Judah People " Rebuilding The Third Temple "

  • 0
The Roman emperor Julian (331-363) had planned, but was later canceled, to allow the Jews to rebuild the "Third Temple", as part of its program throughout the empire to restore / revive the local religions. There is reason to suspect that Julian wanted to rebuild the "Third Temple" to the goal itself is lifted himself into a god, and not to worship the God of the Jews worship. Rabbi Hilkiyah, one of the leading rabbis of the time, Julian refused the money, saying that the Gentiles should not participate in the rebuilding of the temple.



However, not all rabbis agree on what will happen to the Temple rebuilt it. Traditionally considered that the institute animal sacrifices will be revived, according to the rules in Leviticus and the Talmud. But there is another opinion, from Maimonides, that God deliberately has transferred Jews from sacrifice to prayer, because prayer is a higher form of worship.


So, some rabbis argued that the sacrifice is not performed again in the rebuilt temple. Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, first chief rabbi of the Jewish community in Israel, in the period before the country was formed, said that animal sacrifices will not be done again. But this view is not followed by most rabbis. One of them is a Haredi rabbis.


(Rabbi Kook's view of worship in the temple is sometimes misunderstood. When people read in passing part of the "Olat Ri'iah" It would appear that only grain offerings will be offered in the Temple worship restored. To understand the Rabbi Kook correctly position on this issue, we need to read a related essay from "Otzarot Hari'iah"). Small handful of Jewish groups to build the Third Temple construction at this time, but most Jews oppose it, for various reasons. Most religious Jews believe that the Temple should only be rebuilt in the messianic period, and therefore too arrogant when people "as if" force the hand of God to build it. Furthermore, there are many requirements associated with the sanctity of the ritual they had built, so the construction of the temple was practically impossible.


Many Jews who oppose the construction of this temple because of negative reactions from Muslims that might come up. Suppose that the building was completed buildings that are considered sacred in Islam which currently stands at the site of the Holy Mount, it would appear that the suspicion of such a building project would ultimately destroy the buildings and replaced by the Temple which was founded back in there .


Various anti-Semitic views


The problem about the status of a third Temple overwhelmed by the mystery, uncertainty, controversy, and debate, but all are rooted in the texts of the Hebrew Scriptures, as well as in scholarship and traditional Jewish prayers.


From Jewish circles



  • Orthodox Jews
Jewish Orthodox branch of Judaism is the religion they follow orders, are drawn from the Torah of Moses with a very tight, not uncommon in the literal and not adjust to the times. In Israel, there are approximately 800,000 Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Judaism believes and expects that the Temple would be rebuilt and the sacrificial worship, known as korbanot will again be practiced with the rebuilding of the Third Temple.



  • Conservative Judaism
Conservative Judaism has modified their prayers. Prayer books they expect the restoration of the temple, but does not invoke the restoration of animal sacrifices. Most of the script associated with the sacrifice was replaced with the Talmudic teaching that good works are now functioning as a sin. In the main prayer, Amidah, the Hebrew idiom, na'ase ve'nakriv (we will present and sacrifice) is now amended to read asu ve'hikrivu (they presented and sacrificed), to show that animal sacrifice is a practice in the past. Application to "sacrifice by fire to Israel" was abolished accepted.



  • Reform Judaism
Reform Judaism does not demand the restoration or rebuilding of institutions offering the Temple, although some of the prayer book of this group began to move to the hope of rebuilding the Temple as an option.






Christian views of the Group



  • Protestant view
The dominant view within Protestant Christians is that animal sacrifices in the Temple for sacrifice is a picture of what Jesus did later for the sins of all people, through his death. Therefore, they believe that the existence of the Temple is a physical as well as its rituals are not necessary anymore.


Protestants who believe in the rebuilding of the Temple in the future (eg, the dispensationalists argue that the sacrificial system was not completely abolished by Jesus' sacrifice for human sin, but remains a ceremonial lesson materials for confession and forgiveness (similar to the baptism of water and Holy Communion is now), and thus animal sacrifices are still necessary for the cleansing rituals and celebrations for the deed and thanksgiving to God. the dispensationalists believe that is what will happen with the Second Coming of Christ when Jesus rules the earth from Jerusalem.



  • View of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox
Catholic churches and Orthodox believe that the Eucharist, which they believe to be consubstantial with self-sacrifice of Christ on the cross, much better than merely preparatory sacrifices in the temple, as described in Hebrews. They also believe that the Christian church buildings where the Eucharist is celebrated is the legitimate successor of the temple, until the church buildings they are sometimes called "temples". Therefore they do not consider important the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem in the future.



  • View Restorasionis Mormon (LDS)
Joseph Smith, Jr.. teaches that not only the Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt, but that its equivalent, a temple to another, will be built in the United States. This belief is held by more than 12 million members of various variants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS Church"). Place the prophesied that the Temple will be built is in Independence, Missouri; this site are the property of Church of Christ (Temple Lot). Thus, the land upon which is expected by the Mormon Church to be built the Temple, not currently owned by the Mormon Church. Initially, the Temple in Independence is planned to be built in the 1830s.


