Sivan 5759/Spring 1999
Be'ezrat Hashem (with the help of G-d)
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 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 God 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. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. (Isaiah 2:1-5)
Dear friends, a warm shalom from your brother in Jerusalem, the city of G-d and the capital of Israel. I send you love, blessings and prayers from all your friends in The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement. You are always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers even though you are so far away from Israel and Jerusalem. I know that your hearts and love are in the Holy Land with G-d and the people of Israel and the Faithful Movement.
I want to express our appreciation in the name of all the members of the Movement for having joined the Movement at a special time in the history of Israel. This is an exciting and critical time when your co-operation and support are so needed. I feel that this is one of the major signs that we are living in the prophetic time that all the prophets of Israel spoke about. Isaiah prophesied: "Thus says the Lord G-d, 'Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up My standard to the people; and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers...'" (Isaiah 49:22-23a). Isaiah spoke of you and all those who have given their hearts and support to Israel and to the Faithful Movement when he said in the name of G-d: "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her; rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her; that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus says the Lord, 'Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream; then shall you suck, you shall be carried upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. ... For I know their works and their thoughts; it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see My glory. And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to far off islands, that have not heard My fame, nor have they seen My glory; and they shall declare My glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to the Lord from all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon fleet camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem', says the Lord, as the people of Israel bring an offering in a clean utensil to the house of the Lord. ... 'And it shall come to pass, that every new moon, and every Sabbath, shall all flesh come to worship before me', says the Lord" (Isaiah 66:10-12,18-20,23). He spoke directly to you; and now, more than 2,500 years later, G-d opened your heart to listen to this Word of G-d and to make it a reality in your personal life. The G-d of Israel showed me the fulfilment of this prophecy in your lives and in the lives of many others from all over the world. I thank G-d that He gave me the privilege of seeing, in such a short time, the fulfilment of the last day prophecies of the prophets of Israel. G-d and the people of Israel will never forget this. You have become an important part of the last day godly events with Israel. At the climax of this has been the historical godly campaign including the struggle and preparation for the Temple, the house of G-d on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Thirty-two years ago, immediately after the Six Day War, we decided to dedicate our lives to make this vision of rebuilding the Temple, a reality in our lifetime. You have joined us at this special moment in the history of Israel with a pure heart. You did not ask for any reward, only the privilege to act for G-d and the people of Israel. But the G-d of Israel promised through the prophet Isaiah: "Also the sons of the stranger, who join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and all who hold fast to My covenant; even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples" (Isaiah 56:6-7). And to you, my dear brothers and sisters, who joined yourself to the G-d of Israel, to love Him, to serve Him and to rebuild His house in Jerusalem, G-d will give the greatest gift that anyone can have in their lives, which is to be called hesed, meaning "to be His servant and to have a part in His holy house". G-d promised through all His prophets that when He redeems the Jewish people and Israel, He will also redeem those righteous Gentiles who joined the people of Israel in the critical time of redemption. This is the right time. I want to share that we love you and pray for you here before the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. You are always in our hearts and thoughts as brothers and sisters.
To my Jewish brothers and sisters who are still living in the Galut (exile), I want to say that the G-d of Israel is calling you to immediately come back to the wonderful land that G-d dedicated to you. Since the foundation of the State of Israel by G-d in 1948, the exile has been coming to an end. It is no longer a place for Jews to live. It is a blessing that you are with Israel in good times and in bad, but it cannot be from a distance. Jewish life can no longer continue in exile. During the 2,000 years since the destruction of Israel, the Jewish people have passed through terrible times: holocausts, pogroms, inquisitions and other persecutions. In our own generation six million were killed and burned in terrible ways by the Germans and their allies; this included 1.5 million children and babies. The Jewish people survived because G-d saved them. He decided to make the survivors those from the valley of dry bones who would come back to the Promised Land and rebuild Jewish life and the State of Israel in the land which G-d promised to them in an eternal covenant. At the same time the prayers and hopes of the Jewish people to be redeemed by G-d and to return to the land of Israel were the reason that G-d redeemed them and gave them the strength to overcome the persecutions in the exile and to come to the Promised Land. The destiny of the Jewish people is connected to the land of Israel and only here can Jewish life be fulfilled. This is the reason that the Jewish people all over the world are now passing through another holocaust -- a spiritual holocaust of assimilation. At the same time, my brothers and sisters, you are missing the biggest event which could ever occur in the life of the Jewish people -- the wonderful prophetic process of redemption which G-d is doing with the people and land of Israel now, day by day. Come back home!
The rebirth of Israel is not just another everyday event in the history of the world. The major godly revolution which is now taking place in Israel is the fulfilment of G-d's plans which He initiated when He called Abraham to fulfill an eternal mission. The rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David represent the climax of G-d's last day plans for Israel. The people of Israel, the seed of Abraham, are a clear creation of G-d in order to fulfill this eternal mission in the whole world. This is the nation which G-d chose to carry His word and light to all the nations. This is the godly destiny of Israel and the reason for which G-d chose and dedicated the people of Israel. Israel cannot and will never be just another nation. Israel is the people of G-d chosen to serve Him among all the nations. This is exactly what G-d spoke as recorded in the Tanach. G-d said to the people of Israel, "Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own treasure among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the people of Israel" (Exodus 19:5-6). The Temple, the house of G-d in Jerusalem, was, and will again be, the focus of this major task of Israel. This is the vision and the goal of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement. My friends and I decided to obey the Word of G-d and to fulfill the eternal vision that He gave to Israel. We dedicated our lives to this goal after the liberation of the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the Biblical areas of the land in the Six Day War of 1967. We shall continue to act and struggle for G-d, His house, Jerusalem and the land in every legal and moral means that we have. We are ready to sacrifice everything in our lives for this holy mission. The rebuilding of the Temple will open a new age, not only in the life of Israel, but in the life of all the nations. The prophets described this new age as a pure life where, "The wolf also shall live with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, who shall stand for a banner of the people; to it shall the nations seek; and his resting place shall be glorious" (Isaiah 11:6-10).
Sometimes people ask what is so important about the rebuilding of the Temple. To find the answer we consider the record of the Scriptures. The Temple was the heart, soul and focus of the life of Israel since the time when King David liberated Mount Moriah and Jerusalem and brought the Ark of the Covenant to the city. In fact, Jerusalem became the capital of Israel and a large, glorious city because of the Temple Mount which was in the midst of it. The G-d of Israel dwelt in the midst of the people of Israel. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement is dedicated to rebuilding the Temple because we want to bring the G-d of Israel into the midst of the life of the nation of Israel and into the life of the whole world. Israel cannot exist without the G-d of Israel in the midst of her. He is the reason for the creation of the nation of Israel. From the first moment, G-d ordered the people of Israel; "And let them make Me a temple that I may dwell among them" (Exodus 25:8). G-d wants to dwell among His people so that they can come "see Him and to be seen by Him". The Third Temple will be the House of G-d where not only Israel but all the nations will come to worship and to show their love to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. G-d chose this place in Jerusalem to be the gate from heaven where He reflects His glory, His blessings, and His love to Israel and to all the nations. Since the destruction of the Temple this gate from heaven has been closed. The ingathering of the people of Israel and the rebirth of the State partially opened this gate. The blessings and glory of G-d once again started to cover the people and land of Israel. However, the rebuilding of the Temple will completely open this gate. G-d's blessing and glory will completely cover the people and the land of Israel and this time also all the nations. Mashiach ben David will come and G-d will redeem Israel and the nations. This is the reason that the rebuilding of the Temple is such a critical event in the life of the whole universe. The Temple Mount Faithful wants to make this a reality.
Dear friends, it is correct to say that we are living in the most exciting time in the life of Israel. It is also the most critical time. Many people still do not understand that the rebirth of the people and land of Israel initiated this godly time. One day soon, I hope not too late, they will understand what G-d is doing in Israel at this special time. It is a condition for their own end-time redemption. The closer we come to the completion of G-d's plans in Israel, the more the enemy tries to destroy what has already been accomplished. Just a few month ago, 154 nations in the UN General Assembly voted for a resolution declaring that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel and that Israel is not allowed to build houses there. This is not only an evil resolution but a terrible revolt against G-d Himself. This is the city in which Israel will build the House of G-d and from where the Word of G-d will spread all over the world. Jerusalem is the heart of G-d and Israel and nobody can cut it from our souls. The Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the holy land of Israel will one day be the focus of all the nations. On the Temple Mount in Jerusalem the priests and Levites will serve G-d, Israel and all the nations. Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel. The original boundaries which G-d promised to Abraham will define the land of Israel. From here Israel will raise children and fulfill the task that G-d gave them among all the nations.
