Third Temple? - Torah Portion Pinchas - July 11

11 July 2015  ~  24 Tammuz 5775
Torah Parashah - Pinchas -    
          B’midbar (Numbers) 25:10-30:1  RSTNE p 127

We are going to switch gears - as several things happened this week - that I feel I must teach something else this Shabbat.  I plan to return to those next week - as Yah leads. :) 

I am going to share some things I learned from a teaching by Tom Stapleton on the 3rd Temple.


All things concerning Yeshua must be fulfilled. -Luke 24:44 - Harbour Light Ministries

**

Torah Parashah  Pinchas -     
          B’midbar (Numbers) 25:10-30:1  RSTNE p 127

This parashah starts in 25:10
but let’s start to read at
B’midbar 25:1-18 p 127

(Rabbi Foreman has some good teachings on Pinchas you can watch on the internet.)

What is going on in this chapter?

Remember that Balam told Balak the king of Moav - that he didn’t have to have him (Balam) speak a curse... just hang around the Israelites and they will curse themselves with your daughters.

And here it is happening...

What god does the Torah say they are worshiping?

Ba’al-Peor.
a demon of hasatan.
What did they do to worship Ba’al-Peor...
(spoken gently).... as near as i can tell ... it is about exposing the parts of one’s body that most persons would prefer to keep covered.  And it is about the sexual act... but there is much reference to sodomy.
Disgusting...

So in vs 4 Yah told Moshe to “take all the heads off the people and hang them up...

and in verse 5 He tells the judges to do the actual killing. 

And then in vs 6 where are the people weeping?

-      “at the door of the Tabernacle of the congregation”

Now I don’t know for sure what they are weeping about...

could it be all their grief from family and friends dying ?

or are they weeping b/c there is worship of Ba’al-Peor going on?

AND where is it going on AT?

It can be at least inferred that it is going on IN the Tabernacle.

Notice in verse 6 it was in the sight of Moshe and all the people....!

And Pinchas - grandson of Aharon... got up... and took a spear...
and killed them both.

It is suggested in many commentators that he could kill them both because they were actually doing this abomination act at the time Pinchas killed them.

Pinchas...
Mike Clayton says  of Pinchas ... “This is the man whose life should be an example to us.  Pinchas never let his guard down.  He stood as his grandfather Aharon  had done once before, between the living and the dead.  may we follow his example.”

I feel like Pinchas did what many are afraid to do - stand up for what is of YHWH and cleanse the Tabernacle! 

I say this in a time when more and more churches are  changing their statements of faith...

And what happened to Pinchas?

verses 12-13
 “Therefore say, See, I give to him My Brit of shalom.. 13 And he shall have it, and his zera after him, even the brit of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his Elohiym and made keporah (blood atonement) for the children of Yisra’el.”

= A Covenant of Shalom....

So what do we know about the covenant of Shalom?

The first thing i thought of was...after Avram had won the battle with the kings of the area... 

The Melchizedek - who was Shem at the time....
is referred to as melech of Salem... in English

but in Hebrew it is  a shin-lamed -mem = SHALOM.


B’re’shiyt 14:18-19 p 17
“And Melchizedek   melech (king) of Salem (Shalom) brought out lechem (bread) and wine: and he was a cohen (priest) of El-Elyon (YHWH).  19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Avram to El-Elyon, Possessor of the shamayim and earth.”

~
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 54:10 p 338
YHWH is talking to His people...
“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed; but My chesed (kindness or goodness) shall not depart from you again, neither shall the brit  (covenant) of My shalom (peace) be removed, says YHWH that has rachamim (mercy) on you.”

Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 43:25  p 420
“And I will make with them a brit of shalom, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.”

Yechezkel 37:26 p 424
“Moreover I will make a brit of shalom with them; it shall be an everlasting brit with them:  and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My Kadosh Place in their midst le-olam-va-ed (forever or until a time not yet seen).”

