The Family Celebration of Pesach (Passover) at the Full Moon of Spring
BibleSearchers – The hand of the Almighty is stirring up the nations surrounding Jerusalem at the same time promoting the Jewish people to begin the final process to take possession of the entire Land of Israel. This possession was given into their hands in 1967, but the Israeli government chose not to do so at that time. The control of the Temple Mount was allowed to continue in the control of the Grand Mufti and the Temple Mount Waqf, known collaborators with Adolf Hitler during World War II and passionate enemies of the Jews today.
With the recent temple riots by young Palestinians encouraged by the elders of Islam over the recent decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu to include the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron and the Tomb of Rachel in Bethlehem with the Jewish Historical Heritage Sites only gives pause to the great divisions that separate these ancient tribal half-brothers from the House of Isaac and the House of Ishmael.
On March 18, 2010, the Temple Mount Institute did formally file suit to the Israeli Supreme Court, for its right to sacrifice a Paschal or Passover Lamb upon the Temple Mount just prior to Passover as commanded for all Hebrews in the Torah. This Torah command included not only the Jews of the House of Judah but also the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel who have not, to date, been redeemed back to the Land of Israel.
According to the Torah command, and outlined in the petition to the Supreme Court that “The command to perform a Paschal [Passover] sacrifice is a positive commandment; the punishment for failing to perform it is 'karet' [lit. -- 'cut off', meaning that a person is cut off from the Nation of Israel], and it can be performed only on the day before Passover and only on the Temple Mount.”
Politically fighting against the petition is the Israeli Police that fear the actual sacrificing of a lamb upon the Temple Mount could bring on an avalanche of Muslim rioting and creating insurmountable forces that could endanger the Israeli public. Others fear that this would provoke Armageddon. One thing that it truly would do would be to unify the national voice of the Jewish people.
This petition appears also to come at an “appointed time” in history where a great national swelling of Jewish sentiment that has been aroused by the recent dedication of the Hurva Synagogue and followed abruptly afterwards by the most forceful confrontation by the Obama White House and State Department to force all the concessions demanded by the Palestinian people upon the State of Israel to give them a Palestinian State, their capital in East Jerusalem and the forcible eviction of all Jewish people from Judea and Samaria. On the other hand, there has been a movement from the House of David, to appoint and anoint a Prince of the House of David and Solomon to become the official “Prince of Israel” eventually paving the pathway for a future “King of Israel”.
The reconstruction of this ancient 18th century synagogue that was last built by the disciples of the Vilna Gaon, also has raised up the messianic voices that now are calling for the construction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. According to the Vilna Gaon, “The Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem, which was built during his day, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice. When the Hurva Synagogue was completed for the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.” This synagogue was rebuilt for the second time in 1864 by the disciples of the Vilna Gaon and was destroyed by the Jordanian Legionnaires in 1948 when the Jewish people were fighting five Islamic nations for the right to have their own homeland in the land of their forefathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
It was the messianic teachings of the Gra, the “Genius” as the Vilna Gaon was called, that the literal coming of the Messiah, the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David, is “not an event but a process” that will begin during the end of days. What his teaching did truly do was trigger one of the first massive aliyah movements in Jewish history. In the early 1800s, a large number of the Gra’s disciples moved to Israel believing that the Land of Israel must be inhabited by the Jews in order for the Hebrew Messiah to come.
What is even more profound is that the great aliyah of the Jewish people returning in great force after the Holocaust in 1948, was not destined to be the last of the “dry bones of Ezekiel the Prophet” that are to be reclaimed, redeemed and restored to the Land of Israel. One of the last great themes of the prophets is the fact that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel have yet to be resurrected and when that day will be, “All Israel”, the House of Judah and the House if Ephraim/Joseph will finally be reunited after three thousand years of separation, exile, wanderings, and finally restored for only one reason; to “honor G-d’s Holy Name.
