KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.
REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)
ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a(MEASURING) 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.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out,(TO THE WORLD NATIONS) and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(JERUSALEM DIVIDED BUT THE 3RD TEMPLE ALLOWED TO BE REBUILT)
DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
REBUILT 4TH TEMPLE (THE TRUE MESSIAHS TEMPLE)
ZECHARIAH 6:12-13
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
ISAIAH 60:9-10
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
ISAIAH 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
MARK 11:9-10,15-17
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
ISAIAH 51:3-4
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion:(JERUSALEM) he will comfort all her waste places;(FROM NUCLEAR WAR) and he will make her wilderness like Eden,(I BELIEVE THE EZEKIEL 40-48,(4TH) TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT 25 MILES FROM THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT AFTER JESUS RULE FOR THE 1,000 YRS FROM JERUSALEM) and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.(PRAISE TO JESUS IN THE DESERT-COULD BE THE NEW JERUSALEM-4TH TEMPLE BUILT 25 MILES INTO THE DESERT FROM THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT.SINCE EZEKIELS TEMPLE IS WAY TO BIG FOR THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT)
4 Hearken unto me, my people;(ISRAEL) and give ear unto me, O my nation:(ISRAEL) for a law shall proceed from me,(JESUS IN JERUSALEM) and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.(ISRAEL AND THE WORLD)

TEMPLES IN ISRAEL AND ANY TIME NOW THE 3RD WILL BE REBUILT
IN
ISRAEL THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE 3RD TEMPLE,THEY WILL GO BY THE SECOND
TEMPLE MEASUREMENTS I BELIEVE.BUT MY TAKE IS DIFFERENT ON THAT.I BELIEVE
SINCE THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS FOR THE FIRST TEMPLE ARE IN THE BIBLE.THIS
WILL BE THE MEASUREMENTS ,I BELIEVE THE 3RD TEMPLE WILL BE.SO I BELIEVE
THE 1ST TEMPLE MEASUREMENTS WILL ALSO BE THE 3RD TEMPLE MEASUREMENTS BY
THE DOME OF THE SPIRITS ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.NOW WHY WOULD I BELIEVE
THAT.BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE 3RD TEMPLE REBUILT WILL BE POLLUTED BY THE
FUTURE WORLD DICTATOR DURING THE 7 YEAR TREATY OR TRIBULATION
PERIOD.THEN WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH LITERALLY TO RULE FROM HIS
THRONE IN JERUSALEM.I BELIEVE THE 4TH TEMPLE WILL BE REBUILT IN EZEKIEL
40-48.AND SINCE THIS 4TH TEMPLE IS WAY TO BIG FOR THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN
JERUSALEM.I BELIEVE THE 4TH TEMPLE WILL BE MOVED 25 MILES FROM JERUSALEM
TO A NEW SITE ISRAEL WILL CALL JERUSALEM AGAIN WERE ALL THE 12 TRIBES
WILL GET THEIR ALLOTED LAND AROUND THE 4TH TEMPLE LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS
WILL HAPPEN.THEN 1,000 YEARS LATER WHEN THE NEW JERUSALEM OF 1,500 MILES
LONG,HIGH,WIDE.OR A 1,500 MILE CUBE COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN.IT WILL HAVE
SPACE TO HOVER OVER THE 4TH TEMPLE IN THE NEWLY SITUATED JERUSALEM,25
MILES FROM THE CURRENT JERUSALEM.JUST MY TAKE.BUT MAKES PERFECT SENSE
FROM THE BIBLE.
HERES THE ALOTMENT OF THE 12 TRIBES LAND AND THE NEW JERUSALEM OR
THE CHRISTIANS MANSIONS HOVERING OVER THE REBUILT 4TH TEMPLE WERE JESUS
RULES FOREVER IN REVELATION CHAPTER 21-22.

1ST TEMPLE - SOLOMONS TEMPLE
LETS LOOK HOW MANY WORKERS WERE HIRED FOR THE 1ST TEMPLE
1 KINGS 5:4-18
4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my
God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I
will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my
name.
