Third Temple Updates 2004 to 2025

The 2025 Update
2025 saw several prophetic portents in regard to the Third Temple. Below are some of those events:

The Red Heifer
Isaiah 2:2 – “In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”

Efforts to see the Tenth Red Heifer qualified continued in 2025
• In July 2025 a red heifer was burned on a pyre of wood precisely as specified in Jewish sources. The heifer was burned at an undisclosed location in Samaria. The burning was only a practice ritual ceremony as the heifer, inspected by the rabbis of the Temple Institute, had enough non-red hairs, disqualifying it from being suitable for an actual official ceremony on the Mount of Olives.
• According to the Temple Institute, the purpose of the exercise was to improve their overall understanding and readiness for the actual event, to reveal any weak points, and to improve the kohen’s skill.
• By September 2025, all of the five red heifers from Texas had been disqualified for Temple purification rites by the Temple Institute Rabbis.
• Just because there is no “qualified” heifer at this time, one must realize that the heifer to be burnt cannot be determined to be totally qualified until just before the ceremony takes place.
• There will be a future ceremony that will take place on the Mount of Olives.

The Temple Mount
• In 2025, the Temple Mount saw 76,448 Jewish visitors,
• That number of Jews ascending upon the mount is about 30% more than in 2024.
• For the Jewish year 5785 (September 2024 – September 2025), the count was 68,429 Jewish visitors.
• It wasn’t just individual Jews that ascended, but also included more than thirty groups such as schools.
• Unfortunately there has been an increase by the State of Israel law enforcement official banning or arresting Jewish people, an infringement of their fundamental religious rights. It is time, many say, for Israel to officially recognize the Temple Mount as the holiest site of the Jewish people.

The Third Temple
• Orlando Nava of Zera Ministry speaks with Israel365’s Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz about Jews coming together with believers in Yeshua for the final redemption and Third Temple.

• A kiddush cup from the same stones that are currently being quarried to build the Temple has been created by Josh Wander, a Third Temple Activist.

• Israel Defense Force troops in the 36th Division mounted flags calling for the construction of the Third Temple on bulldozers and other heavy machinery operating in Gaza.
• Soldiers attaching non-military patches and flags to their uniforms and equipment, particularly those associated with messianic beliefs, has become a widespread phenomenon. Some soldier’s uniforms prominently display both a “Moshiach” patch and another depicting the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple). These displays demonstrate a conviction among many Israeli soldiers that they are fighting a war with prophetic significance.
• The Third Temple imagery on these patches declares adamantly: “this land and this mountain belong to the Jewish people by divine right.”
• Unofficial road signs are appearing, directing people to “The House of the Lord.”
• The Third Temple in Jerusalem has moved from ancient prophecy into modern-day reality.

About the Third Temple
Jerusalem will be the place where the two witnesses will be killed and will also be the home of the third temple in which the antichrist will declare himself to be god. Further conjecture predicts that it will be the antichrist who will actually build the third temple. If Pope Francis I really is the final pope who cooperates with the antichrist, then we should see other signs that the temple is about to be rebuilt.

Location, Location, Location
Many people have tried to locate the actual site upon which the first two temples sere constructed. Robert Reiland claims that there is “a Temple to be built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It will be ‘The Third Temple’ – Messiah’s ‘Headquarters’ for His rule of all the nations of the Earth.” Hal Lindsey and Dr. Asher Kaufman would probably agree with the latter assessment, as both have noted that Revelation 11:1-2 informs us that the rebuilding of the Third Temple is not to include the section of the Temple Mount known as The Court of the Gentiles, upon which the Dome of the Rock currently is believed to sit. Kaufman believes the most likely location is under what is called The Dome of the Spirits. Dr. Leen Ritmeyer believes that the Dome of the Rock overlays the original location of the first two temples. Tuvia Sagiv has performed infrared scans of the Temple Mount, and believes the Temple site lies “due east of the Western Wall, under the clump of trees between the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque.”

