Caption transcript for “Kingdom of the Final Abomination”

• 00:01 Joshua Colson: Previously on “Bearded Bible Brothers.”
• 00:03 Joshua: Let’s go on a hunt for archaeology.
• 00:06 Follow me. Christian Widener: What we see here is evidence that this was
• 00:08 part of the original developments of Jerusalem.
• 00:11 Caleb Colson: Look at this, all the way from here down to
• 00:14 the end.
• 00:15 This is one stone, guys.
• 00:17 The trumpeting stone.
• 00:18 It has written in Hebrew, “The Place of Trumpeting.”
• 00:21 It fell from this corner and that’s where they would blow the
• 00:23 shofar, and that verifies that there was indeed a temple on
• 00:27 this Temple Mount, 100%.

• 01:00 Joshua: Help, somebody! Stop!
• 01:07 Oh boy.
• 01:09 We’re gonna need another temple.
• 01:14 Joshua: Today is the day, my most hated day.
• 01:17 Yes, that’s right, it’s Temple Mount Day.
• 01:19 Now you may ask, “Joshua, why do you hate going to the
• 01:21 Temple Mount?
• 01:22 Isn’t it like the holiest site in the whole world, the
• 01:24 spiritual gateway that connects heaven and earth, the place
• 01:27 where God himself dwelled with man, face to face?”
• 01:30 Oh yeah, yeah, all that is true.
• 01:32 It’s in the Bible, mhm, but it now has become a abominable, no
• 01:36 pun intended, Islamic shrine to the demon god Allah.
• 01:39 Yeah, sure you can find the Israeli police up there.
• 01:41 They’re securing the site, doing their best, but then there’s
• 01:43 also the Jordanian Waqf because, well, they technically own
• 01:46 the place.
• 01:48 Blasphemous, huh?
• 01:49 Yeah, well, let’s just say getting up here, it’s not easy.
• 01:51 No, you have to get here early in the morning.
• 01:53 You have to get screened several times through
• 01:55 security checkpoints.
• 01:56 Oh, and of course, there’s the antics of the Temple Mount just
• 01:59 before October 7 that we went on, which of course possibly put
• 02:02 us on the coveted do not admit list.
• 02:04 That is probably what happens when you sing the Shema on Mount
• 02:07 Moriah like I did.
• 02:09 And anywho, thankfully the Lord has sent us here, as always, and
• 02:16 we are beginning our ascent along with Hirchie Schaffner and
• 02:19 Christian Widener.
• 02:21 So I have two scapegoats if I need to run.
• 02:31 Christian Widener: You know, I’m not sure we’re ever gonna
• 02:33 find Josh and Caleb up here.
• 02:35 This place is pretty big.
• 02:36 Hirchie Schaffner: Yeah, hopefully they haven’t been
• 02:39 taken by security.
• 02:40 That’s the key.
• 02:43 They kind of stand out in a crowd.
• 02:45 Christian: They do.
• 02:47 Hirchie: But yeah, this place is so big, 36 acres.
• 02:52 It is the largest structure, you know, that, like this that’s
• 02:56 ever been built anywhere.
• 02:57 It’s larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
• 02:59 I mean, you think about the work that had to go into that and–
• 03:05 Christian: Here we are.
• 03:07 Hirchie: Look, there’s Josh and Caleb.
• 03:11 Caleb: 2 Chronicles 6, beginning in verse 12: “Then
• 03:14 Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the
• 03:17 whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
• 03:20 He said: ‘Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you
• 03:24 in heaven or on earth.
• 03:25 But will God really dwell on earth with humans?
• 03:28 The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you.
• 03:32 How much less this temple I have built!
• 03:34 May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, this
• 03:38 place of which you said you will put your Name there.
• 03:40 May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.
• 03:44 Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you
• 03:47 hear, forgive.'”
• 03:49 Joshua: Well, the gang is all here.
• 03:51 It’s always fun to have a grouping of people that love
• 03:53 Yeshua on the Temple Mount, Mount Moriah, God’s
• 03:56 chosen place.
• 03:58 They don’t want us to be here, but we’re here.
• 04:00 So what’s up?
• 04:02 Caleb: This is the place that many things happen.
