Aaron's DNA

Um. Like the Moslems sealing up the East Gate of Jerusalem so the Messiah can’t come in. (Do I have the right gate?)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HA HA HAHA HA HA HA HA…wait…HA HA HA…can’t …HA HA…can’t catch my breath…HAAAA HAAA…
Seriously, I can’t think of anything more feeble.

Big deal.

Jews have always known who was a cohen (priest), who was a levite, and who was not.

Right. But even when they knew it, they had to prove it. Remember what happened when they returned from the captivity under Nehemiah? Levites who could not prove their genealogy could not serve as priests. This is one of the links to our Tradition of Apostolic Succession.

I was wrong. It’s the Golden Gate. And YES. It is bricked up so the Messiah cannot enter. Now, why would they want to prevent that?

When Mashiach comes, he will do that himself.

Any Jews trying to force the Redemption in their own strength will fail. This is why the STATE of Israel has largely failed: they have tried to force the return to the Land through their own power, and not God’s.

Any government established by men will fail. The State of Isreal is no exception. The Old Testament prophesies many kingdoms or empires that would rise and fall. The term state is a modern one, but it is the same thing. They come and go. They are flawed and the flaws eventually cause their collapse. The American system is no different. Royal houses may go one for a couple of centuries. The papacy has been around for two millenia. The insititution that will not collapse is one that is divinely instituted, built on a rock.

The history of the Jews shows that God made a series of covenants with men. Each on expanded in scope over the one it superseded. There was a covenant with a man and woman, then a family, Noah’s, then a tribe, twelve tribes, then a nation and finally all mankind in a “new and everlasting covenant”. It can not expand further. Each of these are based on a divine promise or oath. Men do not make covenants with God. God makes them with men.

All men fell through Adam. Salvation or redemption comes to all men (nations) through God, but “Salvation is of the Jews”.

Salvation history, God’s work of redemption is the story of the Jews, or traceable through their history, where they are chosen as a people to bring salvation to all nations, not simply themselves.

The covenant with Abraham was not fulfilled in his lifetime. He and his family were not the great nation God promised to make. There are a few million Jews today in a world full of billions of souls. God’s salvation that is of the Jews is for all nations through Abraham.

The Jews miss their own greatness while they still mutter to themselves that they are God’s people. They have opened the doors of salvation to all. All nations revere Jerusalem and the God of Abraham as promised and they don’t get it. It is happening under their noses with millions coming to the holy city from all over the world every year.

Peace, shalom, salem, be upon Israel.

The sacrifice to recnoncile the fallen race of men to God is made.

As far as I know, they would have to tear down the current mosque located on the site of the old temple first. That probably wont go over well with the Muslim population.

I haven’t heard anything about training priest. But who knows?

Well, just a thought, maybe the Muslims shouldn’t have built a mosque on the site of the Temple? They claim the spot as holy, but when they face Mecca their back is to Jerusalem…

But apart from that, I have seen programs where archeologists disagree with the location of the Old Temple, and assert that the Mosque, while built very near to the Old Temple, is not actually on the exact spot. Not that such a fine point would make a difference to anyone determined to be outraged, but it was an interesting theory.

I think they have a story about Mohammed being transported to Jerusalem on a white horse over the space of one night over that spot and ascending to heaven for a brief period of time. That is why they see the site as sacred.

As a Christian, I feel like we shouldn’t be worried about the location of any Jewish temple since Christ has made us (our bodies) temples of the Holy Spirit, and Christ clearly identified his own body as the temple that would be destroyed and rebuilt over the spand of three days.

Oh, I know the story, and I’m not personally concerned about the location of any building. I was just responding to another post where someone mentioned that the Muslims would be upset to have the Jewish Temple rebuilt on that site. Perhaps had they not built on a site that was already sacred to Jews, they would have avoided future conflict. The point is that there’s plenty of upset, and blame, to go around. No one has a monopoly on either.

Agreed.
