empty prospect

From time to time we read about those who are anxiously waiting and/or working for the re-building of the Temple in Jerusalem. Who knows what the future will bring? However it may be, the prospect seems empty inasmuch as its substance ceased to exist when the veil was torn in two on the day the Messiah died.

The great prospect for Israel (as well as for all seekers of life) is found in what the Messiah established through His sacrifice for us: “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.”
(Heb.10:19-22)

  1. Why haven’t the Orthodox Jews built a new Tabernacle? We have the dimensions and uses in the OT or what they call the Torah. If I were a Jew who wanted to renew the physical Law I would at least build a new Tabernacle. Could there be some sort of miraculous intervention that woudl nto allow such?

    1. Sorry I didn’t consider your first comment more closely. . . I can’t say for certain, but because the Lord promised a place where He would put His name (ultimately fulfilled in Jerusalem through David & Solomon ~ I Kings 8:14-61), the tabernacle era would no longer be an option for those who think the Old Covenant worship is still in God’s plan. The Temple would be the thing.
