For The First Time in 1900 Years - Temple Institute Preparing for 'Perpetual Offering'

For The First Time in 1900 Years - Temple Institute Preparing for 'Perpetual Offering'

Things are well under progress according to scripture!  This article lends further credence to my hunch that the Temple is going to begin being built at the conclusion of this next war, when a moderate Muslim makes a seven-year treaty for peace with Israel and the peoples of the Middle East.  What they will not know, is that he will have personal plans to use it for himself!


2 Thessalonians 2:3-4   "and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,  4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God."

Israel- How Can You Defend Her?

David Harris wrote a most interesting little article no the Huffington Post.  No, I don't read the blog, not regularly.  I read this in the observatins column of Daily Alert, prepared for the presidents of Jewish organizatins and corprations within the U.S. to keep them abreast of the world-situation.  I think he makes a very good point!

"How Can You Defend Israel?" - David Harris (Huffington Post)







After a lecture at a British university, an old acquaintance said to me: "I read the things you write about Israel. I hate them. How can you defend that country? What happened to the good liberal boy I knew 30 years ago?" I replied: "That good liberal boy hasn't changed his view. Israel is a liberal cause, and I am proud to speak up for it."


Sometimes it's the small things, the driving lesson in Jerusalem, with the student behind the wheel a devout Muslim woman, and the teacher an Israeli with a skullcap. It's the two gay men walking hand-in-hand along the Tel Aviv beachfront and no one looked at them. It's the Friday crowd at a mosque in Jaffa.


It's the central bus station in Tel Aviv where a free health clinic was set up for the thousands of Africans who have entered Israel, some illegally. While tiny Israel wonders how many such refugees it can absorb, Israeli medical professionals volunteer their time in the clinic.


It's Save a Child's Heart, an Israeli institution providing children from Iraq, the West Bank, Gaza, and other Arab places with world-class cardiac care for free.


It's the Israelis who, with quiet resolve and courage, are determined to defend their small sliver of land against every conceivable threat - the growing Hamas arsenal in Gaza; the dangerous build-up of missiles by Hizbullah in Lebanon; nuclear-aspiring Iran's calls for a world without Israel; Syria's hospitality to Hamas leaders and transshipment of weapons to Hizbullah; and enemies that shamelessly use civilians as human shields.
