Just when you find someone who hasn't lost his mind he gets eliminated from actually being a benefit to this lost culture. Since they can't argue with his facts they have to, of course, lie about what he's said. Stay far away from the status quo psycho agencies these days! Easy today to ruin such people so we have to pray for those who fight the good fight. Child Psychology Prof Who Was Effectively Fired for Opposing Transgenderism Fights Back Last Thursday, Dr. Allan M. Josephson sued leaders at the University of Louisville, alleging that the university demoted and effectively fired him for opposing transgender "treatment" for children. Josephson claims the university punished him for his speech at the Heritage Foundation. "Universities are supposed to be a marketplace of ideas, but the University of Louisville is turning itself into an assembly line of one thought," Travis Barham, a senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the law firm representing the professor, said in a statement. "Dr. Josephson has had a long and distinguished career at the University of Louisville, leading and rebuilding its child psychiatry program. Public universities have no business demoting or firing professors simply because they hold a different view than their colleagues or the administration, but that’s exactly what’s happened here." Dr. Josephson became a medical doctor in 1976 and a board-certified psychiatrist in 1982. He is licensed in Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, and South Carolina, and he has authored, co-authored, or edited at least 42 articles in scholarly journals. He became chief of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Louisville in 2003. In recent years, however, Dr. Josephson has testified against the trend of treating children with gender dysphoria (the persistent condition of identifying with the gender opposite one's birth sex) with treatments affirming a transgender identity. Drugs that block puberty or cross-sex hormones can endanger a child's long-term psychological health, he argued. In his 2016 testimony in the case Carcano v. McCrory, he argued that biological sex is immutable and based on objective binary genetic facts, while gender identity involves a basic sense of oneself as male or female — a social construct. Since "children are not equipped psychologically to make many important life decisions," pro-transgender parents "abdicate their responsibilities if they allow children to 'decide for themselves' regarding key life decisions." Since transgender identity and medical attempts to affirm it often involve "permanent social, medical, psychiatric, and other consequences that cannot be fully appreciated until adulthood," and since roughly 65 to 95 percent of youth who experience gender dysphoria will desist by late adolescence, children experiencing gender dysphoria "should receive individual therapy to understand the factors that fuel their desire to become a member of the opposite sex and attempt to resolve any conflicts." Dr. Josephson argued that children should receive "empathic guidance in aligning their feelings with their biological sex, which may take some time, rather than exclusively and quickly being affirmed in the belief that they were born in the 'wrong body.'" While "youth experiencing gender dysphoria must always be affirmed as a person," this "does not mean that parents or medical professionals should affirm their desire to become a member of the opposite sex before the issues are explored." The psychologist repeated similar arguments in 2017 at the Heritage Foundation. He argued that the new "transgender-affirming" treatment of gender dysphoria "neglects the developmental needs of children and relies on ideas that are just not true," such as "the notion that gender identity should trump chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, and secondary sex characteristics," which is "counter to medical science." "Children persistently, insistently, and consistently demand many things that are not good for them," he added, affirming the experiences of parents everywhere. "A parent's role is to resist these demands when parental wisdom trumps children's limited life experience." "When someone complains of pain, medical professionals generally seek to understand what causes the pain," Dr. Josephson argued. "When that inquiry is not allowed in the gender dysphoria context, the well-being of children is short-circuited, preventing us from diagnosing pain accurately, and an opportunity for developmental progress is missed." After his Heritage Foundation testimony, staff at the University of Louisville LGBT Center complained to his colleagues. Dr. Josephson's colleagues wrongly considered his positions as "hostile" to the treatment of gender dysphoric patients, the lawsuit explains. Dr. Christine Brady, an assistant professor in his division, "claimed that Dr. Josephson's belief that many individuals experiencing gender dysphoria have manifest psychopathology was evidence of his discrimination against those individuals." In a compelling line, the lawsuit states, "To her, to diagnose is to discriminate." Brian Buford, then-executive director at the LGBT Center, refused to give Dr. Josephson a rainbow sticker because he objected to Josephson's views expressed at the Heritage Foundation. "Dr. Josephson has recently given speeches and taken part in other activities in which he refutes the existence of transgender identity," he said, mischaracterizing Dr. Josephson's position. Charles Woods, former chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the university, told Dr. Josephson that "all your faculty are against you," despite the fact that only five of the twelve members expressed disagreement with his Heritage Foundation remarks. The university demoted Dr. Josephson in November 2017, a few weeks after his Heritage Foundation remarks. In February 2019, the university announced it would not renew his contract, effectively