Israel is in the midst of a very difficult struggle against many enemies, especially in the Middle East. However, these enemies are suffering from bitter delusions if they think that they can defeat the G-d of Israel. Nobody can stop the godly, end-time process which G-d started in 1948. In Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount, and all over Israel we see the miracles that G-d is doing for the people of Israel. Soon these enemies will be defeated and G-d will dwell in His rebuilt house on Mt. Moriah and the people of Israel will live in real peace and will be able to fulfill their end-time task.
Dear friends, we are all living in a time of a godly test. Israel is facing her biggest test ever: will she trust in G-d and remove the foreign, pagan enemies of G-d from the Temple Mount and rebuild the Temple? Israel must know that only the G-d of Israel controls her destiny. Together with G-d, Israel is a majority and all the world is a minority. No one will succeed in hurting her when she purifies the Temple Mount and rebuilds the House of G-d. Only this key event will bring real peace to Israel and to the world. There will never be a real peace until the Temple Mount is liberated and purified. This is the major challenge to Israel at this time. It is also a great challenge for the nations. They must answer the question of this challenge: will they give their support to Israel, to help them to accomplish G-d's prophetic end-time plans on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel? Will they reject the enemies of G-d and Israel? G-d expects them to answer these questions positively. We pray that this will be their answer.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement made a revolution in the minds and hearts of the people of Israel concerning the rebuilding of the Temple and its Biblical vision for Israel. The practical and educational campaign of this Movement opened a new door. More than at any time in the past, Israel understands the principles and goals of the Movement and the urgent need for the fulfilment of them. We feel the presence, encouragement, and blessings of G-d in every act of the Movement. We feel the support and encouragement of the people of Israel. More than this, many people all over the world have joined the Movement. They support and encourage us to do our holy work. To all of them I want to extend our thanks in the name of all the members of our Movement and to tell them that without them we could not do our daily work to fulfill our goals. I know that with their help we shall soon see the fulfilment of our goals. We shall stand before the G-d of Israel in His rebuilt house and thank Him for the great privilege that He gave us to serve Him. In the name of all of you, I thank the G-d of Israel that He chose us for this wonderful privilege. We shall continue to trust in G-d and serve Him at this exciting and critical time.
In Israel we are now living in exciting, prophetic end-times. G-d is moving in the midst of the people of Israel to redeem the people and land of Israel and to rebuild His House on Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem. We believe that Mashiach ben David is soon to come. At the same time these are very critical times that will be followed by troubles and difficult events. One important result of these times is that the preparations for the rebuilding of the Temple and the worship in it are continuing at full speed.
We know very clearly that the situation in Israel is just the birth pains of redemption. G-d told the people of Israel through the Scriptures that the time preceding the coming of Mashiach ben David would be a time of pain, sorrow, difficulties, and troubles in Israel and throughout the world. We know that the time is very short. We want to see the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David in our lifetime. Our generation needs this godly revolution more than at any time in the past. G-d decided that our generation will be the generation of the redemption. Fifty years of His activities in Israel have demonstrated this very clearly. More than at any time in the past, this fulfilment of G-d's end-time plans depends on what we do here in Israel. We are continually acting to make G-d's desires a reality. An important part of these activities is the preparations for the renewal of the worship on the Temple Mount and the preparations for the building of the House of G-d itself.
The work on the architectural plans for the Third Temple continues. Preparation of the stones and other practical parts of the building also continues. When we brought the cornerstone to Jerusalem it was done by a family in Israel named Alafi who had a very old tradition in that they took part in the building of the First and Second Temples. This family came back to the land of their forefathers from the Babylonian exile (modern day Iraq) immediately after the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. This family is very well known as workers of stone. When we came to them and asked them to donate a corner stone for the Third Temple, they were very overcome. They immediately shared the family tradition with us and we both felt that it was G-d Who had directed us to this family. They are ready today to start the rebuilding of the Temple and have decided to donate all the stones and the work for the rebuilding of the Temple.
At the same time, the preparations for the worship in the Third Temple are being continued by many people in Israel. Instruments, vessels and garments have been reconstructed. We have started to put these vessels in the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement Center in Jerusalem. Visitors to our Center can see them; many more will be added in the near future. We now have a complete set of the priestly garments which were prepared according to the Torah. Every part of this set was prepared as one piece, exactly according to Biblical law. Eleven years of research has led to the preparation of the incense offered to G-d on the Altar of Incense. We now have them in our Center both in liquid and solid form. Also a model of the Altar of Incense is being prepared. We have in the Center the holy Half Shekel and the blue dye for the Tallith.
A model of the Ark of the Covenant is being prepared. It will give everyone an idea of how the original one looked. The original Ark, which was hidden in a secret room under the Temple Mount a short time before the destruction of the First Temple, will be placed in the Third Temple. We are looking forward to an Israeli government which will purify the Temple Mount from the Arab Islamic abomination and build the Third Temple. Research is being undertaken into how the Mosaic Menorah was constructed. This Menorah has to be constructed of one piece of pure gold. We do not yet have sufficient gold to construct the Menorah. Red heifers are being raised in Israel and in the U.S.A. We are looking for ashes of the red heifer which were hidden by the priests prior to the destruction of the Temple. Research is being undertaken on how to prepare the ashes in our time. In a Center in Jerusalem, musical instruments for the Levitical worship are being prepared. Many other items for the Temple worship are also being prepared.
In recent years in Israel, the education of the priests and Levites has begun so that they can fulfill their tasks in the Temple. As part of this, there is a plan to build a settlement of priests and Levites in Samaria in the near future.
We continue to educate the public in Israel and throughout the world about the Temple, the worship in the Temple, and the great need for a Temple at this exciting time. We have had major successes in these activities. Polls conducted in Israel show that the majority of Israelis want to renew the worship on the Temple Mount. Millions of people from all over the world have a desire to see the Temple and the renewal of the worship in the Temple in their lifetime. These are the fruits of the activities of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement.
We want to thank all the kind people from all over the world who have opened their hearts and shown their love for the G-d of Israel by sending us generous donations. We have even received pieces of silver, gold, and jewelry for the rebuilding of the House of G-d. This has given us the ability to make all these preparations for the Third Temple. What can be more worthy in the life of people today than to donate to the House of G-d in Jerusalem? It is so exciting to see people acting in the same way as during the building of the First and Second Temples when they came to the builders of the Temple and gave them donations. Women gave their jewelry for the preparation of the Temples. Everyone wanted to have a part in the house of the G-d of Israel. Any donation for the activities of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will be accepted with deep appreciation. The donors names will remain in the memory of succeeding generations forever. They will be blessed by G-d.
In the Torah, in Parasha Hukkat (Numbers 19-22), G-d spoke to Moses saying, "Speak to the people of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, which has no blemish, and upon which never came yoke; and you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring it forth outside the camp, and one shall slay it before his face; and Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle of its blood directly before the Tent of Meeting seven times; and one shall burn the heifer in his sight; its skin, and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn; and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. ... And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the people of Israel for a water of sprinkling; it is a purification offering. ... and it shall be to the people of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, for a statute forever" (Numbers 19:2-6;9;10b).
The commandment concerning the ashes of the red heifer was one of the most important commandments connected to Temple worship. In the times of the Tabernacle and the First and Second Temples a person could not enter the Tabernacle or the Temple unless that person was ritually clean. The ashes of the red heifer were prepared from a perfect animal which was completely red. The ashes were usually prepared on the Mount of Olives and used to purify people who had come in contact with a dead body. In other cases the Jews could purify themselves in running water, usually in a Mikvah. In almost every Jewish house of those times there were Mikvahs. There were also public Mikvahs. In archeological digs which were done in the Old City area, Masada and other places, many Mikvahs were discovered. One of the most important ideas of being a holy people means to be clean spiritually and physically. The purification by water or by the ashes of the red heifer meant not only a physical purification and cleaning but, even more than this, a spiritual purification. This is the reason why Jews wash their hands at least three times before every meal. When they wash their hands, they bless G-d and say: "Blessed art thou O Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, who hath sanctified us by His commandments and commanded us to wash the hands." In this way they not only purify and clean their hands physically but they make the meal a spiritual activity.