• 04:05 Lots of important things.
• 04:06 Hirchie: Yeah, I mean, we’re standing here where God told
• 04:09 Solomon to build the temple and God told Abraham to come
• 04:13 sacrifice Isaac.
• 04:15 We know he also changed that.
• 04:18 Amazing times, amazing spot.
• 04:20 Caleb: But now the Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa Mosque are here,
• 04:23 and Muslims claim that they were here from time
• 04:24 immemorial, basically.
• 04:26 There was never a Jewish presence, never a Jewish temple
• 04:28 here, but we want to tell a different story, story of truth.
• 04:33 Has archaeological evidence.
• 04:35 That’s why today we brought our friend, Dr. Christian Widener
• 04:38 here, and you’re going to tell us about all the cool things
• 04:41 that you’ve discovered here.
• 04:42 Christian: Yeah, so this, first of all, this entire platform
• 04:44 we’re sitting on is in the northern part of the
• 04:47 Temple Mount.
• 04:49 We had to–the temple had to be in this northern part because
• 04:51 south of this, of this platform, it–really, the mountain kind
• 04:54 of drops off.
• 04:55 There is no mountain.
• 04:57 That means there’s no threshing floor.
• 04:58 That means it really just can’t be in that southern part.
• 05:02 So we’re on here, but like, where did this platform
• 05:04 come from?
• 05:05 A lot of people think it was actually built by the same
• 05:07 people who built the Dome of the Rock, right, that we’re
• 05:09 standing on.
• 05:10 But we know that from the historic accounts, they came up
• 05:12 here, this platform was already here.
• 05:14 They had to clear it off from trash.
• 05:16 But also we know that the first person to build up here was
• 05:19 Hadrian, Emperor Hadrian, about 135 AD.
• 05:23 He had a whole debris field of, you know, broken temple parts
• 05:26 and buildings.
• 05:28 The first thing he would have had to do to build the temple of
• 05:30 Jupiter is to build a platform to build it on, and that was
• 05:33 his style.
• 05:34 That was what he always did.
• 05:35 He had a big giant platform.
• 05:37 He built many other temples.
• 05:38 They had the same sort of style.
• 05:39 And so he would have come up here and there are two pieces of
• 05:42 bedrock in this platform.
• 05:44 One of them is over there at the Dome of the Spirits, and it’s
• 05:46 perfectly flat and it’s level with this entire platform.
• 05:49 We know then that that isn’t an accident.
• 05:52 It was actually used to set the level of this whole platform and
• 05:55 then the one behind us in the Dome of the Rock is 50 feet.
• 05:57 It’s really too big to have been, you know, associated with
• 06:00 the temple, but it’s also not flat, right?
• 06:04 So that’s the number one problem with the Al-Aqsa stone, but it’s
• 06:08 a perfect cornerstone for the temple to Jupiter that Hadrian
• 06:11 would have built, and it even has perpendicular cuts in it
• 06:14 that are consistent with walls that would have made, you know,
• 06:16 a corner and on that cornerstone.
• 06:20 So like to be here standing, really, in the open area that
• 06:24 has been left for the temple is really something.
• 06:27 I mean, we’re about like in the court of Israel, the court of
• 06:29 the women, you know, we’re not far from where the altar would
• 06:32 have been, you know, it’s just amazing.
• 06:34 Caleb: But since all four of us are here and we’re teaching
• 06:37 about the Bible, we’re starting to draw attention.
• 06:39 So our plan is we’re going to split up into two teams.
• 06:42 Team Strike Force here.
• 06:44 You’re gonna be like Team Discovery Channel, and then
• 06:45 maybe we can throw off the scent of what’s going on.
• 06:48 Hirchie: What about Team Bearded and Team Goatee?
• 06:50 Caleb: Team Bearded, I like that.
• 06:52 Team Bearded and Team Goatee.
• 06:53 Joshua: So which one am I on?
• 06:54 Caleb: Mine.
• 06:56 Joshua: Oh, okay, made sure.
• 06:59 Caleb: Not going to lie, it can get pretty dangerous up here.
• 07:02 Typically, if you just bend down to tie your shoes, you’d be
• 07:05 surrounded by security in a matter of seconds because
• 07:08 praying on the mountain is forbidden to non-Muslims.
