Nope, it is not a secret military operation. It is my favourite name for the operation, if it could be brought to life. Nope, there is no Jerusalem Mission as well; it is my favorite name for a task if it would be recognized by all.
Let's have a look into these, shall we?
What is the center of the earth?
Lower Egypt, the inner core or somewhere else or something else. If you consider spiritually, or politically, it is Jerusalem. I'll attempt to explain the issue as I understand it. Why do I consider Jerusalem so? because of the Temple Mount which is also known as Mount Moriah.
Before going further into my thoughts, let me give you some facts about me. I am not a political person, meaning, I don't belong to any political party nor do I support any political party over another. I was born a Roman Catholic Christian, was raised up as a Non Roman Catholic kid, researched and studied about more religions on my own interest and ended up belonging to no religion. Currently I have no religion. My ancestry would make me a distant descendant of some hindu generation. I am not from a Christian, Judaic or Muslim country. I am from Sri Lanka.
Now into my thoughts.
Most Christians and Jews believe that there will be a temple built in the Old City of Jerusalem in the future; nobody knows when. Most of these people also believe that the location of the temple will be the location where the Dome of the Rock stands for centuries. The problem is that Dome of the Rock is a holy site for Muslims. If a temple is to be built, the Dome of the Rock has to be removed. How could it be accomplished without having a bloodshed between Muslims and Jews? More definitely, how to do this without a war between Israel, it's allies and the Arab nations and their allies? More graphically, how to do it without World War III?
When people talk about this, they say the Dome of the Rock is a holy site of Muslims and building the Jewish temple there will cause chaos. Okay, what if the temple is not Jewish at all?
Yeah, the temple was not and will not be Jewish.
The first temple that was built there was built there by a king renowned for his wealth and wisdom, Solomon, son of king David who was the second king of the Israeli people. I say Israeli people, because they were identified as Israelites, and not Jews at the time when the first temple was built.
The bible verses identify the people who king Solomon ruled as Israelites; not Jews. The temple was built by king Solomon where Israelites worshiped GOD. At the inauguration of this very first temple, 1 Kings 8:9 specifically states about these people as Israelites, or Children of Israel even from when they got out of exile from Egypt, generations ago. They are not referred to as Jews. The first temple built by king Solomon in it's glory and magnificence was not a Jewish temple, but it was an Israeli temple.
So the community that is called Jews are Israelites. By marrying a Jewish person and converting into Judaism, you can beget children that are Jews, but not Israelites. Your kids would not be Israelites, they would be a mixture of Israelites and some other peoples, so your kids would not be Israelites, but would be Jews. Understand the difference? Not all Jews can be Israelites.
Let's look at the name "Israel". The name originally did not mean a nation or a geographic region, it meant a person. It was the name of Jacob, according to the Bible, when GOD said Jacob that he is giving him a new name. Genesis 32:28 is where Jacob gets his name changed as Israel for the first time.
Okay, Jacob was worshipping a deity his lifelong. He worshiped the deity because his father Isaac and his grand father Abraham did so. They all worshiped the same deity. Now, if Isaac had a brother and worshiped a deity, then who would it be? Wouldn't it be the same deity that his father worshiped? It should be.
The children of Jacob (the Children of Israel), or the people we now know as Israelites worshiped the same deity as their forefathers Isaac and Abraham. The children of Ismail, or the people we now know as the Arabs either turned away from worshiping the deity of their forefathers or gave another name to the same deity. I say this because Arabs and Israelites don't worship the same deity today. For sure, their progenitors Jacob and Ismail worshiped the same deity.
Judaism is a religion, and Islam is a religion. The people who practice Judaism are called Jews and the people who practice Islam are called Muslims. To be honest, at the time of Jacob and Ismail, there were no religions. Sorry, but there were no religions. Jacob did not practice Judaism and Ismail did not practice Islam. They both worshiped the same deity.
The same way how Jesus was never a Christian, Allah was never a muslim, Shiva was never a hindu, Buddha was never a Buddhist and so on, Jacob and Ismail did not belong to or create any religion. They both worshiped the same deity.
As for Christians, they are not one group of people. They are of one religion, but different people. Jesus Christ was never a Christian, he worshiped the same deity as Jacob and Ismail. He went inside the temple in Jerusalem and worshiped the same deity who Jacob and Ismail worshiped.
So, if someone wanted to follow Jacob, they can go inside the temple and worship the same deity. If someone wanted to truly follow Ismail, they can go inside the temple and worship the same deity. If someone truly wanted to follow Jesus Christ, they can go inside the temple worship the same deity.
