he robe to be worn by the Jewish High Priest (Cohen ha Gadol) in the service of the Third Temple has been completed. The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has been diligently working to complete this highly important part of the High Priests garments for several years. I had the distinct honor of seeing the stones which would go into the breast plate back in the late 1970s.

The blue coat, called the me’il techelet in the Torah, has 72 golden bells alternating with 72 pomegranates attached around the hem. The robe is woven with blue, purple and scarlet wool. The outer robe will join the already completed ephod and choshen(breastplate), which features the 12 precious stones associated with the 12 tribes of Israel. The commandment to make this robe is found in Exodus 28:31-35.

Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute told Arutz-7, “This is the first robe woven entirely out of techelet in nearly 2,000 years.” The institute plans to embark on another major project: the production and supplying of the Torah-specified white garments for every male of the descendants of Aaron. These are the ordinary priests called Levites.

Chaim Richman said, “Every kohayn from all over the world will be given the opportunity to register and order his own uniform so that he can be ready to serve in the rebuilt Temple.”

These exciting accomplishments confirm the nearness of the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.  Y

Fred Shmidt’s Discovery

It was my high honor in 1980, to identify the Northwest cornerstone, and another stone remaining of the north wall of the Herodian Temple at the request of the Israeli Department of Antiquities. At that same occasion I identified the resting place for the Ark of The Covenant under the gazebo some 300-plus feet north of the Dome of the Rock. This discovery established that the Temple of Solomon and the Temple of Herod were positioned 330 feet north of the Dome of the Rock rather than over the site of the Dome of the Rock.

The assembly of the Third Temple will be immediately after Israel’s signing the false peace covenant on day-one of the 70th Week of Daniel.

The prophesied Jewish Temple cannot be built at this time for good reason: When the earlier temples were in operation, only one sacrifice was laid on the altar at a time. Sacrifices were not “stacked” in multiples upon the altar. The meaning behind this practice is significant. Your salvation is very personal. The Ruah ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) draws each person to Messiah individually. Yeshua comes into the heart of the penitent upon the individual’s personal invitation.

In Tenach (Old Testament) times, the smoke of the sacrifice rose straight up to the Heavenly Father even if the wind was blowing. This revealed how God’s power lifted the prayer of repentance up to His very throne-room as the person prays. The smoke of the substitute sacrifice rose up to the presence of God the Father in Heaven.

Yeshua’s sacrifice was the fulfillment of all the meaning of the symbolism wrapped in the substitute offerings of the animal sacrifices. When He paid off the debt of sin with the shedding of His own pure blood, He fulfilled the requirements which God laid down in Leviticus 17:11 which required the shedding of pure blood to atone for the sins of man. Only the Son of God could qualify to fulfill this requirement. He had the blood of the Father in His veins when He condescended to the form of the seed of lowly man, was born of the Jewish virgin and walked among us in the flesh.

Yeshua’s dying for our sins on the tree, and resurrecting from the grave on the third day, was historic and prophecy-fulfilling. Instead of the smoke of the sacrifice ascending straight up to the heavenly Father, the Sacrifice Himself rose up to Heaven!

That glorious series of events concluded the need for the offering of animal substitutes on the altar. From that day to this, all sinners who humble themselves in repentance, surrender and submit to the resurrected Savior become His “living sacrifices” (see Romans 14;1-3).

Redeemed believers everywhere are admonished to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). That pictures saints everywhere praying around the clock, keeping “living sacrifices” on the altar continuously. As long as the “living sacrifices” offer the sacrifices of prayer and praise to the great King of the universe, the altar is occupied.

Our Jewish brethren cannot build their Temple and revive the offering of substitutionary, sacrifices until the altar of the Earth is emptied of the “living sacrifices.” The great “catching away of the children of Light must take place first in order to empty the altar and prepare the way for the return to the Temple sacrificial system as prophesied in the holy Scriptures to take place in the 7 years of Daniel’s 70th Week (see Dan. 9:27; 12:11; Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:4; etc.).

This fact offers more proof that the born-again, mystical body of Messiah must be taken up out of harm’s way (Luke 21:36) so that the Tribulation can begin, the false peace covenant can be signed, and the Third Temple can be built safely because of a special clause inserted in that 7 year peace covenant which will permit them to do so!

Rejoice, you blood-bought believers! Your time remaining on this sin-cursed planet is in its final stages of countdown. For the born-again, the moment of “lift-off” is near at hand! May all who live yet in sin REPENT! Turn to the merciful and mighty Messiah while you still have breath in your body. The days of horrendous and indescribable judgment from the angry Creator are coming! The stage is being set before our very eyes. REPENT!!! Y

The War with Hamas And Hezballah

 Hamas terrorists tunneled under the Gaza-Israel border and reached an Israeli army post. They killed two soldiers and kidnapped one, Gilad Shalit, forcing him into their Gaza stronghold.