• 07:11 We also learned to look out for those Temple Mount cats.
• 07:14 They are usually spying for the Jordanian Waqf, but God always
• 07:18 has our backs, as by divine intervention we ran into the
• 07:22 curator of the Dome of the Rock.
• 07:24 After agreeing to listen to his history lesson, we paid him some
• 07:27 shekels, and this act of kindness actually led to the
• 07:30 Waqf keeping their distance from us so we could film.
• 07:35 Caleb: 2 Chronicles 3:1: “Then Solomon began to build the
• 07:39 temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord
• 07:42 had appeared to his father David.
• 07:44 It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place
• 07:48 provided by David.”
• 07:51 Christian: So this is another flat piece of bedrock here.
• 07:55 And you can see that it’s level to the ground.
• 08:01 Level to this whole platform, it’s been cut in multiple spots
• 08:05 in order to fit up paving stones to it, but it’s the one
• 08:08 perfectly flat spot that’s up here.
• 08:12 And as we think about, you know, when Solomon built the temple,
• 08:16 he built it on the threshing floor.
• 08:17 Threshing floors have to be flat.
• 08:20 The stone that’s in under the Dome of the Rock, it’s not flat
• 08:23 at all.
• 08:25 It’s the natural rock surface.
• 08:26 It was never a threshing floor, but this has been hidden in
• 08:29 plain sight for all to see and yet for no one to see, right?
• 08:35 Because it just looks like a giant paving stone, in fact,
• 08:37 people have claimed that this is a giant paving stone based on
• 08:40 some early preliminary reports from Charles Warren and those
• 08:45 early British explorers.
• 08:47 But what they miss is that in the final report, the survey of
• 08:51 Western Palestine, they list 260-something, 270 spots that
• 08:56 they actually checked bedrock levels.
• 08:58 This is number three on the list at Qubbat al-Arwah, which is the
• 09:01 Arabic name for Dome of the Spirits.
• 09:03 So this is absolutely bedrock.
• 09:06 And it’s perfectly flat just like a threshing floor.
• 09:09 Because it’s perfectly flat, because it’s bedrock, we know
• 09:12 that it was here before, you know, it’s part of the mountain,
• 09:16 so it was here before David, you know, it–this
• 09:19 predates everything.
• 09:20 It predates this entire platform because it was used to make
• 09:22 the platform.
• 09:24 So we have a landmark.
• 09:26 We have a landmark that we know this has never moved, and we
• 09:28 know it’s in exactly the same position.
• 09:30 It’s not a paving stone, it’s the mountain, right?
• 09:33 And so the temple was built on the threshing floor, that means
• 09:37 this was the Holy of holies.
• 09:39 This was the most holy place, it’s the nous of the temple.
• 09:45 And you know, here it is for us to come, you know, and I think
• 09:49 as believers, right, we have now been sanctified.
• 09:52 We have access to the Holy of holies, you know, the curtain
• 09:55 was torn in two and it was opened for us as believers.
• 09:58 And so I think we have access to this place and it’s a blessing
• 10:02 just to be here.
• 10:04 Hirchie: It is amazing.
• 10:05 And so, while most people think it would be the spot under the
• 10:09 Dome of the Rock, this is the spot.
• 10:12 Christian: Right there.
• 10:13 Hirchie: That we really believe is the Holy of holies.
• 10:20 Caleb: Well, you showed a lot of compelling evidence, Christian,
• 10:24 the flat piece of bedrock, you know, in the Dome of the Spirits
• 10:28 versus what’s in the Dome of the Rock now, which is like, how can
• 10:31 you possibly, you know, do everything that you need
• 10:35 to there?
• 10:36 It’s not a threshing floor, but why did you bring us here?
• 10:38 We’re now at the Golden Gate, the eastern gate.
• 10:40 What’s this all about?
• 10:42 Christian: So now you can see the eastern gate is not only
• 10:43 lower like it was described in the time of the temple, so they
• 10:47 could see over it and see straight from the Holy of holies
• 10:50 all the way across to the eastern side of the Mount of
• 10:53 Olives, but it had to be perfectly in line.