firing him. The lawsuit claims these actions violated the professor's First Amendment right to free speech, constituted viewpoint discrimination, imposed an unconstitutional condition for his employment, and violated his rights to due process and equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. The lawsuit does not seek a specific dollar amount, but rather asks for a declaratory judgment against the university's actions, an injunction forcing the school to renew Dr. Josephson's contract and restore him to his leadership position, to purge his personnel file of any record of the demotion and the non-renewal of his contract. The lawsuit also asks for reasonable attorney's fees. "Universities should welcome differing viewpoints and encourage civil discourse in their academic communities," ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, said in a statement. "Speaking with conservative groups—or holding conservative views—should not be disqualifying for academic service. Unfortunately, the University of Louisville’s attempts to silence Dr. Josephson shut down debate and do a disservice to students and faculty alike." Yet efforts to silence dissent on transgender identity are not unique to the University of Louisville. Feminists have been banned by Twitter and kicked out of bars for standing for biology. British police called a 74-year-old woman because she tweeted in favor of biology, asking her to withdraw her statements. In a bone-chilling example, a transgender activist tweeted that he wanted to drink the "bone broth" of people who disagree with transgender identity. He was not banned from Twitter. Americans should be free to express themselves, even if their opinions are unpopular. When it comes to transgender identity, skepticism based in good genetic and medical science should not be silenced. Many former transgender people have expressed deep and painful regret over their rush to hormones and surgery. Such "treatments" left these people scarred. When parents and doctors encourage children to undergo permanent alterations to satisfy a transgender identity without seeking underlying psychological reasons, they do the children a disservice and prop up a false view of biological sex. Dr. Josephson spoke out against this horror, and he was penalized for it. https://pjmedia.com/trending/child-...ired-for-opposing-transgenderism-fights-back/
I have a problem with the objection to the Wailing Wall; we have many pilgrimage sites that help us express our sorrows and acknowledge God's continual presence in our grief. Like the Hill of Crosses... I also have a problem with one gentleman's claim that he is glad that he is not a Jew. There is a huge difference between a faithful, practicing Jew and the Zionists. What I found interesting was the synagogue that was built under the Dome of the Rock. Hmmmm.
There is a huge difference between a faithful practicing Jew and a Zionist. Bloodlines. The Zionist can only ever hope to live faithfully under the Noahide law and serve the Jew by doing his part in bringing about the Jewish world to come in his own land. https://israelpalestinenews.org/haa...-world-religion-whose-believers-adore-israel/ The Noahide Project has the support of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate and the Israeli government. Noahides are members of a new religion founded by rabbis from Israel, mainly from Chabad and the religious Zionist movement – a form of Zionist mission that seeks to create a world religion whose believers adore the Jewish people and the State of Israel… the first Noahide gathering took place in Texas in 1990 and was attended by Rabbi Meir Kahane… By Ofri Ilany , reposted from Ha’aretz: The Messianic Zionist Religion Whose Believers Worship Judaism (But Can’t Practice It) [Subheads and images added] “Our friends all over the world, the Noahides… You are the lucid persons in a perplex world. You are the hope of the world. Happy good day.” Thus, in somewhat broken English, Rabbi Oury Cherki, head of the Noahide World Center, greeted his followers in a video clip on the occasion of “Humanity Day,” the holiday of the Noahides (also known as Children of Noah), which was last celebrated on the 27th day of the Hebrew month of Marheshvan (Nov. 10, 2017). According to Jewish tradition, it was on that day that Noah and his family emerged from the ark and received the seven commandments that apply to all human beings, among them the prohibitions on idol worship, on murder and on eating flesh torn from a living animal. When Noah left the ark, he built an altar and made a sacrifice. Which is why the Noahides eat grilled meat on their holiday. A new religion, subordinate to Judaism But who are these Noahides? They are members of a new religion, subordinate to Judaism, founded by rabbis from Israel, mainly from Chabad and the religious Zionist movement. According to the World Center, there are dozens of Noahide communities across the world, with more than 20,000 believers. That’s a hefty number, given that the religion was only founded at the beginning of the decade. Small Noahide communities exist in various countries, with the largest one in the Philippines. Cooperation between Israel and the Philippines is constantly growing, and this week reached new heights with the visit to Israel of the country’s president, Rodrigo Duterte. The Philippines are a key arena of Chabad activity, and one of the primary venues where the new religion is being disseminated. There are four Chabad centers in the country, and in addition to assisting Jews, they support 10 Noahide houses of prayer. The Hasidic emissaries view the Philippines community as the model for Noahide communities in other countries. A group from the community was brought to Israel two years ago, and its members met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has also sent his greetings to all the communities worldwide. That there are countries in which groups and communities identify themselves