Hera Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 The Temple Institute began rebuilding the altar from pulling rocks out of the Dead Sea. What are your thoughts?
The-Ice-Man Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Wikipedia is your friend guys. The Temple Institute are orthodox Jews who want to rebuild the temple that was destroyed by the Romans in the seige of Jerusalem, so that they can start sacrificing lambs and stuff again. There is the small matter of the giant Islamic shrine located right where they want to build it though. I don't mind if they do manage to build a temple there or not. Most orthodox Jews believe this should happen, but there's a debate over whether or not it should be built by man or by god. God isn't going to build one for them anytime soon if you ask me, so if they want one, they should do it themselves.

Hera Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 According to the Bible, if the Temple was rebuilt then that is when the antichrist comes into play. So if they're building the altar before the debates are over on the Temple Mount, it wouldn't be too far long for the "Rapture" to occur. The book of Revelation is a friend too. It's quite exciting & scary at the same time.
Inky Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 the 'rapture' is never mentioned in the bible. there are a few passages in the new testement but they are debatable. it's made up by the evangelicals.building the alter doesn't do much good when the Muslims control the Temple Mount. In order to fulfill the prophesy they have to rebuild on the site where the DOme of the Rock is. I don't think The Muslims are giving up the Dome of the rock anytime soon.

Impressive Inks, need to sum research to verify that 1st part but indeed impressive.
Hera Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 It's not technically called the rapture and that's why I had it in quotations. However, it does state in the Bible that the people of the Church will be taken first before the antichrist professes himself as God. There are debates on the Temple Mount. Although there have been some talk of treaties between the Muslim community and Jewish in regards to rebuilding it. But during this time of questioning, they are rebuilding the sacrificial altar that is meant to be placed in the Temple.