The most important purification used was the ashes of the red heifer. As we see in the Torah portion above, it was only used in cases where Jews came into contact with dead bodies, and in this case only the ashes of the red heifer could purify the person. This was done especially before they entered the Tabernacle or Temple. The people could not enter if they were not ritually pure. They even took off their shoes and walked on the paths in their bare feet with great care and deep respect for the G-d of Israel.
Red heifers have rarely been born in Israel; sometimes only once in a generation. When one was born it was a miracle. Though rare, they were always sufficient because only a small amount was mixed with pure water for the purification. Nine red heifers were born during the time of the Tabernacle and two Temples. The tenth, according to this tradition, will be born in the end-times for the Third Temple. Since the destruction of the Second Temple, no red heifers have been born. After the godly rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948, and especially after the miraculous liberation of the Temple Mount in 1967, the call of G-d for the rebuilding of the Temple started. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement was founded to make this call of G-d a reality in our lifetime. At the same time, efforts were initiated to discover ashes which had been hidden by the priests before the destruction of the Second Temple. Archeological digs were undertaken in the area of Jerusalem and Qumran in the Dead Sea area. At the same time, news of red heifers began to appear. One was born in northern Israel. Less than a year ago another red heifer was born in the Ayalon valley where David defeated Goliath. Not only have red heifers been born in Israel but also in the United States on the ranches of Zionist Christians.
One year ago a perfect red heifer was born on the Texas ranch of a member of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement. This rancher had previously come to meetings where I spoke about the vision and activities of the Movement for the rebuilding of the Temple. He and his family became very special to me. Their love for the G-d and people of Israel and the vision of the rebuilding of the Temple moved my heart. In the meetings I felt a deep need to ask him whether a red heifer had been born on his ranch. It was G-d Who stirred me to ask the question. I knew that a red heifer would soon be born on his ranch. About a year ago I received a letter from this wonderful rancher with the exciting message: "A red heifer has been born on my ranch." At the same time, I received a phone call from another member, Sam Peak, who also brought me this joyful message. He asked how to handle the heifer and how to raise her according to the godly, Jewish law. A red heifer must be raised in a very special way like a holy thing which is completely dedicated to G-d. It must be raised in a very special, clean stall and fed special food. She cannot be raised with other calves, especially males. It is forbidden to use her for any work or any other needs of the rancher. I gave them all the details and I thanked G-d for His kindness. I understood this as a clear message from G-d to His people, Israel, that the time for the rebuilding of the Temple has come. It was no accident that for almost 2,000 years no red heifers were born; now, they are coming one after another in Israel and on the ranches of friends of Israel.
These two red heifers were dedicated by the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement to be used when they are three years old. They have continued to be perfect red heifers for the preparation of the ashes of the red heifer for the Third Temple. When the Third Temple is completed, the ashes are necessary for the renewal of worship in the Temple: firstly to purify the priests and Levites who will worship in the Temple and then the Israelis who will come to worship the G-d of Israel. We want to be ready for this moment.
My friend in the Faithful Movement, Ze'ev bar Tov and I had the privilege of seeing for ourselves this special red heifer in Texas. She really looked perfect. Although we had not planned it, our visit to the ranch coincided with the week in which the Parasha Hukkat (Numbers 19-22) was read in the synagogues. It was again an obvious godly message to us that the birth of the red heifer on this ranch was not an accident. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life. I felt the presence of the G-d of Israel on this ranch and in this family. I immediately knew that G-d had brought me to the United States and to that place to see His miracles. He wanted to show me in what wonderful miraculous ways He is fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 49:22-23; 66:18-24; Zechariah 8:20-23 and other prophecies of Isaiah and other prophets.
When the rancher and Sam Peak asked what name should be given to the heifer, the name Geula, meaning "redemption", immediately came to my mind. I really feel that this special event represents one of the most exciting events of the redemption of Israel. I named the red heifer which was born in Israel Tsiona, meaning "to Zion".
When the red heifer from Texas is ready, she will be brought to Israel and handed over to the Temple Mount Faithful in a special ceremony. This will be a great day for the rancher in Texas who dedicated himself to raise this red heifer and to follow the godly law so carefully. We thank him for this.
G-d is sending many red heifers. Today red heifers are also being raised in Mississippi. This has not happened like this in the past. I wonder how so many people are too blind to see what G-d is doing with Israel at this exciting time. Some even try to stop G-d from interacting with Israel to fulfill His prophetic end-time plans. In the secular press in Israel, and in other places, articles have been published which stated that the birth of a red heifer is a great danger. It is compared to an atomic bomb because it opens the door for millions of Jews to purify themselves in order to walk on the Temple Mount. I can only wonder how they can differentiate between day and night if they see so poorly. None of the enemies of G-d and Israel can stop the determined decision of G-d to accomplish His prophetic end-time plans with Israel. The process of the redemption of Israel will continue. This is the message, not only for Israel, but for all the nations.
The Temple Mount, the Hill of G-d, is still under terrible Islamic domination. From the first moment that the Arabs occupied the Temple Mount in 638 ce, they began to destroy the last remains of the Second Temple. The Western Wall of the Temple and the Western Wall of the Holy of Holies were still standing. The Moslems also destroyed the altar and other important parts of the Temple complex. They robbed vessels that they found in the ruins of the Temple. At the end of the 7th century, they built the Dome of the Rock on the most holy place of the Jewish nation. They also built a mosque on the Holy Hill of the G-d and named it Al Aqsa. They did this as a part of their imperialistic occupation without the permission of G-d or the Jewish people. They did the same thing in other places where they occupied by their imperialistic forces. They destroyed churches and built mosques in their places. They did not hesitate to destroy the Hagia Sophia church in Constantinople and built a mosque in its place. This church was the center of Eastern Christianity. Then they renamed Constantinople, Istanbul. They also destroyed holy places of other religions in India, Asia, Africa and built mosques in their place. They did this because they want to destroy all other religions and convert all mankind to Islam. This is a very basic principle and motivation of Moslems all over the world. They want all mankind to be Islamic and the Qu'ran, the holy book of Islam, commands them to do this with a sword. Even today we see the results of this principle all over the world, for example, in New York, Oklahoma City, Paris, Bombay, Israel, and Lebanon. They do it because they have no respect for the holy places, cultural values, or the religions of other peoples. Another reason is because they want to give religious legitimacy to their imperialistic occupations. They have always been experts in the use of religious terms and historical lies to advance their political and imperialistic goals.
Today the Moslems continue the destruction of the remains of the First and Second Temples on Mt. Moriah. Very unique and important artifacts continually disappear from the holy site of G-d. These are holy to G-d, the Jewish People, Israel , every believer in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and, I would say, to all mankind. We worry deeply that we shall never recover these artifacts. The Arab Moslem barbarians destroy them in order to remove any evidence of the First and Second Temples on the Temple Mount. Recently they have started to spread ugly lies that the Temple was never on Mt. Moriah and that the history of the Temple Mount started in the 7th century when they occupied this area. How can they have the audacity to spread such terrible lies with no fear of the reaction of G-d and His people? They have this audacity because few care about the most Holy Hill of G-d. Who is the United Nations which continually shows its anti-Israeli policy by making resolutions against Israel? It permanently supports the Arabs and the so-called "Palestinians" even though they continually commit terrorism and wage wars against Israel and her innocent population with the clear purpose of destroying them. Who is the U.S. President and the American administration who are putting pressure on Israel to give away land while not caring about the Arab destruction on the Temple Mount? Where are the European nations that often state that Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are holy for them but do nothing to stop the Arab destruction? All of these powers do nothing to stop this abomination because they prefer Islamic oil and money. They don't care about G-d and put Him in the corner of their lives or even deny Him. For them, Israel is a small nation with little to offer in materialistic terms. Yet, Israel has the greatest gift for all mankind: the G-d of Israel, His holy Word and moral laws. It is so sad that the world prefers materialistic and physical values to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His values. This hypocritical and immoral behavior cannot continue for very long. Mankind is destroying itself by its own hands. We are living in a time of godly testing; the time of G-d's judgment is soon to come. Only the G-d of Israel controls the destiny of His Chosen People, Israel. G-d will judge all mankind, according to their behavior towards His people and the State of Israel. Whether or not they want to accept it, Israel was dedicated from the time that G-d called Abraham to be "a holy nation, a kingdom of priests and a treasure above all the nations" (Exodus 19:5-6).
