Jerusalem’s Temple Prophecy

Does Jerusalem’s Temple contain a prophecy for our age?

The first temple, in all its glory, was built on Mount Moriah where God stayed Abraham’s hand and provided a ram for the sacrifice in the place of Isaac.  Jerusalem’s Temple is all about sacrifice.

Abraham's Hand Stayed from Sacrificing his Son

The very nature of the temple building and its ordinances was indicative of the emphasis that God placed on the separateness of his people.  Only the sons of Aaron were chosen as the Priests to minister within the temple, and only the Levites, the descendents of the third son of Jacob and his wife Leah, were set apart by God to handle the holy things of worship.  And while Gentiles were not barred from entrance into the temple precincts, they could not venture beyond the outer courts.

Any violation of Israel’s separateness threatened the temple itself.  Read my related post, Temples in Jerusalem, for a deeper insight into the history of the first and second temples.  http://www.forest-of-lebanon.com/2012/02/temples-in-jerusalem/

The nation of Israel was always intended by God to stand apart, like the inner temple, raised above the pagan nations surrounding her.  She was to be a beacon, a purveyor of the truth.  Her Priests and Levites were not only caretakers of the Law of Moses, but should also have been able to interpret the prophets. And their ultimate purpose was to recognise and elevate Messiah when at last he was revealed. [Read more...]

Global March to Jerusalem March 30, 2012

Events in the Middle East are moving towards a climax, and the Global March to Jerusalem, March 30,2012, is ratcheting the scenario up another few notches.  The stated aim of this “global march” is to liberate Jerusalem and other occupied Palestinian territories from the “illegal Zionist occupation”.

 

Benjamin Netanyahu himself has seemingly gone out of his way recently to add fuel to the fire:

On Wednesday, Netanyahu said that an Israeli strike against Lebanon would be supported by the United States and countries of the Persian Gulf.

Speaking at a press conference during his visit to Switzerland, the Israeli premier said that “would be no Lebanon in the new world map.”

Lebanese President Michel Sleiman roundly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war threat but the fact remains that sabre-rattling has been moved onto a new level and Netanyahu has done nothing to improve Israel’s international image.

I would dare to suggest that everything taking place at this moment is part of a greater design.  Men in high places have ordained that 2012 will be a year of deep global change.  We are preparing for a New World Order that can only be birthed out of conflict and Israel is central to the plan.  And, although it sounds preposterous, Jerusalem and a Jewish Temple are the very heartbeat of what is taking place.

New Messiah, New Temple

New Messiah, New Temple.  Opus Dei predicts that very soon the Dome of the Rock on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount will be razed and a Third Temple will be built in its place.  Below is an excerpt from the novel.  Click here to buy the E book.

 

Jerusalem's Temple

Court of the Priests with Sacrificial Altar

“Please, Sovereign Lord,” he pleaded.  “You must go back!”

Below them, the court fell deathly silent.  There was a mocking hardness in the countenance of Lucis de Bar, as he stood dwarfed by the forty-foot high columns.  He nodded briefly at the prophet who shadowed his every move.  The old man raised gnarled hands towards the heavens and spoke a few words in the Latin tongue.  A searing column of fire fell as if from the heavens and the priests recoiled in abject fear.  Only the High Priest resolutely attempted to block their path into the inner vestibule.  De Bar’s men forced their way past, brushing him roughly aside.

Sovereign Lord, Jean de Bar stood poised to take the victor’s podium.  This was ancientRome’s fiery serpent; the beast with his roots in spiritual Babylon; the unicorn of the New Age and high initiate into the ancient mysteries.  The conspiracy of centuries found its culmination in this moment, the dethroning of the God of the universe by the Grand Emancipator, Nimrod reincarnate: El-Bar, Messiah of the Jews.  Sovereign Lord, Jean de Bar had pre-empted the prophesied return of Christ.

The High Priest turned to follow Jean de Bar and his entourage.

“Stop!” he cried.  “You don’t know what you are doing.  You can’t go in there!”

Ignoring him, one of the men wrenched open the gilded cypress doors with their decoration of flowers, palm trees and cherubim.  High, small windows dimly lighted both the vestibule and the sanctuary.  Beyond them and behind the veil, the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, was windowless.

Only on this day of Yom Kippur would the High Priest enter the Holy of Holies carrying a golden censer and a vessel filled with incense.  Then, dressed in a white linen robe, he would take a bowl bearing the blood of a sacrificed bullock to atone for his own sins, for the sins of the priests and the sins of the nation, to sprinkle on the Mercy Seat.

Desperately now, the High Priest blocked his path.  “You can’t go in there!” he begged.

