Rabbi Vilna Gaon

During the 18th century [the 1700's] Rabbi Vilna Gaon prophesied that the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem, probably the most magnificent Jewish Synagogue in the entire world, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice, destroyed yet again and built a third time.

He prophesied that when it was rebuilt the third time, then construction would begin on the [third… ?] Jewish Temple.

The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed by the Muslims shortly after it was originally built.

A hundred years later it was rebuilt a second time.

Then it was destroyed for the second time by the Jordanian army during Israel’s war of independence in 1948-49. It lay in ruins until 2001!

That year the Israeli government and the Jewish people in Israel began rebuilding it again. Now here is the fascinating relation to end-time Bible prophecy…….

The Hurva Synagogue has just been completed, and is scheduled to be dedicated and officially opened in a grand ceremony in Jerusalem on March 15, 2010.