That means, all Christians, Muslims and Jews could get inside the same temple and worship the same deity. In other words, most people in the world, including the Arabs and the Israelites can worship the same deity in the temple built by Solomon. All of these groups of people were able to worship inside the second temple as well; worship was not restricted to jews. Everyone should be able to worship in the third temple too.
What would this mean for the world? Peace!
The Arab nations will become friendly to Israel, or at the bare minimum, they will all return to peace talks in front of the priests who serve in this temple, because all of them will put this temple above their nations. Christian nations will become friends with Muslim nations as their leaders will go to the same temple as a symbol of acceptance of the same GOD and place their GOD in front of themselves.
Most wars will have no reason to take place, most contradictions in the world will become irrational and most laws will change to make sure that everyone respects the moral laws coming out of this particular temple.
A study in 2015 showed that there were 33% Christians and 24% Muslims in the world. 16% had no religion. The other 27% were of other religions. So if, the Operation Temple Mount is successful, only 27% of the world population will be worshiping some other deity, 16% religiously neutral and 57% of the world population will be worshiping the same deity and be having just one most holy site in the world. If this isn't unity, then what the fcuk is? A situation like this will cause more people to turn towards the worship of the same deity as the 57% of the population. A spiritual relaxation would be enjoyed by the entire world.
Political stability will be present. Majority of nations in the world will already be under one umbrella. They will all think and decide like one. They will all turn to the priests and the temple for decision making. World peace would be eminent.
Okay, these are all good things. If these are to take place, first, the temple has to be built. The holy building for Muslims, the Dome of the Rock is sitting where the third temple ought to be. So how to make it happen?
I have heard some people saying that GOD will supernaturally remove the Dome of the Rock before the construction of the third temple. This is not very realistic. Even if GOD removed the Dome of the Rock supernaturally, that wouldn't mean that the Muslims will ask Israel to build the third temple. The muslims will simply build another building in the same place. So this is not a viable solution.
Some people say that during a war or military chaos, some kind of ammunition will destroy the Dome of the Rock either purposefully or mistakenly. Either way, if the Dome is gone, that is not to be taken as the acceptance of Muslims to building the third temple. Rather, if the Dome is damaged or removed by any means of weaponry, the results will be catastrophic. The condition in the region and around the world will be chaos. This is the worst of solutions; won't work.
Some people say that the Dome of the Rock will be destroyed by some natural disaster. This is entirely possible but is not a viable solution. If the Dome is damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster, the Muslims will not be angry on the Israelites, but that does not mean they will allow anyone to build a temple where their Dome of the Rock stood. Close enough but uncertain and is not a promise.
What could actually be done? Getting the Muslims to understand that the third temple will be a place of worship for them as well, will work. If they understood that their progenitor Ismail prayed to this GOD who will be worshiped in the third temple, they will definitely support to build the third temple. If they understand and agree to this fact, they will agree to remove the Dome of the Rock from its current location. If they agreed, they will suggest a way to or will remove the Dome by themselves with respect and happiness. This will be a miraculous feet, and will not hurt anyone. It will actually bring more understanding and stable peace in the region.
Once the Dome of the Rock is removed respectfully by the Muslims or by others with the full agreement of the Muslims, the third temple could be built.
Who can build the third temple?
Well, there are people who are actively working on it. One of them is the Temple Mount Institution. An Israeli non government organization. They have been preparing the artifacts to be inside the temple. They have been training priests to serve in the temple.
All the structures and procedures to be conducted inside the temple are explained in various text in crystal clear details. Anyone who wants to build the temple can do so with these instructions. If an accord is gained, then building the temple itself is not a big deal. Imagine, a building that 57% of the world population wants, will be built with the support of the nations that hold the 57% of the population of the entire Planet!
To speed up the building of this temple and bringing up world peace and unity soon, we can do our bit too.
I don't know if you agree to all what I say or not, but I hope you all want to have a peaceful united planet. If building the temple seems like a good idea to you, you can support the idea as well. You can donate some money to the Temple Institute, you can show your support by giving out your opinion and you can support the opinion of other people if you agree to them.
If you want, you can share my opinion as well.
Look, I am not someone prominently important in the world arena. I am just another guy you meet in the next corner. It is not an order from the Most Holy to you to do exactly what is written. It is just the thoughts of another person. You can think what seems rational to you and do it.
To me, this seems like a good idea.