Israel invaded the Gaza Strip to get their young man back before the terrorists could kill him, or take him into the Egyptian Sinai. The Israel Defense Force hit known Hamas structures and destroyed bridges and escape routes. On July 14, Hamas blew a hole in the concrete border wall with the Egyptian Sinai.

Israel is cleaning house as they progress through the Strip, destroying Hamas strongholds and weapons factories as they search for their 19 year old soldier.

At the Lebanese border, a band of Hezballah terrorists entered Israel and attacked an Israeli post, killing several Israelis and kidnapping two IDF soldiers.

The Israeli military sprang into action. IDF jets bombed bridges and roads which could be used as an escape route. The deep concern is that Hezballah will try to get the two soldiers to Iran where they can be tortured and used as bait to blackmail Israel. The Muslim terrorists place no value on human life, but they know that Jews and Christians do.  Y
 

The Blame Points directly to Syria and Iran

 The funding for terrorist training facilities is widespread in Lebanon, who gets a share of the funds by sheltering and allowing freedom of movement to the Iranian-base terrorist group, Hezballah. Much of their military equipment originates from Russia, a practice dates back to the 1950s.

In this current conflict, Israel has exposed Syria’s involvement. Syria has planned and ordered many hundreds of attacks against Jewish targets. This practice dates back over the last 2 1/2 millennia. The orders for the latest attacks and kidnappings in both the Gaza Strip and the Lebanese border came from Syria who coordinated the plan with Iran.

Israel’s population has had to endure frequent attacks especially since 1948, causing the deaths of many hundreds of innocent civilians and injury to thousands.

Whenever Israel responds to attacks from terrorists, the UN and the EU (especially France, which has invested heavily in Iraq’s nuclear program), urge Israel to use restraint and diplomatic talks. The track-record of talks with the Muslims and the contracts of peaceful co-existence which they have signed on numerous occasions have never been honored by the Arabs. The world has demanded that Israel make all of the concessions while no demands of compliance have been required of the Arabs. One must ask, why?

When hundreds of Russian Katyusha rockets have been launched by Hezballah, the PLO and Hamas at Israeli schools and homes, the world says nothing. But, when Israel tries to defend its citizens, a loud cry sounds from hypocritical leaders saying that Israel’s response is “disproportionate” and too severe. They demand that Israel use only diplomatic talks, which the Islamists never honor. Israel has bowed to world pressure innumerable times over the years—to her own hurt. The Muslims continue unabated in their guerilla hit-and-run murders of innocent Jews as they continue their push toward world domination.  Y

Israel has endured enough.
The Muslim Mafia must be crushed.

Forget the opinion of nations which hate her, Israel must defend her citizenry. The Hezballah and Hamas must be broken and stripped of their military capabilities. This requires a thorough housecleaning.

In true Jewish compassion, Israeli jets dropped leaflets over Beirut warning the citizenry to move away from Hezballah structures so they would not be harmed. Terrorist groups make it a matter of policy to build weapons factories and terrorist training facilities within civilian neighborhoods. This sinister practice has an evil purpose. If the U.S. or Israel comes against them, civilians would inevitably be killed. Then, the terror organization would exploit the deaths of women and children to the world media, calling the Israelis callous killers. The purpose is to make Israel always look like the bad guy. If Israel does not attack the terrorist bases, the Islamic agenda of hate, death and destruction continues to grow in strength and spread its evil tentacles.  Y

 Back To Top

Will this be a short war,
Or will it spread?

 If the Israelis are successful in retrieving their kidnapped soldiers, the IDF will likely limit their action to destroying the Hamas and Hezballah infrastructure and military capability within Gaza and Lebanon. There may be some terrorist targets in Syria that must also be neutralized to assure the elimination of Hezballah’s control over Lebanon.

If, however, the Hamas in Gaza succeed in taking their kidnapped victim into the Sinai,—or,—if Hezballah in the north succeeds in taking their two kidnapped victims to Iran, then all bets are off. This war will likely suddenly explode into a full-scale, Middle East war. Israel may well respond in that region as well.

There is a strong possibility that this entire kidnapping drama was planned and staged by Iran and Syria with the two terrorist organizations to draw Israel into a showdown with the Persian dictatorship. Iran is itching for an excuse to use her Shahab 3, 4, and 5 missiles against Israel Europe and the United States.

If Iran sends her Shahab 5 using both the North Korean Taepo-Dong engine married to the Russian S-4 ICBM engine to the Eastern U.S., and North Korea coordinates the attack by sending her Taepo-Dong 2-C, the entirety of the United States and Canada are viable targets.

Pray that Israel’s soldiers are recovered without being harmed. Pray also that innocent civilians in Israel, as well as in Lebanon and Gaza will not be harmed during these volatile times, and that both Arabs and Jews everywhere will see that Yeshua is the true promised Messiah and Savior, providing redemption from sin to all who seek Him. The stage is nearly set for the Seventieth Week of Daniel’s prophecy to begin.  Y
