Sheikh Raad Salah, leader of the Northern Wing of the Islamic Movement in Israel, believes Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will try to rebuild the Jewish Temple.
Speaking at a conference organized by website Islam Online in Doha, Qatar, Salah stated his belief that Netanyahu may try to build the Jewish Temple – which the Islamic preacher called “the false temple”....The solution to “the threat against Jerusalem,” according to Salah, is a complete mobilization of the Arab world, including the religious imams, who need to act and “recruit the masses.” He asked Muslim scholars to pronounce edicts that will force “the Muslim nation and its leaders to confront their duty towards the problem of Jerusalem and Al Aqsa.”

Worth a bump!!
Waiting & watching patiently!
The word “REBUILD” tells you that Israel is in the right because the original temple existed long before others came along to wrest away what rightfully belongs to Israel!
A chill just ran down my spine! (as opposed to a tingle running up my leg)
It’s proven historically that the Jewish temple existed from the time of Solomon and then afterward (after 70 AD)the Romans built a pagan temple on the spot, then the Christians built a church which the Muslims turned into Al Aqsa Mosque. At least this sheik is somewhere in reality in recognizing that there was a Jewish Temple. There are many who believe Al Aqsa appeared out of thin air. Forget about Bibi wanted to rebuild the Temple-—he’s got enough on his plate.

Islamics have always destroyed or converted religious temples where ever they have conquered, replacing them with Islamic ones. Why they call the Dome of the Rock their third most holy site is mere propaganda. Jerusalem isn’t even mentioned in the Koran. The idea that Mohammed ascended to heaven from Jerusalem was dreampt up (literally)by Yassir Arafat’s uncle (the one who worked with Hitler). They have no legitimate claim to Jerusalem or the temple mount, but their philosophy is anything once conquered is muslim land. And anything not muslim land is muslim land yet to be conquered.
The neopagan Roman emperor, Julian, began to build the third Temple in about 370. Work stopped either because of an earthquake on the site or, if you believe some contemporary accounts, balls of fire shooting from the foundation forced the work to stop.
Right out of Hal Lindsey’s book “The Late Great Planet Earth”.
Since Obama was elected things seem to be moving way too fast not to see that something BIG, has been set in motion.
When I was a young Christian in the 1970’s I got caught up in all of those end-time books lining the bibles book stores shelves. The most notable was Hal Lindseys, The Late Great Planet Earth. Although they were fascinating reading, so much of it seemed like too far fetched to believe it could happen in my life time.
Cashless Society? In the 1970’s the thought of using a debit card almost anyplace, including vending machines and parking lots seems just too far out. Well today I go weeks without paper money or coin. I can probably can go without it all together, if it wasn’t for the coffee kitty at work.
ONE World Leader? This was always a great mystery. How could one man become so popular so fast as to set him self up as God in a short 3 ½ years. Mystery no more. I am not saying Obama is the Antichrist, but his coming from nowhere in such a short time to become a Godhead among his Koolaid drinking followers that spread beyond our borders, is just to strange. It shows you how fast the real Antichrist can enter the World Stage.
World Government? Hard to fathom in the 1970’s. Now, its something even the main stream media is picking up on. And the World Wide Web, not something Hal Lindsey even dreamed of, now makes a World Government an easier thing to accomplish.
Abomination of desolation? The Temple would have to be rebuilt. Hmmmmmmmmmm
I think I can safely say the Worlds time clock is getting much closer to midnight.
Check out Raptureready.com if you want to read up on how close we really are.
Good to see we have some christians on FR with a knowledge of the truth. I like to check out Raptureready.com to get some good insights. Might be worth checking out.
Counting........
If we’re not in the end days, we’re awfully darn close.
yeah, Hal Lindsay really seemed to be onto something back in the day, until he wrote that other book telling us all to invest in silver, which would reach $9000 per ounce during the super-hyper inflation of the 1980’s. I think most people
have forgotten about him.
Actually there were two Tem,ples. The one originally build by Solomon around c. 500 B.C., destroyed, it is said, by the Assyrians. No traces of the original Temple have ever been uncovered/found.
The Second Temple was constructed by Harold Agrippa, a hellinized Jews appointed by Rome to act as the Jewish leader and Rome's representative in that part of the world. This is the Temple mentioned in the story of Christ. It is completed less than 10 years before it was destroyed by Romen troops. c. 70 AD. The famous "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem is said by believers to be the remains the Second Temple; if so, the wall is the only remains of the Second Temple ever found.
Which brings to the point one little question: If, according to Sheikh Raad Salah, Bibi is going to rebuild the temple...where on earth is going to get the money?
Another Temple story of interest....
Reestablished Sanhedrin Convenes to Discuss Temple
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/76624
IsraelNN.com) The recently re-established Sanhedrin - ideally, Judaism’s top legal assembly - of 71 rabbis and scholars also moved to solidify logistical aspects of the body.
The Sanhedrin heard expert testimony on the various opinions as to the exact part of the Temple Mount upon which the Holy Temple stood. The fact that there has never been an archaeological expedition or dig on the Temple Mount, coupled with continuous Muslim efforts to destroy historical evidence of the Holy Temple at the site, have made determining the exact location difficult.
Identifying the spot on which the Temple stood is a matter of controversy among scholars, and has serious ramifications for those wishing to visit the Temple Mount. It is also critical for the renewal of the Passover sacrifice, and ultimately for the building of the third and final Holy Temple. While numerous opinions have been expressed throughout the years, and while several of them were expressed at the Sanhedrin gathering this week, the two main opinions state that the Temple stood either on the spot currently occupied by the gold-topped Dome of the Rock, or just to the north of that spot. An opinion that the Temple stood south of that spot, approximately behind the present-day Western Wall, was also presented - though most scholars basically discount it.
The opinion that it is impossible to determine the site of the Temple without prophecy was also presented.
Currently, observant Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount undergo strict preparations in accordance with halakhah (Jewish law), including - but not limited to - immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath) prior to ascending the Mount. Once on the Mount, they adhere to a specific route, based upon the accepted positions of rabbinical authorities. (A map of the permitted area reflecting the most central and widely-accepted route can be viewed by clicking here).
The opinions were delivered by rabbis, professors and archaeologists, all experts in the matter of the Temple Mount. A final presentation on the matter will be given to the Sanhedrin by a subcommittee now in formation. The subcommittee will thoroughly examine the various opinions, and present its findings to the Sanhedrin, which is then to make a decision on whether the site can be determined.
The founders of the new Sanhedrin stress that they are merely fulfilling a Biblical mitzvah (obligation). “It is a special mitzvah , based on our presence in Israel, to establish a Sanhedrin,” Rabbi Meir HaLevi, one of the 71 members of the new Sanhedrin, has explained. “The Rambam [12th-century Torah scholar Maimonides] describes the process exactly in the Mishnah Torah [his seminal work codifying Jewish Law]. When he wrote it, there was no Sanhedrin, and he therefore outlines the steps necessary to establish one.”
