According to the Old Testament, the patriarch Abraham, father of monotheism, had a son with his wife Sarah, named Isaac, who became the father of the Jewish nation with his son Jacob-Israel.
They inherited the land of Canaan, the present-day territory of Israel and Judea-Samaria.
Since the origin of the Jewish race, all peoples have attempted to physically eliminate the Jewish people, from the Egypt of Ramses, to the Persians of Nebuchadnezzar, to the Greeks of Antioch IV, to the Romans of Adrian, to the pogroms in Europe following the Black Death at the end of the 14th century, when entire communities were exterminated, as in Switzerland, where the entire Jewish population was murdered, with over 20,000 deaths, Isabella the Catholic in Spain, King Manuel Iᵉʳ of Portugal, the Russian Cossacks, the pogroms in Eastern Europe, the massacres in Russia under the various Tsars, the Nazis and today the Palestinians and Hamas.
The Holocaust and two Jewish girls deported to Auschwitz
Over the last 4,000 years, tens of millions of Jews have been killed, always in horrific conditions. The Germans and Nazis murdered over 50% of the Jewish population during the Second World War. More than a genocide, the Germans determined to eliminate the Jewish people definitively and industrially, without parallel anywhere in the world. The Germans were determined to wipe out every trace of the Jewish people from the face of the earth.
Like animals that man no longer wants to see or bear, it was despicable and unbearable. At the end of the war, in 1945, the whole world said “never again”, and yet Hamas and the Palestinians committed abominable crimes, and pogroms in Israel, on October 7, 2023, they acted like the Nazis, with savagery and barbarity beyond humanity, killing and massacring, children, babies, old people, women, men, animals belonging to Jews
The story
King David, King of Israel, received the divine message of where the Temple of Jerusalem would be built, the Temple of GOD would be built by his son, King Solomon on today’s Temple Mount, in the year 1000 BC.
King David
King Solomon’s First Temple
The 1ᵉʳ Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 BC by the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar II the Great.
Destruction of the Second Temple by Titus
The Temple would be rebuilt in the Vᵉ century on the return from the Babylonian Exile and finally embellished by King Herod at the turn of the Christian era, the Temple of Jerusalem is the center of religious and national life, the religious heart of Israel, it is the second Temple of Jerusalem.
The second Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus and Emperor Hadrian in 135 A.D., who decided to change the name of “Judea” to “Palestinia” to punish the Jewish people for rebelling against Roman rule. The city of Jerusalem suffered the same fate, being named “Alea Capitona”.
It wasn’t until 324 A.D. that Jerusalem was renamed by Emperor Constantine, who decided to Christianize the city. From the birth of Jesus in 324 A.D., Jerusalem-“Alea Capitona”-was a Jewish city, and no one took any interest in it. Even later, Christians would have several centers of Christianity, such as Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. The Crusades gave the impression of a renewed interest in Jerusalem, but in the end, Rome remained the capital of Christendom and Jerusalem was relegated to the status of Holy City, as Jesus had died there.
the present-day al-Aqsa Mosque
Between 600 and 800, the Muslims decided to conquer Palestine and take Jerusalem, building the present-day “al-Aqsa” Mosque on the remains of the Jews’ Holy Temple in 702. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 746 and rebuilt by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 754, then rebuilt again in 780. Another earthquake destroyed most of the building in 1033 and the Fatimid caliph Ali az-Zahir built a new mosque. Jerusalem has had its ups and downs in Islam, and under the colonial rule of the Ottoman Empire, Jerusalem was abandoned for centuries.
The Arab and Christian worlds began to take a renewed interest in Jerusalem as soon as Theodore Herzl developed his idea of restoring the People of Israel to their ancestral homeland in Palestine, the founder of Zionism. There was already a strong Jewish community in the Holy Land, but the influx of Eastern European Jews fleeing the pogroms changed the political and spiritual map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land of Israel, named Palestine by the Romans.
The Arabs did not want the Jews to return to their ancestral lands in large numbers. The Ottoman Empire agreed to sell tens of thousands of hectares to the great Jewish families of Europe, such as the Rothschilds, the Pereires, and the Montefiores, and the Jews settled in Palestine and Jerusalem. After the Ottomans defeated the British, the British Empire was given the mandate to occupy Palestine by the League of Nations in Geneva, the forerunner of the UN. Under the impetus of Winston Churchill, the British developed the “Balfour Declaration”, which recognized the future creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.
Lord Balfour’s declaration
This was an earthquake for the Arab nations, who could not accept the creation of Israel in Palestine. The Arab nations put infernal pressure on the British to cancel this Zionist idea, and it worked, for the “Balfour Declaration” remained no more than a declaration, until the Second World War and the Shoah, the genocide of the Jewish people by the German Nazis, which led to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, voted by the UN in New York.
Since 1948, there have been constant wars with Arab countries, and above all a new entity has been set up, taking advantage of the wars lost by the Arabs to benefit Israel: “Palestine and the Palestinians”. This “Palestinian” project dates back to the 1920s, with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, a religious leader and Arab nationalist.
