Re: "Temple Institute to Build Sacrificial Altar on Tisha B'av "

This Link may be of some interest to those of you that may be curious about what is going on (as far as "religion" is concerned) in Israel: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132630

The men of the "Temple Institute" in Israel {http://www.templeinstitute.org/main.htm} have already built "many of the vessels for the Holy Temple" - such as: the "ark"; the "menorah" (a candelabrum having seven branches); the "laver"; the "fleshhook"; and many other vessels for use in the Temple. They are now going to embark on a project to build the "Altar" (of course the "Altar" cannot be built on the Temple site - YET).

Those involved in the construction of the "Altar" say: "We are building an altar of the minimum possible size so that we will be able to transport it to the Temple when it is rebuilt."

We may not SEE it; we may not be AWARE of it; and we may not even CARE - but God is preparing His people (Israel) for His return. He is about DONE with us - His undeserving and thankless people (the church of God).

It absolutely amazes me as to how the church of God has followed in the nation of Israel's footsteps and have emulated their their covetousness; their disobedience; their rebellion; and their IDOLATRY!

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; {1 Corinthians 12:29; "pastors and teachers" - Ephesians 4:11}
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Signs of the Times among many that are pointing to the return of Christ. Which means any time now we may be gathered together to him in the clouds ever more to be with him.