The Red Heifer
Daniel 9:27 – “He will make a strong covenant with leaders for seven years. For the final three years he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering.”
The Red Heifer is an essential requirement for the Third Temple. Before the Third Temple can be rebuilt and sacrifices reinstated, a red heifer must be slaughtered to obtain the ashes which are used to make both the priests as well as the Temple Mount ritually clean. Two hundred Kohen priests have been identified through DNA testing and must now be consecrated. Only one requirement is still missing – the red heifer. None of the current priests are ceremonially clean. They cannot be cleansed until the water of separation is recreated. And that requires the ashes of a perfect red heifer.

What The World Wants
Ezekiel 11:19 – “I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.”
Ezekiel 36:26 – “I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”
Revelation Chapter 11 tells us that at that time Jerusalem will spiritually be called Sodom and Egypt, Jerusalem will be the place where the two witnesses will be killed, and Jerusalem will also be the home of the third temple, in which the antichrist will declare himself to be god. Further conjecture predicts that it will be the antichrist who will actually build the third temple. This “temple” that is to be built is Solomon’s Temple rebuilt – it is not David’s tabernacle.

Why The World Wants It
2 Samuel 7:4-7 – “Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house [בַּיִת bayith H1004] of cedar’?”
The Tabernacle, as we saw last week, fully represents Yeshua. It is made of flesh and linen: supple, tender materials, just as Yeshua’s heart is tender. This is the type of building that Yahweh wants – the type of heart that he wants to give to his people. Never did he command his people to build a house of wood or stone.

1 Kings 8:13-20 – Solomon brags: “I have surely built You a lofty house, a place for Your dwelling forever . . . for I have risen in place of my father David and I sit on the throne of Israel . . . I and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.”
The world, its humans, and its god, Lucifer however, are all looking for a temple made of wood and stone, a temple that closely represents who they think Yahweh / Yeshua is: a god whose heart is hard, immovable, harsh! This is their wish because their hearts are also made of stone – they are unwilling to allow Yahweh to give them a heart of flesh.

What The World Will Get
Amos 9:11 – “In that day I will restore David’s fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be.”
Just as the Tabernacle of David was first erected, and then the Temple of Solomon, so also today the world may get first a Tabernacle and then a Temple. Many of the current discussions regarding the Third Temple center around a temporary tent style building being established – a tabernacle of flesh and linen, followed by a rebuilt Solomonic Temple – a temple of wood and stone. Scripture tells us that history repeats itself, so once again, after a tabernacle is built, Yahweh will allow the new Solomon, the Antichrist, to build a temple that mirrors that satanic heart of stone. Jews are calling for this temple to be built. Christians applaud this effort. Even Muslims are in agreement that this third temple should be constructed. And once again, that temple of wood and stone will be allowed to be built, then desecrated and desolated.

The Former Yearly Updates

2024
2024 saw several prophetic portents in regard to the Third Temple. Below are some of those events:

Red Heifer The Reason for the War
Isaiah 2:2 – “In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”
2024 has seen continued efforts to see the Tenth Red Heifer qualified.
• A red heifer suitable for sacrifice is expected to be available by Pesach (Passover) in April of 2025.
• Abu Ubaida, a Hamas Spokesman, stated in a speech that the origins of the conflict, which started on October 7, 2023, is all because of the red heifers. Osama Ali of the Al Bawaba News says “At the core of these beliefs is a specific Jewish Zionist idea involving the burning of five red heifers.”
• CBS News correspondent Chris Livesay in a March interview also implied that Yitzhak Momo, an affiliate of the Temple Institute, and other red heifer proponents were responsible for the October 7 Hamas attack.

Temple Mount Activities
2024 has seen continued efforts to see the Red Heifer certified and sacrificed:
• On March 27th a press conference about the red heifer was held in Shiloh.
• One of the presentations demonstrated how the sacrificial altar might look.
• A red heifer ritual was also practiced in front of Al-Aqsa Mosque in October.

But this year has seen direct opposition to the red heifer program:
• Dozens of religious clergy from around the world denounced the red heifer sacrifice as madness.
• A declaration signed on April 8 by those miscreants claimed it to be an “invitation to regional, or even global war,” which would “transform the Israeli-Palestinian situation from a political conflict into a religious conflict without a terrestrial solution.”
• Apparently there is great fear that the sacrifice of a red heifer will lead to “unrestricted access for Jews worldwide to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque” – not just the silver domed building on the Temple Mount, but to the entire Temple Mount Compound.

