Introduction

Why All the Conflict

Over a Few Acres?

Why All The Conflict Over A Few Acres?

The Temple Mount is one of the most controversial

historical and spiritual sites known to mankind!

No single piece of land, no single spot on earth, has

ever suffered the ravages, the wars, and the massive

destructive conflicts that have taken place on the one

hundred forty-five acre site of the sacred Temple Mount in

Jerusalem.

To the Jews, the Temple Mount is the holiest site in

Jerusalem, and in Jewish history. The Temple is the sacred

place that evokes stirring memories of ancient splendor,

worship, and political conflict.

To the Christians, the Temple Mount represents part

of their own sacred tradition; and they view it as

historically and prophetically vital and instrumental to

Christian history, and to future end-time prophetic events.

For Islam, Haram al-Sharif (the Temple Mount) is a

“Noble Sanctuary,” and after Mecca and Medina, it is the

third holiest site in all of their world. Moslems believe the

prophet Mohammed made a miraculous night journey

from Mecca to Mount Moriah, and from there ascended to

heaven.

Today, the sacred Temple (first built by Solomon, and

5

6

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

then rebuilt and enlarged by Herod) no longer exists.

Only the foundation of the Temple, called the Temple

Mount, remains. On that Temple Mount, and precisely on

the spot of the old Temple, stands the Rock of the Dome—

Haram al-Sharif—the Moslem Mosque. The Dome is to

Moslems what St. Peter’s is to Roman Catholics—

extremely sacred! I have personally walked under that 24-

karat gold Dome and looked at the breath-taking,

diamond-studded ceiling. It is an impressive sight and one

the Moslems would gladly die for, defending it against

attack or destruction.

THE PROPHETIC PROBLEM

Both Christians and Jews believe, according to the

biblical prophecies to be detailed in this book, that the

Temple must be physically rebuilt... directly on the spot

where the Rock of the Dome is now located!

The Temple must be rebuilt to prepare for the return of

the Messiah (Jesus Christ). But how can this happen? What

will happen to the Moslem Mosque? This book will

answer these and other tough prophetic questions.

Because of the obvious conflicts between the Moslems,

the Jews, and the Christians concerning this historically

sacred site, it appears the three major world religions are

on an unavoidable collision course—the direct result of the

ever-brewing conflict over the historic site of the Temple

Mount!

Can anything prevent this soon-coming spiritual

catastrophe in Israel? As you read this book, you will

discover the answer to this and other probing questions.

You will obtain a deeper spiritual understanding of the

Temple Mount, and you will come to know its unique

place prophetically in God’s final end-time plan for the

nation of Israel.

And, you will come to know God’s divine solution to a

seemingly unsolvable spiritual puzzle.

God’s faithful servant,

Chapter One

The Soon-Coming "Third"

1

Temple!

Imagine it.

Right in the heart of Jerusalem (the only city God ever

called “My city”) rests the spirit-center of the life of

Israel... the Temple Mount, the physical foundation of the

original Temple of Solomon.

The Moslems currently administer the Temple Mount

site, and they are not concerned about preserving the few

ancient steps, walls, and other remnants of the Jewish

biblical past.

In place of the Old Temple, they have built their own

worship center—the Dome of the Rock—and as far as the

Moslems are concerned, nothing will ever dislodge or

affect that sacred place of worship.

Although the Dome of the Rock is one of the most popular and most photographed sites in all of Israel, it represents the potential for a devastating religious conflict.

The Moslems have little concern for the remaining

9

10

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

rubble that lies on the grounds of that one hundred forty-

five acre site, even though that ground contains the only

known clues to the location, dimensions, and other details

of the magnificent Jewish Temple of old.

WHO BUILT THE FIRST TEMPLE?

Solomon, following the wishes of his father, David,

first built the Temple as a physical symbol to testify to and

establish the magnificent house of Israel.

The first Temple was completed in the 10th century

(B.C.), about 950 B.C.

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at

Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto

David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the

threshing floor of Oman the Jebusite.

And be began to build in the second day of the second

month, in the fourth year of his reign.

II Chronicles 3:1-2

To create a level site in the Judean hills, Phoenician

masons had to erect thick walls to retain landfill and

support the stone platform on which the original Temple

Mount and other buildings stood.

Solomon’s magnificent Temple to Israel’s God, which

is now called the First Temple by biblical historians, was

destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar who

invaded what is now Israel, in 587 B.C.

