A cornerstone for 3rd Temple?
As tensions rise in Mideast, Jews set to begin symbolic
rebuilding

As violence in the Middle East escalates, an Israeli group
plans a symbolic effort to begin building the Third Temple of
Israel tomorrow in Jerusalem -- a move the Arab-American
community calls a "very grave provocation."
The event poses a threat to Muslims, as the site of the
new temple, the Temple Mount, is also the location of the Dome
of the Rock -- a Muslim mosque.
In the Jewish faith, the name of God
is so holy that it is never spelled out in its entirety.
"It is the view of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful
that the redemption will proceed in an orderly fashion according
to G-d's plan," the statement continues.
In its
"Vision of Redemption," the Temple Mount Faithful Movement
states its belief that the creation of the modern state of
Israel is "the beginning of the redemption of the world," which
is completed with the building of the Third Temple.
But Salomon's movement is determined to go through with the
ceremony. "G-d is ready for this and He expects Israel to
re-liberate the Temple Mount from the pagan Arab worshippers and
to rebuild His house to again be the heart, soul and focus of
Israel and all the nations," Salomon wrote. "The Temple Mount
and Land of Israel Faithful Movement has decided to wait no more
and to bring the G-d of Israel back to His rebuilt house ..."
