2 Chronicles 7:15 (NLT) – “My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shares two distinct insights regarding God's promises and practical leadership. First, he highlights the specific biblical promise that God's eyes and ears are uniquely attentive to prayers made at the Temple Mount, which is why our pastors personally carry thousands of your prayer requests to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Pastor Sumrall also explains a vital principle of project management found in the life of Solomon, who focused on finishing his two greatest projects, the Temple and his palace, before turning his attention to smaller towns. By prioritizing major assignments and seeing them through to completion over twenty years, leaders can avoid being distracted by minor tasks that hinder significant progress. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon
Located in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount resides on what used to be known as Mount Moriah and over the years it has been a place of many historical events. Throughout history it has changed hands many times and today is a place of great importance to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Due to all the history that is stored there, laws were put in place that banned any excavating from taking place at the site. But in 1999, an illegal excavation began which involved the careless removal of piles of dirt from under the Temple Mount. To preserve the relics that were found there, The Temple Mount Sifting Project began. Since then, 85 percent of the debris has been sifted through, though much of it remains to be studied. Join us on this series as we journey back in time and explore all the history that can be unearthed from the soil. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

The Knights Templar began as nine impoverished warrior-monks sworn to protect Christian pilgrims. Within a century, they had become one of the most powerful organizations in history—building a financial empire, pioneering early banking, influencing kings, and accumulating unimaginable wealth before being destroyed in one of history's most infamous betrayals. But did they really disappear? In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we separate accepted history from the conspiracy theories that have surrounded the Templars for more than 700 years. We explore their rise during the Crusades, the mysterious excavations beneath the Temple Mount, accusations of Baphomet worship, the dramatic arrests on Friday the 13th, Jacques de Molay's legendary curse, and the claims that the order survived through Portugal, Scotland, Freemasonry, Switzerland, Oak Island, and even modern institutions. Were the Knights Templar simply victims of political greed... or did they create a network that still influences the world today? In this episode we discuss: • The true origins of the Knights Templar • Their role in the Crusades • How they helped create modern banking • The Temple Mount excavations • The Ark of the Covenant & Holy Grail theories • Baphomet and the Templar trials • Friday the 13th and Jacques de Molay's curse • The connection to Freemasonry • Oak Island and the missing Templar treasure • Modern Knights Templar organizations • The question: Are the Knights Templar still operating today? What do you think? Did the Templars vanish in the 14th century, or did they simply go underground?

Tuesday, 14 July 2026 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. Matthew 21:21 “Answering, also, the ‘Jesus', He said to them, ‘Amen, I say to you, if you should have faith, and not you should waver, not only the ‘the fig tree' you will do, but and-if the ‘mountain, this', you should say, ‘You be borne, and you be cast into the sea', it will become.'” (CG) In the previous verse, the disciples marveled and wanted to know how the fig tree desiccated so quickly. With that, Matthew next records, “Answering, also, the ‘Jesus', He said to them, ‘Amen.'” When Jesus begins a thought with Amen, He intends for His hearers to pay close attention. The matter is something that they should more than just listen to, but consider it carefully. In this case, He next says, “I say to you, if you should have faith, and not you should waver.” The author of Hebrews defines what faith is – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Faith is something that requires confidence that something will take place. A person may say, “I have faith that you will pay me back.” It is unknown if that will actually take place, but because of past performance, a trust in the individual, the surety of consequences for failure to comply, or some other reason, the person trusts that the debt will be repaid. Wavering