The Temple
Institute
Provides education about
Mount Moriah. Jews mandate of
purification and
rebuilding of the Third
Temple and reproduction of the Temple Articles
The Temple Institute
The Temple
Institute,
founded by Yisrael Ariel is an organization in Israel known in Hebrew as Machon
HaMikdash. The Institute is
focused on the controversial endeavor of establishing the Third Temple. https://www.templeinstitute.org
The primary importance of the Temple Institute is to provide education about the great significance of Mount
Moriah; the Temple Mount in Jerusalem which is the only site in the world that
is considered Holy by the Jewish people, and the only site in the world which
God chose to rest His Divine presence through the establishment of the Holy Temple. Their
ultimate goal is to see Israel rebuild the Holy Temple in accordance with the
Biblical commandments.
After almost 2,000
years, Israel is clearly moving towards the time when the prophesied Third Holy Temple will be rebuilt on Mount Moriah. The Temple was not only the soul of the city,
but the soul and conscience of the entire earth and a “Wonder of the World”… and it will be again.
NOTE: There is a
controversy about whether the Temple should be rebuilt by Human hands or Divine
hands. Jewish tradition believes that
the TENTH and Final Red Heifer will be sacrificed and burned by the Messiah
Himself. The Temple Institute
believes that the Jews have the mandate of purification and the
rebuilding of the Temple.
Haggai 2:9 – The
third Temple will be greater than the former
9 The glory (honor) of
this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will
give peace,' says the LORD of
hosts." (NKJV)
The Tenth Red
Heifer: The Temple
Institute identified two Red
Heifer candidates, one in 1997 and another in 2002 which they had initially
declared both “Kosher”, but later found each to be
unsuitable. In recent years, a cattle
breeder in Nebraska has attempted to establish a breeding line of Red Heifers to export to Israel in the hope that this will bring
about the construction of the Third Temple and ultimately the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ.
In January of 2014, a 10th red heifer was found in America, and was
raised under strict Jewish laws and guidelines.
By August, upon close inspection
it had become disqualified on account of a change of pigmentation in a patch of
skin, as well as the appearance of white hairs in the affected area and is now
unfit according to Biblical law.
On November of 2018, it was announced that
a Red
Heifer was
born and then on March 21, 2019 another Red Heifer was born in Israel and
is being raised in an undisclosed location and under special conditions. To be KOSHER, at the
age of 2 years, no more than two
black hairs can be found on its entire body; so we are awaiting the outcomes.
Temple
Furniture and Vessels
For the past 27
years sacred Temple vessels and
Priestly garments have been created and fashioned by accomplished craftsmen
according to the exact Biblical requirements, specifically for use in the
future Holy Temple where they will be called into Divine service.
The Menorah; (the seven candlesticks) which stands today in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's old
city is the work of the Temple Institute’s full time staff of researchers. It was painstakingly crafted and created after
years of extensive research to be used exclusively in the new Holy Temple. It currently overlooks the Temple Mount. It weighs 1,000 pounds and contains forty five
kilograms of twenty four karat gold and is valued at three million dollars.