~~
Interesting that Pinchas has ZEAL

This word is a kof-nun-aleph
and means jealous, zealous, or jealous anger

It is nearly the same word as JEALOUS in the same verse

which is a kof-nun-aleph- hey
and means - ardor, zeal, jealousy, jealousy resulting from the wrath of YHWH.
~
It is easy to be the one weeping...  but who will STAND up and be ZEALOUS for YHWH?

~~~~~~~~~~**********************~~~~~~~~~~~
This is mostly from a teaching by
Tom Stapleton  of www.endtimesprophecy.com

The 3rd temple ~~

Mr Stapleton says.... something that is very intriguing to me...

“In order to be truly fair - YHWH has to give back to hasatan all that he was - including his beauty...  etc....”

I don’t know if this is in the Word - certainly not spoken like that...

but it seems probable to me - as YHWH over and over again  - makes sure that things are done perfectly and in order...
And i believe He won’t leave any room what so ever for hasatan to have a “wasn’t fair” claim...

So if Mr Stapleton is correct - that YHWH will give back his amazing beauty...  

think about this....

If that be the case...we’ve here on this earth, mostly not seen spiritual beings... 
so hasatan - the former worshiper of YHWH - will be incredible!
-      soooo beautiful.... 

And if it is the “way best” and most amazing being we’ve ever seen... and he is sitting in the temple... 

yes, that is what i said - sitting in the temple... claiming to be YHWH...

What will people think?

Unless we really really know the TRUTH... we will be deceived !!!

~~ 

Does Torah (whole bible) say there will be a 3rd Temple?

Mattityahu 24:1-2 p 698
         
Y’shua said not one stone will be left on another.
“Not one stone on another.”

Now think about this for a minute. 
I am asking you to do some application of what we are reading here...

“Not one stone on another”

If this is true... what is a lie in the world??

= The western wall is not a wall of the Temple...

We know that “the western wall” is actually a wall left from the Roman Anatolian Fortress... and that the temple was lower.

 It was not on the top of the hill - that is where pagan’s worship - on the top of the hill.

We also know that archeologists have found what hey believe to be buildings that went with the temple - places where animals were put before sacrifice etc...

In the City of David... not on the top of hill - but near it. !!

If Torah says “not one stone on top of each other... How can anyone believe that is the temple wall?!!!

Mattityahu 24: 15 p 699
“When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniyel the navi (prophet), STANDING in the Beit HaMikdash, (whoever reads, let him understand.)”

I always thought that the abomination of desolation was an act - something they did... like sacrifice a pig on the altar.

In reality it is much worse...

This says “When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation STANDING in the Beit HaMikdash...”

are you kidding me?

-      Been here all along... CJB says...
          “the abomination of desolation STANDING in the Holy Place.”

This is a being - STANDING....!!

Clearly there is a temple... there has to be a temple ... 

Y’shua says there will be another one...

...but what we need to figure out is.....

Is He talking about YHWH ‘s plan for HIS temple

or is Y’shua talking about what the enemy will do??

If Y’shua is talking about what the enemy will do... = then this is a warning about a deception!   

wow!!

Mattityahu 24:34 p 700
          “Truly I say to you, This tribe shall not pass, until all these things are fulfilled.”

Mr. Stapleton says...  but when it says...
“All Scripture will be fulfilled”...

.......we need to understand - look at context and try to see what YHWH was saying... 

context  - after resurrection Y’shua said - all things must be fulfilled written in law and prophets and psalms concerning me.

- so he qualified it!!

All things CONCERNING HIM!!

He makes a good point
D’varim (Deut) 30:19-  “Choose life”

If i choose life - would all promises be fulfilled?  YES.

but if i choose unbelief - the promises given... will not be fulfilled

~
The curtain temple was torn from top to bottom indicating power from above...

indicating the temple service had come to an end...

there was no meaning any more b/c what the system was pointing to - had come and died...

so in that sense - all those scriptures of Him coming - were fulfilled...

 But if you don’t believe he was Messiah - then wouldn’t you want to set up a sacrificial system again? - YES!!


They know the temple has to be up and running - in action and operation for the Messiah to come - they know that so they want to rebuild.

Mr Stapleton spoke in detail about believing Shaul wrote the book of Ivrim/Hebrews... and about who Shaul is...

And says “if anyone knew what was going on with the Temple - Shaul should have...”



Yochanan (John) 4:20-21 p 757
“Our ahvot (fathers) worshipped on this mountain; and yet You say, that in Yahrushalayim is the place where men should worship. 21 Y’shua said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour comes when you shall neither in the is mountain, not at Yahrushalayim, worship the ABBA.”

If he said this in the temple - what would they do? - probably stone him.

Y’shua’s saying - there is a day coming when there will be worship in those places - but it WILL NOT BE WORSHIP OF YHWH!!!

