Reconstruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem

This seven minute video is a great overview of the planning going on today for the reconstruction of the Holy Temple (HaBay'eet or The House in Hebrew) in Jerusalem.  As you can see, most of the furniture and accouterments of the Temple (the golden menorrah; the table of showbread, the arc of the covenant, the priestly garments, etc.) have already been completed.

What I find particularly fascinating is that both Jews and Christians have an increased sense that the coming of Mashiach (Messiah) is near.  I don't think this is a random coincidence.  The Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) is speaking to His people, Jew and Gentile alike) that His appearing will be soon; or as the Jewish people say, "speedily, and in our day".

Shalom,