6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out
of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee
will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt
appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill
to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when
Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said,
Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son
over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have
considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all
thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon (MOUNTAINS) unto the
(MEDITERRANEAN) sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats (RAFTS)
unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be
discharged there,(BREAK THE RAFTS OF LOGS APART) and thou shalt receive
them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my
household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
11
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures (125,000 BUSHELS) of
wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures (96 GALLONS) of
pure (OLIVE) oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 And
the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace
between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month
they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the
levy.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
16
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three
thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in
the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the
stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
30,000
LABORORS FROM ALL OVER ISRAEL.EACH MONTH 10,000 WORKERS WOULD WORK
GETTING CEDARS FROM THE WOODS.THE 10,000 WORKERS WOULD WORK FOR A
MONTH,THEN HAVE 2 MONTHS BACK HOME.
70,000 ADDITIONAL LABORERS SOLOMON HIRES.TOTAL 100,000 LABORERS.
80,000 STONECUTTERS IN THE HILL COUNTRY.FOR THE FOUNDATION OF THE TEMPLE.
3,300 FOREMAN TO ORGANIZE THE WORK.
NOW LETS GET TO THE MEASURES OF THE 1ST TEMPLE.
THE TEMPLE BUILDING STARTED IN THE SPRING OF SOLOMONS 4TH YEAR REIGNING.480 YEARS AFTER THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT.
THE 1ST TEMPLE WILL BE 90 FEET LONG,30 FEET WIDE AND 45 FEET HIGH.
1 KINGS 6:1-38
1
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the
children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth
year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif,(SPRING) which is
the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2
And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof
was threescore cubits,(90 FEET LONG) and the breadth thereof twenty
cubits,(30 FEET WIDE) and the height thereof thirty cubits.(45 FEET
HIGH)
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits
(30 FEET LONG) was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the
house; and ten cubits (15 FEET DEEP) was the breadth thereof before the
house.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against
the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the
oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6 The nethermost (LOWER
FLOOR) chamber was five cubits broad,(7 1/2 FEET WIDE)(3 STORIES HIGH)
and the middle (FLOOR) was six cubits broad,(9 FEET WIDE) and the third
(FLOOR) was seven cubits broad:(10 1/2 FEET WIDE) for without in the
wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams
should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7 And the house,
when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was
brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool
of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 The door for
the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up
with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into
the third.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high:(7
1/2 FEET HIGH) and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
12
Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in
my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to
walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto
David thy father:
13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both
the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered
them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with
planks of fir.
16 And he built twenty cubits (30 FOOT INNER ROOM) on
the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of
cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for
the most holy place.
17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.(60 FEET LONG)
18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20
And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length,(30 FEET
LONG) and twenty cubits in breadth,(30 FEET WIDE) and twenty cubits in
the height (30 FEET HIGH) thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold;
and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21 So Solomon overlaid
the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains
of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 And the
whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house:
also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 And within the oracle he made two (STATUES OF GUARDIAN ANGELS) cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.(15 FEET HIGH)
24
And five cubits (7 1/2 FEET LONG) was the one wing of the cherub, and
five cubits (7 1/2 FEET LONG) the other wing of the cherub: from the
uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were
ten cubits.(15 FEET FROM WING TIP TO WING TIP)
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits:(15 FEET HIGH) both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits,(15 FEET HIGH) and so was it of the other cherub.
27
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched
forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched
the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall;
and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved
figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and
without.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings
of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with
gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34
And the two doors were of fir tree:(CYPRESS WOOD) the two leaves of the
one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were
folding.
35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 In the fourth year (OF SOLOMONS REIGN) was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:(OF MAY)
38
And in the eleventh year,(OF SOLOMONS REIGN) in the month
Bul,(NOVEMBER) which is the eighth month, was the house finished
throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of
it. So was he seven years in building it.(IT TOOK 7 YEARS TO COMPLETE
THE 1ST TEMPLE)(AND THE 3RD TEMPLE WILL BE REBUILT IN A 7 YEAR
CONTRACT,DO WE SEE CONNECTIONS HERE.)
SOLOMON DEDICATES THE 1ST TEMPLE
1 KINGS 7:51
51
So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house (TEMPLE)
of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father
had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he
put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
THE ARTICLES IN THE 1ST TEMPLE
1 KINGS 7:13-51
Furnishings for the Temple
13 King Solomon then asked for a man named Huram[g] to come from Tyre.
14
He was half Israelite, since his mother was a widow from the tribe of
Naphtali, and his father had been a craftsman in bronze from Tyre. Huram
was extremely skillful and talented in any work in bronze, and he came
to do all the metal work for King Solomon.