Israel has the godly responsibility to remove the abomination from the Temple Mount, to rebuild the House of G-d, and to prepare for the coming of Mashiach ben David. Israel was dedicated to be a tower of light for all nations and to bring the G-d of Israel into the life of Israel and the world. This will happen only on the Temple Mount. The G-d of Israel will be with us and we will completely trust in Him. All people faithful to the Word of G-d should cease being passive and raise their voices to stop this terrible abomination. The struggle of so many powers and peoples against Israel and against what G-d is doing must be challenged. G-d will never forget what you did at this time of judgment. He will redeem you together with His people Israel.
A report from the Jerusalem police and municipal authorities states that the Arabs on the Temple Mount are continuing to destroy the last important remains of the Second Temple Age in the Hulda Tunnel. The Hulda Tunnel was the main entrance to the Temple Mount in the Second Temple Age. Millions of pilgrims entered the Temple Mount through the Hulda Gates. The Hulda Gate led to the Hulda Tunnel built by King Herod under the Temple Mount. The pilgrims entered into the court of the Temple from this tunnel and exited by the same way. On their way out from the Temple Mount they met pilgrims who were entering the Temple. They comforted those who had lost dear ones and blessed and prayed for those who had sickness or problems in their lives. It was one of the most special meeting places for Israelis when they came to the Temple Mount.
The Hulda Tunnel was the most beautiful tunnel built under the Temple Mount. It was filled with very special, beautiful ornaments of the seven species of holy fruit of the land of Israel and also housed a beautiful line of marble columns. From the first moment that pilgrims came to the Temple Mount it gave them a special feeling of holiness.
This tunnel was one of the portions of the Second Temple which survived undamaged until the twentieth century. Visitors who came in previous centuries mentioned it in their writings. In 1998, the Arabs on the Temple Mount started to destroy the last remains in the tunnel. Previously, they had covered all the ornaments and columns with plaster to deny the Jewish identity of the tunnel. This was also done in other places on the Temple Mount to deny that the Temple existed on the Temple Mount. They wanted to claim that it was an Islamic center of mosques. Now they are building another mosque in the Hulda Tunnel. The Arabs on the Temple Mount refused to obey the Israeli orders to stop this work. The Israeli authorities showed weakness by failing to enforce these orders. These remains are very important. Israel has the responsibility to save them.
I do not blame the Israeli authorities alone for this situation. They fear the potential violent reaction of the Moslems. The UN, the US Administration, and other world powers are exerting pressure on the Israeli government not to interfere with Moslem activities on the Temple Mount. Where is the UN which is quick to blame Israel for rebuilding the most holy capital, Jerusalem? Where are all the rest of the political hypocrites from all over the world who prefer the oil and money of the Arab nations to the G-d of Israel?
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement has decided to submit a petition to the Supreme Court of Israel. We shall demand that they enforce the order to cease destruction of the Temple Mount. We shall demand that the court trust only the G-d of Israel and not fear the enemies of G-d. We feel that in some way G-d is testing us on the Temple Mount to see whether we trust only in Him and His promises to save Israel from all its enemies. We must stop being silent. I am sure that G-d Himself cries when He sees this barbaric destruction on His most holy hill. We need to wake up and stop this sinful behavior. We call on everyone to pray and to send letters to their governments, to the UN and to the government of Israel demanding that this destruction ends. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement feels that we must bring this call to everyone in Israel and to the whole world.
I had the privilege of walking in this tunnel 15 years ago when a Knesset Committee visited it. I was, as the head of the Temple Mount Faithful, invited to join them. I could feel the presence of G-d so strongly in the tunnel. I sensed the presence of the spirits of millions of my forefathers who walked in the tunnel on their way to the Temple. My heart was stirred and tears came to my eyes when I saw that the Moslems had already covered up the beautiful decorations of the seven species of holy fruit. In another corner of the tunnel I saw one of the beautiful marble columns had been covered with plaster. Nearby I saw a number of long wooden beams which were still marked by fire. These were the beams from the Second Temple that the Moslems had stolen as they destroyed the last remains of the Temple itself. I could not move from that place. I stood for a long time and prayed and wept before the G-d of Israel praying that He rebuild His holy house and that He give me the strength to save His holy hill, Jerusalem, and the land of Israel for Him. I could not move from that place. I could not stop hugging our lovely Almighty One of Israel in one of the most exciting places of the Temple complex. I felt that I could not move from the place to which all my lifelong prayers, desires, and activities had led me. My friends who were with me tugged at me and awakened me from this wonderful dream. I will never forget that moment.
On December 2, 1998, the General Assembly of the U.N. passed a number of resolutions against Israel. The first stated that Israeli sovereignty and law in Jerusalem is illegal. The resolution also stated that the U.N. regrets that two embassies, those of Costa Rica and El Salvador, are in Jerusalem and, hence, recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. A second resolution called for Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights while a third called on Israel to give self-determination to the so-called "Palestinians". 149 states voted in favor of the first resolution. Only Israel voted against the resolution while the United States and another six states abstained. 154 states voted for the resolution calling for self-determination for the "Palestinians".
This is not the first time that this evil organization has passed resolutions against Israel. The meaning of these resolutions is very clear. All the nations of the world are against Israel. The giant Goliath is challenging the small David. They are armed with a wide array of weapons and Israel has only a small stone and the Name of the G-d of Israel. But this is enough. Israel, together with G-d, becomes a majority and all the nations become a minority. 154 nations decided to fight against the prophetic decision of G-d to redeem the people and land of Israel and to make Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel.
Jerusalem was established 3,000 years ago by King David to be the eternal capital of Israel. Even before this, it is obvious that G-d had chosen Jerusalem since the time that He sent Abraham and Isaac to Mt. Moriah. The House of G-d was built on Mt. Moriah because G-d said that He wanted to dwell in the midst of His people, Israel. For thousands of years the faces of all Jews have been directed to Jerusalem when they pray. Synagogues are built facing Jerusalem. The dead are buried facing Jerusalem. Jerusalem is in the heart of every Jew whether in joy or in sorrow. Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are the focus of individual Jews as well as the State of Israel. There is a unique love between Israel, her G-d and her capital, Jerusalem. You will not find a similar case in the history of any other nation. Jerusalem is mentioned more than 700 times in the Tanach. The people of Israel glorified Jerusalem for thousands of years because this city is their beloved capital and because this is the city of the G-d of Israel.
In the Q'uran, the holy book of the Moslems, Jerusalem is not mentioned. The Moslems occupied Jerusalem in 638 ce They controlled the city for almost 1,300 years as a result of their imperialistic occupation. They occupied almost half of the civilized world of their day. Even after such long occupation, they never made Jerusalem their capital. When they pray they face Mecca in Saudi Arabia. They bury their dead facing Mecca. When they pray on the Temple Mount or in Jerusalem they pray towards Mecca with their back to Jerusalem. After occupying Jerusalem, they destroyed the last remains of the Temple and the city which the Jews built. Jerusalem became a small, degenerate oriental city under Moslem occupation.
After a long time in exile, after 1,900 years of terrible persecution, holocaust, and inquisition, G-d brought the people of Israel back to the land. He replanted their roots in the Promised Land. He liberated the land, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount from foreign British and Arab occupation and founded the State of Israel. More than 20,000 Israeli soldiers and many civilians have died in the battles which the Arabs fought against G-d and the people of Israel.
Now the U.N. wants to try to stop G-d's prophetic plans by destroying Israel. The nations prefer the oil, money and the physical power of the Arabs and the Moslems above the G-d of Israel and His plans to redeem, not only Israel, but the whole world. 154 nations voted against G-d and Israel. Even the United States, which was founded by G-d to stand with Israel against her enemies at this critical time, was not with G-d and Israel. Such a shame. I am sure that the decision of the American president and government does not express the feelings of the majority of the American people who love Israel and her G-d. This is a time of testing for all the nations. We will see if they have the moral strength to meet this test.
Why can't the nations learn from the history of the major powers which were determined to destroy G-d and the people of Israel over the centuries. They were terribly punished by G-d and have disappeared from history. Why are the nations unable or unwilling to understand that only the G-d of Israel controls the destiny of the nation of Israel? Whether all the nations want it or not, G-d will soon accomplish His prophetic plans for Israel. He will rebuild His House and Mashiach ben David will soon come. In the G-d of Israel we trust.