is a state of letting one's faith weaken for any multitude of reasons. We may have faith that a wedding will take place, but because of ten thousand little things creeping up, we may start to question if there aren't forces behind the scenes working to ensure the wedding never takes place. In such a case, we can double down and say, “I am confident of this outcome.” In the case of Jesus' words, He continues, saying, “not only the ‘the fig tree' you will do.” In other words, if His disciples have faith that they can do what Jesus did to the fig tree, it will come to pass. If the withering of the fig tree was a metaphor of the ending of the Levitical system of sacrifices under the law, and that a new and better connection to God through Jesus' work has been established, then if they believe in Jesus' fulfillment of the law, they will have that new and better connection to God. There is no reason to assume that Jesus is speaking of literally killing a fig tree to make a point. It is the metaphor that matters. Jesus' work is what ends the law in the lives of His disciples. Jesus' work is what allows full, final, and forever access to God through the better connection He establishes. From there, He next says, “but and-if the ‘mountain, this', you should say, ‘You be borne, and you be cast into the sea', it will become.” A new word is seen here, the conditional particle, kan, and-if. It is derived from kai, and, and ean, if. Combining the two results in kan, “and-if.” As for the conditional words, there is no reason to assume Jesus is speaking about a literal mountain, as if the disciples had the authority to have mountains physically moved at their command. Jesus was heading to Jerusalem. The place where the Temple Mount was. For all we know, He may have pointed at the city, or even the temple visible within the city, and said His words. The term “mountain of the temple,” or literally “mountain, the house,” is something that would have been known to them from Micah 3:12. Thus, this is not a stretch at all. Whatever took place, He is essentially stating that the mountain of the law, described by Paul in Galatians 4, is what He is referring to – “Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:21-26 The Law was given at Horeb. It is what Jerusalem and the temple worship were all about. Jesus just made a metaphor using the fig tree to make a point concerning a spiritual connection to God. There is no reason to assume He is not continuing the use of metaphor. If one believes in the full, final, finished, and forever all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ, the “mountain” of the law will be cast into the sea (a picture of chaos). The law is an obstacle to a relationship with God, not a means of a right relationship with Him, except as it is fulfilled in Jesus' work. As such, Jesus is giving advanced instruction in what He was about to accomplish and how it would eventually be realized through the use of metaphor. Life application: By taking verses such as Matthew 21:21 out of their intended context, people make many wholly inappropriate claims concerning spiritual matters, as if they have the authority to do even the most unrealistic things. At the same time, others arrogantly hint that those around them are lacking faith because they haven't claimed their way into health, prosperity, etc. This type of theology is wholly inappropriate and demonstrates a shallow understanding of the word of God. Catchy verses are pulled out of their intended context and thrown around like talismans. If the entire Bible is read while keeping passages in their intended dispensational context, people would find out that those being butchered in Africa are just as loved and tended to as those who have million-dollar houses, fancy cars, and who take long vacations. God's love for a person does not necessarily transfer to wealth, health, and overall prosperity. His love for His people is based on their faith in Him. The Bible promises a future where all trials, sadness, and difficulties will be behind us. But this is not a promise for our lives at this time. If those things come about, that is great. We can thank God for the abundance. But it is better to live in poverty with strong faith in Jesus than to live in wealth without it. Fix your eyes, hearts, and affections on Him regardless of what you are going through. Have faith in His promises at all times. This is what will please the Lord more than anything else. Lord God, help us to be people of faith, not just when things are going well, but at all times. May our lives and actions be honoring of You while we walk in faith, anxiously anticipating what lies ahead. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.