A notorious anti-Semite who didn’t hesitate to join forces with Hitler and the Nazis to get rid of the Jews, he dreamed of an Arab Palestine. The political notion of the Palestine Liberation Movement was conceived by an Egyptian, Yasser Arafat, who used terrorism to exist, murdering thousands of Jewish civilians in Israel and around the world.
Geo-Political analysis
These aforementioned figures and entities would join forces to destroy the State of Israel both politically and religiously, the UN, Arab nations, Palestinian terrorist groups, Western nations, the Vatican, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the rest of the world. This conglomerate of hatred and common interests is doing everything in its power to wipe Israel off the map and return Jerusalem to Muslims and Christians.
The UN organizing sanctions votes with resolutions against Israel, the Arab countries declaring war on Israel, the Palestinian terrorist groups who kill Jewish civilians in Israel and the rest of the world and make terror reign, the Western nations who support Israel with words and condemn Israel with the same “evils”, the Vatican, which wants peace and condemns Israel for the “atrocities” suffered by the Palestinians, the Muslim brothers and Muslim organizations condemn Israel with extreme virulence and support Palestinian terrorism.
This association is both political and spiritual because it is necessary to prevent the Jews in Israel from proving to the world that the Jewish people are not cursed by GOD. After all, the Christian and Muslim religions are based on GOD’s curse on the Jewish people who were expelled from the Holy Land of Israel, that the Jewish people represent the past, and that the Christian and Muslim nations represent the present and the future.
The State of Israel’s existing, powerful, and filled with Torah is an essential contradiction to the Christian and Muslim nations that have based their history on the disappearance of Judaism and Torah.
The war between Israel and Islam and the Vatican is a spiritual one because the huge problem for Muslims and Christians is the possibility of the Jewish people rebuilding the Temple of Jerusalem and building the “Third Temple”.
Just look at the Muslim reactions followed by the Vatican: as soon as an Israeli politician or cleric dares to enter the Esplanade of the Mosques, it becomes a declaration of war. The subject is hot and explosive, but it’s also political.
The version of the Muslims who have owned Jerusalem and the Esplanade of the Mosques has always asserted that Jerusalem is Muslim and the “al-Aqsa” Mosque was built on virgin land with no Jewish Temple beneath it. On the other hand, all historians and archaeologists agree that it was built on the ruins of Jerusalem’s Holy Temple because the settlers in the land of Israel are Muslims.
Responding to the accusation of denying that a Jewish temple ever existed on the site, archaeologists have discovered in decades-old research that the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which Muslims believe was built by Abraham, was once a place of Jewish ritual preparation for entering the temple. Proof of this is a report filed by British archaeologist Robert Hamilton, who had documented excavations of the mosque’s foundations after it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1927.
Under the mosque floor, he discovered the remains of a Jewish mikveh (ritual basin used for purification). It dates back to the time of the Second Temple when Jews had immersed themselves in this site before entering the Temple precincts. These discoveries, hidden deep in the British Department of Compulsory Records because they embarrassed Muslim officials, now prove that the ancient temple stood on the modern Temple Mount and was a place of Jewish presence.
The Prophecies of Isaiah
Prophecies
The Jews have never been definitively expelled by GOD, this is false information, just read the prophecies of Isaiah (Isaiah 41, 9), “You, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Descendant of Abraham, My friend, you whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its remotest parts, and I have said to you: ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and I have not rejected you.”
Also, “Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. “I will say to the north, “Abandon them!” And to the south, “Do not hold them back.” Bring back my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 43:5-6)’
The Prophet, Amos, declared this prophecy, “I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them.” (Amos 9:14-15)
The prophet Ezekiel witnessed the departure of this divine Presence from the Temple (Ezekiel 10:18-19).
But he also saw the rebuilding of an eternal and permanent dwelling place of GOD on the Temple Mount, in the holy city of Jerusalem.
“The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east… I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever.” (Ezekiel 43:4-7).
Construction of the Third Temple of Jerusalem
Vatican theologians and great Muslim scholars know the prophecies of the Jewish prophets, know the texts of the Torah and know GOD’s words and GOD’s love for the Jewish people. They understand that all their attempts over thousands of years to annihilate the Jewish People have not worked and have not been crowned with success, they realize that the Jewish People are protected by GOD that GOD will return to his home in Jerusalem, and that the Third Temple will be rebuilt, very soon, because the Jewish People are obliged by the Torah and by GOD Himself to keep 613 commandments, and without the Temple, the Jewish People would no longer be able to keep them because they had to reduce 202 commandments from the 613 obligations mentioned in the Torah.
The hour of truth is approaching for all the nations of the world because the Third Temple will begin to be built by Jews in honor of the Almighty GOD in Jerusalem, the Jews will do the first work and the LORD will realize the Third Temple, his Permanent Abode. The Jews must prove to GOD their infinite desire to see the Third Temple built in its original location. This will be GOD’s will, and no power in the world will be able to oppose it.