On October 15, 1998, negotiations began between the Israeli leadership and the head of the PLO terror organization, Yasser Arafat. These negotiations were evil in the eyes of G-d. U.S. President Clinton and his Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, arranged this conference, put pressure on Israel to give away 13.1% of the land of Israel to the PLO, and to agree to give them much more in the near future. This included the so-called "Palestinian" state in the land of Israel. This was the final agreement of the conference.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to take part in this evil conference, not to make any covenant with Yasser Arafat, not to give him and his terrorists even one square centimeter of the land of Israel, and not to give support to the President of the United States in his efforts to create a so-called "Palestinian" state in the land of Israel. In an effort to avoid facing his personal problems, President Clinton was ready to divide the land of Israel and to found a foreign state for Satan himself. The G-d of Israel will never accept what he tried to do. He will be judged for what he has done to try to destroy G-d's prophetic end-time plans.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement continues to call on the Prime Minister to cancel this evil agreement and avoid carrying out any part of it.
The name Palestine was given by the Romans in the year 70 ce after they destroyed the Temple and the land of Israel. In this way they tried to destroy the covenant that G-d made with Israel when He gave them the Promised Land for His eternal purpose. The name Palestine and the "Palestinian" state in the land of Israel is a terrible revolt against G-d. He will soon judge all of those who are taking part in this evil and anti-G-dly act. The G-d of Israel is a faithful G-d; He will continue to keep His faithfulness to His "first-born son", Israel. This evil Wye agreement will not work. G-d will destroy it. G-d alone controls the destiny of Israel and the world. Big empires and rulers who have tried to destroy Israel in the past were terribly punished and passed out of history.
We want to declare very clearly the Word of G-d at this critical time:
Jerusalem Day March
On May 24, 1998, the day commemorating the liberation of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement marched from Ammunition Hill to the Temple Mount along the same route that Israeli soldiers followed when they liberated Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Ammunition Hill is the area where the Israeli army fought the hardest battle against Jordanian forces. We started the march near the tank, which remains from the terrible battle in the midst of the hill. Then we marched along the route where the battle of the Six Day War took place. We remembered the Israeli soldiers in every place where they fell in this battle. Twenty-four Israeli soldiers died in the battle for this hill. More that 200 sacrificed their lives in other places in the battle for the liberation of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. We shall never forget them. They gave their young lives for G-d and His prophetic plans.
Later we came to Orient House which has become the focus of the "Palestinian Authority" in Jerusalem. We demonstrated against the so-called "Palestinian" campaign to make Jerusalem an Arab city and the capital of a "Palestinian" state. We demonstrated against the Oslo agreement which brought all this ungodly evil on Israel and Jerusalem. We called upon the government of Israel to wake up and to cancel the Oslo agreement and to destroy the "Palestinian" Authority. We carried with us a coffin on which was written "The Oslo agreements and the "Palestinian state" to symbolize that the Oslo agreement has to be stopped and buried. We also carried a Trojan horse to symbolize that they are like a Trojan horse in the midst of the land of Israel. We also carried a symbolic wall to warn of the danger of a re-division of Jerusalem.
From the Orient House we marched to the American consulate where we also protested against the president of the United States, Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, who have joined the enemies of Israel and are putting pressure on Israel to give away the main Biblical areas of Judea, Samaria and Gaza to Yasser Arafat to found a "Palestinian" state in the land which G-d gave to Israel. We also protested against Clinton's messengers who do this evil work: Madeline Albright, Dennis Ross and Martin Indyk. All of them are Jews who have forgotten their Jewish roots and commitments to the G-d and people of Israel. It is a shame for the president of a nation that is very friendly to Israel to do this evil and to use Jews for this purpose against their own G-d and nation. We called on our friends in America to stop them. We worry for the friendly American people that we appreciate and love very much because G-d will never accept what their government is doing in their name against Israel.
From here we continued to the Damascus Gate, one of the beautiful gates in the walls of Biblical Jerusalem. In the plaza of this gate we danced with Israeli flags. We also prayed and read from Psalm 122. We could feel the presence of G-d with us; we knew that Jerusalem will never again be taken from us. We then marched in Biblical Jerusalem with music and joy and songs from the Psalms of King David.
We placed a memorial near the place where Chaim Berman was murdered a few weeks earlier by Arafat's murderers. Chaim was a young Israeli who lived with his wife and young children in the Old City and was a student at "Ateret Cohanim" yeshiva. This is the yeshiva that prepares priests for the worship in the Third Temple. This young martyr is now close to G-d and from heaven he continues to give us strength to continue our holy, godly campaign.
At the end of the march we arrived at the climax of this event -- the Temple Mount. Feisal Husseini, one of the PLO leaders, had called on the Arabs to come to the Temple Mount and stop the Temple Mount Faithful from going up on the Mount. Many hundreds of Arabs were on the Temple Mount when we arrived at the Western Gate. Their leaders stated that they would attack any Jew who went up on the Temple Mount. A few even tried to attack us on the way to the Temple Mount but Israeli soldiers arrested them. However, on the Temple Mount, the Israeli security authorities decided to close the gates of the Temple Mount to us or to any other Israeli during Jerusalem Day. Instead of arresting those who acted with violence, they preferred to give in to these enemies who are full of hatred. It was a sad moment; yet, at the same time, it gave us the encouragement and strength to challenge the weakness of our leadership and to do everything possible to stop the abomination on the most holy place of Israel. We prayed the holy day prayers for Jerusalem Day near the Western Gate. Then we prayed and read from Psalms 79 and 126. This was the conclusion of this event but not the last of our devoted battle for the G-d of Israel, the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the Promised Land of Israel.
On Tisha B'Av, the day commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement and Jews everywhere mourned these terrible events. The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 bce. 70 years later the Temple was rebuilt on the same location on Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem by the Israelites who returned from the exile. Five hundred and eight-six years later, in 70 ce, the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans who burned the Temple and destroyed the city of Jerusalem, ending Jewish independence.
The prophets of Israel prophesied that in the end-times G-d would restore Israel's independence as He brought the Jewish people back to their Land. They also prophesied the Third Temple would be built on the same place on the Temple Mount as the First and Second Temples had stood. Zechariah boldly declared that the day of mourning and fasting of Tisha B'Av would become a holy day of joy.
The rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 opened these prophetic end-times. An even greater advance was made during the Six Day War of 1967 as the gates of fulfilment of these prophecies were opened. The sinful mistake of the Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Da'an, of deciding to give the Temple Mount back to the Arabs, delayed the fulfilment for another 31 years. In Israel, we now feel that the delay will not be for much longer.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement marched to the Temple Mount on Tisha B'Av. It was a day of mourning because of the destruction of the two Temples and also because of the current situation on the Temple Mount. The members of the Movement came to the Western Gate of the Temple Mount in sackcloth and ashes and chains as a symbol of their mourning for the destruction of the Temple and to protest the terrible abomination and shameful situation on the Temple Mount at this time. Again the gates of the Temple Mount were closed to us. Israeli authorities preferred to close the gates on this important day because the Arabs threatened to riot. Unfortunately this weakness, resulting from pressure from the government of the United States, the UN and other world organizations, left the Holy Hill of G-d orphaned from its people and in the prison of its enemies. The Temple Mount Faithful decided to demonstrate against this shameful situation. We spoke before the people of Israel from the Western Gate of the Temple Mount. The members of the Movement sat on the ground in front of the Western Gate and read the Book of Lamentations and other prayers of mourning. Then we marched in the Old City and around all the gates of the Temple Mount with about 500 Israelis. At every gate we prayed for the rebuilding of the Temple and other prayers of mourning and read from Lamentations. It was a very sad day.
The feeling of everyone was that we are close to realizing the hopes of building the Third Temple. We could feel the presence of the G-d of Israel and His blessings among us when we marched. G-d promised that on Tisha B'Av, the day when the two Temples were destroyed, He will build the Third Eternal Temple. G-d is faithful to His covenant and promises to the people of Israel and we know that He will fulfill this promise.