15 Huram cast two bronze pillars, each 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.[h]
16 For the tops of the pillars he cast bronze capitals, each 7 1⁄2 feet[i] tall.
17 Each capital was decorated with seven sets of latticework and interwoven chains.
18 He also encircled the latticework with two rows of pomegranates to decorate the capitals over the pillars.
19 The capitals on the columns inside the entry room were shaped like water lilies, and they were six feet[j] tall.
20
The capitals on the two pillars had 200 pomegranates in two rows around
them, beside the rounded surface next to the latticework.
21 Huram
set the pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one toward the south and
one toward the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one
on the north Boaz.[k]
22 The capitals on the pillars were shaped like water lilies. And so the work on the pillars was finished.
23
Then Huram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim,
called the Sea. It was 7 1⁄2 feet deep and about 45 feet in
circumference.[l]
24 It was encircled just below its rim by two rows
of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot[m] all the
way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.
25 The Sea was
placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen,[n] all facing outward. Three
faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east,
and the Sea rested on them.
26 The walls of the Sea were about three
inches[o] thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a
water lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons[p] of water.
27 Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1⁄2 feet tall.[q]
28 They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.
29
Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions,
oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath
decorations.
30 Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and
bronze axles. There were supporting posts for the bronze basins at the
corners of the carts; these supports were decorated on each side with
carvings of wreaths.
31 The top of each cart had a rounded frame for
the basin. It projected 1 1⁄2 feet[r] above the cart’s top like a round
pedestal, and its opening was 2 1⁄4 feet[s] across; it was decorated on
the outside with carvings of wreaths. The panels of the carts were
square, not round.
32 Under the panels were four wheels that were
connected to axles that had been cast as one unit with the cart. The
wheels were 2 1⁄4 feet in diameter
33 and were similar to chariot wheels. The axles, spokes, rims, and hubs were all cast from molten bronze.
34 There were handles at each of the four corners of the carts, and these, too, were cast as one unit with the cart.
35
Around the top of each cart was a rim nine inches wide.[t] The corner
supports and side panels were cast as one unit with the cart.
36
Carvings of cherubim, lions, and palm trees decorated the panels and
corner supports wherever there was room, and there were wreaths all
around.
37 All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.
38
Huram also made ten smaller bronze basins, one for each cart. Each
basin was six feet across and could hold 220 gallons[u] of water.
39
He set five water carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the
north side. The great bronze basin called the Sea was placed near the
southeast corner of the Temple.
40 He also made the necessary
washbasins, shovels, and bowls.So at last Huram completed everything
King Solomon had assigned him to make for the Temple of the Lord:
41
the two pillars;the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;the
two networks of interwoven chains that decorated the capitals;
42 the
400 pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals (two rows of
pomegranates for each of the chain networks that decorated the capitals
on top of the pillars);
43 the ten water carts holding the ten basins;
44 the Sea and the twelve oxen under it;
45
the ash buckets, the shovels, and the bowls.Huram made all these things
of burnished bronze for the Temple of the Lord, just as King Solomon
had directed.
46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomon did not weigh all these things because there were so many; the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
48 Solomon also made all the furnishings of the Temple of the Lord:the gold altar;the gold table for the Bread of the Presence;
49 the lampstands of solid gold, five on the south and five on the north, in front of the Most Holy Place;
the flower decorations, lamps, and tongs—all of gold;
50 the small bowls, lamp snuffers, bowls, dishes, and incense burners—all of solid gold;
the doors for the entrances to the Most Holy Place and the main room of the Temple, with their fronts overlaid with gold.
51
So King Solomon finished all his work on the Temple of the Lord. Then
he brought all the gifts his father, David, had dedicated—the silver,
the gold, and the various articles—and he stored them in the treasuries
of the Lord’s Temple.
1 KINGS 8:1-66
The Ark Brought to the Temple
1
Solomon then summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the
heads of the tribes—the leaders of the ancestral families of the
Israelites. They were to bring the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant to the
Temple from its location in the City of David, also known as Zion.
2
So all the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the annual
Festival of Shelters, which is held in early autumn in the month of
Ethanim.[a]
3 When all the elders of Israel arrived, the priests picked up the Ark.
4
The priests and Levites brought up the Ark of the Lord along with the
special tent[b] and all the sacred items that had been in it.
5
There, before the Ark, King Solomon and the entire community of Israel
sacrificed so many sheep, goats, and cattle that no one could keep
count!