De Bar’s lips drew back off his teeth in the mockery of a smile.  “You’re wrong,” he replied.  “Nothing can stop me.” [Read more...]

Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu – Right to Pre-emptive Attack

“President Barack Obama on Monday urged pressure and diplomacy to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized his nation’s right to a pre-emptive attack.  Even in proclaiming unity, neither leader gave ground on how to resolve the crisis.” BostonGlobe.com

Benjamin Netanyahu and Barak Obama

Both President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, while often appearing to be at odds with one another at yesterday’s meeting in the Oval Office, have a common agenda.  They are united in purpose over their intention to disable Iran’s nuclear installations and they intend to accomplish it soon.  It has suited both the United States and Israel to destabilise Syria forcing the government to focus on its internal problems.  In this way Syria’s military effectiveness will be hugely compromised in the coming battle for supremacy in the region.

While the US stance, to date, has been that the Assad government has ruthlessly killed defenceless citizens, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton    recently acknowledged that Al Qaeda, Hamas and other organizations on the United States terror list are involved in support of the Syrian opposition.  In other words, the USA is now collaborating with the enemy  in order bring about regime change in Syria.  What a ridiculous departure from the supposed war against terror!

United Nations Organisation – a Religious Body

Is the United Nations Organisation a religious body and, if so, what is its agenda?

United Nations New York

United Nations Building, New York

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robert Muller, the former Assistant Secretary General, who died a year ago, was passionately religious:

“Let us make this a unique event in all human history, perhaps applauded and supported by God, the saints and mysterious forces of the universe concerned with our doings on this miraculous planet and with our fate on it as the most advanced, most knowledgeable, conscious and capable of all living species. Let us make this magnificent Earth a Garden of Eden, inhabited by a miraculous humanity, a first-class success of the will of God and of the universe, a true paradise of fulfillment and happiness for our children and grandchildren.”

The United Religions Organization, once established, should proclaim its own saints and holy persons, namely global saints who worked for the peace and cooperation of all humanity, of all religions, for the birth of a global spirituality, for the promotion of the high spiritual values shared by all religions, and for the advent of a spiritual third Millennium.”

The core curriculum of Robert Muller’s Global Education Project envisaged a “cosmic education foreseen by the religious and by people like Maria Montessori… a holistic education, teaching the holism of the universe and the planet.” [Read more...]

Ayatollah Khamenei prepares the way for Shiite Twelfth Imam

OPUS DEI agrees with the prediction of the Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei that the Shiite Twelfth Imam will soon be revealed.

“In light of the realization of the divine promise by almighty God, the Zionists and the Great Satan (America) will soon be defeated,” Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader stated.

Iranian spiritual leader

Iranian Ayatollah-ali-Khamenei

The Ayatollah was speaking to hundreds of youths from more than 70 countries who were attending a world conference in Tehran on the Arab Spring.  He claimed the current century as the century of Islam and declared that human history is on the verge of a great event.  “Allah’s promises will be delivered and Islam will be victorious.”

It is said by many Iranian clerics that Khamenei is the deputy of the last Islamic messiah on earth and that obedience to him is necessary for the final glorification of Islam.

Khamenei believes that the coming of the last Islamic Messiah, the Shiite Twelfth Imam Mahdi, is near and that specific actions need to be taken to protect the Islamic regime.

According to Shiite belief, the destruction of Israel will trigger the coming of the Imam Mahdi who will make his appearance at the time of Armageddon.  Many in the Guards and Basij, trained under a task force called “Soldiers of Imam Mahdi”, have been told that the Shiite Twelfth Imam is on earth, and will soon announce his presence.

The novel, Opus Dei, also predicts the imminent revelation of the Twelfth Imam. Read a quote… [Read more...]

New World Order Leader – Israel’s Messiah?

Is it possible that the leader of the imminent New World Order, first officially proclaimed by George Bush Snr twenty-two years ago, (exactly eleven years before the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon) will be Israel’s Messiah?

George Bush Snr

George Bush Snr greets troops on eve of Gulf War

Almost without exception, every religion believes in a coming, or returning, “Messianic” leader.   Christian and Judaic expectation culminates in the coming  of Messiah to his temple.  The New World Order under the auspices of the United Nations also intends to unite the world under a single world leader.  At the same time, the doctrines of Freemasonry and other esoteric groups depend on the appearance of such a leader.  According to Benjamin Creme,  the Maitreya is the ”Avatar for the Aquarian Age” and has been living in London since 19 July 1977.

In full page adverts printed in newspapers world-wide in 1982, Creme put it this way: “A modern man concerned with modern problems, political, economic and social.  Since July 1977, the Christ has been emerging as a spokesman for a group or community in a well-known modern country.  He is not a religious leader, but an educator in the broadest sense of the word – pointing the way out of our present crisis…’” [Read more...]

