Since the Ninth of Av, Jewish worshippers have returned to the holy Mount in Jerusalem as whispers of a rebuilt Temple continue to grow louder

On the Ninth of Av three weeks ago, Jews very quietly returned to the Temple Mount to openly pray and prostrate themselves in a way not for many decades. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says this does not mean any official Israeli policy has changed, but obviously it has. Some are saying that these events point to the beginning of the building of the infrastructure of the coming Third Temple, and guess what? A new Temple is indeed coming to Israel, but it won’t be the Temple of the LORD. Not quite yet.

“So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.” Joel 3:17 (KJB)

Bible prophecy in both Old and New Testaments tell us that there will be a rebuilt Temple in the time of Jacob’s trouble, and it will be built for the one they will think is their long-promised Messiah. We see the TOJT Temple in places like Revelation 11:1,2, Matthew 24:15, Daniel 11:45 and others, and it will be used for and by Antichrist. Everything will seem great for the first 3.5 years, and then he will ‘stand in the holy place’ as Hell on Earth breaks loose. Christian, you can get excited by the prospect of a rebuilt Temple because that’ll mean the Rapture of the Church is just about to take place. The Jews will be Matthew 24:16 scattered one more time, they will be plunged into the Jeremiah 30:5-7 time of Jacob’s trouble, and the Isaiah 1:9 remnant will be redeemed at the Romans 11:26 Second Advent. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, that’s the memo.

Open Jewish prayer, prostration on Temple Mount since the Ninth of Av is now ‘routine,’ activists say

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: The new practice first gained attention on August 13, which this year was the date of the Jewish Fast of the Ninth of Av, when worshipers who visited the Temple Mount at the same time as National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prostrated themselves and prayed out loud. Police did not detain or remove any of the worshipers who engaged in such demonstrative prayer.

Ben Gvir insisted then and subsequently that his policy, as the minister with authority over the police, was to allow Jewish prayer at the site. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought to play down the development, asserting that there had been no change to the status quo. But Ben Gvir brushed off his protestations, and prayers have continued uninterrupted.

Veteran Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yitzhak Brand, who, unusually for such activists, is ultra-Orthodox (most Haredim oppose visits to the site), gave one of the lessons, noting the ability to perform prostration without restriction since August 13.

“We must give thanks to God that we have now merited greater closeness to God. Prostration is already a special form of worship on the Temple Mount and the site of the Temple, and this is another stage in the redemption,” Brand told the group of worshipers.

Rabbi Ofer Elyashiv, another ultra-Orthodox activist who has been visiting the Temple Mount for just a few years, also extolled the new-found liberty to bow down at the holy site and, like Brand, insisted it was another step toward the final redemption.

“The completion of the ingathering of the exiles is prostration on the Temple Mount. On the Ninth of Av, an opening was created by God… and prostration was formally allowed on the Temple Mount,” said Elyashiv. “Everything begins slowly. We are beginning to build the infrastructure for the Temple.” READ MORE
