Third Temple Solution

You Don’t Need Permission

Israel/Palestine Peace for sure needs a totally different solution than endless different “Two State Solutions.” They never work. What we have HAD since 1948, and really, a little earlier, is a two state situation in which Palestinians are deprived of basic human rights, and explode now and then into a new Intifada or Hamas attack, followed by Israeli counter-attack which always kills even more Palestinians.

Over time, it gets worse and worse. In 2023, Israel’s provocation of the Palestinians was the most severe ever—they attacked Al Aqsa Mosque and even killed people there. On October 7, there was an unprecedented “unprovoked attack” in which hundreds of Hamas fighters somehow managed a surprise attack across an extremely secure border with far too much surveillance to allow any possibility that the attack was really a surprise. We have to understand that the world’s power elites and bankers orchestrate these things for their own purposes. Those purposes do not consider the well-being of normal people. They suppress anything that gets in their way. Their psychopathic way.

The psychopaths love war, obviously. They support pretended solutions that are merely cosmetic changes in the window dressing. The fundamental injustices remain to spark another war a few years later. The psychopaths sell millions and billions of dollars more military equipment and supplies (such as food and clothing) and reduce more “overpopulation.” They never allow anything that would actually stop that gravy train.

Some peacemakers have figured out that there must be a One-State solution, with both Jews and “Palestinians” in one nation, fully respecting the religious and human rights of all Abraham’s bodily and spiritual descendants. That is not possible now, because the non-Jews would be the majority, and are not fully prepared to let the Jews have a real homeland. The way must be prepared emotionally, first—and that requires The Third Temple. A temple is central to Judaism. They cannot fully follow their faith without one, and the only place they will accept is Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where that trademark golden Dome of the Rock now symbolizes Jerusalem to all the world. There is an even holier mosque called Al Aqsa there. Both are threatened by the intensity of the Jewish desire (and many Christians) for a temple there. This is a major source of conflict—and there is a beautiful solution.

Building the third temple is an idea whose time has come. It cannot be stopped. It needs fasting and prayers for God’s guidance, and fundraising, to begin with—who could stop any of that? And then people can clearly see what needs to be done and it will happen.

My next article will discuss Ishmael’s Biblical destiny to “cause to tabernacle” with all his brothers. A tabernacle is a tent of worship. Moses directed the construction of a tabernacle in the wilderness with the Israelites. Several chapters in Exodus describe it. It was magnificent! A few hundred years after the Israelites entered The Promised Land, King David’s son Solomon built the First Temple, Solomon’s Temple.  His son lost most of the kingdom by threatening to raise taxes. The northern kingdom was called “Israel” and built its own temple on Mount Gerizim, mentioned in Deuteronomy as a mountain of blessing. The Southern kingdom was called “Judea,” and included Solomon’s Temple. The two kingdoms sinned and got carried away to other lands. Solomon’s Temple was destroyed.

The Second Temple was built on the site of Solomon’s Temple when the Jews returned to Judea a few centuries before Jesus. It was enlarged and beautified by King Herod, so it is often referred to as “Herod’s Temple.” This was destroyed in 70 A.D., not one stone remaining atop another above the Temple Mount. Earthquakes stopped attempts to rebuild it. Now that Jews have arrived by the millions in Israel, they are very eager to build the third temple. Many want to “rebuild” the First or Second Temple. That would require destruction of one or both Muslim Mosques, which would NOT be treating others as you want to be treated, nor would it fulfill Judah’s/Israel’s mission “to be a light unto the world.” The threat is a major part of what drives the Muslim world so crazy about Israel.

There is a tradition among Orthodox Jews that the Third Temple will come down from Heaven. And indeed, satellite uplinks and downlinks will make it possible for every Jew in the world to participate in temple service if they can make it to their closest large assembly (The Bible mentions Jews assembling by myriads—tens of thousands). The Court of the Gentiles is easy—just make the TV download available to anybody who wants to watch. The hardest part is deciding where the Holy of Holies should go. Scholars disagree about just where it was. This is a crucial matter, so the first step in sparking the Real third temple that comes down from Heaven should be a week of fasting and prayer to God to reveal where He wants the Holy of Holies, and any other details or plans He wants us to know.

Then the Muslims start the building by announcing the general plan, and starting the fundraising. All Abraham’s children get to help. Fundraising, and teaching understanding—nobody is threatened and you can’t stop that. So it gives Muslims something safe to do that will make Al Aqsa safe, and lead to brotherly love amongst Abraham’s children. When this Temple is well started, that brotherly love will increase until all sides will want real peace, and easily create it.

The Jews have started preparations for the Third Temple by making supplies for it, garments for priests, etc. This expects to tear down one or both mosques, which must not be done. But they have also started the Heavenly Third Temple that comes down from Heaven. The “Kotel”  is the Western face of the Temple Mount where Jews come to mourn the loss of Herod’s Temple, and to Pray. There is a webcam there, broadcasting live to all the world. They have held one or two worldwide sing-alongs for Jews there. That is a precursor to the Temple we need to build. They would like money to support that, and that is something Muslims or Palestinians or anybody can contribute to, and nobody will stop it.

After a week of fasting as intensely as is safe (remember your body is a temple of God), and visions of God’s will, detailed plans can begin for satellite uplinks from Jerusalem for worldwide TV, especially to the gatherings of Jews; and a few hundred large-screen TVs to download to Jerusalem from synagogues all around the world, so Jews can worship together.

There is a great deal more to say about The Third Temple From Heaven. This is a start.