6 Then the priests carried the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant into
the inner sanctuary of the Temple—the Most Holy Place—and placed it
beneath the wings of the cherubim.
7 The cherubim spread their wings over the Ark, forming a canopy over the Ark and its carrying poles.
8
These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the
Temple’s main room—the Holy Place—but not from the outside. They are
still there to this day.
9 Nothing was in the Ark except the two
stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai,[c] where the
Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel when they left the land
of Egypt.
10 When the priests came out of the Holy Place, a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord.
11 The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple.
12 Then Solomon prayed, “O Lord, you have said that you would live in a thick cloud of darkness.
13 Now I have built a glorious Temple for you, a place where you can live forever![d]”
14 Then the king turned around to the entire community of Israel standing before him and gave this blessing:
15 “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept the promise he made to my father, David. For he told my father,
16
‘From the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have never
chosen a city among any of the tribes of Israel as the place where a
Temple should be built to honor my name. But I have chosen David to be
king over my people Israel.’”
17 Then Solomon said, “My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
18 But the Lord told him, ‘You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good,
19 but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’
20
“And now the Lord has fulfilled the promise he made, for I have become
king in my father’s place, and I now sit on the throne of Israel, just
as the Lord promised. I have built this Temple to honor the name of the
Lord, the God of Israel.
21 And I have prepared a place there for
the Ark, which contains the covenant that the Lord made with our
ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”
22 Then Solomon stood
before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire community of Israel.
He lifted his hands toward heaven,
23 and he prayed,“O Lord, God of
Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven above or on the earth
below. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk
before you in wholehearted devotion.
24 You have kept your promise
to your servant David, my father. You made that promise with your own
mouth, and with your own hands you have fulfilled it today.
25 “And
now, O Lord, God of Israel, carry out the additional promise you made to
your servant David, my father. For you said to him, ‘If your
descendants guard their behavior and faithfully follow me as you have
done, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.’
26 Now, O God of Israel, fulfill this promise to your servant David, my father.
27
“But will God really live on earth? Why, even the highest heavens
cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!
28
Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O Lord my God. Hear the
cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you today.
29 May
you watch over this Temple night and day, this place where you have
said, ‘My name will be there.’ May you always hear the prayers I make
toward this place.
30 May you hear the humble and earnest requests
from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear
us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.
31 “If someone wrongs another person and is required to take an oath of innocence in front of your altar in this Temple,
32
then hear from heaven and judge between your servants—the accuser and
the accused. Punish the guilty as they deserve. Acquit the innocent
because of their innocence.
33 “If your people Israel are defeated by
their enemies because they have sinned against you, and if they turn to
you and acknowledge your name and pray to you here in this Temple,
34 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and return them to this land you gave their ancestors.
35
“If the skies are shut up and there is no rain because your people have
sinned against you, and if they pray toward this Temple and acknowledge
your name and turn from their sins because you have punished them,
36
then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your servants, your
people Israel. Teach them to follow the right path, and send rain on
your land that you have given to your people as their special
possession.
37 “If there is a famine in the land or a plague or crop
disease or attacks of locusts or caterpillars, or if your people’s
enemies are in the land besieging their towns—whatever disaster or
disease there is—
38 and if your people Israel pray about their troubles, raising their hands toward this Temple,
39
then hear from heaven where you live, and forgive. Give your people
what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart.
40 Then they will fear you as long as they live in the land you gave to our ancestors.
41
“In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will
hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name,
42 for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple,
43
then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you.
In this way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you,
just as your own people Israel do. They, too, will know that this
Temple I have built honors your name.
44 “If your people go out where
you send them to fight their enemies, and if they pray to the Lord by
turning toward this city you have chosen and toward this Temple I have
built to honor your name,
45 then hear their prayers from heaven and uphold their cause.
46
“If they sin against you—and who has never sinned?—you might become
angry with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive
to their land far away or near.
47 But in that land of exile, they might turn to you in repentance and pray, ‘We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.’
48
If they turn to you with their whole heart and soul in the land of
their enemies and pray toward the land you gave to their
ancestors—toward this city you have chosen, and toward this Temple I
have built to honor your name—
49 then hear their prayers and their petition from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause.
50
Forgive your people who have sinned against you. Forgive all the
offenses they have committed against you. Make their captors merciful to
them,
51 for they are your people—your special possession—whom you brought out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt.
52
“May your eyes be open to my requests and to the requests of your
people Israel. May you hear and answer them whenever they cry out to
you.