2024 has seen continued efforts to see the Temple built upon the Temple Mount.
The prophecies declare that the Jewish exiles would return to Israel and that the Temple would be rebuilt, exactly what seems to be happening right now!
• The efforts to build the Third Temple have increased because of the war in Gaza.
• The Third Temple Organization has architectural plans being drawn up and will build the temple “for the benefit of mankind.”
• Yitzhak Reuven believes that the “construction can be done without bloodshed“, despite the sometimes vicious opposition, and that the “red heifers still have time to grow.”
• In October, a replica of the Ark of the Covenant was displayed in Jerusalem during the Sukkot moed.
• In November Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary Of Defense, again suggested at that the temple could be re-established on the Temple Mount.
• Once again, it is being suggested that Trump will play a role in the construction of the Third Temple. Remember that in 2018 Trump was recognized as the modern King Cyrus and coins were minted depcting that assertion.

2023
2023 saw only a few documented prophetic portents in regard to the Third Temple. Below are those events:

The Priestly Strategies
Exodus 28:4 – “These are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod.”
Exodus 29:6 – “You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.”
The Temple Institute has invested millions of dollars into recreating the utensils, garments, and tools needed for sacrifices, and has recently finished fabrication of the Ephod, Breastplate, and Golden Crown of the High Priest.
• In October, during the intermediate days of Sukkot, the Temple Institute’s Levitical Choir joined dozens of other musical Levites in a festive performance of Psalm 27. The performance took place on the steps leading up to the ancient Hulda Gates on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount. This location is where thousands of worshippers ascended from the City of David to the Temple during the times of King David and Yeshua.

Red Heifer Efforts
Isaiah 2:2 – “In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”
2023 has seen continued efforts to see the Tenth Red Heifer qualified.
• In September 2022, five red heifers were transported from Texas to Israel by Boneh Israel.
• In March 2023, the Temple Institute declared one of the red heifers disqualified for sacrifice.
• On July 17, 2023, another red heifer arrived in Israel at the Ancient Shiloh heritage site in Samaria’s Binyamin region where the biblical Tabernacle once stood. Hundreds of visitors flocked to Shiloh to welcome it.
• Two more heifers were transported to the town, and a center has been opened that is dedicated to researching the phenomenon. The heifers will be kept in a fenced-off area, and visitors will not be able to touch the animals. Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz called the cow’s arrival a “historic moment,” saying “The Ancient Shiloh site is continuing to grow and develop, and the Red Heifer Center will attract more visitors, up to one million a year, from Israel and around the world.” Ganz called it “Good news for the Jewish world, for scientists and researchers, and for everyone.”
• A red heifer suitable for sacrifice is expected to be available by Pesach (Passover) in April of 2024.

Temple Mount Activities
• 50,098 Jews visited the Temple Mount in 2023 according to the Jerusalem-based Beyadenu organization.

2022
2022 saw many prophetic portents just in regard to the Third Temple. Below are some of those events:

The Priestly Strategies
Exodus 28:4 – “These are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod.”
Exodus 29:6 – “You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.”
The Temple Institute has invested millions of dollars into recreating the utensils, garments, and tools needed for sacrifices, and has recently finished fabrication of the Ephod, Breastplate, and Golden Crown of the High Priest.
• In April, a Passover sacrifice reenactment took place despite threats of terror.
• In May, the Kohanim recreated the Shavuot service as the first step to reestablishing temple operations. They also for the first time recreated the gifting of the first shearings to the Kohanim.
• In October, a full-dress reenactment of the water libation as it was performed in the Temple was held in Jerusalem with several hundred participants led by Kohanim in priestly garb, accompanied by Levites playing musical instruments.
• The Kohanim are diligently practicing in preparation for the Third Temple to be built and dedicated. Included in their efforts are the water libation ceremony,

Red Heifer Efforts
Isaiah 2:2 – “In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”
2022 has seen continued efforts to see the Tenth Red Heifer approved.
• On Thursday, September 15, 2022, five currently unblemished red heifers arrived in Israel from Texas. A small ceremony was held at the Ben Gurion airport cargo terminal. The heifers were greeted and speeches were made many who had made this historic and prophetic day become a reality. According to Orthodox Rabbis and leaders these heifers, if they remain qualified, could be used to reinstate many of the Temple practices even before the Third Temple is rebuilt.