On October 7, 1998, The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement brought the cornerstone for the Third Temple to the gates of the Temple Mount. Days before, the Arabs, who still control the Temple Mount, put pressure on the Israeli authorities not to allow the Faithful to lay the cornerstone on the Temple Mount. They threatened to cause a violent riot if it took place. Unfortunately, the Israeli authorities decided to give in to their threats and closed the gates of the Temple Mount before the date chosen for laying the cornerstone. At the same time, they allowed, even encouraged, the Faithful to bring the cornerstone to the City of David very close to the gates of the Temple Mount and then to carry the cornerstone around the walls of the Temple Mount and the Old City seven times. This showed the desire of the authorities in Israel and the people of Israel to see the fulfilment of the historical dream of seeing the rebuilding of the Temple. It is just spiritual and political weakness which caused the authorities to make the decision to give in to the Arab threats and not to trust in the G-d of Israel. We are afraid that a lot of the problems of Israel today are a result of this weakness. This is exactly as the prophet Haggai said: "Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying, 'This people say that the time has not yet come, the time that the Lord's house should be built'. Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 'Is it time for you, yourselves, to dwell in your well timbered houses, while this house lies in ruins?' And therefore thus says the Lord of hosts; 'Consider your ways. You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you dress yourself, but there is none warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes'. Thus says the Lord of hosts; 'Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified', says the Lord. 'You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?' says the Lord of hosts. 'Because of My house that lies in ruins, and everyone of you runs to his own house. Therefore the heaven above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands'" (Haggai 1:2-11).
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement decided in any case to hold this historical event and to carry the cornerstone up to the closest location to the Temple Mount possible. Before the cornerstone was moved, we, with many other Israelis, made a pilgrimage to the Temple Mount. Near the Western Gate of the Temple Mount we held a protest against the decision to close the gates of the Temple Mount to the cornerstone. Gershon Salomon stated that the public struggle and march of the Faithful will not stop until the Islamic Arab abomination on the Temple Mount is removed. The struggle will continue until the Israeli flag flies again on the Temple Mount and the Third Temple is built. He stated that the cornerstone will soon be carried to the Temple Mount and he encouraged the Israeli authorities to trust in G-d. At the same time he encouraged the people of Israel not to fear their enemies because the G-d of Israel will soon judge them because G-d is determined to redeem the people and the land of Israel.
The events of October 7th opened a new stage in the prophetic era of Israel. Everyone who took part in the event of the laying of the cornerstone could feel the presence of G-d and the sound of the winds of history. In the early morning the cornerstone was taken by a large truck from the traffic circle where it usually sets. The truck was covered with Israeli flags and a chuppah made of prayer shawls. The cornerstone was transported to the Golden Gate of the Temple Mount and to the City of David below the southern gates of the Temple Mount.
From the Western Gate the big crowd marched to the City of David preceded by a priest dressed in original garments from the Temple. This ceremony and march was done exactly as in Biblical times when the high Priest and Levites marched from the Temple followed by thousands of pilgrims in a joyous ceremony. The cornerstone waited for the Faithful in the City of David at the same place where King David brought the Ark of the Covenant. When the crowd reached the truck they circled the stone seven times with prayers, music and songs from the Psalms. Many shofars were blown during this time. Gershon Salomon stood with the cornerstone and prayed for the dedication of the cornerstone. He then spoke the prayer King Solomon prayed when he had completed the building of the First Temple. Everyone could feel the presence of G-d and the spirit of King Solomon.
After this the crowd marched with the cornerstone to the Pool of Siloam. At the pool, we performed the same ceremony our forefathers had conducted in Biblical times. The same prayers were said and the Psalms of Assents were also read. A special excitement was felt when Gershon Salomon read Psalm 122: "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go into the house of the Lord'. Our feet shall stand inside your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city which is bound firmly together; there the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. For thrones of judgment were set there, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those who love you shall prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, 'Peace be within you'. Because of the house of the Lord our G-d I will seek your good."
The priest drew the holy water from the pool and all the crowd marched after him with the Israeli flags to the cornerstone where the water was poured out on the cornerstone. (In the Temple times the water was poured on the altar.) The priest prayed for a blessed year with rain. He also prayed other blessings for Israel and for the whole world. Then everyone followed the cornerstone to the southern gates of the Temple Mount. The cornerstone circled the walls of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem seven times with the prayer that the walls of hostility against the rebuilding of the House of G-d and the people of Israel will fall exactly as it happened with Jericho when Joshua ben Nun circled the walls of Jericho seven times and blew the shofar, just as the Faithful did on this day.
This special godly event ended near the Western Gate of the Temple Mount with prayers and the blowing of the shofar. We asked G-d to open the gate of the Temple Mount for the cornerstone of His House. This historical event will never be forgotten by G-d and Israel. One day soon it will be written in the book of the G-d of Israel and the books of history that it was the major opening of the building of the Third Temple which we believe will soon be a reality in the life of Israel.
On December 20, 1998, the seventh day of Hanukkah, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement carried the torch of the Maccabees from the tombs of the Maccabees in Modi'in to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. We felt that the heritage of the Maccabees should be a foundation for Israel at this critical time. The Temple Mount must be liberated and the Holy Hill of G-d purified from the terrible abomination and foreign control just as the Maccabees did. The long Islamic Arab occupation of the Temple Mount which symbolizes the continuance of the destruction of the House of G-d should be immediately terminated by the Government of Israel. This is the only real process which will bring real peace to Israel and the nations.
We decided at Hanukkah to bring this word of G-d to all Israel. We decided to remind everyone how the Maccabees responded when they were asked concerning those who were making war against the Land. They answered that this land was given to Israel in an eternal covenant by G-d Himself. This land was forcibly occupied by the Greeks but G-d gave the land back by the hand of the Maccabees.
In the early morning we came to the tombs of Mattathiau and his five sons and lit the Hanukkiah menorah. We read the message of the Maccabees to all Israel. We swore to continue what they started -- to purify the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land of Israel from foreign enemies. We could feel the presence of the Spirit of G-d and the Maccabees which encouraged us to continue the historical struggle of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement. From the tombs we took the torch and menorah along the same route as the Maccabees through the mountains of Bet Horon to Jerusalem. There we demonstrated in front of Orient House. We brought the Word of G-d and the Maccabees saying that G-d would destroy all the enemies who are trying to stop His decision to redeem Israel and to accomplish His end-time prophetic plans with Israel. We symbolically canceled the Oslo and Wye Plantation agreements and the foreign so-called "Palestinian Authority". We also relit the Hanukkiah from the torch of the Maccabees to bring the light of G-d in the darkness of this place. We did the same in front of the Damascus Gate of the Old City where we danced and sang Psalms. We then marched along the streets of the Old City to the Temple Mount. The sadness at the destruction of the Temple Mount immediately appeared before our eyes when the Arabs closed the gates before us. They thought that in this way they could stop the prophetic end-time march of the G-d of Israel back to His House. They are deluded. No one can stop the G-d of Israel. Again we relit the big Hanukkiah made of silver from the torch of the Maccabees.
From the Temple Mount we went to Har Homah which is the new area in Jerusalem where Israel has decided to build. We relit the Hanukkiah on the beautiful mountains of Har Homah which is close to Bethlehem, the city where King David was born. We felt the presence of the greatest king of Israel.
We prayed to G-d and asked Him to fulfill our campaign to rebuild His House on the Temple Mount. This will open a new godly era for all the world. Then all the nations will flow to the highest of all the mountains, to the House of G-d on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the capital of G-d and Israel. There they will thank Him and worship Him. They will recognize Him as the only living eternal G-d of all the universe. All of this is soon to be fulfilled. Let all of us show G-d that we are ready to do everything for Him and His prophetic end-time plans.
On Wednesday, March 31, 1999, the day before Pesach, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement performed a symbolic Pesach sacrifice on a hill overlooking the Temple Mount. This is the third Pesach that the Faithful Movement has performed this sacrifice. Weeks beforehand we prepared everything that is connected with this unique event so that it would be done exactly according to the godly Biblical law. According to the Torah, the Pesach sacrifice can only be performed on the Temple Mount. In Biblical times, the pilgrims brought the sacrifice with them to Jerusalem from all the parts of Israel. Beginning at noon on the day before Pesach, the sacrifice was brought to the priest and sacrificed on the Altar and then taken and roasted by the families in a special way on a spit which is explained in the Scriptures. For details of our sacrifice, see our website.
Even though we could not get permission to make the sacrifice on the Temple Mount, we decided to perform the sacrifice in a place which is close to the Holy of Holies and overlooks the Temple Mount. We very clearly declared that this sacrifice was purely a symbolic Pesach sacrifice which is only an opening for the real sacrifice which we will do on the Temple Mount next year, G-d willing, in the rebuilt Temple.