Temple Mount. Dome of the Rock or Third Jewish Temple?

There are several reasons why the Dome of the Rock will make way for a Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem's Second Temple

1) Freemasonry Demands that the Temple be Built

Freemasonry is intrinsically Jewish.

The well-known rabbi, Isaac Wise concluded emphatically: “Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations, are Jewish from beginning to end.”

An Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, Philadelphia, 1906:  “Each Lodge is and must be a symbol of the Jewish temple; each Master in the Chair, a representative of the Jewish King; and every Mason a personification of the Jewish workman.”

Jewish Encyclopaedia, 1903, Vol, 5, page 503:  “The technical language, symbolism and rites of Freemasonry are full of Jewish ideas and terms . . . In the Scottish Rite, the dates on official documents are given according to the era and months of the Jewish calendar, and use is made of the Hebraic alphabet.”

La Verite Israelite, Jewish paper 1861, IV, page 74:  “The spirit of Freemasonry is the spirit of Judaism in its most fundamental beliefs; it is its ideas, its language, it is mostly its organization, the hopes which enlighten and support Israel.  It’s crowning will be that wonderful prayer house of which Jerusalem will be the triumphal centre and symbol.”

From the quote in La Verite Israelite above, we see that the crowning of Freemasonry is the “wonderful prayer house”, Jerusalem’s Temple, which will be the triumphal centre and symbol.  Symbol of what?  Freemasonry! [Read more...]

Temples in Jerusalem

While the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple sounds preposterous in this day and age, it is inevitable.  It will not be long before a Third Temple in Jerusalem graces the skyline in place of Islam’s Dome of the Rock.

I will give a brief historical overview of the two previous Temples before demonstrating the over-riding evidence for the erection of a third in my next post.

Herod's Temple

Model of Herod's Temple

The First Temple

Solomon, son of King David, laid the foundations of the First Temple on Mount Moriah in 1011BC.  Work was completed seven and a half years later in 1004 BC.  Although Israel’s King Solomon was the builder, the temple had been conceived in the heart of his father, David.   It was David who received the blueprint from God, and laid up the materials for its construction.

On completion, when Solomon brought the Ark of the Covenant into the temple and offered sacrifices to God, the Shekinah glory of God entered the Holy of Holies and the priests and Levites were unable to stand in the powerful presence of the living God.  (1 Kings 8:10)

The Temple Layout 

Both first and second temples consisted of the Porch, the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies, separated one from the other by a heavy curtain or veil.  This inner sanctuary was surrounded by courts through which the worshiper would enter and ascend gradually to the heart of the building.  The Court of the Gentiles was by far the largest of these courts, more than fourteen acres in extent, and could be entered by people of all nations.

Opus Dei – Razing the Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem

 

The Dome of the Rock, located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, was constructed on the site of the Second Jewish Temple.

Dome of the Rock

Sometime prior to 1994 (when the ANC government came into power in South Africa) I telephoned the bomb squad in Durban to find out how to write the chapter in Opus Dei in which the Dome of the Rock is destroyed.

“Ma’am, you’d better come down to the station!” was the reply.

I went with some trepidation and a young officer sat me down and began the interview by showing me lurid photographs of bomb blast victims.  I assured him I was simply writing a book.  He declined to give me details of the process needed to destroy the building in question, but provided me with enough information to write the chapter.  I have never checked to see whether the method of razing the building might have changed over the past sixteen  years or so, but the methodology hardly matters.

The police officer gave me this parting shot: ”Ma’am, if that building ever goes down, we’ll be calling you in!”

I am writing this post in the belief that the razing of the Dome of the Rock must shortly take place.  One does not have to be a prophet to foresee the inevitable.   Jerusalem’s Temple will be rebuilt, and the Dome of the Rock occupies the Temple Mount.  War is on the cards, but before sufficient anger can be generated to justify an attack, there has to be motivation.  Destruction of an internationally esteemed building, perhaps among the most widely-recognised in the world, and most importantly, an Islamic shrine of prime significance, would form a trigger point second-to-none for war.  It is guaranteed to arouse fury in the breasts of every Muslim.

A quote from Chapter 38 of Opus Dei:

“The order Israel had been waiting for was received from the United States on the eve of Purim.  The night conditions were perfect as a host of bombers took to the skies like bats in the darkness.  Surgical strikes, timed to the second, were made against Iran’s enrichment plants at Arak, Natanz, Bushier, Isfahan and other locations across Iran.   The operation was a massive gamble.  If they missed one plant; if their intelligence had misled them and the potential for one bomb remained, it was all over for Israel.