Telling the Story: Part 1 Acts 7:1-16 by William Klock Last Sunday, in Acts 6, we saw Stephen confronted as he preached in the synagogue. We don't know exactly what he was preaching, but from the accusations that were made against him, he was—of course—preaching that Jesus is the Messiah, but must also have been talking about the way in which Jesus and the Spirit fulfil God's promises to Israel, the law and the prophets, the torah and the temple. We can surmise that, because what they accuse him of is saying blasphemous things against God in general and specifically against Moses. They accuse him of saying that Jesus will destroy the temple and change the customs that Moses had handed down to them. We can surmise this, too, because this is what we've been hearing Peter preach in the earlier parts of Acts. Never in the early church do we see the apostles or anyone else just launching into a sermon about Jesus. They always and consistently preach Jesus as part of the story of the God of Israel and his people. That's important. In fact, it's critical; it's essential. Leave out the story that leads to Jesus and you just may lose Jesus himself. That's what happened with Marcion of Sinope back in the Second Century. His was one of the very first heresies the church had to confront. He threw away the Old Testament. He believed the God of the Old Testament was an evil, sadistic god and not the same God we see in the New. So he just unhitched the Old Testament and left it behind. And that heresy has been cropping up throughout church history in one form or another ever since. A few years ago, ex-evangelical pastor, Andy Stanley, caused a big stir when he preached that the church has to unhitch itself from the Old Testament. Even if we don't cut out the Old Testament from our Bibles, even if we cherish the Old Testament, if we lose the story it contains, we're going to get ourselves into trouble. Men like Tertullian and Justin Martyr addressed Marcion and he was eventually excommunicated. The church would always hold tenaciously to the Old Testament. But it wasn't even a hundred and fifty year later that we started to undermine its story-telling. As the church became increasingly dominated by gentiles, we started to read the Old Testament (and the New), not as the story of the God of Isreal and his people, but as a book of moral allegories and of types that pointed to Jesus. We flattened it out and made it abstract. We “spiritualised” it. We knew the story of the God of Isreal and his people was there, but we denigrated it. That was the simplest, the least important, the least “spiritual” way to read the Bible. And by the grace of God we didn't lose the gospel, but gradually we started putting the em-PHA-sis in the wrong places. What we see in the Bible, in the Gospels, in the teaching of Jesus, and in the teaching of the apostles in their epistles, and in the examples we see through Acts, is that the good news about Jesus is deeply rooted in the Old Testament and in Israel's story. You cannot separate the old and the new. The story tells us the problem of human sin and rebellion and of the corruption of Gods' good creation. The story shows us how God has stepped into the world to set it to rights. The story shows—long before we ever get to Jesus—the goodness and faithfulness of God. The story shows why the Israelites could and should trust the God who spoke through Moses and the Prophets—and eventually through Jesus and the apostles. The story prepared them—and it prepares us—for Jesus, for his death and his resurrection and his ascension and his kingdom and it prepares us to know the Spirit and to be the temple, purified by the blood of Jesus and made a dwelling place for God, to be a the truly heaven-on-earth people God had promised to make Israel; to be the beginnings, the firstfruits of his new creation, his new age, his kingdom. That's what Stephen was getting at when he reminded his fellow Jews about the day when Jesus had said that he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days. It wasn't about the end of Moses or torah or temple; it was about fulfilling them. They were signposts point into God's future—a future in which God would live with his people, not in a building, but actually in them, and a future in which the law would no longer be carved on stone tablets, but written on human hearts. But they refused to hear. They drummed up false witnesses and they dragged Stephen before the Sanhedrin, the governing body of the Jews. Look at Acts 7. [Page 1086 in the pew Bibles.] Having been dragged before the Sanhedrin, “The high priest addressed Stephen. ‘Are these things true?' he said. ‘Brothers and fathers, hear me,' replied Stephen. ‘The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he moved to live in Haran.'” Let me pause there. Notice how Stephen is going all the way back to the beginning. He speaks first of the God of glory, which might not seem very important to us, but it's noteworthy that “God of glory” is not a common way to speak of God in the Old Testament. In fact, Psalm 29:3 is the only place this title is used. On the one hand, I suspect Stephen uses it to make the point that he has no interest in denigrating or blaspheming the God of Irael. Stephen is invested in proclaiming the glory of God, and that's exactly what he's about to do by reminding them of their own story—and, most importantly, how it ends with Jesus and the Spirit. But Stephen is also invoking Psalm 29 as it ascribes glory to the God of creation, the God who is enthroned, sovereign over the seas and over the forests, sovereign over the nations, the God who blesses his people as they cry out in his temple, “Glory!”