• 10:55 All the gates have to be in line, and the mishkan says
• 10:57 all the gates of the holy temple are aligned all the way out to
• 11:00 the eastern gate, right?
• 11:02 And so here we are.
• 11:03 We’re in a direct line with the Dome of the Spirits, right, and
• 11:07 the odds of that happening by accident are, you know, 0.07%.
• 11:12 So this alignment is a 99.93% chance that it’s not an
• 11:15 accident, you know, it has to be not only perfectly aligned and
• 11:18 perpendicular through the gate, but it also has to be the right
• 11:20 distance away.
• 11:21 So then the temple, then the holy, you know, place, the court
• 11:25 of Israel with the altar, the court of the women, all that
• 11:27 stuff has to be a certain distance away.
• 11:30 Here we are, you know, right here.
• 11:32 This is also the gate where Jesus, you know, came in.
• 11:34 Caleb: Triumphant entry, yeah.
• 11:36 Christian: Entered in on a donkey, right?
• 11:38 Now, very shortly from here there would have been a place
• 11:40 that only Jews could go in, but this outer part was also open
• 11:44 to Gentiles.
• 11:46 And so–but it would have never been a gate that you would have
• 11:48 come in on a donkey.
• 11:49 I mean, like, imagine that like, yes, north of here at the
• 11:52 Lions’s Gate they could have come in, but he would not have
• 11:54 come in on this gate, right?
• 11:56 Caleb: So yeah, not very friendly.
• 11:57 Well, that shows that he had to fulfill prophecy, and it really
• 11:59 stood out to the crowd that something different was going on
• 12:01 here at the eastern gate.
• 12:03 Joshua: The sound of all the banshees screaming behind us and
• 12:05 some of those Muslim around the gate.
• 12:06 Why don’t we go ahead and exit stage out of here?
• 12:09 Caleb: Okay, to go through the gate, the eastern?
• 12:12 Oh, no, no, yeah, no.
• 12:14 Only Jesus gonna do it.
• 12:15 Okay, all right, I was getting greedy.
• 12:17 Caleb: Ezekiel 43:3-5 “The vision I saw was like the vision
• 12:22 I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the
• 12:25 visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell face down.
• 12:29 The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate
• 12:32 facing east.
• 12:33 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court,
• 12:36 and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.”
• 12:39 Caleb: All right guys, that was a close one on the Temple Mount.
• 12:42 I thought we were going to get caught, but now we made it to
• 12:45 the other side of this eastern gate, and this is a very
• 12:48 important gate, as most everyone knows.
• 12:51 You know, Jews, Christians, even Muslims kind of associate this
• 12:55 with a Messianic endtimes gate.
• 12:57 Something big is going to happen here.
• 13:00 And we know what it is, but in Ezekiel 43 is why they see that,
• 13:07 why they believe something big is gonna happen here.
• 13:09 That scripture that we just read mentions the return of the glory
• 13:13 through this gate, but the harrowing part is that Ezekiel
• 13:19 saw the departure of that glory in chapter 8 through 11.
• 13:23 He was in Tel Aviv, Babylon.
• 13:24 He was a captive, he was a prisoner, and he’s literally
• 13:28 taken in the spirit, ripped out of his body, and he lands right
• 13:32 here in the courts of the temple in Jerusalem.
• 13:35 It was crazy.
• 13:36 Hirchie: And that’s what we see in the Scripture.
• 13:39 He has this actual vision, this moment where he sees the glory
• 13:43 of God leaving the temple, coming to this eastern gate, and
• 13:47 then shooting across to the Mount of Olives and then
• 13:50 ascending up into heaven, leaving the earth essentially at
• 13:54 this time.
• 13:55 The good thing is in Ezekiel 43 there it repeats and it comes
• 14:00 back and it shows where the glory of God returns, comes
• 14:03 through the gate.
• 14:04 Messiah himself, Yeshua, is that glory that’s revealed, and we
• 14:09 see that in Scriptures that it is coming, and we have
• 14:11 good news.
• 14:13 Joshua: Good news.
• 14:15 That prophecy concerned the Muslims so much that even
• 14:16 Suleiman had that gate sealed up, right?