~
Acts 20:1-7 p 799

This is Shaul’s journey back to Jerusalem...

Look at names of cities -
a guy from Berea, a couple people from Thesloniqyah, Aristarchos and Secundous, and Gaios, and Derbie, and Asia

= delegation of reps going to go back to Jerusalem for Shavuot!

stopped in Philippi... 

others waited in Troas...

They sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread..

What is Shaul doing??...

-Could it be , he was keeping the feast of Unleavened Bread ... in Philippi... worshiping YHWH -

notice - they weren’t in Jerusalem...
doesn’t it say in Torah you have to be in Jerusalem to keep festivals....?

why was Shaul keeping Pesach outside of Jerusalem?

There was also a
body of believers  in Troas... 

Yochanan (John) 2:16-18 p 755
          They ask for a sign...  a matter of authority.. he had just said you’ have made my Father’s house a house of merchandise...
He just told them he was the son of YHWH!!

and then they asked for a sign... 

later he said.. the one who is raised from the dead - you will not believe
just before raising Lazerous and himself.

no sign would convince them...

Reality is - this is very important
-- We have to be open to the fact that - “I/we could be mistaken”...

He told them he was the son of YHWH and - they didn’t get it...

Mattityahu 21:12-13 p 695

Matt 21:41 p 696

- There is going to be an end to temple service/temple destroyed.. .and give the service to others.

Acts 6:11-12 p 784

the rumor was out - and the thing i know about rumor is that usually there is enough truth that it might be believable...

The rumor was - that that Shaul and others were speaking against the law and against Moshe..

Mr Stapleton suggest that  - in the end times- the ones with the Truth will be accused of speaking against Moshe and the law.

Acts 6:13-14  p 784
Now Shaul speaks against the holy place - the temple!

so probably there will be those in the end of days who get accused of that.... 

= those of us who believe that we should not go to the 3rd temple!!!!!
~
If the sacrificial system had come to an end  --- and the disciples were preaching that ---they would have been looked on as blaspheming ...

.... if they were teaching the true lamb had come and the temple service was done....!!

Acts 21:21 p 800

-      they didn’t understand Shaul here....

maybe there are lessons we need to learn here!!

Ivrim (Hebrews) 7:12 p 817 = end of Levitical priesthood.

Heb 13:10 p 823
“We have an altar, from which they have no right to eat, who serve the earthly Tent of Meeting.”

Again we see Shaul teaching against the customs of the people

He is saying that because they were all about the animal sacrifice ... they missed Y’shua’s sacrifice.

Heb 10:1 p 820
system/priesthood/ - everything represented something - the heavenly jerusalem... 

= the offerings are useless... the offerings don’t cleanse you
but the one who they represent does...

Heb 10:4-9

The whole system has passed away... when Y’shua comes and dies...

and he renews the system that he had in the first place - melchizedek.

Mat 23:37-38

Y’shua says once they reject him as the Messiah - the presence of YHWH would be gone..

so why would you go there to offer sacrifice there?

the earthly system had come to an  end...

Matt 24:1-2

(At this point teacher said we look and see temple stones still standing! “  - NO!!!!) :(

=a call to leave Jerusalem....

We are supposed to be sowers - not supposed to be the reapers...
just plant the seed!

They were teaching about the heavenly jerusalem... that is what we should look at - not earthy one!!!

It looks like hasatan is using OT prophecies about temple in Jerusalem and telling them to go there and worship there.... 

Problem was - they misunderstood the prophecies.
so could it be at the end of time... 

there is misunderstanding so at end of time -a believer could end up worshiping something they should not.

We are not looking to go to Jerusalem - EVER-  until new Jerusalem comes down


- The counterfeit always shows up ahead of time

heb 13:15-16 p 823

= The altar that levites have  - has no right to worship at since Y’shua died. 

Why are they giving thanks to him?

We praise Him for what HE has done for us....

they were praising for what the animal sacrifice has done for us. !!


Who believes that before Messiah comes - there will be a temple in Jerusalem ?

i do...

is it YHWH’s?  How will we know for sure that is is Abba’s house?

~~

Luke 21:24 - the time of the gentiles…  gentiles in control and hasatan will come… as Messiah -

(Tom says- as beautiful as he was… so that when people even LOOK at him they will become convinced that he (hasatan) - after all he will be acting  like Messiah… or representing himself as Messiah…  

they will all be deceived…

Rev 11:2 p 917 - temple given to gentiles

Dan 12:11 p 447
daily service taken away … and “the abomination that makes desolate set up”

well, look at - 

2 Thess 4  “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Eloah , or that is worshipped; so that he is showing himself AS Eloah, sits in the Hekel (temple, set apart place, holy of holies)  of Eloah, declaring himself to be Eloah.

Now look at 
Matt 24:15
"When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniyel the navi, STANDING in the Beit HaMikdash, (whoever read, let him understand)”