• Will one of the five new red heifers be THE tenth, or will they, too, become disqualified as time goes on.
• A key element for the Red Heifer Sacrifice, Crimson Worm-Dye, has been developed in preparation for the Third Temple.

Other Efforts
2022 has seen continued efforts to see the Temple built upon the Temple Mount.
• In May while most Israelis were celebrating Independence Day by having family barbecues, a small group gathered in the Old City of Jerusalem and began chipping away at stones, preparing them to be used to build the prophesied Third Temple.
• Also in May, the Temple Institute practiced burning a Red Heifer.
• In September, “Ben Gurion Airport reported that it was “Gearing Up To Bring All 70 Nations Straight From The Airport To Third Temple.”
• Thousands of Jews gathered to reenact the once-in-seven-years mitzvah (commandment) of Hakhel in the Western Wall Plaza, and for a priestly blessing.

2021
2021 saw many prophetic portents just in regard to the Third Temple. Below are some of those events:

Additional Red Heifers
Numbers 19:2 – “Tell the people of Israel to bring you a young red female cow without fault or defect and which has never borne a yoke.”
In July of 2021, Rabbi Kupietzy said, “I really believe that the red heifer was born this year,” He explained that the current Hebrew year is 5781 which, in Hebrew numerology, is תשפא. “That is an acronym for תהיה שנה פרה אדומה (it will be the year of the red heifer).” Kupietzky also explained that the Talmud has a precedent for the red heifer being provided by a non-Jew, so he is working with Boneh Israel (build Israel), a Christian organization. Efforts to locate a red heifer have even taken them to Texas: “The red heifer is not a korban, a sacrifice,” Kupietzky pointed out. “It is performed outside of the Temple and is considered a tekes, a ceremony. Which is why we are especially looking in Texas for the tekes,” he quipped.

The Priestly Strategies
Exodus 28:4 – “These are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod.”
Exodus 29:6 – “You shall put the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.”
The Temple Institute has invested millions of dollars into recreating the utensils, garments, and tools needed for sacrifices, and has recently finished fabrication of the Ephod, Breastplate, and Golden Crown of the High Priest.

On Monday, December 6, 2021 a reenactment of several Temple ceremonies was held in Mitzpe Yericho. The reenactment included a demonstration of the anointing of the High Priest, the lighting of the Temple menorah, and the dedication of a new altar for use on the Temple Mount.
For the purposes of the menorah lighting, special oil has been prepared – olives beaten by hand, not by machine.
A demonstration of the anointing of the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) was also held.
The event included the dedication of a new altar. The altar adheres to the minimum requirements, can be ready at a moment’s notice, can be transported, and can be easily assembled on the Temple Mount.
Also in December the ‘Rabbis of the Temple Mount’ gathered for talks on the Temple Mount under the protection of the Israeli police which they considered a historic moment.

In March 2021 a growing number of Saudis declared Jerusalem to be Israel’s capital, and looked forward to the construction of the Third Temple, stating that there is no importance of the temple mount to Muslims, Saudi Arabian lawyer and journalist Osama Yamani wrote “Jerusalem is not Al-Aqsa, which is not cited in the missions that Allah gave Muhammad and the caliphs. Similarly, Jerusalem is a city, and Al-Aqsa is a mosque.”
In June 2021 Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reportedly told American Jewish leaders that Israel wants more control over the Temple Mount.
In July 2021 The Temple Institute released a three minute video showing what the Third Temple will look like: as one walks through the temple, one can see the Menorah, Altar Of Incense, and Table Of Showbread, The video was released to coincide with the Ninth of Av, 2021.
Beginning in September a record 11,000 Jews ascended to the Temple Mount in the three-month period since the beginning of the Hebrew year on Yom Teruah. This is a 50%-80% increase over previous years.
In December the ‘Rabbis of the Temple Mount’ gathered for talks on the Temple Mount under the protection of the Israeli police which they considered a historic moment.
The special Biblically mandated indigo dye made from the murex snail used in the mitzvah of tztitzit (fringes) that every Jewish man is commanded to wear on a four-cornered garment is now being made by the Ptil Tekhelet company. Thus far, over 270,000 sets of fringes have been made but even that number is not enough to satisfy the needs of the Third Temple requirements to start operations.