53 For when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, O Sovereign
Lord, you told your servant Moses that you had set Israel apart from
all the nations of the earth to be your own special possession.”
The Dedication of the Temple
54
When Solomon finished making these prayers and petitions to the Lord,
he stood up in front of the altar of the Lord, where he had been
kneeling with his hands raised toward heaven.
55 He stood and in a loud voice blessed the entire congregation of Israel:
56
“Praise the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he
promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises he gave
through his servant Moses.
57 May the Lord our God be with us as he
was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us. 58 May he
give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the
commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.
59
And may these words that I have prayed in the presence of the Lord be
before him constantly, day and night, so that the Lord our God may give
justice to me and to his people Israel, according to each day’s needs.
60 Then people all over the earth will know that the Lord alone is God and there is no other.
61
And may you be completely faithful to the Lord our God. May you always
obey his decrees and commands, just as you are doing today.”
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices to the Lord.
63
Solomon offered to the Lord a peace offering of 22,000 cattle and
120,000 sheep and goats. And so the king and all the people of Israel
dedicated the Temple of the Lord.
64 That same day the king
consecrated the central area of the courtyard in front of the Lord’s
Temple. He offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of
peace offerings there, because the bronze altar in the Lord’s presence
was too small to hold all the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the
fat of the peace offerings.
65 Then Solomon and all Israel celebrated
the Festival of Shelters[e] in the presence of the Lord our God. A
large congregation had gathered from as far away as Lebo-hamath in the
north and the Brook of Egypt in the south. The celebration went on for
fourteen days in all—seven days for the dedication of the altar and
seven days for the Festival of Shelters.[f]
66 After the festival
was over,[g] Solomon sent the people home. They blessed the king and
went to their homes joyful and glad because the Lord had been good to
his servant David and to his people Israel.
1 KINGS 9:1-14
The Lord’s Response to Solomon
1
So Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord, as well as the
royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do.
2 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had done before at Gibeon.
3
The Lord said to him,“I have heard your prayer and your petition. I
have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my
name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is
dear to my heart.
4 “As for you, if you will follow me with integrity
and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands,
decrees, and regulations,
5 then I will establish the throne of your
dynasty over Israel forever. For I made this promise to your father,
David: ‘One of your descendants will always sit on the throne of
Israel.’
6 “But if you or your descendants abandon me and disobey the
commands and decrees I have given you, and if you serve and worship
other gods,
7 then I will uproot Israel from this land that I have
given them. I will reject this Temple that I have made holy to honor my
name. I will make Israel an object of mockery and ridicule among the
nations.
8 And though this Temple is impressive now, all who pass by
will be appalled and will shake their heads in amazement. They will
ask, ‘Why did the Lord do such terrible things to this land and to this
Temple?’
9 “And the answer will be, ‘Because his people abandoned the
Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they
worshiped other gods instead and bowed down to them. That is why the
Lord has brought all these disasters on them.’”
10 It took Solomon twenty years to build the Lord’s Temple and his own royal palace. At the end of that time,
11
he gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to King Hiram of Tyre.
(Hiram had previously provided all the cedar and cypress timber and gold
that Solomon had requested.)
12 But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns Solomon had given him, he was not at all pleased with them.
13
“What kind of towns are these, my brother?” he asked. So Hiram called
that area Cabul (which means “worthless”), as it is still known today.
14 Nevertheless, Hiram paid[a] Solomon 9,000 pounds[b] of gold.

3RD TEMPLE
http://www.templeinstitute.org/future_temple.htm
How do We Understand the Vision of the Future Temple as Described in the Book of Ezekiel?
According
to the great sages of Israel, it is a positive commandment for the
people of Israel to rebuild the Holy Temple conforming to the
dimensions, characteristics and attributes of the Second Temple. Thus,
although there were differences between the First and Second Temples,
and vast differences between both of these and the vision of Ezekiel -
it is the details of the Second Temple that are binding upon Israel for
all time. This is why the majority of the Temple Institute's work and
research, both in artistic representation as well as actual Temple
restoration, centers on the aspects of the Second Temple.These details
and dimensions are clearly described in the Mishneh of Tractate Middot
(literally, "attributes" or "measures") of the Babylonian Talmud. This
tractate also includes the dimensions and layout of the Temple Mount,
and discusses many matters applicable to both the Holy Temple and the
Mount.In his introduction to this tractate, the great sage Maimonides
writes that its purpose is to preserve all the details of the Second
Temple. This, he states, is "because when the time comes to rebuild,
care should be taken to preserve these details and rebuild the Temple in
the exact same manner... because it was built with Divine Inspiration.