• 14:19 Caleb: It’s still sealed.
• 14:20 Joshua: It’s still sealed. I was looking just to make sure.
• 14:22 I was like, yep, am I right?
• 14:23 Yep, still sealed, not open. We’re good.
• 14:25 Caleb: Well, what do you think about this, Christian?
• 14:27 Christian: Yeah, no, it’s been sealed up for 2000 years, and
• 14:29 you’re, you know, we’re thinking that eventually this is going to
• 14:32 get opened back up when the Messiah returns, and they’re
• 14:34 hoping that some graves here to defile the Messiah are going to
• 14:37 stop him, and I don’t think it’s gonna work.
• 14:40 Caleb: No, probably not.
• 14:41 Christian: You know, it is amazing to look at this gate,
• 14:43 did see, you know, Jesus, the King coming through once and
• 14:47 it’s waiting for him to come back again.
• 14:49 Caleb: So it’s pretty important.
• 14:51 I don’t doubt that.
• 14:54 Caleb: Ezekiel 44:1-2: “Then He brought me back by the way of
• 14:58 the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east; and it
• 15:01 was shut.
• 15:03 The LORD said to me, ‘This gate shall be shut; it shall not be
• 15:06 opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the LORD God of
• 15:09 Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.'”
• 15:16 Hirchie: Man, without a doubt, the evidence is all around us
• 15:20 that this is the location of a Jewish temple in a Jewish land
• 15:26 which sets some precedents, and I believe, as you guys do, that
• 15:30 if he put the temple here originally, the next two temples
• 15:35 probably gonna be here too.
• 15:37 Caleb: That is a pretty bold assumption, which is
• 15:40 probably correct.
• 15:41 We know during the millennial reign God’s gonna enlarge this
• 15:44 mountain, be the highest mountain on the earth.
• 15:46 He’s gonna build his temple on this mountain again, so one
• 15:50 would suspect that the Temple of Doom, the Tribulation Temple,
• 15:54 will also be on this mount.
• 15:56 I’m just saying, guys.
• 16:00 Christian: Well, thanks for letting me tell this story,
• 16:02 guys, and, you know, point out the two landmarks, the East
• 16:06 Gate, the Dome of the Spirits.
• 16:09 You know, with that, you really do have the exact location of
• 16:12 the temple, and it also tells us where one day the man of sin is
• 16:16 going to declare himself to be God in God’s holy place, right,
• 16:20 profaning it, so, you know, it’s exciting, but I think it’s an
• 16:24 important question because it’s something that we’re still
• 16:26 looking for.
• 16:28 Caleb: I agree.
• 16:29 You’ll have to join us again next time, sir.
• 16:30 Thank you.
• 16:32 Joshua: Thanks, Doc.
• 16:34 Caleb: This is fantastic.
• 16:35 I’m so excited and I’m so proud that I finally booked a trip to
• 16:39 Israel to walk where Jesus walked.
• 16:41 Joshua: It’s about time.
• 16:42 I told you, brother, it’s about time.
• 16:44 Oh wow, look at that, the figs taste like figs, the olives
• 16:50 taste like olives.
• 16:52 Oh, it’s incredible.
• 16:54 Oh, watch out.
• 16:55 Caleb: Oh man.
• 16:56 Joshua: Mike, I told you, double zip tie.
• 17:00 Hey everybody, I’m Joshua.
• 17:01 Caleb: And I’m Caleb.
• 17:03 Joshua: And we’re the Bearded Bible Brothers.
• 17:04 Clearly we’re not in Israel now, but that’s okay because we do
• 17:07 film in Israel all the time.
• 17:08 And guess what?
• 17:10 We want to bring you along as well.
• 17:12 Caleb: That’s right.
• 17:13 I remember my first visit to Israel.
• 17:15 The terrain looks completely different than it does on
• 17:17 camera, the depth, the height, the smells, Josh, even the
• 17:21 spiritual climate.
• 17:22 When you go to Jerusalem, you can visit the ruins of the
• 17:25 places where Yeshua and the apostles taught and learned
• 17:28 about the kingdom of heaven, you can sail the same Sea of Galilee
• 17:32 where Yeshua calmed the waves.