The sacrifice was performed by a priest according to the Law. The sacrifice was brought from one of the settlements in Samaria to symbolize the eternal link between Samaria, Judea, Gaza and Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as an undivided part of the promised land of Israel. During this special event the priest prayed the prayers and commandments from the Torah which are connected to the Pesach sacrifice. A special oven was used to roast the sacrifice while the members who took part in this unique event sang songs and thanked the G-d of Israel.
We could feel the significance of this godly, prophetic moment. It moved our hearts and the hearts of many Israelis who heard of this event through the media. One day soon, the Pesach sacrifice will be performed in the Third Temple. Everyone of those who participated in the event received a part of the sacrifice and used it at their own Seder tables. For the first time, everyone of them ate a real Pesach sacrifice, exactly as it has to be done in the original Seder. In this way, we renewed a deep and significant link between us and all the generations before us since the generation of Moses and the exodus when the first Pesach sacrifice was held. We shall do our best to ensure that next Pesach the sacrifice will be performed in the rebuilt Temple on Mt. Moriah and that all of you will be with us in this exciting moment.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement made a pilgrimage to the Temple Mount during the festival of Pesach to fulfill G-d's commandment. A second purpose of the pilgrimage was to carry a very clear message to everyone in Israel and the world that the long foreign Arab occupation of the Temple Mount is soon to be finished. We proclaimed this message at a time when the Islamic Arab enemies of Israel, with other powers in the world suc as the UN, the EU, the Pope and President Clinton, want to take the Temple Mount and Jerusalem away from Israel and make it either an Islamic city or an international city.
During the festival of Pesach, the members of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement drove to the fields of Israel and cut the Omer, the first wheat that was reaped from the fields of Israel. It was so special to do this because, in one moment, it brought to our hearts the experience of our forefathers when they brought, as G-d commanded, the first wheat to the Temple before any Israeli used it and offered it to G-d on the Altar. We carried the Omer with us to the Temple Mount despite the fact that the Temple is not yet rebuilt. Years ago, we decided to renew all the traditions which were connected with worship and have a deep linkage to the Temple. The carrying of the Omer is one of these important traditions. We prayed the Pesach prayers and sang the Hallel Psalms which the Levites sang in the Temple. The priests who came with us anointed the Omer to be an offering to the G-d of Israel. We also brought twelve sacks of earth to the Temple Mount which were taken from the areas of the twelve tribes in Israel. This earth was carried to the Temple Mount to symbolize the deep eternal linkage between the twelve tribes of Israel and the land of Israel with the Temple Mount.
After the march to the Temple Mount, the Faithful marched in the streets of the Old City and to all the gates of the Temple Mount. We felt the deep significance of these great moments and the major privilege to be the generation and the movement which G-d anointed to fulfil His prophetic, end-time plans. I hope that everyone who reads these feelings that I am trying to share will support us with their hearts and with their dreams. We march in the name of all of you because G-d taught us that He will redeem Israel in the end-times as an opening of a new age of redemption for all the nations and that Israel will serve all the nations by being, as G-d commanded them to be, a holy nation, a kingdom of priests and a treasure above all the nations and to bring the light of G-d to all of them (Exodus 19:5-6).
When we came to the gate in the Eastern Wall of the Temple Mount, the gate which is in front of the Holy of Holies, we all immediately felt very strongly the holiness of this place and the presence of the G-d of Israel. With the flags in our hands and the blowing of the shofars, we prayed and read one of the most exciting Psalms of Ascents, Psalms 126.
I want to say to all the world, "show your love to the G-d of Israel at this special time through His people, Israel, exactly as He commanded you when He promised Abraham, 'I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who course you'. Give your support to the people of Israel in these exciting and critical times. Never forget that the Temple will only be built in Jerusalem on Mt. Moriah and Mashiach ben David will be a Jew and He will redeem Israel and all of you. Do not try to stop this end-time prophetic event which G-d is doing in Israel".
To the enemies of Israel, I want to say, "Don't have illusions that G-d and the people of Israel will allow you to take Jerusalem from Israel and destroy the eternal capital again. No more! G-d is determined to make the vision of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Zechariah and Jeremiah and all the other prophets a reality in our lifetimes. Check yourself and stop the evil pressures that you are putting on Israel today because the time of G-d's judgment is soon to come".
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is determined to continue our marches to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem and to continue our efforts, activities and preparations for the rebuilding of the Temple.
Future Events of the Faithful
Listed below are some of the activities planned by the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement. If you plan to be in Israel during any of theses dates and would like to join us on these events, please contact our office in Jerusalem so that we can give you more details.
The Rebuilding of the Temple
All of our activities are dedicated to this major goal. We shall continue to channel all our efforts to make this a reality. We know that the rebuilding is coming quickly. When we see what G-d is doing with the people and land of Israel at this exciting time, our conclusion is that G-d is going to complete the big, end-time event that He started with Israel in 1948. The activities of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement are an important factor in G-d's timing because the G-d of Israel always expected the co-operation of the people of Israel with His plans and activities. Years ago we decided to act accordingly in the name of all the people of Israel. We hope and pray that very soon G-d will give us the privilege of bringing this testimony to the whole world.

The Rock of Abraham and Isaac on the Temple Mount
The most exciting moment in the Six Day War of 1967 was the restoration of the rock of Abraham and Isaac on the Temple Mount to Israel as Israeli soldiers liberated the Temple Mount. They found the holy rock covered by the Dome of the Rock which was built by the Moslems at the end of the 7th century when they occupied Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
For thousands of years this rock was the most holy place on the Temple Mount after the Holy of Holies. In Hebrew this rock was always called the Even haShtiah. This name was passed down from the very old Jewish tradition which maintained that when G-d created the universe, He created this rock first in heaven and brought it from there, and then He created the rest of the universe. According to tradition this was the first place to be seen after the Flood receded. Mt. Moriah and the rock in the midst of it were also, according to tradition, the site of the Garden of Eden. This is the rock where G-d sent Abraham to sacrifice His son Isaac. Also according to tradition, when the children of Israel were attacked by their enemies they assembled around the rock. From this position no one could defeat them. After liberating Jerusalem and Mt. Moriah, King David, the greatest king of Israel, located the Ark of the Covenant on this rock and dedicated it to be the site of the Temple.
There are two theories as to the location of the rock in relation to the First and Second Temples. Former Chief Rabbi of Israel, Shlomo Goren, surveyed the Temple Mount immediately after the Six Day War and concluded that the rock had been the site of the Altar of Sacrifice. A second theory was proposed by the Israeli archaeologist, Yigal Yadin, who said that the rock was located in the holy of Holies. The Mishna states that the Ark was originally positioned on this rock and on Yom Kippur the High Priest put incense on the rock in front of the Ark. For the 2,000 years since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 ce, the rock has been the focus of all the desires, hopes and prayers of the Jewish people for G-d's redemption of Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple.
Under the rock there are steps which lead down to a mysterious cave. This cave is mentioned in the Mishnah and Talmud as being employed in the Temple worship. At the end of the cave there is a tunnel which is closed off with a stone door. According to a very old tradition, this door leads to the secret room where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden before the destruction of the First Temple. According to tradition, Moslems who tried to open this door died on the spot and no further attempts were made to open it.
On the 4th day of the Six Day War, I stood before this rock with my unit, the brave Israeli paratroopers who liberated the Temple Mount. We stood with tears in our eyes; tears of joy and excitement because we had the privilege of standing before the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at this place. We felt the presence of G-d and we could hear His voice saying, "I brought you back to this most holy place to rebuild My House and to bring Mashiach ben David". We felt a very deep responsibility for the privilege that G-d had given us.
Today this rock is the focus of the struggle of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement for the re-liberation of the Temple Mount and the rebuilding of the Temple. This rock will stand in the midst of the Third Temple.
The destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70 ce did not destroy the deep link between the Israeli people and the Temple Mount. In the first centuries, Jews who survived the destruction tried to go up onto the Temple Mount and to perform private sacrifices, especially the Passover sacrifice. Rabbi Akiva, who was the leading rabbi of the Bar Kochva revolt, 132-135 ce, with other rabbis, walked on the Temple Mount and saw foxes coming out of the ruins of the Temple. All the other rabbis started to cry. However, Rabbi Akiva was happy because he felt that if half of the prophecy of Jeremiah was fulfilled, he knew that the other part of the prophecy would also be fulfilled. The Byzantine ruler, Julian, tried to rebuild the Temple in 361 and 363 ce but fire came up from the ground and stopped the work. Jews understood this to be a sign from G-d that the Temple should only be built by Jews.