Solomon’s Temple was sacked and destroyed, and the

Israelites were forced into their half-century of Babylonian

captivity. (For more details on this period in prophetic

history, read my book, Invisible Scriptures Reveal Israel’s

Salvation.")

The Soon-Coming "Third" Temple!

11

The original Temple Mount, as constructed by Solomon, was square.

Upon their return, the Israelites, led by Nehemiah,

constructed a new, more modest Temple on the same

mount, dedicated in 515 B.C.

Then in the second century B.C., a Syrian king pillaged

the Temple. It was recaptured three years later, in 164 B.C.,

by Israelites. The restoration of the Old Temple after this

battle is marked by Jews in the celebration of Hanukkah.

12

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

THE SECOND, ENLARGED TEMPLE

King Herod almost doubled the size of

the Temple Mount, and his expansion

caused the Mount to go from a square

to more of a rectangle.

During the reign of Herod, King of Judea from 37 to 4

B.C., the Temple Mount, which had been about one

hundred seventy feet wide and five hundred feet long,

was greatly enlarged. Herod the Great approximately

doubled the size of the Temple Mount by extending the

earlier Temple Mount on the north, south, and west. He

could not extend it on the east because the land drops off

steeply to the Kidron Valley beyond the wall on that side.

The enlarged Temple Mount became the largest man-

made platform in the ancient world—the size of twenty-

four football fields, nearly one hundred forty-five acres—a

monument built to demonstrate the greatness of the Israelite

God, Yahweh.

Herod built the Temple on the very spot where the

exiles returning from Babylonia more than five hundred

years earlier had rebuilt the original Temple.

The Soon-Coming "Third" Temple!

13

Herod’s Temple measured one million square feet,

much larger than the esplanade of the Acropolis in

Athens. This mammoth enlargement took place shortly

before the birth of Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ time, it was

known as the Temple of Herod (because of his

enlargement and beautification work).

But Herod’s mighty monument would not stand even

one century.

In A.D. 70, Roman armies, putting down a Jewish

rebellion, stormed and dismantled the Temple, hurling its

stones over the parapets of the mount.

TEMPLE MYSTERY SOLVED!

Both the Temples described in this chapter had one

thing in common—they were built on a platform designed

to provide a level surface.

That platform became known as the Temple Mount.

Because of the massive building and rebuilding,

scholars have despaired of ever discovering the position of

the original Temple.

Until our day!

In the 1992 issue of “Biblical Archaeology Review,”

Leen Ritmeyer, combining the triple talents of historian,

writer, and architect, took on the challenge of determining

the precise location of the original Temple Mount.

Starting with a telltale clue at the base of what is today

the platform supporting the Dome of the Rock, Ritmeyer

systematically amassed the evidence he needed to

pinpoint the precise location of the Temple Mount...

precisely and squarely where the Dome of the Rock sits!

The political problems and religious conflicts this

discovery creates will be discussed in great detail later in

my book.

14

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

ONE REMNANT REMAINS

One of the only identifiable remnants of the Old

Temple complex is a portion of the western retaining wall,

now called “the Wailing Wall.”

Historically, when the Romans eventually relaxed their

ban on Jews entering the old city of Jerusalem, they

permitted them to enter once a year “to wail over its

stones.”

Thus, the term “wailing wall” was born.

Today, the Wailing Wall is an exposed section of the

ancient Western Wall of the Temple area, and is located

approximately one hundred steps in front of the Dome of

the Rock.

At its lowest visible part are the Herodian stones that

were in the wall at the time of Jesus. On top of these stones

are Byzantine and Crusader stones reaching up to the

present ground level, on which the Arab Mosque sits.

The Wailing Wall is the only remnant of the Old Jewish Temple so sacred to

the early Israelites, and to the Jews today.

The Wailing Wall is all that the Jews have left of their

ancient Temple, and it is naturally very sacred to them.

The Jews gather at the Wailing Wall and write their

prayerful petitions on little pieces of paper, which they

then stuff among the cracks in the stones.

At the Wailing Wall the Jews pray, asking their God

The Soon-Coming "Third" Temple!

15

for urgent answers to their pressing needs. It is the

ceremonial and physical symbol of the Old Temple, and of

the ancient grandeur and power that God bestowed upon

His Chosen People, the Jews.