. This is the God of creation. And then to mention Abraham in the next breath is to set the opening scene. God created the heavens and earth. God created human beings to serve as his stewards and his priests in this creation. And we rebelled. We broke it. We corrupted it. We introduced darkness where there was supposed to be light. We drove a great wedge between heaven and earth, between God and man as we claimed his creation for ourselves, to do with as we pleased, to try to rule it as if we are gods ourselves. To write our own stories instead of living in the one he's given us. And it was into that darkness, into that void in which men and women had lost all knowledge of their creator and had turned to idols, God spoke. And he called to Abraham. That call was the beginning of a new story—a story to set creation and to set humanity to rights. A story that would, one day, culminate in God returning to dwell with his people. It's the story that everyone in Israel new, inside-out, backwards and forwards, top to bottom. And yet something had gone wrong in the telling. Because when God returned, Israel had rejected him. Because when Stephen proclaimed Jesus and the Spirit, the people accused him of blasphemy. Because as faithful as they were to the story, they hadn't got it quite right. Remember last week I talked about how you might take a trip to the other side of the country. You drive your car to Nanaimo, then you leave it there and take a ferry to Horseshoe Bay, then you get off the ferry and take a bus downtown, and then you get off the bus to get on Skytrain to the airport, and then fly in airplane to your final destination. That journey might break down at any number of points. We might really, really like to drive our car and we can't bear to think of leaving it parked at the ferry terminal and taking a ferry instead. And so we refuse to stop driving. When our friend tells us you can't drive on water, we get angry. We accuse him of being a car-hater. We accuse him of saying that cars are bad and evil and no good. And we wait for the ferry to leave and then we drive full-speed down the ramp and crash into the water and drown. Not because cars are bad, but because cars were simply never designed to drive across water. That's what's going on with Stephen's accusers. Stephen never said that torah or temple were bad things. They were good things. They were wonderful, spectacular, glorious gifts of God's great grace. They were signposts leading Israel to Jesus. It's just that in this new age, God's given something even better. There's a new law and a new temple. Those things were the promise, but now the fulfilment of the promise is here. But they don't want to hear that. But let's image you managed to transition from car to ferry to bus to Skytrain and you get to the airport, but instead of looking at the departures board to find your gate, you just walked down the concourse. And you looked for the gate you liked best. You stopped at one and you looked out the window and on the horizon, across the Strait, you could see Vancouver Island. And it was comforting and you decided this was the right gate. You could sit and wait for your plane to Montreal and never lose sight of the Island. And you waited and waited, but no plane came. And eventually you asked a gate agent, and she said, “Oh, you're at the wrong gate. Your flight's leaving from such-and-such gate.” But you didn't listen. You liked this gate with the view of home. And a while later they announced your flight—and the gate—but you ignored it. Eventually you even heard them page you: “Passenger So-and-so, this is your last call for boarding at gate such-and-such.” But you just sat there. This gate was nice. Everyone else was wrong. Eventually the plane will come. And that's what most of Isreal did. The Messiah came to fulfil the law and the prophets, but people already had their ideas of who and what the Messiah was be and to do. Because they'd got the story wrong. Not all wrong. They'd got to the airport after all, but wrong enough that they were convinced it was this gate, not that one. So Stephen's going to do what Jesus had done and what he'd heard Peter do. He's going back to the very beginning of the story and he's going to tell it again. He's going to tell it so they can understand that leaving the car and getting on the ferry doesn't mean you hate cars or think they're evil—and that the same goes for Moses and the Prophets and torah and temple. And he's going to tell it so that when they do get to the airport, they be willing to trust the departure board and the gate agents and the pages about the right gate—so that they'll see how the story was, all along, leading them to Jesus. The real key here is to pay attention to the bits of the story that Stephen—inspired by the Holy Spirit—decides to emphasise. There are a thousand parts to this story, but—Stephen is saying—look at it this way and you can't help but recognise that in Jesus, the