Historical evidence shows that synagogues existed on the Temple Mount until the 7th century. When the Moslems occupied the Temple Mount in 638 ce, they found a synagogue at the southern end of the Temple Mount. Sixty years later, the Moslems destroyed this synagogue and built the Al Aqsa mosque in its place. The Jews were allowed to build their synagogue closer to the site of the Holy of Holies but later the Moslems destroyed this synagogue to build the Dome of the Rock. Later a synagogue was built closer to the Western Wall. This synagogue remained for more than 400 years. Prayers in this synagogue were regarded as taking the place of sacrifices. Later the foreigners who controlled the Temple Mount and Jerusalem forbad the Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. They destroyed the synagogue and allowed them to pray only near the Western Wall.
After the Six Day War, the Temple Mount Faithful Movement started its efforts to build a synagogue on the Temple Mount. Later the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Mordechai Eliyahu, also advocated the building of a synagogue on the Temple Mount. When he met the board of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement he suggested that the synagogue be built on the Temple Mount close to the Eastern Wall. He wanted the synagogue to be higher than the mosque and with the part facing the Holy of Holies to be of glass so that people could see that area when they prayed in that direction. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement soon realized that the time of a synagogue on the Temple Mount belonged to the age of exile. Now is the time for the Israeli Government to remove the shrines of foreign pagan domination on the Temple Mount and to build the Third Temple. This is what the G-d of Israel expects of Israel today. Our campaign to rebuild the Temple started immediately after the Six Day War.
The gates of the Temple Mount are among the most exciting parts of the Temple Mount. Archeological digs started after the Six Day War show that in the Biblical era there were ten gates in the walls of the Temple Mount. All were discovered after the Six Day War. Some of these gates had been closed by the Arabs through the ages; two are still under the ground in the Eastern Wall of the Temple Mount.
The main gates on the Temple Mount were in the Southern Wall and were called the Hulda Gates after the prophetess who used to prophesy in front of these gates. There were two gates; one, a double gate, was at the western end of the wall and the other, a triple gate, was at the eastern end of the wall. Both are closed up with stones. Pilgrims entered through the triple gate. After going to the Temple, they exited through the double gate. A part of the beautifully designed arch on the double gate still exists. After the Six Day War the steps which led up to the Hulda gates were uncovered. It is exciting to walk on these steps where millions of our forefathers, including the kings of Israel and the prophets, all walked.
There were two gates in the Eastern Wall. One, the Mercy Gate, was one of the most beautiful gates in the Temple Mount. It is on the northern end of the wall. This gate was closed by the Arabs a few hundred years ago because they knew that the Messiah would enter through this gate. They also located a Moslem cemetery in front of the gate in order to prevent the entry of the Messiah. This gate is commonly known today in non-Jewish circles as the Golden Gate. South of this gate was the gate which was known as the Shoshan Gate. This gate was in a direct line with all the gates of the Temple and also with the Holy of Holies. Every morning when the sun rose, it entered the Holy of Holies through this gate. The Shoshan gate was also used for the Scapegoat and other purposes connected with the worship in the Temple. Today this gate is covered with earth.
There were four gates in the Western Wall. The southernmost gate today lies under the gate which is called the western gate of the Temple Mount. This gate led to the colonnade on the southern end of the Temple Mount. North of this in the Hasmonean Tunnel is the Priestly Gate which was a special entrance for the priests so that they could maintain their extra purification by avoiding contact with the pilgrims. Behind this gate there is a beautiful tunnel which led immediately to the Holy of Holies and the secret room where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden. I had the privilege to walk in this tunnel with the rabbi of the Western Wall, Rabbi Yehuda Getz, zt"l. We came so close to the Holy of Holies and the Ark of the Covenant. It was one of the most special moments in my life.
There were two gates in the Northern Wall. One was the Tedi Gate. The other gate was called the Gate of the Children of Trans-Jordan. It was used by the Israelites who came from that area.
These beautiful gates are part of the plans for the Third Temple and they will be restored to their former glory and purposes.
Along with the digs in the area of the southern wall of the Temple Mount, a most mysterious and exciting remain from the Temple Mount complex was discovered. There were two mysterious tunnels which had been dug into the rock during the Biblical era. In the sides of the tunnels there were holes which were used to hold candles. In the tunnel a Mikvah (ritual bath) was also found. One of the archaeologists searched the Mishna and found that the Mishna spoke of these tunnels. These tunnels, which King Herod had dug, were used by the priests who lost their purification while performing the worship in the Temple. If that happened, they immediately went to the tunnels which, although they were outside the Temple Mount, could be entered from within the Temple Mount. In these tunnels they entered the Mikvah, purified themselves and then returned to the Temple and continued worship. It is important to mention that inside the Temple Mount the purification of people, and especially the priests, was strongly maintained according to the law of the Torah. The tunnels were dug in a loop which returned to the Temple Mount.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement wants to thank you so much for your continued generous financial support. Your support gives the Movement the ability to perform her activities and realize her goals. Allow us to share with you that all of us act on a voluntary basis and that the only payment for our work is the wonderful privilege that G-d gives us to act for His holy end-time purposes. It is such a great privilege that many generations before us desired to be in our place, yet, G-d has given us this privilege. We are very thankful to Him for this. You should know that in these circumstances, every cent of your donations is used for our common goals.
We want to share with you the following broad details of the directions and activities for which your donations were used over the last year.
| 33.4% | Used for the special events, activities and educational and youth activities conducted by the Movement |
| 14.1% | Office disbursements and postage. |
| 52.5% | Funds transferred to savings and used for the following purposes: |
1. Purchase of a house in the Old City close to the Temple Mount which will be used as a center for the preparations for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. We continue to raise funds for this important project as it is still not in our financial ability to acquire this property. The costs are very high. This house will serve as a spiritual, educational and research center1 and for the day-to-day activities of the Movement. This will be an international center open to everyone. Doing our best to save as much as possible toward this goal is so important.
2. Architects costs for drawing up plans and research for the design of the Temple.2
3. The needs for the Temple construction.3
4. Construction of the Golden Menorah.3
5. Preparations and expenses for a permanent exhibition of the Temple vessels and garments including unique donations of silver and gold for the Temple, copies of special correspondence and a full list of donors which will be placed in our exhibit as an eternal memorial.
1 The spiritual center near the Temple Mount. We are continuing our efforts to purchase a house close to the Temple Mount as a center for the activities and as a bridge to the Temple Mount. It will also be a place for prayer, inspiration, study, research and preparation before going up to the Temple Mount and the Temple. We know that time is very short and the need for this house is very pressing. Every donation for this important purpose is very much appreciated.
2 Plans for the Third Temple. We continue our efforts for the architectural and other plans for the Third Temple. Again, we know that time is very short and we want to be ready. All necessary financial efforts will be done for this purpose.
3 Needs for the Temple and Golden Menorah. We do not have enough words to thank our friends who have so generously sent coins and pieces of gold and silver for the Temple construction, for the Golden Menorah and for other vessels for the Third Temple. We were so excited here in Jerusalem when we received these holy donations for the house of G-d and the Temple Menorah. Immediately we opened the books of Ezra and Nehemiah and read the message from our forefathers as to how people donated gold and silver for the Second Temple as it was in the First Temple. The same happened with the dear people who donated jewelry for the Third Temple. This was for us an important encouragement and like a message from the G-d of Israel that we are doing the right thing and that He is blessing our holy work to rebuild the Temple. He spoke to the hearts of people all over the world to do this and to have a part in His house.
Many thanks to all the members and friends who continue to generously give financial support toward our campaign for the building of the Third Temple. Each donation and offering gives the movement the ability to carry out our daily activities of this holy work and brings us closer to the fulfilment of our common godly cause. We are sure that G-d will continue to move the hearts of people to join us in this holy work. This year is more critical than at any time in the past and the Movement will be involved in even more activities. We will continue to voluntarily do our work with all our dedication and devotion. Everyone that has done so much to help us has an important part in the most important cause in history; the rebuilding of the house of G-d in Jerusalem. Soon we shall stand together before G-d in His rebuilt house and we shall thank Him for the great privilege that He gave us. Thank you so much and may the G-d of Israel bless you.