Construction of the Temple by the Mormon Church was postponed to await a more opportune time. A subsequent attempt to build this temple by one branch of the Mormon Church in the late 1920s did not materialize, because when it came to pass the Great Depression. Temple This temple is also known as the New Jerusalem, or Zion, and in the vicinity of a beautiful city to be built. Animal sacrifices are not mentioned explicitly in the sacred books, but books of the Doctrine and Covenants ps. 13:1 refers to the period when the "sons of Levi offer sacrifice back to God in truth."


Islamic View



Muslims believe that there is truly a temple built by Solomon come back, only they call it the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Bait AlMaqdis [Temple / Temple Ha Mikhdash] or mosque Illiya '. In addition to never be the center of prayer, Baitul Maqdis or this temple also has a distinctive among Muslims.


Prizes reward oil and prayer in Baitul Maqdis. Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said about the glory of this holy place in his saying to Maimunah, one of the female race when he asked: "Messenger of Allah, what happens in the Temple AlMaqdis?", He replied: "That is the land where the resurrection and the collected humans, berziarahlah there, and salatlah in it, because the reward a thousand times more than any other place of prayer - except the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque -. "Maimunah asked again:" What if I can not menziarahinya? ", the Prophet said:" Please send a gift of oil to light the lights, whoever did it as if menzarahinya "(Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud)


BaitulMaqdis a safe place of Dajjal. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Dajjal will live on earth for forty days, his power reaches every corner of the earth, but he can not enter the four holy mosques; Mosque, the Prophet's Mosque, Masjid Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ath-Thur "(Narrated by Ahmad).


Prayer in BaitulMaqdis can cleanse sins. Ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "When Sulaiman bin Dawood has completed construction of the temple, he prayed to God with three applications, namely a fair law that he used to judge human beings, the greatest empire that no one is given thereafter, and that anyone who pilgrimage to the mosque (temple) is the intention to pray in it undoubtedly get the forgiveness of sins as clean as a baby that was born from his mother ", he continued:" Two of the first request has been granted, and I hope so Similarly for the third petition "(Narrated by Ahmad and Haitsami)


In the Chronicles (Prayer of Solomon 6:12-4212 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire congregation of Israel and spread out his hands. 13 For Solomon had made a bronze platform seven and a half feet [a] long, seven and a half feet [b] wide, and four and a half feet [c] high and put it in the court. He stood on it, knelt down in front of the entire congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven. 14 He said : LORD God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven or on earth, keeping His gracious covenant with Your servants who walk before You with their whole heart. 15 You have kept what You promised to Your servant, my father David. You spoke directly [to him], and You fulfilled [Your promise] by Your power, as it is today. 16 Therefore, LORD God of Israel, keep what You promised to Your servant, my father David : You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons guard their way to walk in My Law as you have walked before Me. 17 Now, LORD God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant David. 18 But will God indeed live on earth with man? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built. 19 Listen [d] to Your servant's prayer and his petition, LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant prays before You, 20 so that Your eyes watch over this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name; and so that You may hear the prayer Your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the petitions of Your servant and Your people Israel, which they pray toward this place. May You hear in Your dwelling place in heaven. May You hear and forgive. 22 If a man sins against his neighbor and is forced to take an oath [e] and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple, 23 may You hear in heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked by bringing what he has done on his own head and providing justice for the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness. 24 If Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy, because they have sinned against You, and they return [to You] and praise Your name, and they pray and plead for mercy before You in this temple, 25 may You hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave them and their ancestors. 26 When the skies are shut and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and praise Your name, and they turn from their sins because You are afflicting [f] them, 27 may You hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way they should walk in. May You send rain on Your land that You gave Your people for an inheritance. 28 When there is famine on the earth, when there is pestilence, when there is blight, mildew, locust, or grasshopper, when their enemies besiege them in the region of their fortified cities, [g] [when there is] any plague or illness, 29 whatever prayer or petition anyone from your people Israel might have—each man knowing his own affliction [h] and suffering, and spreading out his hands toward this temple—30 may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place, and may You forgive and repay the man according to all his ways, since You know his heart, for You alone know the human heart, 31 so that they may fear You and walk in Your ways all the days they live on the land You gave our ancestors. 32 Even for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and outstretched arm : when he comes and prays toward this temple, 33 may You hear in heaven in Your dwelling place, and do all the foreigner asks You for. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name, to fear You as Your people Israel do and know that this temple I have built is called by Your name. 34 When Your people go out to fight against their enemies, wherever You send them, and they pray to You in the direction of this city You have chosen and the temple that I have built for Your name, 35 may You hear their prayer and petition in heaven and uphold their cause. 36 When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin —and You are angry with them and hand them over to the enemy, and their captors deport them to a distant or nearby country, 37 and when they come to their senses in the land where they were deported and repent and petition You in their captors' land, saying: "We have sinned and done wrong; we have been wicked," 38 and when they return to You with their whole mind and heart in the land of their captivity where they were taken captive, and when they pray in the direction of their land that You gave their ancestors, and the city You have chosen, and toward the temple I have built for Your name, 39 may You hear in heaven, in Your dwelling place, their prayer and petitions and uphold their cause. [i] May You forgive Your people who sinned against You. 40 Now, my God, please let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place. 41 Now therefore :  Arise, LORD God, [come] to Your resting place, You and the ark [that shows] Your strength. May Your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and may Your godly people rejoice in goodness. 42 LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one; [j]  remember the loyalty of Your servant David.