• 17:34 You can even visit the Valley of Armageddon at Megiddo to see
• 17:38 where the final battle of the ages is going to be fought.
• 17:41 Joshua: So turn off that Zoom background, click on the link
• 17:43 below and book your trip today, not just to Israel.
• 17:46 You can also add Petra in Jordan or go to Greece, where Paul went
• 17:50 all around and we go to those places as well.
• 17:52 Schedule your tour today.
• 17:57 Caleb: 2 Chronicles 4:19-22: “Thus Solomon had all the
• 18:02 furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and
• 18:05 the tables on which was the showbread; the lampstands with
• 18:08 their lamps of pure gold, to burn in the prescribed manner in
• 18:12 front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps
• 18:15 and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold; the trimmers,
• 18:19 the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold.”
• 18:22 Joshua: Well, from the sounds of the singing, which could be
• 18:25 prayers or singing or both, it is Shabbat here in Jerusalem,
• 18:29 Friday night, and I love actually hearing these prayer
• 18:32 calls as opposed to the other one that come on sometime on
• 18:34 the loudspeaker.
• 18:35 But we’re right here at the Temple Institute.
• 18:36 The Ark of the Covenant lets us know it’s like 1600, is the
• 18:40 address for the White House.
• 18:41 This is the address for the Temple Institute.
• 18:43 This humble place right here is what’s putting together
• 18:46 everything for that Third Temple and what is just as important or
• 18:49 more so than the construction of the temple, well, the
• 18:51 construction or the acquisition of everything that goes inside
• 18:55 of that temple.
• 18:56 All right, we’re talking about all of the things, all the
• 18:58 articles that were needed.
• 18:59 Now there is some opinion on whether or not that has to be
• 19:02 original or they can be reconstructed, but know for sure
• 19:05 the Temple Institute has everything they need to begin
• 19:09 the ceremonies in the Third Temple right now.
• 19:12 Caleb: Well, almost everything because there are a few articles
• 19:15 that people believe need to be the originals, such as the Urm
• 19:19 and the Thummim or the Kalal which contains the ashes of the
• 19:23 original nine red heifers used for purification and, of course,
• 19:27 the infamous Ark of the Covenant.
• 19:29 That has to be the original, and we’re gonna talk about all these
• 19:33 amazing articles in later episodes in the series, the
• 19:36 mystery will deepen.
• 19:37 Well, what’s cool about this is that the focus of this entire
• 19:40 series is the Third Temple, so we gotta get back to that focus.
• 19:44 Now, many people are kind of iffy whether the Third Temple is
• 19:48 going to exist at all.
• 19:49 Some say it’s gonna be symbolic, some say it’s a metaphor, some
• 19:52 say we’re the Third Temple, but we wanna go to where the Bible
• 19:56 says about the Third Temple.
• 19:57 Let’s go to Revelation 11:1-2.
• 20:01 Caleb: Revelation 11:1-2: “Then I was given a reed like a
• 20:04 measuring rod.
• 20:05 And the angel stood, saying, ‘Rise and measure the temple of
• 20:08 God, the altar, and those who worship there.
• 20:11 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not
• 20:14 measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles.
• 20:17 And they will tread the holy city underfoot for
• 20:19 forty-two months.'”
• 20:22 Caleb: It’s pretty at night too.
• 20:25 Joshua: It looks pretty except for Squatty McSquatterton
• 20:28 over there.
• 20:29 Caleb: You mean Al Aqsa Mosque? Joshua: Yeah, that’s the one.
• 20:31 Joshua: I always say it wrong. Everybody gets mad at me.
• 20:33 I’ll tell you what, that scripture is the clearest view
• 20:34 that we have of the Third Temple in the Bible, hands down, the
• 20:37 tribulation Temple, the one that is bad that everybody thinks is
• 20:41 good, and this view is given to us by John, the last surviving
• 20:45 disciple who’s taken into the heavenlies and is given a
• 20:46 panoramic view of the end of time and he’s told to measure
• 20:50 this building, to measure all the things around it on the
• 20:53 inside of it and that building, Third Temple.
• 20:56 Caleb: That’s absolutely right.