Messiah has come. So, again, picking up at verse 2: “The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he moved to live in Haran. ‘Leave your land and your family,' he said to him, ‘and go to the land which I will show you.' So he left the land of the Chaldeans and went to live in Haran. Then, from there, after his father's death, God moved him on to this land in which you now live. God didn't give him an inheritance here, not even a place to stand up in. Instead, he promised (when Abraham still had no child) that he would give it as a possession to his seed after him. This is what God said to him: that his seed would be strangers in a foreign land, that they would serve there as slaves, and that they would be afflicted for four hundred years. But God said that he would judge the nation that had enslaved them, and that they would then come out and worship him ‘on this mountain'. And he gave them the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and he circumcised him on the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.” You can't understand Judaism or Christianity without understanding Abraham. This is where the story of God's rescue begins. With this call, God's plan to set the world to rights begins to unfold. Israel wasn't just some random nation in history. God's calling Abraham out of the darkness of ignorance and sin and idolatry is what sets the story on its trajectory to Jesus, it's what establishes that this is the story of how God will rescue human beings and fix his creation that we broke. It's like Stephen is answering the charge of blasphemy by affirming that, no, he is actually affirming the story they knew; he's affirming God's call; he's affirming the special status of Israel. Just because we also had to take a ferry, doesn't mean the car was a bad thing or that it didn't have a good and useful purpose. And Stephen makes a point of zeroing in on Genesis 15. That's the part of Genesis where Abraham has been faithful to God and followed him to the holy land, and God responds by establishing his covenant with him. We see this, too, over and over in the New Testament, especially with Paul in Galatians 3 and Romans 4. This is a vitally important part of the story that leads us to Jesus. And so Stephen stresses: God promised the land to Abraham's descendants. The most Abraham would ever have it was a burial plot that he had purchase. But after his descendants had been strangers in a foreign land for four hundred years—he's talking about Israel living as slaves in Egypt—he would judge that land and its people, and he would bring Abraham's children out of Egypt to worship him “on this mountain”. Why was that important? Because it shows how God works. He makes promises and he keeps them, but he does so in his own good time. If Abraham hadn't know better, he might have thought God had failed. Moses might have said, “I don't think this is what was promised.” But instead, Abraham trusted. Instead, Moses believed and followed God as he did a new thing. And I think that's why Stephen phrases this bit about “on this mountain”—that was originally God's promise to Moses that he would bring the Israelites back to the place where God had met him in the burning bush and they would worship there, but Stephen connects that with the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Already—long before Jesus—God was fulfilling his promises in ways that were unexpected. Mount Sinai points to Mount Zion. For Jews in the First Century, the temple had become a symbol of the land of Israel and of God's promise to Abraham. That's why they were so angry at Stephen when they thought he was blaspheming the temple and saying it was no good or that it would be destroyed. You might as well say—in their thinking—that God was going to abandon his promise to Abraham. So Stephen connects this all together. He affirms the promise; he affirms the covenant; he affirms God's promise of the land; and most of all he affirms the temple. Most importantly, what he's doing is affirming that God has called this people and given them a purpose. Through them he's going to save the world. They knew that, but they'd muddled the story just enough that they'd got the “how” part of it wrong. Stephen's on his way to Moses now. We'll look at that part of what he says next week. There's too much to his speech to cover it all in one sermon. But on the way to Moses, Stephen pauses. He needs to remind them of the part of the story about Joseph. Look at verses 9-16: “Now the patriarchs became angry with Joseph, and were jealous of him. They sold him into Egypt. But God was with him, and rescued him from all his troubles an gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, making him ruler over Egypt and over all his household. But then there was a famine over the whole of Egypt and Canaan, which resulted in great hardship. Our ancestors couldn't find food to eat. Jacob, however, heard that there was grain in Egypt, and sent our ancestors there on an initial visit. On their second trip, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and revealed to Pharaoh what family he was from. So Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his family, seventy-five people in all. Jacob came to Egypt and he and our ancestors died there. They were brought back to Shechem and