Thus the verse states, 'All this, said he, is put in writing by the hand
of the L-rd who instructed me, all the works of this pattern' (II
Chron. 28:19).""The structure of Solomon's temple is explained in the
book of Kings," Maimonides states further. "When the Second Temple was
originally constructed in the time of Ezra, it was built as a
combination of the First Temple built by King Solomon, but including
certain aspects of the things mentioned by Ezekiel, (in chapters 40-43,
which were said with regard to the future Temple), as well. Herod razed
the structure built by Ezra, and rebuilt it completely anew. Our sages
stated: 'Whoever has never seen the building built by Herod, has never
seen a beautiful building in his life'." Moreover, writes Maimonides,
although the Temple that will be built in the future is written in the
book of Ezekiel, it remains unexplained and unclear."
Many
aspects of the Temple described by Ezekiel are difficult to comprehend,
since that vision contains elements of prophetic insight which, in our
generation, we do not have the spiritual or intellectual capacity to
understand. For example, according to the prophecy of Ezekiel, the
structure of the Third Temple will necessitate vast topographical
changes in the environs of the Jerusalem. This Temple will differ
drastically in size from its predecessors. According to Ezekiel's
measurements, the new Temple will be so large that it will occupy the
entire area of the city of Jerusalem. Ezekiel's prophecy explains that
both the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives will be enlarged and
expanded in the future.Despite the uncertainties that we temporarily
face in understanding the elements of Ezekiel's prophetic revelation, we
can still appreciate the fact that this prophet's teaching was part of a
larger, broader tradition that he received from the earlier
prophets.Thus, it should be noted when the Second Temple was erected,
its builders incorporated a number of components that were based on
Ezekiel's prophecy. Everything that they were able to understand from
Ezekiel's words, they included in the structure of the Second
Temple.These details include, for example, the permanent closure of the
southern gate (44:2); the chambers of the Women's Court ("the courts of
the incense" - 46:21); and the width of the altar (3:1).All of those
details from Ezekiel's prophecy that were not explained in the Second
Temple era, remain sealed until that time when "the earth shall be
filled with the knowledge of G-d, as the waters that cover the sea"
(Isaiah 11:9). In the future, we shall be enlightened with a higher
level of spiritual awareness and consciousness, and at that time we will
have the ability to perceive the deeper meaning of all those portions
of Ezekiel's vision that had heretofore been inaccessible. Until that
time, it is the Second Temple's attributes that must be upheld when
rebuilding the Temple. Most importantly, Israel's Divine obligation to
rebuild the Holy Temple remains a constant and unchanging factor in the
nation's life, throughout every generation.

A Call to Everyone in the World to Send a Letter to the Pope
The
Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement sent a letter to Pope
Benedict XVI in Rome requesting him to return to Israel — without delay
— the Holy Temple Menorah, the vessels, and the treasures that were
stolen by the Romans and taken to Rome when they destroyed the Holy
Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 ce. These Temple vessels will
be used by the priests of Israel in the Holy Third Temple.We are working
intensively so that the Holy Third Temple will soon be built in the
lifetime of our generation. By this act we are answering the prophetic
call of the G‑d of Israel to His People to rebuild His Holy House on the
Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem now, as Israel is experiencing the
climax of the time of redemption in the Holy Land of Israel.We have sent
to the Pope a call from the G‑d and People of Israel to respond without
delay. After the destruction of the First Holy Temple by the
Babylonians in the year 586 bce, the Persian King obeyed the call of G‑d
upon him and returned the vessels of the First Holy Temple which
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, stole when he destroyed the First
Temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus encouraged the Jewish people to rebuild
the Holy Temple of the G‑d of Israel in Jerusalem. He even set free the
Jewish people from their captivity and sent them back to the Land of
Israel. The G‑d of Israel richly blessed him for this:"Thus says the
L‑rd thy redeemer....Who says to Cyrus, my shepherd, who shall perform
all my will: saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be rebuilt; and to the
temple, Thy foundation shall be laid....Thus says the L‑rd to his
anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that I may subdue
nations before him, and loose the loins of kings; that I may open before
him doors and gates which shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and
make the mountainous places level: I will break in pieces the gates of
brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: and I will give thee the
treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou
mayest know that I, the L‑rd, who call thee by thy name, am the G-D of
Israel. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my elect, I have even
called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not
known me. I am the L‑rd, and there is none else, there is no G-D beside
me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: that they may know
from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside
me. I am the L‑rd, and there is none else...." (Isaiah 44:24,28;
45:1-6)
Everyone in the world is called to also send a letter to
the Pope asking him to return the Holy Temple Menorah, the vessels, and
the treasures to Israel without delay. Please ask your friends, family,
and acquaintances to also send such a letter of request to the Pope. We
have included our original letter below to the Pope for your
information. The address for Pope Benedict XVI appears at the top of our
letter below.