• 20:57 And what’s interesting in that same scripture is that reference
• 21:00 point of 42 months, okay, that 3.5 year period that starts with
• 21:06 the abomination of desolation when the beast defiles the
• 21:09 temple, but you see that same similarity because there has to
• 21:13 be a physical temple for a defilement to happen, and you
• 21:15 see that in Daniel 9:27, you see that Yeshua discusses it again
• 21:19 in Matthew 24.
• 21:20 So again, these references point to a physical building
• 21:24 establishment, and I think it’s going to exist right there and
• 21:28 Squatty McSquatterton is gonna have to leave for it to
• 21:31 be there.
• 21:33 Caleb: Daniel 9:27: “Then he shall confirm a covenant with
• 21:37 many for one week.
• 21:38 But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice
• 21:41 and offering, and on the wing of abominations shall be one who
• 21:45 makes desolate even until the consummation, which is
• 21:48 determined is poured out on the desolate.”
• 21:52 Caleb: Guys, everybody knows this famous passage of the
• 21:55 abomination of desolation, one of many abomination passages,
• 21:59 and I believe in dual fulfillments in prophecy, even
• 22:02 triple fulfillments, because we know that even though Antiochus
• 22:05 Epiphanes IV fulfilled this, he’s gonna do it again one day.
• 22:08 There’s gonna be another Antichrist that commits
• 22:11 an abomination.
• 22:12 So what he did, Antiochus Epiphanes IV, he defiled the
• 22:17 temple, the holy place.
• 22:18 He set up an altar to Zeus, and he even sacrificed swine on
• 22:22 the altar.
• 22:23 It’s crazy.
• 22:24 Hirchie: It is crazy.
• 22:26 And while all this is so important, part of it for me is
• 22:28 the problem of the church today and the defilement we see in the
• 22:32 church today, let alone what’s gonna come in the temple
• 22:35 to come.
• 22:36 If we don’t get things straight in the body of Christ right now,
• 22:39 we’re not going to be able to bring the gospel of Yeshua to
• 22:42 the nations the way it should be seen, and I think it’s time for
• 22:45 that purification to come back in as well.
• 22:47 Joshua: We can look at mankind and we can see all kinds of
• 22:49 abominations have taken place because the enemy has tried for
• 22:51 so long to set up this antichrist figure and to set up
• 22:55 these abominations, but Yeshua actually right here in the Mount
• 22:58 of Olives kind of shocked everybody, including his
• 23:01 disciples as he always did, when he began to preach here.
• 23:05 And what he began to say when he talked about the end times, the
• 23:07 last days, the end of everything was that that abomination that
• 23:10 Daniel prophesied about hadn’t taken place yet, but it was
• 23:14 going to take place whenever they ended.
• 23:17 So for all your abomination love, little brother, hasn’t
• 23:19 happened yet.
• 23:21 Caleb: Don’t like it.
• 23:22 Joshua: Always talking about it.
• 23:23 Literally, you talk about it at Christmas.
• 23:25 You talk about it at Hanukkah.
• 23:26 Talk about it at all the holidays.
• 23:27 Hirchie: Abomination revelation.
• 23:29 Joshua: You said there’s an abomination free episode.
• 23:30 I sat down.
• 23:31 The first words out of your mouth were abomination
• 23:33 of desolation.
• 23:34 Caleb: Matthew 24:15-16 and verse 21: “‘Therefore when you
• 23:38 see the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel
• 23:42 the prophet, standing in the holy place’ [whoever reads, let
• 23:45 him understand], ‘then let those who are in Judea flee to
• 23:48 the mountains.
• 23:49 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not
• 23:53 been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor
• 23:56 ever shall be.'”
• 23:58 Joshua: I don’t know about you, but I believe in a literal
• 24:00 fulfillment of this prophecy.
• 24:02 I believe that there’s gonna be an actual man, that he is gonna
• 24:05 be a man of sin, that he’s gonna be this antichrist figure, that
• 24:08 is gonna be the beast, that’s gonna be Satan incarnate.
• 24:11 It’s a literal prophecy, and the Jews believe in a literal
• 24:14 fulfillment of it as well.
