INN is a hardline Zionist publication and major proponent of the establishment of illegal settlements. I'd be wary of what they print, as they have a clear agenda. Not that this Sanhedrin organization hasn't called for this, but I don't think Trump is even this stupid to start a massive war centered on Jerusalem.TampaBayAg said:

The Sanhedrin is reaching out to Trump to build the Third Temple?
I absolutely agree with you on their definite partisanship, but just extremely interesting times from a eschatological perspective. As we watch the North bordering Syria continue in chaos, the resurgence of the Bear, hundreds of millions of Muslims awaiting the arrival of the 12th Imam, many Orthodox Jew anticipating their perceived first arrival of the Messiah, and prospective rumblings of the Sanhedrin reaching out to a US President-Elect to build the third Temple (coupled with his claims of relocating the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem)...makes you wonder if Trump is crazy enough to inadvertently start the prophesied Ezekiel 38 War.RetiredAg said:INN is a hardline Zionist publication and major proponent of the establishment of illegal settlements.

"The Sanhedrin" is a fringe group whose authority is not recognized by the Israeli government or the majority of Torah scholars.TampaBayAg said:

True. I realize the The Nascent Sanhedrin hold no authority in government nor ecclesiastical matters, but their workings with the Temple Restoration Project fascinate me a good deal.commando2004 said:"The Sanhedrin" is a fringe group whose authority is not recognized by the Israeli government or the majority of Torah scholars.TampaBayAg said:

It's a Ship of Theseus issue. The "Second Temple" remained in continuous operation throughout Herod's renovation.94chem said:
Have to go read my Nat Geo to see why Herod's temple wasn't considered the 3rd one.
Except for the fact that the Palestinians have already stated that they would care.Quote:
but nobody would care about it being in Jerusalem.
I can't imagine why the "Palestinians" would care about where the US embassy to Israel is located. The U.S. don't care where Germany's embassy to Mexico is located. Why would the "Palestinians" care where two other countries locate embassies?RetiredAg said:Except for the fact that the Palestinians have already stated that they would care.Quote:

Palestinians are actual people that exist in the world and have been recognized as such since at least the Roman Empire. Your scare quotes are ridiculous.wbt5845 said:I can't imagine why the "Palestinians" would care about where the US embassy to Israel is located.

Most of the people identifying as "Palestinians" today are not descendants of the people who lived there during the time of the Roman Empire, but are fairly recent migrants from other Muslim countries. Quit being obtuse.Marco Esquandolas said:

Speaking of fairly recent migrants, aren't we talking about Israel?
