Wheres the Temple on the Temple Mount?
God V. GodsAristotle referred to happiness as the most we can achieve. Demons and gods were interchangeable in the .....
Something's missing. Rome is synonymous with the Vatican, Mecca
with the Kaaba, and Jerusalem's known for its Western Wall. But
WHY should we stand before the wall, letting it obstruct our
vision, when we could be praying in a Temple? Why should Jews
continue to bow before an illegitimate Gentile decree that tells
them where to pray? (Isa. 10:1).
The Turks designated the Wall as an alternative "holy" site
since Muslims had stolen the Temple Mount! If we rightly refused
to accept Uganda as a Jewish "homeland," why should Jews settle
for anything less than a Temple for worship?
That basically, is the gist of the message our demonstrations
seek to send. The Temple Mount
and Land of Israel Faithful Movement doesn't only
protest the ongoing Muslim occupation of our Temple Mount, but
proclaims that this unnatural set of circumstances will come to
an end. We're confident that Muslim rule on the Temple Mount
will soon be history, just as surely as the Berlin Wall fell and
Eastern Europe came out from under the Russian heel!
Who Is Righteous? Learn not the ways of the white. It will blow your heads South African proverb Some two thousand years ago, ..... The restoration of Jews from all over the world to their
ancient homeland is only the first step towards the redemption
of our land and lives. Israel, for the most part, is an empty,
secular state. It's about as Jewish as America is Christian! THE
FACT THAT THE TEMPLE MOUNT IS STILL WITHOUT A TEMPLE STANDS AS
AN INDICTMENT AGAINST ISRAEL! God will hold Israel's political
and religious leaders responsible!
Jerusalem's known as the heart of Israel, the crown of the
"Jewish" State. The Temple Mount is the crown jewel. This
historic Jewish treasure is a "diamond in the rough." It awaits
our craftsmen's tender loving care to bring it to the brilliant
perfection it deserves (Ps. 50:2). We protest that this
responsibility hasn't been fulfilled yet, but we proclaim that
these things could change overnight. The world was caught off
guard by the rapid succession of events that shook Europe and
the former USSR. The "experts" exposed how ignorant they really
are.
Nobody needs to be surprised when inevitable events ROCK
JERUSALEM, and they feel its aftershocks worldwide. They've been
foretold. What's presently missing in Israel will be found when
we're filled with our historic mission and accomplish our
intended purpose: the restoration of the sacrifices and the
construction of the Third Temple!
Shamefully, today's leaders reflect a GHETTO-MENTALITY and
expose the sorry state of Israel and Jewish affairs! They're
starved for this world's affection, afraid to be different, and
too willing to sacrifice our unique identity! God condemns those
KAPOS OF COMPROMISE who would rather sell-out than take an
unpopular stand!
Whereas it's not politically correct, and goes against our
democratic grain, and could result in a backlash - Hanukkah
represents those who are willing, if and when necessary, to risk
the wrath of others to insure the triumph of good over evil, of
light over darkness, and right over wrong.
In this particular case, the Light of what's good and right was
the brilliant example of those faithful few Jews who held their
head high (sick and tired of being beaten down) and publicly
chose to reject alien ideas and destroy imposed idols.
The Maccabees weren't overly concerned with a suicidal fear of
world opinion, but mightily expressed their faith in GOD. They
didn't flirt with "foreign affairs," or engage in
self-destructive interfaith orgies. They kept the faith and
cleansed the Temple Mount of its spiritual filth.
World Jewry continues to celebrate Hanukkah to this day, but in
the spirit of hypocrisy! We're more like the COWERING HELLENISTS
who assimilated, rather than the courageous Maccabees who fought
to remain true to themselves!
Thank Heavens, there are a growing number in Israel who want to
see Jerusalem restored as our spiritual center, and our lives
rededicated to Biblical ideals, not humanist ideas. Pray for
Jerusalem's peace and the rekindling of Israel's light!