2020
2020 saw many prophetic portents just in regard to the Third Temple. Below are some of those events:

Further Red Heifers
Numbers 19:2 – “Tell the people of Israel to bring you a young red female cow without fault or defect and which has never borne a yoke.”
Two new red heifers were born in the early months of 2020 and are currently possible candidates for the Parah Aduma (10th Heifer). In August Rabbi Azaria Ariel inspected the current red heifer candidates and found that one of the two previous candidates has a few hairs which aren’t sufficiently red, but could still qualify according to Jewish Law.

Rabbi Amichai Cohen of Tzfat in the Galilee and his partner, Rabbi Peretz Rivkin are launching Kehuna Academy, an online community and school for learning about the service of the Kohanim in preparation for the Third Temple. The academy will prepare the genetic descendants of Aaron the first High Priest to Temple priests as soon as the Third Temple is operational.

The Temple Efforts
Isaiah 2:2 – “In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”
2020 has seen continued efforts to see the Temple built upon the Temple Mount. The fruit from the pomegranate trees and grapevines planted in 2017 are now fit to be used in the Temple, according to the Sanhedrin.

Dr. Minnes who served in the IDF Intelligence Corps claimed that the “Deal of the Century” Mideast peace plans echo the decrees of Persian King Cyrus, paving the way for the Jews to build the Third Temple.

Israel’s current Defense Minister has said: “We are now in the era of the Third Temple”, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interrupted by a Rabbi at the Kohelet Policy Forum who reminded him of the importance of Building the future Third Temple in Jerusalem.

The Falling Stone
Habakkuk 2:11 –“A stone shall cry out from the wall, and a rafter shall answer it from the woodwork.”
On Monday, July 23rd, 2018 in the Hebrew Year 5778, a massive stone fell out of the Kotel section of the Western Wall onto the Robinson’s Arch used for egalitarian prayers. The stone fell from the ninth level of stones and happened the day after the fast of Tish’a B’Av (9th of Av). One follower of the Kabbalah teachings believes that the event signaled a permanent end to the Jewish exile and the beginning of the supernatural regeneration of the Third Temple.

The Mist
Isaiah 44:22 – “I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”
On September 30th, 2018 in the Hebrew Year 5779, the last day of Sukkot this year, a thick mist began to rise up from out of the ground on the northeastern corner of the Temple Mount, enshrouding the holy site and obscuring the base of the Dome of the Rock. The mist remained for approximately half an hour, remaining close to the ground and confined to the Temple Mount Compound. This happened during the Hoshana Rabbah service which represents the day when redemption is at hand!

The Slithering Snake
Micah 7:17 – “They will come trembling out of their hiding places like snakes slithering on the ground. They will tremble in the presence of Yahweh our God; they will stand in awe of You.”
On October 31, 2018 a Coin Snake was witnessed wriggling out from between the stones of the Western Wall. The snake made its appearance at the same time as a hotly contested mayoral election, whose main debate was about which candidate would allow the Third Temple to be built! The Sanhedrin wrote letters to both candidates demanding they address this issue and build the new Temple. They had already written letters to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin demanding the same thing.

The Zohar teaches that the snake will make a reappearance in the days before Messiah’s appearance at the end of the age and that the fixing [tikkun from כּוּן kûn H3559] of the snake will be accomplished in the Third Temple. Is the rebuilding of the Third Temple a part of the yet unrevealed Trump Peace Plan? Time will tell.

The Stone Altar
Isaiah 9:1 – “The people that walked in darkness have seen a brilliant light; On those who dwelt in a land of gloom Light has dawned.”
The Sanhedrin produced a declaration to the 70 nations that was read in Jerusalem on the last day of the Chanukah holiday in December. The Chanukah ceremony included the consecration of a stone altar formed of easily transported loose stone blocks that has been prepared for use in the Third Temple. Kohenim (Priests) wearing Biblically mandated apparel lead the ceremony and reenacted the Korban Olah Tamid (the daily offering).

