In addition, the 4,000 harps needed for the Levites to play the Temple music as called for by King David in 1 Chronicles 23:5 are close to being completed by the craftsmen at the House of Harrari. The secret of the correct shade of blue has been lost since the destruction of the Second Temple,…until the Ptil Tekhelet nonprofit organization identified it as the murex trunculus, aka hexaplex trunculus, the banded dye-murex found near the Mediterranean Sea.
Special flaxen thread was imported from India and overseas travel was necessary to obtain the correct colors for the clothes, including to Istanbul, to purchase mountain worms from which the correct shade of crimson is derived. It took years of research to make these garments: Rabbi Kahane, who received the first set of priestly garments, has his hanging in his closet, ready to be put on in a moment’s notice. Many of the priestly garments are prepared and in storage. Over the past 25 years it has trained thousands from around the world.
#SQUIDOO THIRD TEMPLE HOW TO#
Near Jericho in the Jordan Valley, a training center educates men who believe themselves to be from the tribe of Levi and the priestly family in how to serve in the next Temple. It is said to have been consecrated with water from the biblical pool of Siloam and cut with diamonds. Gershon Salomon’s Temple Mount Faithful have a cornerstone ready for when construction begins. For a number of years, he directed the Temple Institute’s effort to get ready to rebuild. Rabbi Glick is calling for Jewish people to unite and make every effort to visit this sacred location and focus on rebuilding the Temple. Israel gave the Waqf control as a gesture of goodwill after the city’s reunification in 1967. They took that hill for Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, which led to the reunification of Jerusalem.Īlthough the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, Jewish people are not allowed to pray there or go up in large groups because it is controlled by the Muslim Waqf. Paratroopers, said Rabbi Glick, have a “special relationship” to the Temple Mount. He recently lead an educational tour of 10 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) paratroopers in what marked the first time uniformed IDF troops have been on the Temple Mount in a decade. Rabbi Yehuda Glick, chairman of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, leads Jewish tours onto the Temple Mount to increase familiarity with this holiest of Jewish places before the next Temple is built. (See “ Where Is the Ark of the Covenant?”) Two rabbis and a Jewish activist, all working toward building the third Temple, say they have been to the location. In addition, the Temple Institute also believes it knows the location of the Ark of the Covenant, which was last seen in Solomon’s Temple. The Temple Institute has painstakingly reconstructed it. The original menorah may still be in Rome. Many think the original menorah, a seven-branched candelabra, was carried off to Rome after the second Temple was destroyed because a carving on the Arch of Titus in Rome seems to display exactly that. The menorah, currently on display overlooking the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem, is covered with 95 pounds of pure gold and reportedly is worth $2 million.
The Institute has trained men for Temple service and accumulated all the implements needed for a Temple, including the table of showbread, altar of incense, and golden menorah. Rabbi Kahane trained everyone who leads the effort to rebuild and it was his students who started the Temple Institute in 1987 in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City.
The end-times scenario in God’s prophetic Word calls for a Jewish Temple to be standing when the Antichrist rules the world. The second, built after the Babylonian Captivity on the same site (Ezra 2:68 6:7), stood for 585 years before being destroyed by the Romans in A.D. The world has known only two Jewish Temples: The first, built on the Temple Mount by King Solomon, stood for 390 years before the Babylonians destroyed it in 586 B.C. Rabbi Nachman Kahane, 75, a leading rabbi in Jerusalem, believes a Temple will be built on the Temple Mount in his lifetime and he says everything is ready to build that Temple today. That sign is the status of preparations for the next Jewish Temple to be built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. However, though there are no signs for the Rapture, there is at least one major indicator it is close at hand. In fact, nothing but the long-suffering grace and mercy of God prevents it from occurring right now. It is imminent it can happen at any moment. No prophecies have yet to be fulfilled before the Rapture can take place. The Rapture of the church is the next main event on God’s timetable of prophetic activities.