Any person who writes a letter to the Pope about this
matter will be blessed by G‑d and will have an important part in the
historical redemption and rebuilding of the end-time Holy Temple of the
G‑d of Israel in Jerusalem. If possible, please also send us a copy of
your letter to the Pope to ouor address below.
Thank you so much and may the G‑d of Israel bless you richly.

Re: The return of the Holy Temple Menorah, Vessels and Treasures to Jerusalem
Pope Benedict XVI,
A
Call to Pope Benedict XVI from the G‑d and People of Israel to Return
Without Delay the Holy Temple Menorah, the Vessels and the Treasures
that are presently located in the Vatican, to G‑d's People Israel in
Jerusalem.The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement in
Jerusalem, which is dedicated to the rebuilding of the Holy Third Temple
on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the lifetime of this
generation that is now experiencing the prophetic end-time redemption of
the People of Israel in the Promised Holy Land given by G‑d to Israel
in an eternal covenant, is calling you to answer the call of the G‑d and
People of Israel to return to the State of Israel, with no delay, the
Jewish Temple Menorah and other Temple Vessels and Treasures that were
taken away to Rome by the Romans in the year 70 ce after they destroyed
the Holy Temple of G‑d in Jerusalem.As you well know, in the year 70 ce
the Roman Empire occupied Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the G‑d and
People of Israel, and the Land of Israel. They destroyed the Holy Temple
of the G‑d of Israel on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem and
demolished and burned the city of Jerusalem. They robbed and took away
with them to Rome the seven-branched Holy Menorah and many other Holy
Temple Vessels and Treasures used by the Jewish priesthood in the
worship of the G‑d of Israel in the Holy Temple. Titus, who destroyed
the Holy Temple and burned it, built his Triumphal Arch in Rome on which
is depicted until today the Holy Menorah and other Temple Vessels
carried to Rome by Jewish captives. Since this terrible event in the
history of Israel and mankind, we know very well that the Menorah, the
Vessels and the Treasures that were taken to Rome have remained in the
vaults of the Vatican. Travelers and visitors to the Vatican throughout
history have reported seeing them.
This is G‑d's timing to return
these vessels to Israel, and you are called by the G‑d of Israel to
return them with no delay to Jerusalem to be used in the Holy Third
Temple that is soon to be rebuilt. Today the reestablishment of the
Kingdom of G‑d and Israel by the G‑d of Israel is the most exciting
fulfillment of G‑d's end-time prophecies and promises.The climax of this
prophetic time will be according to the Word of the G‑d of Israel with
the rebuilding of His end-time Holy Temple on the Holy Temple Mount in
Jerusalem soon, in our lifetime, exactly as all the prophets of Israel
prophesied:"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the
mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall
flow to it. And many people shall go and say, 'Come, and let us go up to
the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the G‑d of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion
shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he
shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people: and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall
they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and
under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of
the LORD of hosts has spoken it." (Isaiah 2:2-4, Micah 4:1-4)
Israel
is presently experiencing the fulfillment of all the last days and
end-time redemptive promises of G‑d for His People Israel. The G‑d of
Israel is rebuilding in these days, together with His Chosen People
Israel, His Holy Kingdom in the Promised Holy Land that He gave to His
People Israel in an eternal covenant. As we said before, the climax of
this prophetic time is going to be the soon rebuilding of the Holy
Temple of G‑d in Jerusalem by His People Israel exactly as it was
prophesied by the prophets Isaiah, Micah and all the other prophets of
Israel. The rebuilding of the Holy Temple of the G‑d of Israel by His
People Israel will have a deep significance for all of mankind. Real
peace for all the nations will come to pass only when Israel rebuilds
G‑d's Holy Temple on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem and fulfills the
end-time call of G‑d given to His People Israel: "Build Me a temple and
I will dwell among you" (Exodus 25:8).It is the time for you to return
the Holy Temple Menorah, the Vessels and the Treasures to Israel with no
delay to be used in the Holy Temple of G‑d that is soon to be built.