2018
2018 saw many prophetic portents just in regard to the Third Temple. Below are five major events:

The Red Heifer
Numbers 19:2 – “Tell the people of Israel to bring you a young red female cow without fault or defect and which has never borne a yoke.”
According to The Temple Institute on the 17th day of Elul, 5778, (August 28th, 2018 on the Gregorian calendar), a red [adom H122 אָדֹם] heifer [parah H6510 פָּרָה] (Parah Aduma) was born in the land of Israel, foreshadowing the rebuilding of the Third Temple and the arrival of their long awaited Mashiach (Messiah). At one week of age, the heifer underwent an extensive examination by rabbinical experts, has been certified by the Rabbis as meeting all of the scriptural requirements, and has not been disqualified as of this writing.

2019
2019 saw many prophetic portents just in regard to the Third Temple. Below are four major events:

More Red Heifers
Numbers 19:2 – “Tell the people of Israel to bring you a young red female cow without fault or defect and which has never borne a yoke.”
As of January 2019, two more female red heifers have been born which might also qualify as the needed Para Aduma. On August 16th a heifer was burned in exactly the manner that will enable the Jewish people to be purified in preparation for the dedication and building of the Third Temple.

The Architectural Plans
Isaiah 2:2 –“In the days to come, the mount of Yahweh’s house shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy and stream unto it.”
In March 2019 Saudi Arabia, Jewish religious leaders, and Donald Trump were negotiating behind the scenes in efforts to encourage the building of the Third Temple. By May 2019, the plans for the Third Temple had been unveiled. The altar has been constructed, and the corner stone cut, prepared and stored off-site. The Temple Institute has invested millions of dollars into recreating the utensils, garments, and tools needed for sacrifices.

The City of David
2 Samuel 5:7 – “David captured the stronghold of Zion, also known now as the City of David.”
By April 2019 new discoveries in the City of David, just south of the Temple Mount, gave hope that the Temple might actually be built at one of those locations, rather than atop the Mount itself, according Rabbi Moskoff. In November new fears were stoked by renewed calls for the construction of a third Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Jewish Prayer on the Temple Mount
Isaiah 56:7 – “I will bring them to my sacred mountain and let them rejoice in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; and my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
In 2015 Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount was legally mandated by the courts but the police were permitted to enforce the law based on security considerations, which severely limited how or even if Jews could pray on the Mount. Continued increases in the number of visiting Jews is beginning to change this, however. At first, communal prayer was forbidden, but then a special Rabbinic dispensation allowed Jews on the Temple to pray while walking.

In December 2019, a quorum of ten Jewish men, called a minyan, led by Rabbi Eliyahu Weber stood and prayed on the Temple Mount. The men stopped for between five and 10 minutes to recite the cantor’s repetition of the central Amidah prayer, including the components for congregational participation. A member of the priestly line, a Kohen, gave the blessing to the worshipers. The prayers were recited in full view of the police officers escorting the group around the Temple Mount, and they afforded the worshipers the time they needed to complete their prayers. It appears that tacit consent by police officers now allows the Jewish worshipers to be able to openly pray on the Temple Mount.

Rabbi Weber says simply “The final goal, however, is to rebuild the Temple. The ultimate goal is to be able to offer sacrifices in the Temple.”

2013
Pope Francis I has made several overtures to both Israelis and Arab people, saying “it is important to intensify dialogue among the various religions, and I am thinking particularly of dialogue with Islam.” Pope Francis has also extended his wishes to Rome’s chief Rabbi and Jews worldwide in a gesture aimed at strengthening relations between Judaism and Catholicism.

Israel National News reports that: “Jewish groups held a mock Passover sacrifice on Thursday opposite the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The ritual slaughter was not merely a historic reenactment, but, they say, practice in advance of the reconstruction of the Temple.” The sacrifice included building both an altar and cooking pit, the slaughter of a goat, and Leviim singing while dressed in priestly clothing.

A historic agreement has been signed in Amman between Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. The agreement entrusts King Abdullah II with the defense of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, confirming a verbal agreement made in 1924 which gave the Jordanian King custodianship over the city’s holy sites. One of its other aims is to engage Amman in future peace talks between Israel and its enemies. The meeting was attended by the Religious Affairs Ministers of both Jordan and the Palestinian Authority.

