Thick excitement is building up within the observant Jewish
community as the Temple Institute announced in March the completion of the
Altar of the Lord. The altar which the
Institute fervently believes will be used in actual sacrifices in a re-built
Jewish Temple in the not-too-distant future is essentially “ready for use”
after several years of construction. The Lord Jesus categorically stated that
at the end-times, the Temple would be rebuilt and sacrifices made on the Altar
(Mathew 13:14). He further reinforced
the prophesy of Daniel (Daniel 9:27) that
the antichrist will defile the Altar (presumably), probably by sacrificing a pig
on it, as did by one of his fore-runners, Antiochus Epiphanes (http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-15.htm)
in 2nd Century BC.
But some Jews can’t seem to
wait for Temple to be re-built or the Holy Altar commissioned before
sacrificing their Pesach lambs on Mount Moriah, the ancient Temple site.
On Friday April 3 the Noam Federman and his son were
arrested as they attempted bringing a lamb onto the Temple Mount to sacrifice
as a Passover offering (see Arrested for a Pesach Sacrifice).
It took 46 years building the
Temple of Herod’s time (John 2:21).
Don’t expect anything that long for the rebuilding of the forthcoming
Temple when the time comes. A Chinese
company is currently basking in the euphoria of putting up a 57 storey skyscrapper
in 19 days, from start to finish (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/30/chinese-construction-firm-erects-57-storey-skyscraper-in-19-days)!