as belonging to the Jewish people, or as descendants of the 10 lost tribes of Israel, is nothing new. Similarly, we’re familiar with Christians who admire Israel. But the Noahides are a theological phenomenon of very recent vintage. It’s a form of Zionist mission, which seeks to create a world religion whose believers adore the Jewish people and the State of Israel – without belonging to either. The believers are required to accept the supremacy of Judaism but are not accepted into the Jewish people and are even barred from upholding such commandments as Sabbath observance. Anyone who wishes to be a Noahide is called upon mainly to recognize the Jewish people and its state. Last month, Nova Religio, a journal devoted to emergent and alternative religions, published an article by Rachel Z. Feldman, assistant professor of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall College, in Pennsylvania, titled “The Children of Noah: Has Messianic Zionism Created a New World Religion?” In the summer of 2017, Feldman visited Noahide communities on the Filipino island of Cebu, which are supervised by Chabad rabbis. Like most Noahides around the world, the members of the Cebu community came mostly from Protestant churches, but had abandoned their belief in the New Testament. The Jew has five levels of soul while the Noahide only has three & remains on an animalistic level One of the groups Feldman observed lives in a mountainous, “financially challenged” rural region. In the past its members were cave dwellers who belonged to a Sabbath-observing church called Sacred Name Believers. Their leader is the Noahide preacher Emmanuel Villegas. For years he visited poor communities on various islands and converted them to the Children of Noah. He called on them to renounce Christianity and to burn their holy books – though not before cutting out the Tetragrammaton (God’s Hebrew name) from the texts. About 20 years ago, the community’s members moved to the village of Lamac, where they built a house of worship marked with a large Israeli flag at the entrance. In accordance with the directives of Chabad rabbis, they no longer observe Shabbat, as this precept is reserved for the members of the Jewish faith alone and is denied to Noahides. They are permitted to greet each other with the words, “Happy seventh day,” but not to utter the word “Shabbat.” Instead of the Kabbalat Shabbat ceremony used by Jews to welcome the Sabbath, the Chabad rabbis invented a ritual for them in which they light seven candles (to denote the Seven Noahide Laws). Continued...
Feldman quotes one members of the community, who explained to her, “You are very lucky because you are white, and white people are rulers of the earth. But you are also a Jew. You are very gifted because you have blood from the Chosen people, from Abraham and Isaac.” In his sermons, Villegas explains why his community is forbidden to uphold Jewish commandments, and dwells on the essence of the difference between Noahides and Jews. Jews, he says, possess an inner sanctity that draws them close to a divine level: “The Jew has five levels of soul while the Noahide only has three levels and remains on an animalistic level, and this is written in the Kabbalah.” Noahides are incapable of reaching the level of the Jews, but they can learn how to improve themselves by way of the seven commandments. The questions-and-answers site asknoah.org also instructs the Children of Noah on how to cope with animal cravings. In the meantime, Chabad is making efforts to spread the word among non-Jews in Israel, too – a project that was introduced by the late Rabbi Boaz Kali, from Haifa. Ethnic hierarchy The Noahide religion constitutes a new form of colonial relations and racial ideology in which the rabbis are shaping a new faith for the inhabitants of the “global south” as an instrument to advance religious and nationalist goals. Liberal Jewish philosophers of the modern era, such as the German-Jewish thinker Hermann Cohen, viewed the Seven Laws of Noah as the universal basis of the Bible, which prove that Judaism contains a general moral outlook that transcends the question of the fate of the Jewish people. But the interpretation of Rabbi Cherki and the Chabad rabbis uses the Noahide precepts to lay down an ethnic hierarchy between Jews and gentiles. Feldman notes that the Noahide religion constitutes a new form of colonial relations and racial ideology in which the rabbis are shaping a new faith for the inhabitants of the “global south” as an instrument to advance religious and nationalist goals. Feldman points out that the first Noahide gathering, which took place in Texas in 1990, was attended by Rabbi Meir Kahane [founder of the violent Jewish Defense League (JDL)]. After Kahane’s assassination, that same year, the Temple Institute, which advocates the building of the Third Temple on Jerusalem, on the site of the first two, started to promote the Noahide project. In the view of the institute’s rabbis, the gentiles’ upholding of the Seven Laws is an important stage in the messianic process at the height of which the temple will be built and Israel will become a theocracy that will gain the gentiles’ support. Israel’s Chief Rabbinate and Israeli government This is the world order being promoted by the Noahide Project, which has the support of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate and of the Israeli government. The Noahide theological project is closely related to Netanyahu’s foreign policy approach, which is based on religious support for Israel. As he worded the theological message he offered on Humanity Day in 2015, “The Seven Mitzvot of the Children of Noah are matters of both faith and morality, which according to our sages obligate all of the non-Jewish peoples of the world. These commandments serve as a basis for establishing a civilized society.” The final goal of Rabbi Cherki and the Noahide World Center, we are told, is a modest one: seven billion believers.
