The Third Temple Will Be Built Next Year

Et datus est mihi calamus similis virgae dicens: "Surge et metire templum Dei et altare et adorantes in eo". (Revelation 11:1)

Haaretz reports that on March 16, 2010, construction will begin on the Third Temple, according to the 18th-century Rabbinic authority the Vilna Gaon.

We have already heard of the construction of the Holy Altar.

During the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon, a respected Rabbinical authority, prophesied that the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem, which was built during his day, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice.

When the Hurva was completed for the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.

The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed shortly after its initial construction, when Muslims demanding the return of loans, tore it down.

The synagogue was rebuilt a hundred years later, and it became the most important Jewish house of worship in the Holy Land.

Then it was blown to pieces by Jordanian troops during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence.

In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the landmark, which today stands in the center of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City.

The building is scheduled to be completed and the Hurva Synagogue dedicated for the third time on March 15 of next year.

Now this centuries-old Rabbinical prophecy appears to be coming true, and thus on March 16, 2010, Israel will begin construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

Important questions like why the Third Temple will be built in Jerusalem, and who will build it, are about to find their answers.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved", see Romans 10:13.

The separation of religion and state is about to disappear.

But it is only normal that the religious authority sets the rules for business, justice, and political government worldwide, and in a spirit of freedom, technology, and unity.
