The fact is that any effort to restore the temple in Jerusalem would be on the part of a very small minority of Jewish people. A large percent of Jews in Israel and worldwide are secular, non-religious, and many of these are actually agnostic or atheist. The government of Israel has no interest whatever in building a temple, and few religious Jews have any desire for one. Any such attempt would very likely spark a civil war within Israel itself! The Jewish people are so hopelessly divided both religiously and politically. The issues would be: Who would appoint the high priest? Would he be Sephardi or Ashkenazi? Who would appoint the Sanhedrin? Would it be run by this rabbi or that rabbi, or by a committee, representing the various factions within religious Judaism? Would the Sanhedrin appoint the government? Would the temple be consecrated as Solomon did with the sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep? On and on and on the questions go and there is no consensus anywhere in Israel! It would be a nightmare of unimaginable proportions! The Holy Spirit tells us that the Old Covenant with its priesthood, sacrifices, and temple is abolished and has passed away forever (read the book of Hebrews); now consider, precious friend of mine, with what divine genius God has also ordained the structure of society, religion, culture, and military might and posturing in the middle east so as to absolutely preclude that old covenant from ever being established in Israel again! Ever! Almighty Father, HOW GREAT THOU ART!
