Building the Third Temple ~ And Demolishing the Dome of the Rock

[link to users.cyberone.com.au]
1. From Uri Davis, Israel: An Apartheid State, Zed Books, London 1987:

"The impact of the Deir Yasin massacre in 1948 was subsequently assessed by Israel Eldad (Scheib), who together with the future Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Shamir and Nathan Yalin-Mor (Friedman), led the LEHI. As noted above, the LEHI and the Irgun together both planned the attack and perpetrated the massacre as Deir Yasin. Speaking at a closed discussion in the summer of 1967, as subsequently transcribed and published in the influential journal De´ot (´Opinions´) in the winter of the following year, Eldad commented:

"{quote} I have always said that if the deepest and profoundest hope symbolizing redemption is the re-building of the Jewish Temple . . . then it is obvious that those mosques [al-Haram al-Sharif and al-Aqsa] will have, one way or another, to disappear one of these days . . . Had it not been for Deir Yasin - half a million Arabs would be living in the state of lsrael [in l948].The state of Israel would not have existed. We must not disregard this, with full awareness of the responsibility involved. All wars are cruel. There is no way out of that. This country will either be Eretz Israel with an absolute Jewish majority and a small Arab minority, or Eretz Ishmael, and Jewish emigration will begin again if we do not expel the Arabs one way or another . . (Eldad. ´On the Spirit That Was Revealed in the People´, De´ot, Winter 1968; as quoted in Davis and Mezvinsky (eds.) Documents from Israel (1967-1973, pp.l86-7). {end quote}"

6. Why is the "Rock of Ages" holy? Now inside the (Islamic) Dome of the Rock, it´s said to be the site where Abraham "sacrificed" Isaac, inaugurating the Jewish Covenant. Hyam Maccoby claims that Judaism really did begin with a Human Sacrifice: maccoby.html. Are Isaac´s remains there? Must the Jewish Temple be built on the exact spot?

7. Emails from Temple Mount Faithful, sent to a mailing list:

(a) Announcing a march on Oct. 16 to lay the cornerstone of the Third Temple ... "The event has the approval of the Israeli authorities and will be protected by the Israel security forces." This event could unleash a world war between Israel (supported by the West) and the Islamic countries ... and yet the proponents say that they are inaugurating a new era of world peace and world government from Jerusalem: "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more." 2000, October 11: tmf-oct11.html.

The Government of Israel Reopens the Temple Mount to Israelis, Jews and Christians

After the Holy Site of the Temple Had Been Closed to Non-Moslems for 3 Years

This is, thanks to GÕd, a great success for the Temple Mount Faithful Mov ement campaign to open the Temple Mount, to remove the enemies and their de secration of the holy site of the GÕd and people of Israel and to rebuild the Third Temple in our lifetime as an opening for the coming of Mashiach ben David.

Thanks to the intensive and constant campaign of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement over the last 3 years since the Temple Mount was closed to non-Moslems, the government of Israel today reopened the Temple Mount to Israelis, Jews, Christians and non-Moslems. It was so important to hear from the Israeli Minister of Internal Security that the Temple Mount will never again be closed to Israelis, Jews, Christians and non-Moslems.

3 years ago, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (at that time leader of the opposition) went up on the Temple Mount to demonstrate Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount and in this way to declare to everyone in the world and to the enemies of Israel that the Temple Mount is the holiest site of Israel and the Jewish People and the location of the First, Second and Third Temples. The Arabs - so-called "Palestinians" - under the leadership of the arch-murderer and terrorist, Yasser Arafat, and his bands in the PLO, immediately started bloody terror attacks against innocent Israelis in the midst of the land of Israel. They stated that this was as a reaction to Ariel Sharon going up onto the Temple Mount. They understood what some forgot that the end-time destiny of Israel will be decided on the Temple Mount and that once they are removed from the most holy site of the GÕd and people of Israel and the Third Temple built, they will be completely removed from all the land of Israel and an end will come to their bloody wars against Israel and the kingdom of the GÕd of Israel will be established in Jerusalem, all over Israel and in all the world. Also their goals to destroy Israel and to occupy all the world and make it an Islamic world will come to an end.

Since the Six Day War, the Temple Mount Faithful Movement has called on all the governments in Israel to bring about this godly end-time redemptional cause which will redeem Jerusalem and all the land of Israel, remove the enemies from the land and bring redemption, not only to Israel, but to all the world. ...

9. David Ben-Gurion predicts World Government by 1987: writing in LOOK magazine, Jan. 16, 1962 (scroll down to see text): bengur62.jpg.

Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, seemed to have remarkable prescience. Invited in 1962 to predict what the world would be like in 25 years´ time, he wrote:

"The image of the world in 1987 as traced in my imagination: the Cold War will be a thing of the past. Internal pressure of the constantly growing intelligensia in Russia for more freedom and the pressure of the masses for raising their living standards may lead to a gradual democratization of the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the increasing influence of the workers and farmers, and rising political importance of men of science, may transform the United States into a welfare state with a planned economy. Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of autonomous states having a Socialist and democratic regime. With the exception of the USSR as a federated Eurasian state, all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies will be abolished, and there will be no more wars. In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the scene of the Supreme Court of Mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated continents, as prophesied by Isaiah. Higher education will be the right of every person in the world. A pill to prevent pregnanacy will slow down the explosive natural increase in China and India. And by 1987, the average life-span of man will reach 100 years."

What´s the Bible get to do with Zionism? David Ben-Gurion´s answer is his book BEN-GURION LOOKS AT THE BIBLE (translated by JONATHAN KOLATCH, 1972): bengur-bible.html.

The Exodus and the Archaeology of the Bible - the findings of Egyptologist Donald B. Redford, and Israeli Archaeologists Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman: archaeology-bible.html.

Ben Gurion wrote in BEN-GURION LOOKS AT THE BIBLE:

"The great Jewish scientists and philosophers of the last few generations - Spinoza, Einstein, Freud, Robert Oppenheimer and others - were natives of Europe and America." (p. 111).

Those "men of science" show up again later:

"from the days of Spinoza to Marx, Freud, Einstein and the rest of the great Jewish scientists" (p. 287),

and in Ben-Gurion´s article in LOOK magazine of January 16, 1962, envisaging a World Government ... "the increasing influence of the workers and farmers, and the rising political importance of men of science, may transform the United States into a welfare state with a planned economy".

Ben Gurion, upholding Marxism of the Trotskyist kind but rejecting Stalinism (because Stalin had stolen the Jewish conspiracy, i.e. returned power to the Russians), was advocating Convergence between the U.S. & the U.S.S.R.: convergence.html.

Einstein, Marx and Freud - "great Jewish scientists" - are a "holy trinity" of our time. Einstein´s apotheosis is examined at einstein.html.

10. An expose by Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky of Schneerson, Gershon Scholem (the leader of Temple Mount Faithful), and similar rabbis: "There is something infinitely more holy and unique about Jewish life than non-Jewish life." .. "The similarities between the Jewish political messianic trend and German Nazism are glaring. The Gentiles are for the messianists what the Jews were for the Nazis... the extreme chauvinism of the messianists is directed towards all non-Jews. The 1973 Yom Kippur War, for instance, was in Amital´s view not directed against Egyptians, Syrians and/or all Arabs but against all non-Jews. ... This hatred of non-Jews is not new but, ... derived from a continuous Jewish cabbalistic tradition. Those Jewish scholars who have attempted to hide this fact from non-Jews and even from many Jews have not only done a disservice to scholarship; they have aided the growth of this Jewish analogue to German Nazism" ... " the imminent coming of the Messiah ... the Jews, aided by God, will thereafter triumph over the non-Jews and rule over them forever. (This, it is alleged, will be good for the non-Jews.)": Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel: shahak2.html.

11. Professor Israel Shahak wrote in his book Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years (Pluto Press, London 1994):

{p. 8} In 1956 I eagerly swallowed all of Ben-Gurion´s political and military reasons for Israel initiating the Suez War, until he (in spite of being an atheist, proud of his disregard of the commandments of Jewish religion) pronounced in the Knesset on the third day of that war, that the real reason for it is ´the restoration of the kingdom of David and Solomon´ to its Biblical borders. At this point in his speech, almost every Knesset {p. 9} member spontaneously rose and sang the Israeli national anthem. {endquote}

{p. 16} non-Jews ... are considered to be, literally, limbs of Satan ... {p. 96} Anyone who lives in Israel knows how deep and widespread these attitudes of hatred and cruelty towards all Gentiles are among the majority of Israeli Jews ... {p. 103} Judaism, especially in its classical form, is totalitarian in nature" ... {p. 97} Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity {end of quotes} : shahak1.html.

12. The status of the Old City of Jerusalem was a major sticking point in the recent Camp David talks. Both sides want control of the "Rock". The Jews says their Temples were there first; but Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock have occupied the site for longer than all the Jewish temples combined.