The wailing wall is also referred to as the Western

wall, and has been a landmark that has ignited conflicts

between the Arabs and Jews for centuries. Even though

the wall has technically belonged to the Moslem

community for centuries, from the Middle Ages the Jews

have enjoyed an easement to the strip of pavement facing

the historic buttress, and the right of prayer at the Wall

itself.

During the Six-Day War in June of 1967, the Western

Wall, the Moslem holy places, including the Dome of the

Rock, all fell into Jewish hands. This meant so much to the

Jews that, before the fighting had even stopped, Rabbi

Shlomo Goren, the chief chaplain of the Israeli army,

rushed to the holy site to loose a triumphant blast on his

ram's horn. Touching the flagstones of the ancient wall,

even hardened veteran soldiers wept. When the news

flashed on the radio that the Old City, including the wall,

was in Israel's hands, the country was deluged with

cheers; and the people sang this song, Jerusalem the Golden,

which instantly became the anthem of the Six-Day War:

We have come back to the deep wells, to the marketplace

again.

The trumpet sounds on the Mount of the Temple in the

Old City.

In the caverns of the cliff glitter a thousand suns.

We shall go down to the Dead Sea again by the road to

Jericho.

Chapter Two

How Can a New Temple Be

2

Built?

To people familiar with the ancient Temple area on

Mount Moriah in Old Jerusalem, the thought of building a

new Jewish Temple must sound preposterous.

After all, it is believed that Mohammed ascended into

heaven from the great rock that rests in the very center of

their Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, which was renovated

to its present glory by Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-

1566).

But that same place, that same rock, is also sacred to

both the Jews and Christians! They believe that this rock is

the one on Mount Moriah where Abraham was told by

God to offer his son, Isaac.

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac,

whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and

offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains

which I will tell thee of.

Genesis 22:2

That same rock is also said to be the precise site of the

threshing floor which David purchased and sanctified as

the locale for the Jewish Temple (as we saw earlier in II

Chronicles 3:1).

For 4, 000 years, the Temple Mount has been one of the

most sacred spots in the history of Israel. To the Jews, it is

the only place their Temple has ever stood, or can ever

stand again!

17

18

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

The Dome of the Rock sits squarely over the site of the

front entrance to the ancient Jewish Temple.

Since the destruction of the last Jewish Temple, there

have been numerous structures built on the ruins, but

never another Jewish Temple.

The present Mosque is actually separated from most of

the Temple foundation of Jesus’ day by many feet of

rubble. Only the tip of the huge rock which was on the

summit of Mount Moriah now juts up into the Mosque.

Chapter Three

Timeless Temple Conflicts

3

Seemingly timeless conflicts abound in any study of

the history of the Old Temple.

LOCATION CONFLICTS

Many scholars believed the bedrock beneath the Dome

of the Rock once formed part of the Temple, perhaps the

base of the altar.

Other biblical historians maintain that a part of a wall

of the pre-Herodian complex has been paved over, and

that some remains of a Herodian wall, exposed in

excavations undertaken without archaeological

supervision, were dismantled.

Until recently, this debate was largely unsettled.

There was even a popular theory that the next Jewish

Temple could be rebuilt without destroying the Dome of

the Rock, because some believed the actual Temple Mount

was not where the Dome of the Rock is today.

However, the highly respected and precise research of

Leen Ritmeyer has put all of those theories to rest. Clearly,

there is no easy way out if the Temple of the Jews is to be

rebuilt.

END-TIME TEMPLE PROPHECY

The Dome of the Rock rests precisely on the spot

where the Third Temple must be built. The only way for

19

20

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

the New Temple to be constructed is for the Dome of the

Rock to be leveled.

Before the recent Ritmeyer research, biblical scholars

had two major theories about how the Jewish Temple

could be rebuilt:

OPTION ONE: The current Dome of the Rock would

somehow be destroyed. They reasoned that this could

happen through a natural disaster, such as an earthquake,

or an act of God. They argued that this would probably be

God's choice, since it would not cause Israel to be involved

in more conflicts with the Arabs.

The other alternative was that the Dome of the Rock

would be destroyed as the direct result of war. Since this

was not a pleasant option, it has not been discussed much

in biblical circles.

