Jews in the town of Mitzpe Yericho are taking practical steps to prepare for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, by preparing descendents of Cohanim (priests) and Levites for service. At the Mitzpe Yericho school, Temple priest hopefuls learn exactly how to conduct the daily Temple service and offer the required sacrifices.
"Today is really a historical event for the Jewish people, organizer Levi Chazan said as another part of the school was completed. It is the beginning of the work for the Third Temple.
The school will include an exact replica of the Temple. The latest addition to the replica was the area in which priests offered wine and water libations. The water offering was traditionally given on the Sukkot holiday, which was celebrated last week.

Interesting . . .
Going across the hall to teach shortly . . . funny thread . . . incredible assertions.
Repentance with a contrite heart. We are told throughout Ezekiel that G-d will forgive us as often as necessary as long as we ask forgiveness and strive to do better. That's why Jesus went around telling people to REPENT!
I'm not completely sure, but I think most of them belong to some form of "United Reformed" Church. I've found, for the most part, they believe that they have discovered something new and unfathomable about Scripture, and they are the insiders with the new, inside information and everyone else is still stuck with the old, error-filled Bible. They are quite smug and arrogant in their self-imposed deception.
The fact that, in order to make their man-created belief system work, they have to discard Scripture, re-define Scripture, ignore Scripture and deny reality. The fact that they have themselves convinced that they have discovered something new and different which completely contradicts Scripture only reinforces their delusions of superiority over those who are still stuck in the dirt-floor revival tents, believing the Scriptures as they were inspired by God and before they were re-invented by whoever started the "United Reform" Church.
Is this a mock form of the muslim religion? They, too, want Israel off the face of the map and deny their existence.
No, just another way Satan has come up with to get people to doubt God, come up with a Bible they like, and go through life totally deceived.
Nothing like writing one's own destiny by ignoring HIS WORD. I'm beginning to see more how 'I never knew you' which is speaking of those claiming to be Christians and 'narrow is the gate' applies. The wide gate is FILLED with deception.
Exactly. More people choose death than choose life, and hell will be full of people who thought they were wiser than God and lived their lives according to that belief.
Do they believe in miracles?
That I don't know.
I addressed that in my post. But I shouldn't be surprised, I guess.
It's not the answer you wanted or expected to get.
The consequences of sin is death. Jesus paid the price (His death for our death) for our sins and in order to obtain salvation we must do our part and RECEIVE it.
As you know, many don’t believe they need a Savior - and God doesn’t force salvation on anyone - ONE MUST believe what Jesus did and RECEIVE what He did and repenting is what we do once we accept Jesus as Savior with a thankful heart.
What Jesus did was supernatural - what makes you think your ‘natural’ repenting can do anything supernatural? What if you forget any of your sins - are your saying you remember ALL your sins from the beginning? What if you sin and come across an unfortunate, untimely accident and you didn’t confess it? YOU have NO Savior - since you don’t believe His Blood washed them away.
We repent BECAUSE of what HE did for us! One can repent all day long but if one doesn’t believe that Jesus washed your sins away - it fruitless. The GREATEST sin is NOT believing that Jesus died for us. How do you repent on that one?
You didn’t address the falsehoods spread by those that left their group. You commented on those that didn’t accept Jesus as G-d. Is that the falsehood that you think constitutes the spirit of antichrist? If so, which former members do you think John is speaking of?
We are responsible for ourselves and our own actions. Jesus told us to repent and keep G-d's commandments. He told us what to DO.
Matthew 3
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 3:
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
God (YHWH) is my Savior, not Jesus. I've already posted about the two differing entities and two differing wills in the Garden of Gethsemane. They are NOT one in the same. That is obvious.
Anyway, the "anyone" in the above paragraph includes everyone, past, present, and future.
And, if those who "left the group" were engaging in the behaviors in the above paragraph, then they were "antichrists", or, to make it easier, "against Christ".
Again. Who do you think John was speaking of that left their group and was spreading falsehoods?
1 John 2
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
WOW! So you don’t believe that Jesus died for your sins. You don’t believe you need a Savior - you can take care of it all on your own. Like you are your own God.
When you repent - can you look at your soul and see if it is cleansed?
How do you know if you didn’t forget one, two or a thousands sins? What if you die unexpectedly - choke on some food, have a heart attack, killed by a car, - and you just finished gossiping about someone - the possibilities are endless - and you didn’t repent - who are you counting on to ‘save you’ - ‘yourself’??
