Rebuilt-temple in Jerusalem? Will we see this soon?
A Rebuilt-temple in Jerusalem. It’s remarkable to imagine that Jewish believers could someday soon start worshipping, bringing animal sacrifices, and praying once again at a rebuilt-temple in Jerusalem.

Temple Talks? Where will US, Israeli and Saudi talks lead ?

Daniel 3: The Selfie Loving King and the Fiery Furnace
Into the Fiery Furnace “Then it’s the furnace for you!” That’s the sentence we can imagine the king yelling at his subjects when they refused his commands.
