week[3.5 years] he shall
cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the
over-spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate. The Doomsday Factor that we see today is the
struggle over the land promised by God to Israel thru, Moses,
Aaron & Abraham. ?The threat of an attack by Jewish extremists
on the Temple Mount is of great concern to Israeli security
officials as Israel prepares to withdraw from Gaza, according to
former Shin Bet head Avi Dichter. Security officials refer to
the possibility as the "doomsday scenario." An attack on the
Temple Mount (Dome of The Rock) would be disastrous for Israel
and the rest of the Christian world. Many would be killed, not
only in Israel but the entire world. World War would break out.
Here is Gods promise to Israel. Deu 11:24 Every place whereon
the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the
wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates,
even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. [ Ref;
Gen_15:18-21; Exo_23:31; Num_34:3-15; Jos_1:3, Jos_1:4,
Jos_14:9; 1Ki_4:21, 1Ki_4:24; 2Ch_9:26] 2Pe 2:6 And turning the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an
overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should
live ungodly; Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon
the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and
the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the
east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great
valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north,
and half of it toward the south. 2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural
brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the
things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in
their own corruption; Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come. Luke 21:25 And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring; Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be
judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants
the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the
earth. Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Rev 18:3 For all nations
have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of
her delicacies. Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel,
saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because
she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication. The end is coming, weather you believe or not.
prophecy is being fulfilled and the doomsday factor has already
started. Let me leave you with one last thought from Christ; ? I
am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be
already kindled?? [Luk_12:51, Luk_12:52; Isa_11:4;
Joe_2:30,Joe_2:31; Mal_3:2, Mal_3:3, Mal_4:1; Mat_3:10-12] ars.