How do you repent from the greatest sin - not believing Jesus died for your sins? Jesus said - believe on Me (the Savior) and the One who sent Me. Why was He sent?
Do you believe in miracles?
People who never knew Christ who left Christianity and engaged in the behaviors spelled out in the previous post.
The word 'flesh' can and is translated elsewhere to indicate the carnal, or carnally minded.
There is nothing to indicate that 'flesh' is anything but, 100 percent flesh and blood, fully human
1 John 4
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (100% fully human, flesh and blood) is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (100% fully human, flesh and blood) is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
antichrist from the Greek
500 antichristos an-tee'-khris-tos from 473 and 5547; an opponent of the Messiah:--antichrist.
1) the adversary of the Messiah
anti from the Greek
473 anti an-tee' a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):--for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.
1) over against, opposite to, before
2) for, instead of, in place of (something)
a) instead of
b) for
c) for that, because
d) wherefore, for this cause
The antichrist is an:
Messiah from the Hebrew
4899 mashiyach maw-shee'-akh from the root of 4886;
anointed; usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint);
specifically, the Messiah:--anointed, Messiah.
1) anointed, anointed one
a) of the Messiah, Messianic prince
b) of the king of Israel
c) of the high priest of Israel
d) of Cyrus
e) of the patriarchs as anointed kings
Now Christ from the Greek
5547 Christos khris-tos' from the root 5548;
anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:--Christ.
Christ = "anointed"
1) Christ was the Messiah, the Son of God
2) anointed
Notice what IS MISSING? In the Greek, there are no other options given.
1 John 2
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
The antichrist and other antichrists were already around when John wrote his epistle.
John makes perfectly clear that MANY antichrists had gone out FROM THEM (early believers) teaching false doctrine regarding Yehoshua. These "antichrists," or usurpers of the true Messiah, were promoting doctrines that presented a Christ that was in place of or instead of the TRUE Messiah. They were teaching a "replacement" Messiah.
John was a Hebrew; therefore, it is probable that the "us" John refers to in 1 John 2:19 is likely His brethren that followed Yehoshua.
1 John 4
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
The "spirit of antichrist" is equated to a "spirit of error". CLEARLY, antichrist represents an error - false teaching - that was (and IS) being spread.
Antichrist = erroneous doctrine. Antichrist primarily represents a set of false teachings, not simply some future possible world religious/political figure, or something inserted under the skin. Those accepting the error promoted by the "spirit of error" or "spirit of antichrist" are unintentional victims of the spirit of antichrist.
So, the "antichrist" was (and is) a doctrine or set of doctrines that oppose the truth concerning The Messiah. This set of doctrines was already being spread in the latter part of the first century as false teachers betrayed the truth and went out promoting teachings that were (and are) in opposition to the TRUE Messiah.
2 John 1
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (100% fully human, flesh and blood). This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
John warns us to beware of those that do not acknowledge that Yehoshua (jesus christ) is 100 percent, human flesh and blood.
It doesn't eliminate the Book of Revelation, though.
You may want to keep practicing.
G-d knows .
How do you repent from the greatest sin - not believing Jesus died for your sins? Jesus said - believe on Me (the Savior) and the One who sent Me. Why was He sent?
I don't have to repent of the greatest sin. The greatest sin is going after a god other than YHWH, a god that their father's didn't know. I think that is why they tried so hard to have 'YHWH' removed from the scriptures, while Baal and other false gods remain named.
Do you believe in miracles?
I surely do.
I think the real redefining came into play when the church changed God’s seasons, times and feasts. Ah, replacement theology at its finest, and all at the hands of the church! lol
Just WOW!! WHO is Jesus to you? Who sent Him?
Jesus was man while on earth. He gave us His Divinity while here. Just like us - we go thru a trial and ask God to take it from us but say, like Mary, ‘not mine, but Thy will be done’. And we are to be like Him while in this flesh suit - like He was and HE showed us how while He was here.
What about when Jesus said - if you know Me, you know My Father who sent Me? Do you discount the NT? Do you discount faith?
I never heard of your type of beliefs before - that’s the reason for my endless questions.
Are you Jewish? Many of them don’t believe in Jesus and are still waiting for their Messiah but they believe in God.
Do you mind if I ask you what your faith is?
The faith G-d gave us back in Genesis, oh wait he didn’t give it a name or label did He? hmmm I wonder why. Maybe because He didn’t want to focus on names but on doing His will. He told us what to do.