The Dome of the Rock was built in 691 AD, Al Aqsa Mosque in 693 AD. Subsequently, both were damaged by earthquakes, and restored. In 1016 AD an earthquake caused the Dome of the Rock to collapse; it was rebuilt six years later. The Crusaders turned the Dome of the Rock into a church, and erected an altar on the Rock itself. The Knights Templar were formed there. The crusaders used Al Aqsa mosque as a royal residence, which they called the Palace of Solomon. This information comes from a booklet titled A Brief Guide to Al-Haram Al-Sharif Jerusalem (The Supreme Moslem Council, Jerusalem, 1935).

13. Note: Norman Cohn, the expert on Millenial Cults, in his book The Pursuit of the Millenium diagnosed many Christian millenial movements, but failed to diagnose Zionism - his own movement - as millenial: hiding.html.

In the same way, Freud diagnosed Christianity, but not Judaism, as a "mental illness": freud.html.

14. Ben-Ami Shillony´s book The Jews and the Japanese is intended to explain Judaism to Japanese readers.

Professor Shillony calls himself ´a Jew, an Israeli´ (p. 10). He writes,

´Judaism was the first religion to make world peace a central element in its eschatology´ (p. 31; but Judaism borrowed it from Zoroastrianism).

´Yet quite often peace implies domination, and in many languages the word "pacify" also means "conquer". King Solomon could afford to be a king of peace because he ruled "over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt´ (p. 32).

This quote, from 1 Kings 4:21, may not be historically accurate, yet it is the basis of promises that Jews will rule those lands again - at Genesis 15:18; Exodus 23:30-31; Deut 11:24; Josh 1:4 - and is a major motivator of modern Zionism.

The following quotes are from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible, copyrighted as are all modern translations. This human copyright on the Word of God is the reason why modern translations of the whole text of the Bible are not available for free on the internet; only old, out-of date translations like the King James are.

1 Kings 4:21 says:

´Solomon was sovereign over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.´

Genesis 15:18 says:

´On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates ..."´

Exodus 23:30-31 says:

´Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possessed the land. I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates ...´

Deuteronomy 11:24 says:

´Every place on which you set foot shall be yours; your territory shall extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon, and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the Western Sea.´

Joshua 1:4 says:

´From the wilderness and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory.´

In his Complete Diaries, Vol. II. p. 711, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, says that the area of the Jewish State stretches: "From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates":

{quote} Discussed with Bodenheimer the demands we will make.
Area: from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates. Stipulate a transitional period with our own institutions. A Jewish governor for this period. Afterwards, a relationship like that between Egypt and the Sultan. As soon as the Jewish inhabitants of a district amount to 2/3 of the population, Jewish administration goes in force politically, while local government (communal autonomy) always depends on the number of voters in the community.
These are Bodenheimer´s ideas, in part excellent.
A transitional stage is a good idea.
{endquote}

Shillony continues,

´The peaceful world that the Jewish prophets envisioned was to be ruled over by a scion of the House of David, later called the Messiah. The Jews ... were always inspired by the belief that in the future world of peace and justice they would serve as spiritual leaders. This vision of a world mission gave them the strength to suffer severe persecution and propelled them to the forefront of various messianic and "idealistic" movements in modern times like those of human rights, socialism, and communism´ (ibid., p. 32).

15. Temple Mount Faithful letter to Pope demands return of Menorah

[link to www.templemountfaithful.org]

The Temple Mount Faithful Movement Letter to the Pope

The Temple Mount Faithful Movement sent a letter to the pope demanding the immediate return to Israel of the Temple menorah, vessels and treasure. A call to everyone in the world to send such a letter to the Pope.

BeÕezrat HaShem With the help of G-d

Pope John-Paul II The Vatican Rome

22 January 2004

Sir,

A call from the G-d and people of Israel:

Immediately return the Temple menorah, vessels and treasures to Yerushalaim!

In the Name of the G-d of Israel, you are requested to immediately return the Jewish Temple Menorah and other Temple vessels and treasures to Jerusalem, to the soon-to-be-rebuilt Temple.

As you well know, in 70 CE the Romans occupied the City of G-d, Yerushalaim, and the Land of Israel and destroyed the Holy Temple of the G-d of Israel in Yerushalaim. They took away with them to Rome the holy Seven-Branch Menorah from the Temple and many other holy Temple vessels and treasures used by the Jews in the worship in the Temple. The evil emperor, Titus, who destroyed the Temple and burned it, built his Triumphal Arch in Rome on which is depicted the Menorah and other vessels carried by Jewish captives. Since this terrible event in the history of Israel and mankind, we know very well that the Menorah, the vessels and the treasures that were taken to Rome have remained in the vaults of the Vatican. Travellers and visitors to the Vatican throughout history have reported seeing them.