OPTION TWO: If the Dome of the Rock remains

untouched, then the site of the Old Jewish Temple must

not be precisely where the current Dome of the Rock is

located. This theory caused many to come forth,

attempting to prove that the Dome does not sit precisely

on the Temple Mount, but is actually located in the outer

court of the old Temple, and that a new Jewish Temple

could be built precisely where the old one was... without

destroying the Dome of the Rock.

This theory offered great hope that the new Jewish

Temple could be built without conflict, without war, and

without disaster. However, since the recent findings of

Leen Ritmeyer, this option has been put to rest.

There is only one prophetic option!

The Dome of the Rock will be destroyed, and the New

Jewish Temple will be built precisely on the location of the

Dome of the Rock.

CONTROL CONFLICTS

Timeless Temple Conflicts

21

Before June of 1967, the Jews had no sovereign control

over the Old City of Jerusalem for over two thousand, six

hundred years.

Since 1967, Israel has controlled the overall site

because of its victory in the Six-Day War. But, in keeping

with a political arrangement going back to the 18th

century, the grounds and structures are now left to the

Moslem administration (The Moslem Religious Council),

which is authorized to maintain and protect the area.

In the natural, it would seem impossible that any

Moslem administration would allow anything as drastic as

leveling and devastation to happen to their precious

Mosque.

Since the Six-Day War, the Jews have been able to do

extensive excavations all around the Temple Mount area

and under the ground level along the face of the Wailing

Wall. Dozens of cavernous rooms have been discovered

and hundreds of years of debris and refuse have been

cleaned out.

Despite these small areas of limited authority, the Jews

obviously have no power to destroy the Moslem Mosque.

Many believe it will take a natural calamity such as an

earthquake to level the Mosque.

Even if that happened, you can know that the Arabs

would violently react to a Jewish Temple being rebuilt on

what they consider their sacred spot.

There is no area for compromise in this matter from

either the Jews or the Moslems.

Today, the call for just such a rebuilding is making the

headlines. A riot on the Temple Mount ignited in late 1990

when Arabs heard that a group called “The Temple Mount

Faithful” were going to lay a cornerstone for the

rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple on the grounds.

Hoping to rebuild the ancient Jewish Temple where

22

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

the Islamic shrine now stands, a group of Israeli rabbis are

compiling computerized lists of potential priests, weaving

seamless linen robes, and reproducing a gem-studded

breastplate as described in Exodus.

“All of Jewish history, as far as we’re concerned, is one

big parenthesis until the Temple is returned, ” said Rabbi

Nahman Kahane of the Temple Institute.

The Temple Institute’s fifty rabbis and artisans have

even made Temple vessels and produced a computerized

blueprint of the shrine in preparation for rebuilding on the

site where the Temple stood until A.D. 70, when the

Romans destroyed it.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been collected

to finance the project, most of it from American Jews.

Members of the Faithful of the Temple Mount have even

marched from the Western Wall to the Pool of Siloam to

consecrate what they have designated as the cornerstone

of the Third Temple. The one-meter-cube stone, in

accordance with biblical precept, was not hewn with an

iron tool.

In short, there has been a frenzy of speculation in both

the Jewish and Gentile world about the possibility of the

Jews rebuilding their Temple today. Temple bonds have

been sold all around the world, and many Jews leave

money in their wills to Israel in anticipation of the NEW

Temple.

And the tension over this matter, between the

Moslems and Jews living in Jerusalem, continues to grow.

Chapter Four

What Does Prophecy Declare

4

As with every other prophecy concerning the Jews and

the nation of Israel, the prophecies concerning the Temple

have either already been fulfilled—or will soon be fulfilled

—in the final days of spiritual history.

FULFILLED PROPHECY

One prophecy that has already been fulfilled declared

that, for a time, the Jews would have no Temple to

complete their worship and sacrifices.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a

king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and

without an image, and without an ephod, and without

teraphim.

Hosea 3:4

Currently, since the new Temple has not yet been

rebuilt, this prophecy is still in effect.

YET TO BE FULFILLED PROPHECIES

• UNFULFILLED PROPHECY NUMBER ONE

Despite the current existence of the Dome of the Rock,

which has been on the site of the Temple Mount for the

last thirteen centuries, according to Revelation 11:1-2, a

Jewish Temple will be in existence in Jerusalem in the

closing days of the age!

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the

angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and

23

24

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which

is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is

given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread

under foot forty and two months.

Revelation 11:1-2

The apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation about

the year A.D. 95. At that time, the Temple which had been

standing in Jerusalem in Christ’s day, the so-called

“Second Temple”—was non-existent for over twenty years

preceding John’s writing.