~~~
There will be a new temple in Jerusalem... and you need to know if you are going there or not.

I AM NOT.

The point is that the abomination of desolation is hasatan being worshiped  by the MANY  deceived ones…

and it will be EASY to be deceived!! - just by looking!!  

--UNLESS we KNOW what the Word says!!


Rev 11:7-8 p 917  city referred to as Sedom and Egypt… 

Luke 21:20-21  p 750 

- don’t even look back b/c if you look on this being you will be deceived (is what tom says…  not sure this is Biblical…but makes some sense)

Dan 11:45 -12:1  p 447

Malachi 3:2-3 - purify the sons of levi - people think the Levite system is still intact - and that the Messiah will come and purify the Levites who will be working in the 3rd temple!

They say that since all scripture must be fulfilled - and this wasn’t at Messiah’s first coming - it will be at his second coming.

but when Elijah is on the mountain - what was actually the proof that it was YHWH…=== fire came down from heaven…

why was the top of Moriah chosen for the temple?….David had offered a sacrifice and fire came down and consumed it and he said….surely this is the house of Yah.
remember when solomon dedicated Temple at feast of Tabernacles - fire came down

YHWH shows up when he approves something -

-so we should be able to… if fire comes down from heaven not he alter in Jerusalem - surely that would prove that it is YHWH’s order.

If you saw fire come down in the temple - wouldn’t you believe it?

Prophecies say ...

Rev 13:13-14 p 920-

prophecies say - If hasatan is going to be in jerusalem ... do you think he would miss out on the “proof positive that it is YHWH’s order in the temple?”….  

how many people will be deceived if they saw something like that - fire from heaven....?

The TRUTH is this...
If you are listening and following people that are going to take you to the 3rd temple..

....you need to start helping them understand that is not the direction you and they want to go…

 b/c if we are deceived.. the deeper we go in more of the deception it becomes… more difficult to get out and find/ see the truth!

~
Every one needs to study this…  and make a decision on what you are going to believe and on what “line” you get in to what “temple”

Torah says that only those who follow the lamb…  

So....we need need to understand this and help others to understand this…