This is the time to return these articles to Israel. Today, Israel is the most exciting fulfilment of G-d´s endtime prophecies and promises. The climax of this prophetic time will be the soon rebuilding of the Temple exactly as the prophets of Israel prophesied. ...

This is not a vision for the distant future but a very clear actual and practical plan of G-d for the time in which we are now living. What G-d is now doing for Israel in the land of Israel is an opening for this and the biggest event ever which will take place in our lifetime. The Israeli Zionist revolution of our time was brought about by G-d as a foundation on which will be built all the endtime promises of G-d to Israel and all mankind and the Temple, the House of G-d in the midst of it. The desire of G-d for this which was expressed so excitingly in His Word to Israel: "And let them make a sanctuary and I will dwell among them" (Exodus 25:8) which is very soon to come to pass and this time it will have a significance to all mankind because now He will also dwell among all His creation.

I am sending this letter in the name of the G-d of Israel and the Universe, the G-d of my forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who together with His people Israel is now rebuilding His kingdom in the land which He promised to them. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, which is the endtime vessel of G-d to fulfil His prophetic endtime vision, is today answering the call of G-d to them: go to the Pope and tell him in my name - let my holy Temple Menorah, vessels and treasures go! Return them immediately to my people in Yerushalaim. We are looking forward to you answering this call of G-d and immediately returning them to Yerushalaim to the Temple which will soon be rebuilt.

Sincerely,

Gershon Salomon Chairman, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement

It is now three weeks since we sent the letter to the Pope in the Vatican in Rome with a copy to the Vatican Embassy in Israel. As of now, no answer or response has been received. Everyone who receives this letter or who reads it on the Website is called on to send their own letter to the Pope demanding that he immediately return the Temple Menora and vessels to Israel. Please also ask your friends, family, and acquaintances to also send letters. The Pope should know that there are millions of people in the world who demand that he do so. Please write to him that he must not ignore this demand and that he must do what a great emperor before him did. Cyrus the Persian King obeyed the commandment of G-d and returned the vessels of the First Temple which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, carried off when he destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem. The G-d of Israel and the Universe blessed him for this exactly as He promised to Abraham and his seed, Israel: "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" (Genesis 12:3). ...

Cyrus even encouraged the Jewish people to rebuild the house of G-d in Jerusalem, set them free from their captivity and sent them to the land of Israel and Israel:

"And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the L-rd by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the L-rd stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he issued a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying: Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, The L-rd God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. ... " (Ezra 1)

In your letters, please ask the Pope to also obey the commandment of G-d and to return to Israel the Temple Menorah and vessels which were taken to Rome from the Second Temple after it was destroyed in 70CE. Tell him that G-d will not allow him to ignore His commandment to him at this critical time of the redemption of Israel and the Third Temple. G-d will no longer allow the Temple Menorah and vessels to remain in Rome. If they are not immediately returned willingly they will be returned to Israel under the judgement of the G-d of Israel and the Universe.

Everyone who writes to the Pope about this matter will be blessed by G-d and will have an important part in the redemption and rebuilding of the endtime Temple of G-d in Jerusalem. If possible, please send us copies of your letters to the Pope.

16. Rabbi Gershon Salomon says ÒHallelujah!Ó at reports of damage to the Dome of the Rock

The Prophetic Endtime Promises of G-d Continue to Be Fulfilled

[link to www.templemountfaithful.org]

On 1 Adar 5764 [23 February 2004], a report was published in the Jerusalem Arabic newspaper El Quds stating that the roof of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount had been badly damaged by the earthquake which hit Israel and Jerusalem on 19 Shevat 5764 [11 February 2004]. Hallelujah!

Recently we wrote about the wall that had collapsed in the area of the Western Wall as a result of this earthquake. We also wrote about another wall of an Islamic museum in the Western Wall area which had collapsed and about the large bulge in the southern wall of the Temple Mount and the large bulge and crack on the eastern wall of the Temple Mount. We also wrote about the prophetic promises of G-d that, in the endtimes, He would remove the foreign pagan mosques and the foreigners from His holy mountain, the Temple Mount, through an earthquake. Zechariah prophesied the following endtime Word of G-d:

"Then shall the L-rd go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand on that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in its midst toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall be moved toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal; yes, you shall flee, like you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the L-rd my G-d shall come, and all the holy ones with you. And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall not be bright light nor thick darkness; But it shall be one day which shall be known to the L-rd, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light." (Zechariah 14:3-7) ...