DD, Interesting but a little confusing, here and in other places it is stated that TruNews (and Rick Wiles the founder) loves and/or supports Donald Trump. Donald Trump Jr. Slams Mueller Probe on TruNews, a Network That Reports on 'Countdown to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ' By Jessica Kwong On 3/29/19 at 4:29 PM EDT While President Donald Trump took the stage at a Thursday night campaign rally in Michigan, first son Donald Trump Jr. granted an interview to a network whose mission statement is "Reporting on the countdown to the second coming of Jesus Christ." Speaking in person with a correspondent of TruNews, which calls itself "the world’s leading news source that reports, analyzes, and comments on global events and trends with a conservative, orthodox Christian worldview," Trump took issue with how most mainstream media outlets have covered his father's presidency, and the recently concluded special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Even though Attorney General William Barr told Congress that the probe, led by special counsel Robert Mueller, found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the first son told TruNews it "should never happen again." "It’s the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," Trump Jr. said, adding that 93 percent of the mainstream media perpetuated it. "The media has done irreparable damage to themselves and their reputation." TruNews correspondent Kerry Kinsey shared the network's adoration for Trump: "Will you tell your dad that TruNews loves your dad and we always give him a fair shake?" “I’ll do that,” Donald Jr. responded. “Thank you so much.” Trump Jr. also talked up his father during the TruNews interview, painting a picture of the president as a businessman who gave up "a billionaire lifestyle to do this for the American people." He also belittled the "swamp creatures" in the running for the Democratic nomination in 2020. TruNews casts itself as an evangelical network, but its reporting and programming suggests it is really a more extreme form of the far-right conspiracy theory network InfoWars. TruNews reports on unfounded conspiracies, such as the notion that Jews or Nazis who are gay or lesbian will bring forth the end of the world. Evangelical activist and right-wing conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles, who runs TruNews, has voiced his support for Trump since the 2016 campaign, and has advocated for the president's critics to be "rounded up" and sent to prison. Wiles also said that former President Barack Obama was “a devil from hell” and that he was “spiritually sodomiz[ing]” the United States, Right-Wing Watch reported. TruNews regularly gets press credentials to cover Trump's campaign rallies as well as his trips abroad. In a statement to Newsweek, a spokesman for Trump Jr. said that the interview was not planned and the president's son was unaware of the outlet. "This was not a pre-planned interview and Don had never heard of TruNews or had any awareness of their views until this very moment," he said. "Don was scheduled for an interview with Hannity on Fox News and while he was waiting in the press area for that interview to begin, various reporters nearby began asking him questions and so he ended up doing interviews with several outlets who were in the vicinity. Unfortunately, he did not have an opportunity to run a full FBI background check on each and every one." Trump Jr. capitalized on the summary released March 24 of Mueller's finding no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russians in the 2016 election to bash Trump opponents and media outlets that criticized the administration during the probe. He has pushed his father's claim that the mainstream media is the "enemy of the people," while praising conservative outlets including Fox News and even more radical networks like TruNews. Update (03/29/19, 5:50 p.m.): This story has been updated to include a statement from a spokesman for Donald Trump Jr.
