Hi…
I am really liking this book. Ok where we left off we were talking about the Temple Mount and its rebuilding.
Ok… So that’s a lttle confusing / troublesome that Israel owns the Temple Mount but does not control it. I guess I did not know that. My question is why you would agree to that. They still live at war even though they have given the land over to other to govern. It seams as nothing was gained. Surely not peace. I wonder if the US had any part in this.
Why the Jordanians? I have so many questions. I bet I could talk to someone at an embassy if I wanted to get answers. That would be fun.
Where does it say about the third Jewish temple in the Bible? I would love to see verse / scripture. Is it in Revelation? Or one of the prophets? I’m sure one of the two.
The whole thing about The Temple Institute is cool and kind sends chills. That level of preparation and detail. I didn’t know.
Start from age 2 and not till 30! Wow huh!
Ok… I like the way they talked about the priestly apparel. Even though that is the case I feel like you would get more from it than I. The way you like to knit and sow clothes. I like that. I was just thinking how cool it would be to have you read these verses and do an artists rendering.
I am super stoked about the Ark of the Covenant stuff coming up!
On to chapter 10…
How cool that some of the stuff is on display! I want to go see it!
I like the way they are going to describe all the tools! Hope they give background or scripture.
Ok… Sanhedrin?...
The Sanhedrin (Hebrew: סַנְהֶדְרִין; Greek: συνέδριον,[1] synedrion, "sitting together," hence "assembly" or "council") was an assembly of twenty-three judges appointed in every city in the Biblical Land of Israel.[2]
The Great Sanhedrin was the supreme court of ancient Israel made of 71 members. The Great Sanhedrin was made up of a Chief/Prince/Leader called Nasi (at some times this position may have been held by the Kohen Gadol or the High Priest), a vice chief justice (Av Beit Din), and sixty-nine general members.[3] In the Second Temple period, the Great Sanhedrin met in the Hall of Hewn Stones in the Temple in Jerusalem. The court convened every day except festivals and Shabbat. In the late 3rd century, to avoid persecution, its authoritative decisions were issued under the name of Beth HaMidrash.
The last binding decision of the Sanhedrin was in 358, when the Hebrew Calendar was adopted. The Sanhedrin was dissolved after continued persecution by the Roman Empire. Over the centuries, there have been attempts to revive the institution, such as the Grand Sanhedrin convened by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The Sanhedrin is mentioned in the Gospels in relation to the Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus.
Ok that whole Napoleon thing is weird. The jist is that it’s a court or group. I am wondering if this is who the Bible is talking about by Judges? I am inclined to think yes. Will have to look more into that. I should look up if the word Sanhedrin is used in the bible… Ok as far as I can tell right now it is not. Checked concordance and program on my phone. I guess it could be called a different name though.
Back to the book.
Wow about the Pope! Huh?
Casting lots for the scapegoat? Interesting.
Good stuff! The Lost Ark tomorrow…