Another historic move has been chronicled by numerous sources. Hassidic writer and publisher Mordechai Housma wrote: “If a significant Muslim leader would declare that Solomon’s Temple should be rebuilt, then if the Muslim community would follow, it is likely the Jewish people would jump at the opportunity and be able to overcome whatever ceremonial obstacles also lie in the path.” Reality is stranger than fiction.

In just such a move, a prominent Muslim TV producer in Turkey, Sinem Tezyapar, has called for the rebuilding of the “Prophet Solomon’s” Temple. She says this should not be a problem, as “There is a broad expanse of land around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The land there is quite convenient in that respect, and the Temple can be placed just a little way from Qubbat As-Sakhrah, and a little ahead of Masjid el-Aqsa.” She further states: “Prophet Solomon’s Temple being rebuilt in all its magnificence and glory would be a great delight for me, as it would be to any Muslim,” and that this move should engender love, trust, and brotherhood between Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

2004
In October 2004 the Sanhedrin was reestablished for the first time in 1,600 years during a ceremony in Tiberius on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. According to Wikipedia, the Temple Institute and the Temple Mount & Eretz Yisrael Faithful Movement have both made progress towards rebuilding the third Temple on the Temple Mount. In fact, the Sanhedrin is making plans for the rebuilt third Temple, and the Temple Institute has already made several items to be used in that rebuilt Temple.

Conclusions
The state of Israel is a fact and Jewish authorities are preparing to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem will be the place where the Temple will be rebuilt. If Pope Francis I is the final pope who cooperates with the antichrist, then signs that the temple is about to be rebuilt should become more and more obvious. The reconvening of the Sanhedrin, the mock sacrifices, the, agreement between the PA and King Abdullah II, and the utterly surprising call for a new Prophet Solomon’s Temple by Sinem Tezyapar all point to the nearness of that event.

The original Tabernacle of flesh and linen is reported to still be in existence, never having been destroyed, but given proper storage in order to preserve it for future generations. Amos 9:11 hints that this may indeed come to pass. The Temple of wood and stone, however, built by those who are a type of false messiah (Solomon, Herod, the Antichrist) will also once again be allowed to be built, then desecrated and desolated.

All of the gold and silver utensils and the garments needed for Temple worship have either been recovered or remanufactured. The Kohanim have been trained and the necessary altar site has been identified. Only the recovery of the Ark of the Covenant and the lack of a qualified red heifer prevents the Third Temple from being built and cleansed.

If, . . . . and I say, if . . . . . one of these red heifers turns out to be THE tenth Parah Aduma, then the building of the Third Temple may be close at hand, even at the door. However, this will not usher in the arrival of the Jew’s long awaited Mashiach (Messiah). Instead, it will usher in an unprecedented time of agony, bloodshed, disaster, pandemics, wars, and death the likes of which this world has never seen. Yeshua says of this time: “For there will be great tribulation worse than there has ever been from the beginning of the world until now, and there will be nothing like it again! “ (Matthew 24:21). The Third Temple will allow the false messiah, the antichrist, to enter into the Holy of Holies and declare himself to be God.

The northern most portion of the Dead Sea has been slowly drying up and with the result that new sinkholes in the area are changing from salt water to fresh water. Many see this as a precursor, or a shadow, pointing to the fulfillment of prophecies in Ezekiel 47:8-9, which tell us that the waters of the Dead Sea will be healed and will swarm with multitudes of fish when Yeshua sets up his kingdom during his millennial reign. Earthquakes, famines, and pestilences world-wide are on the rise. Wars and rumors of wars assault us on a daily basis in the news.

Time is short — Is anyone else awake and seeing the burgeoning signs?

Final Thought for 2026
• The season of the birth pains is here – keep maintaining an attitude of gratitude.
• The prophetic signs continue to unfold in an escalating pattern as foretold by the Hebrew prophets.
• History is moving extremely quickly towards the one world government, financial system, and religion.
• Time is incredibly short – Yeshua Ha’Mashiach is coming soon – so be of great cheer and keep looking up.
• Be sure you are believing The Truth, not The Lie – get busy reaching the lost.
• Be sure Yeshua is your Redeemer, King, and High Priest, and your sins are forgiven.
