Contrary to the overwhelming majority of people on earth utterly oblivious to Biblical truths and reality, even among many professing Christian faith, even among many Jews, there will be a Third Temple built.

Sooner than later.

It is Scriptural.

No matter how intently the world attempts to deny this truth. No matter how intently professed Christians and pastors refuse to learn or preach on the matter. I have heard one world-famous celebrity pastor who recently made international news with his approval of a grandmother attending a transgender wedding as if there could truly be such a thing as a true wedding, which is an institution ordained by God and corrupted and perverted by man, this same pastor from the pulpit has poop-pooped the building of a Third Temple stating that there is no need for one, and one will not be built as Jesus is the Temple.

True for Christians.

Not so much for Jews.

It is Biblical that there will be a physical Third Temple in the End of Days, the last of the last days prior to the Second and Final Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Take a bit of time, less than it takes to sit staring at a glowing screen for an hour watching some banal mind-numbing dung on television, a computer monitor, or a Smartphone and do the study within God’s Word which ought to convict and convince.

How can this come about considering present political circumstances?

Stop thinking in the very limited, finite, worldly manner as all men and women do ensnared by Satan, be they the greatest of heathens, unbelievers, or truly transformed by the Spirit of God, born anew disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ — and, yes, Satan works his lies and deceptions in the hearts and minds of God’s people more than he does in those he already has held in his grasp in their utter darkness — and believe the Holy Bible. Do not constrict or attempt to construct God in our image limiting Him to our earthly mind.

If paying attention the world is blinded by and appeasing, turning to Islam more each passing day. Either totally ignorant of what Islam truly is, or if not ignorant then complicit and siding with Islam which is against Israel, against God.

Imagine if you will…

…as pondering, wondering how events could lead up to all of Bible prophecy being fulfilled.

How is it that the nations of the world, all of them, including America, conspire to come together in an attempt to remove Israel and all Jews from the face of the earth?

As every Western nation has permitted themselves to be invaded and weakened by Islam, not permitting the truth of Islam to be spoken or written and hatred for Israel and Jews escalates by the day.

Israel becomes more defiant seeing how all the world turns against it. And while there has been trepidation and downright fear in Israel regarding building the Third Temple it will come to be. God will make the way even if man resists, rebels, and denies His existence in our affairs.

Thus, with the embracing and appeasing of Islam in every Western culture, and Islamists making their way into every Western government, the world’s rage against Israel comes to the boiling point upon Israel moving ahead with the construction of the Third Temple.

Opening the way for the fulfillment of every word within the Word of God.

Opening the way for the Antichrist to defile the temple in his declaration that he is God.

Opening the way, as the utterly lost people of the world who have taken the Antichrist’s name in their bodies, in the culmination of the wickedness within them and their obedience to Satan and his spawn, the Antichrist, plot, plan, and make the vain and foolish attempt to surround Israel and enter into the last and greatest physical battle the world will ever see.

Then, they will see the Lord Jesus Christ returning in the clouds…

Heaven Exults over Babylon

After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 19

There will be a physical Third Temple.

Coming sooner than later. No matter how people ignore it, the media, those in politics, government, schools, business, and even in more and more churches talk endlessly of distracting banalities always, even denying God, the spiritual war, and Bible prophecy as they are instruments of Satan.

Best prepare.

Yourself. Individually.

Then others.

Not in building of bunkers and putting together boogie bags and stockpiling emergency food to last seven years, and as much ammunition as you can buy.

No, best to prepare today in the ways and Word of the Lord, spiritually, within the heart, the mind, the soul, and the spirit for what is coming.

Much sooner than later.

The Whole Armor of God

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Red Heifers Ready For The Temple By Passover?

March 07, 2024

By Enoch Lavendar

Reprinted from Prophecy News Watch

Game changing developments are happening right now in Israel concerning the Third Temple. Probably the most critical missing link preventing the rebuilding of the Temple, is set to fall into place within months with crucial help from Christians.

Meanwhile Hamas is watching the developments closely and have even claimed it to be a major part of their motivation for the heinous Oct. 7 terror attack. With tensions already at boiling point across the Middle East, will we shortly see Israel take bold steps towards rebuilding the Temple?

Christian Rancher Provides the Missing Link

The final missing piece of the Third Temple project – the infamous ashes of a red heifer – is now only months away from falling into place. Theses ashes are Biblically mandated for purification in a range of situations including contact with dead bodies (see Num. 19).

Without the red heifer ashes, priests and Levites currently in training with the Temple Institute are disqualified from serving in a future rebuilt Temple. Furthermore, with all the bloodshed on the Temple Mount down through the centuries, the Mount itself must be cleansed before the Temple can be built.

The problem is that finding an unblemished red heifer is extremely rare. In recent years, Temple activists have had their efforts end in frustration time and again. Potential red heifer candidates have been located with great excitement, only to end up later developing white hairs or getting otherwise disqualified before they reach the required age to be sacrificed.

It was in this context that Byron Stinson, a Christian rancher from Texas, baffled Rabbis in 2022 as he invited them to his ranch to inspect what turned out to be five unblemished red heifers.