Both the Temple and the Holy City had been leveled

by the Roman legions under Titus in A.D. 70.

What Temple, then, was John referring to in his

writings in Revelation?

There can be only one answer... a yet-to-be-built

structure!

• UNFULFILLED PROPHECY NUMBER TWO

The rebuilding of the Temple will be made politically

possible by a treaty with the Israeli government and the

head of a confederation of European nations—the

Antichrist.

By the time the Temple is built, and the sacrificial

offerings activated, much of the first three-and-a-half year

period will have been completed.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one

week ( seven years ): and in the midst of the week ( three and

one-half years ) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to

cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make

it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined

shall be poured upon the desolate.

Daniel 9:27

• UNFULFILLED PROPHECY NUMBER THREE

The Temple will be constructed on its original site.

According to the Law of Moses, the only place the

What Does Prophecy Declare

25

Jewish Temple can be built is upon Mount Moriah, where

the first two Temples were erected (II Chronicles 3:1-2).

• UNFULFILLED PROPHECY NUMBER FOUR

The Antichrist will sit in the rebuilt Temple of God, so

the rebuilding of the Temple is necessary for the

Antichrist’s later appearance there.

Daniel speaks of the Prince who will make a covenant

with the Jewish people and guarantee them religious

freedom to make sacrifices and oblations (as we saw in

Daniel 9:27).

These sacrifices can only be done in the Temple. . in

Jerusalem... in Israel.. at the precise location of the Temple

Mount!

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall

not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man

of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and

exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is

worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God ( the

Antichrist ), showing himself that he is God.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4

At this point in spiritual history, the Jews have

experienced the fulfillment of the great prophecy that their

Temple would be rebuilt, and are now practicing their

ancient worship practices. At this point, they feel they are

safely in God's hands.

However, all is not as peaceful as it seems. It is

important to remember that the Temple has been rebuilt

only by the sufferance of the Antichrist, who is now

rapidly gaining control of the world's nations. He will

become increasingly angry with the Jews, since they refuse

to grant him the worship he feels he deserves. This tension

will escalate until the Jews are once again driven from the

Temple.

• UNFULFILLED PROPHECY NUMBER FIVE

26

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

Jesus Christ will come gloriously to rule and reign

from the rebuilt Temple.

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare

the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly

come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom

ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

Malachi 3:1

During this time, with the glorified Christ and His

resurrected and reigning saints personally present, and

with Satan and his hosts out of the way, there will no

longer be any room whatsoever for intellectual doubt as to

the deity of Christ and the truth of His Word.

Nevertheless, salvation for those still on earth will

require a personal faith and commitment to Christ. In

these days of His glory, it will be difficult for those on

earth to remember and believe in Christ's humiliation and

death. That is why the animal sacrifices in the Temple are

important.

No longer are these sacrifices a substitute for the

sacrifice of Christ—which eliminated the need for any

further sacrifice. But, in this age, they become a reminder

that all are sinners, and can only be saved through the

substitutionary death of Christ for their sins. These animal

sacrifices become a memorial and reminder of the great

saving work of Christ, and become an aid and evidence of

faith.

During this one thousand year reign of Christ, the

saints will be His priests (Revelation 1:6), and will direct

both the civil government and spiritual instruction for the

millennial kings; and all resurrected saints will exercise

varied religious and political functions under His supreme

command throughout the millennium.

Chapter Five

Set Your Prophecy Watch!

5

In light of the prophetic revelations we have examined in

this book, it is clear that it is a prophetic and biblical

certainty that ultimately the Temple will be rebuilt!

It is also clear that the New Temple must be rebuilt

directly where the Dome of the Rock is today—not slightly

to the side of it as so many biblical scholars have

previously suggested.

For the Temple to be rebuilt, the Antichrist must reach

an agreement with the Arab countries to make a valid

covenant with Israel. A Jewish Temple cannot be rebuilt

without some concession to Arab sensibilities.

Christians will recognize the Antichrist when he

makes his covenant with Israel. At that time, Christians

will know a time of great trouble lies ahead.

The Antichrist will reign in Jerusalem for three and

one-half years after having broken a seven-year covenant

with Israel halfway through (as I have already shared

from Daniel 9:27).

The Antichrist will refuse to allow further sacrifices or

rituals at the Temple.