• 24:16 Caleb: Yes, and Paul gives us more details about how this
• 24:19 beast is going to commit the abomination.
• 24:22 He’s going to go into the Beit Hamikdash, the temple.
• 24:24 He is going to enter the Holy of holies, the Kodesh HaKodashim.
• 24:28 He’s going to sit upon the Aron HaBrit, the ark of the covenant,
• 24:32 this mercy seat, and declare his divinity that he is Yahweh.
• 24:38 How sick is that?
• 24:40 Caleb: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: “And the man of sin is revealed,
• 24:45 the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above
• 24:48 all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as
• 24:52 God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
• 24:57 Caleb: Again, we see in Revelation 11 that this is the
• 25:01 temple of God.
• 25:02 There is a sacrifice and offering system to the God of
• 25:05 Israel that takes place.
• 25:07 And guess what?
• 25:09 It’s entirely necessary, and the beast will halt it in the middle
• 25:12 of the Tribulation at the three and a half year point.
• 25:15 And when that happens and he commits the abomination, that’s
• 25:18 why we like to refer to this aka Tribulation Temple as the Temple
• 25:22 of Doom, because this is the most horrifying act that the
• 25:26 Jews will ever witness in all history.
• 25:28 Hirchie: You know, it’s heartbreaking because the Jews
• 25:31 are looking for redemption and they’re thinking it’s gonna come
• 25:34 through the ashes of the red heifer and these temple
• 25:36 sacrifices and all these things that are just temporary
• 25:39 stepping stones.
• 25:40 They’re not the answer.
• 25:42 They’re not the solution because we know the solution comes
• 25:45 through Messiah Yeshua, who’s already come and wants to
• 25:48 redeem mankind.
• 25:49 And he is the only way for them to find that true redemption,
• 25:53 but they’re looking in all the wrong places at the moment.
• 25:56 Caleb: I agree, and there’s a lot of people, namely
• 25:58 Christians, they get upset when they hear that the Jews are
• 26:01 going to reinstitute a sacrifice and offering system.
• 26:04 They say, “Yeshua’s already come.”
• 26:05 Yes, he already came, but I believe that this system is
• 26:08 entirely necessary.
• 26:09 Imagine how the Jews feel.
• 26:11 For 2000 years they have not seen with their own eyes or
• 26:15 partaken in a system of the Levitical priesthood, of
• 26:19 offering sacrifices and atonement for your sins.
• 26:22 They’ve carried out all these symbolic acts, and those
• 26:26 original acts were shadows of Yeshua Messiah.
• 26:28 They were meant to point the Jews to Messiah so they would
• 26:32 recognize Yeshua when he comes.
• 26:34 That’s why God wants it back during the Tribulation, so that
• 26:38 the whole house of Israel can be saved, as it says in Romans
• 26:40 11:25-26: that they will be able to cry out Baruch Haba B’shem
• 26:45 Adonai and recognize our Messiah Yeshua at the Second Coming.
• 26:50 Joshua: But Zechariah 13:8-9 says that that Third Temple is
• 26:54 going to be their doom because it promises that two-thirds of
• 26:57 the Jewish people will perish as a result of what the beast
• 27:02 does there.
• 27:03 That’s why we’ve always stood against the Third Temple, the
• 27:07 concept of it.
• 27:08 And people get so frustrated about this, like, “We want
• 27:10 Yeshua to come now, like we want him now, Lord, now let’s do this
• 27:13 Third Temple.”
• 27:14 But as much as we could selfishly want him to come
• 27:18 today, we need as much time as possible to get more people
• 27:22 saved, and that is what our journey should be right now.
• 27:25 We should go to the Jewish people, the Gentile, to every
• 27:28 person, and work on getting as many people rescued from that
• 27:33 promise because that is a promise.
• 27:35 That number two-thirds is a promise, but the overall number,
• 27:37 like we’ve always said on the show, two-thirds of ten people
• 27:41 versus two-thirds of 2 million people, those are vastly
• 27:44 different numbers, and we have that ability.
• 27:47 So continue to join with us as we search out and find out more
• 27:52 about this Third Temple of Doom.
• 27:54 Hirchie: Dom, dom, dom!
• 27:57 Caleb: That was very dramatic.