Yeah I know. I didn't mean it as an endorsement, it was one of the only things I have seen that has actually reported on the synagogue built under the Muslim temple mount area. TruNews it seems is an evangelical news site that believes that the third temple must be rebuilt by the Jews and the Jewish messiah for the rapture to happen and whisk them all away. So they are big on Trump because he is helping to accomplish this and they support the Israeli government and it's plans. It is a useful site IMO because it watches what is happening in Israel closely as it relates to American politics and their belief in the end times. The interesting thing in that to me is that in my experience as an evangelical many years ago evangelicals for the most part hate the Catholic Church and are pretty open about it. The Jewish faith in spite of posing now and then with various Popes does as well. They couch it in evangelicalism but when one digs into what they believe their rabbi's see Catholics as the worst form of idolaters in both our belief in the Trinity and our worship of idols in our Churches. They openly endorse all nations instituting Noahide laws which in themselves call for those who are not "righteous gentiles" (AKA willing to renounce Jesus) according to these laws to be killed.

Any one one who proclaims to be Christian and at the same time believes the third temple is still to be built does not know or understand the Christian faith or Christ's teaching on this. This is apostasy. Jesus built the 3rd temple, which is his Catholic Church upon Peter and the apostles and resides literally in this temple today via his Eucharistic presence. Anyone who thinks God is behind another 3rd temple is in heresy! Another third temple would be the home of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
Totally agreed. That said, there are a whole lot of people in America who believe it and believe they are Christians Fatima. In the 80's and 90's there were a ton of books and video's published on it as well as religious stations and shows like the 700 club spouting it. Mike Pompeo is a rapture believer. The Catholic faith and teaching in the US has never been taught let alone accepted by a majority of Americans. I happen to think that they are going to lead us right into the revealing of the Jewish messiah that Saint Bellarmine and so many other Church Fathers warned about.
I read those books in the 70s and 80s. Took some time for me to sort it out and relearn the Catholic teaching on the subject. For quite awhile I was an uncritical supporter of Israel. Now not so much. These predictions of a Jewish messiah are unsettling. Who is this messiah...?? Not Jesus. He has already come--come but He told them at the time "I come in the Name of My Father and you do not accept me. But one will come in his own name and him you will accept...."
This is a snip-it from a message given in the book God Speaks Will You Listen on the Temple. Unfortunately, most Catholics are clueless on this truth, as are Protestants. www.godspeakswillyoulisten.org 11/6/07 Many teach the physical nation of Israel is the fulfillment of my scripture. Many teach the Antichrist will resume the Jewish sacrifice in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem to constitute the abomination of desolation. This is a false teaching, not from God, but from human understanding. My son, in the book of Daniel, the persecution by the Jews under Antiochus can be considered a partial fulfillment of the abomination of desolation. But the complete fulfillment has not yet taken place. At my death, the veil in the temple was rent in two and the old sacrificial covenant was replaced by my new covenant. My sacrifice on the cross was the final sacrifice for my peoples’ sin. I am the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham. I am the seed of Abraham, the son of David, in whom all the nations of the earth are blessed. My nation of Israel is my church, not the modern nation of Israel. My people are now all those who become part of my church through sanctifying grace. The complete fulfillment of the prophecy from Daniel of the abomination of desolation will occur: when the continual sacrifice of the mass is abolished by the False Prophet and the Antichrist. Acceptance of the protestant doctrine of the mass by an antipope will be the fulfillment of the prophecy. The temple of God is my Holy Roman Catholic Church. My faithful remnant will be persecuted worldwide with the mass taking place underground. These conditions will be similar to the early persecutions by the Romans. The Roman persecutions were a foreshadowing of the persecution and time of the Antichrist. Remember all this will be allowed and take place according to the will of my Father in heaven. Scripture must and will be fulfilled.

Mourners with smartphones in their pockets were banned from touching the coffin of 95-year-old Holocaust survivor Yisroel Avrohom Portugal.