Instead, the Antichrist will commit the “abomination

of desolation” by desecrating the holy of holies by using it

as a platform to declare himself to be God, and demanding

the worship of mankind.

PROPHETIC WATCH:

27

28

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

When the Antichrist arrives on the end-time scene of

spiritual history, expect the Jewish Temple to be rebuilt!

It is into this Temple that the Antichrist will go to

proclaim that he is God. That is what Jesus called the

“abomination of desolation.”

Also, the Temple must be in place before Christ returns at

Armageddon, and... prophecy demands that the Jewish

Temple be rebuilt on the precise spot of the old Temple!

This magnificent Dome of the Rock, according to God’s Word, is doomed to

destruction so that the Third Temple can be built for the Second Coming of

Jesus Christ!

This is why the Bible speaks of a “strong covenant”

which the prophet Daniel says the Jewish people will

make with the Roman Antichrist (Daniel 9:27; Revelation

13:1-10).

In return for certain concessions from the Jews, the

Antichrist will guarantee protection for them so that they

can rebuild their Temple and reinstate their worship and

sacrifice. The religious Jews will push for this and accept

the False Prophet as the Messiah, because he helps to

secure the rebuilding of the Temple (Revelation 13:11-18).

Set Your Prophecy Watch!

29

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

You are living in the most exciting time in spiritual

history!

God has been faithful to His Word in every prophecy,

no matter what the circumstances. He said He would free

the Jews from the bondage of Egypt, and He did it!

He said He would create and restore the nation of

Israel from nothing, and He did it! He said He would

bring the Jews from every corner of the world back to

Israel, and He did it!

Now, you can rest in the assurance of His Word that

since it is declared the Temple will be rebuilt to receive the

soon-coming Messiah once again, it will be done!

Do not look at the current political circumstances. Do

not be concerned about the Mosque that currently rests on

the site of the soon-coming Third Temple!

The Word of God will prevail, and He will once again

show Himself faithful. As one of His end-time spiritual

warriors, your main responsibility in this end-time hour is

to use the words of the prophet to prepare yourself for the

end-time events God is unleashing right now.

Prepare yourself spiritually to receive Jesus back to

earth, and prepare yourself so you can minister mightily to

the lost souls of the world before Jesus comes again.

As I have shared for decades, Israel is God’s timepiece,

and now that you understand the biblical prophecies

concerning the Temple, you can gauge where we are in

these final moments of end-time history by the events

which will unfold around the eventual rebuilding of the

Temple—just as prophecy declares!

Soon Jesus will be coming again, appearing in power,

enacting a stirring end-time drama that will fulfill

thousands of years of expectation and hundreds of

30

The Jewish Temple Will Rise Once Again!

prophecies, in these last seconds of biblical history.

Yet, literally billions of people on the face of our earth

do not know Jesus is coming. They do not hear the clicking

of God's end-time clock. International events of major

prophetic proportions are unfolding around them, yet they

fail to understand the vast spiritual significance of these

end-time events.

In this end-time hour, we must intensify our energy

and our effort to reach these lost souls—to tell them that

God has a plan for their lives.

Through this book, God has revealed a portion of His

plan to you.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his

secret unto his servants the prophets.

Amos 3:7

Now, our challenge is to reveal God's plan to the lost

through our Billion Soul Crusade. Never before in our

ministry have I felt such an urgency, as God's end-time

signs unfold around the world. These signs are warnings

of the final trumpet call before Jesus Christ, the Son of

God, returns to this earth!

Through this book, you have experienced God's

revealed Word, and know how to recognize, through

spiritual eyes, the soon-unfolding events in Israel in this

exciting and dynamic end-time drama yet to unfold.

You hear the final clicking on God's end-time clock—

Israel.

It is my prayer that as that clock continues to near the

stroke of midnight, you will experience a deep burden for

the lost, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the power to

reach out—in every way possible—to the billions of lost

souls still facing an eternal death sentence, unless they

hear the life-saving news that Jesus Christ is the Messiah!

T h e r e i s a g r e a t e r a n o i n t i n g

u p o n m e n o w t h a n e v e r b e f o r e

t o p r a y f o r y o u r n e e d s .

Never before, in my more than 55 years of frontline

ministry, have I carried a deeper burden for the Body of

Christ than I do now.

I have prayed, fasted, interceded, agonized and fought
