The Russian and Syrian governments announced that they are moving on to the next stage in reconstructing the ancient temple of the pagan god Ba’al in Palmyra. If successful, the project will necessarily mark the third incarnation of the Roman Victory Arch of Palmyra which an ancient Jewish source states must fall and be rebuilt three times before the arrival of the Messiah.

On Wednesday, the Syrian Trust for Development, Directorate-General for Antiquities and Museums and the Institute for the History of Material Culture, Russian Academy of Sciences signed an agreement to start the second phase of the project for restoring the Arch of Triumph that stood outside of an ancient pagan Temple in Palmyra, Syria.

“The tripartite joint agreement signed Wednesday founds for the next stage represented in rebuilding the Arch of Triumph after the end of the first stage funded by the Syrian Trust for Development”, the Director General of Antiquities and Museums, Dr. Nazir Awad, said in a statement to SANA reporter.

“which an ancient Jewish source states must fall and be rebuilt three times before the arrival of the Messiah.”

Given that Jesus already arrived, the ancient source (not named, because of course) must have either been wrong, or the arch in question fell three times beforehand.

For what purpose is this temple being rebuilt? To serve as a historical monument, or to actually be a site of pagan worship? (My guess is the former.)

Tourist bucks would be my guess.

The Talmud reference in the article has nothing to do with any arch.

The ‘pagan’ temple this arch is connected with was also a church and then a mosque.

Someone’s being hoodwinked. Please send money….

👍

Putin is more “holy” and “righteous” than St. Paul according to some.

“Because Putin is such a good Christian”

I don’t see Biden willing to help restore any religious landmarks - he’s more likely to be tearing them down.

A landmark for pagans?

It’s not like they’re restoring Notre Dame