One suffered a suspected broken ankle when he was run over by the hearse, and another was hit on the head by a drone. NYPD commissioner James O'Neill said: "There was a drone that came out of the sky and hit a police officer. "The drone apparently ran out of gas and it landed on the officer's head." Mourners in traditional dress who lined the streets in Boro Park surged against crash barriers, climbed lampposts and hung off balconies to get closer to the procession. Whole blocks were shut down, with shops staying shut out of respect. It was announced before the service that anyone with a smartphone should not touch the body or the coffin, reports The Lakewood Scoop. Portugal was leader of the Skulen Hasidic dynasty founded by his father, and was known for denying himself a bed to sleep in or more than one meal a day. He also battled against modern perils such as the internet and reputedly set fire to a television set each year on the eve of Passover. One of the last surviving remnants of the pre-Holocaust generation - a leader that was deeply respected by all. Assembly Member Simcha Eichenstein The rabbi, known as the Skulener Rebbe, was born in 1924 in what is now Moldova and followed his father and grandfather into religious study. The family moved to the Ukraine to escape the Nazis, then returned to Bucharest in Romania - where the Communist regime reportedly jailed the father and son for teaching Torah and helping Jewish children. UN officials helped them flee to the US in 1960. Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom took over as head of the dynasty after his father Eliezer Zusia Portugal's death in 1982. He died aged 95 on Monday surrounded by family at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. The need to transport his body to Brooklyn meant the funeral could not take place the same day, as is the custom. Assembly Member Simcha Eichenstein said: "As a community we mourn the petira of the Skulener Rebbe zatzal, one of the last surviving remnants of the pre-Holocaust generation - a leader that was deeply respected by all. "Rabbi Portugal was a truly inspiring and special individual that we should all aspire to be like." He had five sons who are all rabbis and three daughters who married rabbis.

Fatima, I’m so nervous to post anything on this page. Let the hatred begin. A temple becomes a temple of God when God is in the Temple. What the Jewish and Protestants consider the first and second temple is actually 1 temple. The first temple had God in the arc in it as well as the second temple they built. So yes since they don’t believe in Jesus so they believe that they will build the 3rd temple and then God will come to make it a temple of God. The Protestants Dont believe in the. Catholic church or the Eucharist which is actually the second temple. Jesus body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharist makes every Catholic Church on earth a second temple of God. The third temple will be the kingdom of God On Earth. Which many Catholics don’t believe in the era of peace. I can explain more if you like but not on this page. I will not let people desecrate the Word of God. If you like you can private message me and I will explain.
Why do you think the word of God is being desecrated? The 3rd temple that is being referenced in this thread is the plan by the Jews to build the physical building replacing the temple which God destroyed with the crucifixion of Jesus and to offer up burnt offerings to God for the remittance of the sins of the Jewish nation and the world. This physical building also fits into the interpretation of prophecy by many who believe that this physical act must take place before the rapture and end times events unfold and as a result they are actively working and supporting those who are involved with seeing this take place. There is no need for anticipating any "hatred" over disagreement of opinions. I certainly hope that although we may have disagreements that at least on this board we are all brothers and sisters in Christ who can reason and be guided by the spirit of truth in our differences of opinions.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/zehuts-feiglin-says-he-wants-to-build-third-temple-right-away/ Zehut’s Feiglin says he wants to build Third Temple right away Chairman of far-right party, which is enjoying growing popularity, is a longtime advocate of Jews’ rights on Temple Mount and has called for increased Israeli control over site The head of the far-right quasi-libertarian Zehut party said Wednesday that he wants to rebuild the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem immediately. “I don’t want to build a (Third) Temple in one or two years, I want to build it now,” Moshe Feiglin said at a Maariv/Jerusalem Post conference in Tel Aviv, referring to the site that currently houses the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque and where both Jewish Temples stood in the past. Such a move would be unrealistic in the extreme; suggestions of even small changes to the status quo on the tinderbox holy site, where Jews can currently visit but not pray, have met with vociferous and often violent protests. It also advocates annexing the entire West Bank, encouraging Palestinians to leave the territories, and curtailing the authority of the Supreme Court and the attorney general. Zehut, which wasn’t initially predicted in opinion polls to clear the electoral threshold for entry to the Knesset in the April 9 elections, has surged in popularity in recent weeks and is currently polling at four to seven seats. Feiglin has downplayed his past as an ultra-nationalist activist and insists he is currently focused on civic issues alone. He is running on a pro-cannabis platform, and is also pushing a radical quasi-libertarian policy package with a religious and nationalist twist. Pushed out of the ruling Likud party four years ago for his maverick attitude and extreme positions, Feiglin has taken the campaign by storm, putting cannabis high on the national agenda and forcing the frontrunners to take a stand on the issue. With Feiglin insisting he does not have a preference between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and main rival Benny Gantz as Israel’s next premier, the party could emerge as a kingmaker in a tightly contested race.
I don’t know the future, I just ponder If God would allow a “3rd” Temple to be built in Jerusalem. It seems to me a huge contradiction to what the second temple of God truly is.
