Feast celebrants bring gold for the Temple

A delegation from West Papua participating in the International Christian Zionist Center (ICZC) Feast of Tabernacles celebration last week surprised the Temple Institute in Jerusalem when they arrived with a gift of gold for the eventual rebuilding of Israel's temple to the Almighty.

On the last day of the Sukkot holiday, the Papuan group showed up at the Temple Institute and presented officials there with two pounds of gold mined in their Southeast Asian country, as well as a large cash gift, reported Israel National News.

Leaders of the delegation explained that they were doing their part to fulfill Zechariah 6:16, which states that foreigners will come from afar to help rebuild the holy temple in Jerusalem.

The Temple Institute has for years been collecting funds for the eventual rebuilding of the temple, and has already completed a large number of the gold and silver elements, instruments and priestly clothing that will be needed. The Papuans asked that the gold they provided be used for preparing such elements.

Commentary by Irene Conley:

Make no mistake, The Temple will be built, according to the Word of God. The Jews will not start their sacrifices until the Temple is built. And it is prophesied that they will start them, and the Beast will stop them.

"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.  And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.  And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people."  Daniel 11:21 - 23

There is much more information, in those scriptures than, you can imagine. The BEAST, which we already know, will be a vile person. Israel will know this also. Contrary to what many believe, Israel will not accept the BEAST as the Messiah. They won’t be fooled for one minute. Notice, they don’t even give him the honor of the Kingdom.  What Kingdom? The One World Government.  He will be a great Flatterer. Full of guile and deception.  He will make a Deal, with someone. The prince of the covenant. I would say that this prince of the Covenant, would be a Jewish High Priest. Part of the Deal is that the Jews be allowed to start the sacrifices. (We’ll get to the rest of the Deal in another article.)

Then as soon as the BEAST, makes the Deal, then , “ “he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.” That isn’t talking about the little people, or people small in stature. It is a small group.

And now, I want you to read another News article.

Secular rabbis to be ordained in Jerusalem In an unprecedented event in Israel, seven secular Jews who view Judaism as a culture, as opposed to a religion, will be ordained as rabbis Friday in Jerusalem.

The ceremony, which will be held at the Israel Museum, comes after the ordainees completed three years of study at the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism in Jerusalem. Twenty five additional students are currently studying at the program.

The organization, which promotes "secular humanistic Judaism," is closest to the Reconstructionist Judaism movement in the United States, said Oren Yehi-Shalom, 35, who will be ordained at the ceremony. Yehi-Shalom said that the participants do not pray to God, but believe in man's humanity.

The group's Web site lists the belief in God "as a literary character," citing the Dutch philosopher Spinoza, who is recognized as the founder of modern Biblical criticism.

Yehi-Shalom, who was born to a secular family in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikva, said he was approached by the organization while working in the field of education and completing his masters at Bar-Ilan University.

Those who will be ordained on Friday will work in the field of education, and will officiate at religious ceremonies that will not necessarily include God in them. The group has carried out dozens of such marriage and bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies in Israel, where no Jewish certification is needed to take part, and only a declaration of desire to undergo such a ceremony is needed.

The ceremonies would carry no legal standing in Israel though, and would be symbolic at most, since even Conservative and Reform marriages - not to mention marriages by the more left-leaning Reconstructionist Movement - are not recognized by the rabbinate.

Still, the ordination of the secular rabbis is bound to attract the ire of the Orthodox establishment in Israel, which has a virtual monopoly over religious issues such as marriages, divorces, and burials.

I think I see the “small people”-----small group, that in CONSPIRACY with THE BEAST, will seat the BEAST in Jerusalem.

As a Trojan Horse, they will let the BEAST take over, when he surrounds Jerusalem with an Army, and takes over the Temple.

For the ships of Chittim shall come against him:  therefore he shall be grieved, and return and have indignation against the holy covenant:  so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:  but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.  Daniel 11:30-32

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.  For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.  Luke 21:20 - 22

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Matthew 24:15 - 16

The Holy Place----The Temple

That is the beginning of the Great Tribulation

After he gains the Temple, where he has placed the Abomination of Desolation, then he proceeds to claim himself as god. Not the God of heaven. Not the Messiah. But higher than God.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.  2 Thessalonians 2:1 - 4

Do you see, that he is sitting in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. That point is, the Temple has to be built, before the BEAST can sit there.

Also we see, the Temple in another place.

"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." Revelation 11:1 - 2

For a Temple to be measured, it has to be built.