What happened next sounds almost like it was taken from a Hollywood movie script as the heifers were airlifted to Israel at around 1 year old (how do you even go about flying cows to the Holy Land?). Being greeted at the airport with a special ceremony officiated by Rabbis, the heifers were then taken out of the public eye to continue being quietly and meticulously groomed for the sacrifice.

Although one of the five was disqualified last year due to the emergence of a few white hairs, the remaining four remain on track to be eligible to be sacrificed this year. According to All Israel News, Temple Institute Rabbis hope to perform this ceremony prior to Passover this year while other sources claim it will happen sometime between Passover and Pentecost.

Linking Cows and Terror

While the story of the flight of the five heifers to Israel and their subsequent journey has certainly stirred great excitement among Temple activists as well as Christian students of Bible Prophecy, it curiously hardly got a mention in mainstream Israeli news.

It will surprise many Christians to discover that by and large, secular Israelis are uninterested and unaware of these developments. In addition, many Orthodox Jews are opposed to the any current moves to rebuild the Temple as most hold that it can only be rebuilt by the Messiah in the Messianic era.

However, the radical Islamic world understands the significance of the arrival of the red heifers and are incensed by their presence. It was no co-incidence that Hamas called its infamous and deadly October 7 terror attack “Operation Al Aqsa Flood”. Speaking at the 100 day mark of the current war with Israel, Abu Obeida, a military spokesman for Hamas, said that the aggression against “our path and Al-Aqsa” reached its peak with the “bringing of red cows.”

Hamas’ passionate calls for the ‘liberation’ of the Al Aqsa mosque from the Israeli threat, hits receptive ears in the Islamic world. Highlighting the broad level of Islamic concern for this site, the Organization of Islamic Co-Operation was founded in 1969 with the specific goal of protecting the Al-Aqsa mosque. Today this influential organization boasts 56 member states and is the second largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the U.N.

Will there be a Third Temple?

Israeli government officials of all persuasions are highly aware of Islamic sensitivities concerning the Temple Mount and have through the years repeatedly committed themselves to maintaining the ‘status quo’ on the Temple Mount for this very reason.

While the ashes of a red heifer may become available in the next few months,  the Temple rebuilding project still seems unrealistic in the current environment. The fears of the Israeli government leaders of sparking all out war, combined with the lack of interest and even outright opposition from many Israelis to the project, makes it seem completely impossible.

However, the events of October 7 show how quickly long-held views can change. Prior to this heinous terror attack, the majority of Israelis were seeking to get on with their lives in some kind of peaceful co-existence with Hamas being contained by Israel’s state of the art border fence. The dismal failure of this high-tech fence to stop the October 7 attack has smashed this long-held Israeli view, changing the perspective of the nation overnight into a determined decision to eradicate Hamas from its borders. Similarly, I believe that long held Israeli reservations towards the Third Temple will one day change.

What does the Bible say?

‘…not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord’ (Zec 4:6)

Rebuilding the Temple seemed completely impossible for the impoverished Jews returning from Babylonian captivity in the days of Nehemiah. Into this context of mounting opposition from surrounding nations and countless delays, Zechariah the prophet spoke the above words of encouragement proclaiming that God Himself would make a way by His Spirit.

Through the prophecies of Zechariah and Haggai, God’s Spirit indeed strengthened the hands of the builders, paved the way politically and enabled the miraculous construction of the Second Temple which stood when Jesus came to earth. Couldn’t God do the same again in our day?

I believe that both Old and New Testament Bible prophecy is clear that the Temple will be rebuilt in the End times. In his famous Olivet discourse, Jesus predicted “when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place …. then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…For then there will be great tribulation” (Matt 24:15-21).

While some Bible prophecy teachers interpret these words of Jesus in symbolic sense, Jesus’ Jewish listeners would have understood His words quite literally. They would have seen His words as referring back to an almost identical event that occurred around 170 B.C. where a literal idol was erected in the Temple leading to widespread persecution. Jesus’ prophecy was therefore seen as predicting a literal repeat of these events to occur in a real physical Temple in Jerusalem at the End of Days.

Being Ready

The Temple Institute speak of the shame they would feel if they were given the go-ahead to build the Temple tomorrow and were caught completely unprepared. They have therefore spent many years in meticulous preparation and training for that day to come, and the ashes of the red heifer will mark the crowning achievement of this preparation.

While many Israelis are unaware of these developments, so too is much of the Church. Just as He promised, Jesus is soon returning to this earth to rule and these developments point us to the nearness of His coming. Following the example of the Temple Institute, we too should be preparing ourselves for the soon fulfilment of prophecy, doing everything in our power to be ready for that great day.

Let us also remember to pray not only for the fulfilment of Bible prophecy and the coming of the Messianic kingdom, but also for the eternal destinies of Jews and Arabs caught up in the current and future waves of conflict. Days of great tension lie ahead, but God’s purpose in the midst of these shakings is to bring many people into His Kingdom. May we all play our part at this significant time in history.