Cyrus, the ancient Persian King obeyed the call of G‑d during the time
of the redemption of the Jewish people after the destruction of the
First Holy Temple and he returned the vessels from the First Temple that
Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, robbed when he destroyed the First
Holy Temple in Jerusalem in the year 586 bce. The G‑d of Israel blessed
King Cyrus exactly as He promised to Abraham and His Seed Israel: "I
will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" (Genesis
12:3). King Cyrus was so blessed and appreciated by the G‑d of Israel
for what he did that G‑d even called Cyrus "my Machiach" (in Hebrew: "my
Anointed") (Isaiah 45:1-7). King Cyrus even encouraged the Jewish
people to rebuild the House of G‑d in Jerusalem, set them free from
their captivity and regathered them back to the Land of Israel (Ezra
1).You are called by the G‑d of Israel to do what the great emperor
Cyrus did in his time and you will be blessed and deeply appreciated for
this by the G‑d of Israel. More than this, it will be for you the
greatest privilege and considered as a major historical deed that no
other Pope before you had the privilege to accomplish.You are called to
appreciate the major godly redemptive event that is taking place in the
Holy Land of Israel at this very special time in the history of Israel
and all of mankind. The prophet Zechariah in his prophecy described
word-by-word the exciting godly event that is presently taking place in
Israel. In the midst of his prophetic words is the rebuilding of the
Holy Temple of the G‑d of Israel in Jerusalem where the G‑d of Israel
will dwell again in the midst of His People Israel:"Again the word of
the L‑rd of hosts came to me, saying, Thus says the L‑rd of hosts; I was
zealous for Zion with great zeal, and I was zealous for her with a
great fury. Thus says the L‑rd; I have returned to Zion, and will dwell
in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of
truth; and the mountain of the L‑rd of hosts, The holy mountain. Thus
says the L‑rd of hosts; Old men and old women shall yet again dwell in
the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for
the fullness of days. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys
and girls playing in its streets. Thus says the L‑rd of hosts; If it be
marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, it
will also be marvelous in my eyes, says the L‑rd of hosts. Thus says the
L‑rd of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and
from the west country; and I will bring them in, and they will dwell in
the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their
G‑d, in truth and righteousness. Thus says the L‑rd of hosts; Let your
hands be strong, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of
the prophets, who spoke on the day that the foundation of the house of
the L‑rd of hosts was laid, saying that the temple might be
built....Thus says the L‑rd of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that
there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: and the
inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily
to entreat the favor of the L‑rd, and to seek the L‑rd of hosts: I will
go also. And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the L‑rd
of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the L‑rd. Thus says the L‑rd
of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men out of all
the languages of the nations shall take hold, and shall seize the skirt
of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard
that G‑d is with you." (Zechariah 8:1-9, 20-23)
In the year 1990
the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement dedicated and
anointed a foundation stone for the Holy Third Temple to begin the
process of the rebuilding of the House of the G‑d of Israel on the Holy
Temple Mount in Jerusalem and to fulfill the call of G‑d to His People
Israel through the prophets Zechariah, Isaiah, Micah, Haggai and other
prophets of Israel. This cornerstone was brought to Jerusalem during an
exciting event and is waiting to be laid on the Holy Temple Mount
through an historical decision by the Israeli Knesset and government in
order to start the process of the rebuilding of the Holy Temple of G‑d.
The Temple Mount Faithful Movement is doing a public campaign in Israel
and all over the world to make it a reality in the lifetime of our
generation.We look forward to you answering this call of the G‑d and
People of Israel with no delay and to return the Holy Menorah, Vessels
and Treasures of the Holy Temple of the G‑d of Israel, that are
presently in the Vatican, back to Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the
G‑d and People of Israel, so that they can be used in the services of
the priests of Israel in the Holy Third Temple that is soon to be
rebuilt on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The entire world is
waiting for you to answer this call of the G‑d and People of Israel with
no delay. All of mankind will appreciate this historical event.
We look forward to your prompt reply.
Sincerely in the Name of the G‑d of Israel,
Gershon Salomon Chairman, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