buried in the tomb which Abraham had bought with silver, at a named price, from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.” Before Stephen gets to Moses, there's Joseph and Joseph's story. Abraham (and Moses as we'll see next week) point to Jesus through their calling and the promises God made to them. Joseph points to Jesus another way and he's particularly relevant to the current situation. Joseph was rejected by his brothers, but it was precisely in that rejection that God was work. It was through his rejection and through Joseph's unjust suffering that God raised him to govern the whole land of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. When famine came to Canaan and Egypt, it was Joseph whom his brothers came to for food—the man they'd been jealous of, the man they'd abused, the man they nearly murdered, the man they sold into slavery. And yet, what happened when they came to Joseph. Instead of being angry, instead of retaliating, instead of getting revenge, Joseph was gracious. He wept for joy to see his brothers again and invited them to come and live with him in a land of plenty. I hope that sounds familiar. I hope you can hear echoes of Jesus there. I can't help but think of the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son and the rejoicing that Jesus says happens in heaven when sinners repent. I hope you can see in Joseph's story, particularly as Stephen tells it, how God was preparing his people for his son. This is how God works: through humility, through rejection, through letting sin and evil and human rebellion do their worst, and then rising triumphant. This is how God works, Stephen declares: He is loving and gracious and merciful toward those he has created. One day, when he finally finishes the work of setting creation to rights, it'll mean wiping from its face all those who persist in their rebellion, who persist in sin and evil. God does not rejoice in the destruction of those he loves. And so he rejoices—just as Joseph did—to welcome the repentant, to welcome those who want to be part of God's new world, to welcome those who come to be washed clean in the blood of Jesus and to be filled with his Spirit, to become new creations themselves, to become part of his new temple. Stephen's pointing back to Joseph to tell the Sanhedrin: There is grace, there is forgiveness for you too—even for those who cried out “Crucify him!” I suspect there were some men there in that meeting of the Sanhedrin that day who saw where Stephen was going with this. Like I said, this is as far as we'll go with Chapter 7 today. It's too much for one sermon. But the real takeaway from these first sixteen verses is, I think, simply to understand what Stephen, inspired by the Spirit and steeped in the scriptures, is doing here. This is—or it should be, because it sadly usually isn't—this is the great art of Christian apologetic and Christian preaching and the proclamation of the good news about Jesus. It's to tell the story of God and his people, to have the wisdom to know which of the thousand and one details is relevant to the immediately situation or immediate audience, and then to tell that story as the story that leads to Jesus as its fulfilment and its climax on the one hand, but that also proclaims God's glory by showing his goodness and faithfulness in the story that brings us to Jesus. Brothers and Sisters, the Old Testament is not just a collection of useful stories for teaching morals nor is it a collection of allegories that foreshadow Jesus. It is, first and foremost, the story of how God has been at work to save us and to save his creation from sin and death. And we need to learn it. We need to learn it well. So that we can tell the story in a way that doesn't leave us behind as the ferry sails away or that leads people stranded at the wrong gate at the airport. We need to tell the story in way that honours the old covenant, torah and temple, but we also need to tell it in a way that reveals Jesus as the fulfilment of them, a story that faithfully follows the signposts as they lead us to Jesus and to the Spirit, to the cross and to the empty tomb, to the ascension and to the creation of this new temple, not made of stones, but made of people washed clean by Jesus and filled with God's own Spirit. We need to learn to tell the story so it gives glory to God for his goodness and faithfulness, for his grace and mercy, not just when we get to the part about Jesus, but at every step of the way: from Abraham to Joseph to Moses to David to Jesus—and then to you and to me, and to those who are lost and whom God so longs to rejoice over. Let's pray: Father, in the Collect we acknowledged your goodness and your promises that exceed all we can desire. Remind us always that we know your goodness, because we know your story. Capture our hearts and minds, we pray, by the glory of that story, that we might immerse ourselves in it, that we might meditate on it, that we might in habit it, and that we might tell it over and over and over until the whole world knows your glory. Through Jesus our Lord, through the one who embodies your glory in all its fullness, we pray. Amen.
The Smith and Rowland Show takes on a provocative question in this episode: could the push for a third temple in Israel lead to something far bigger than most people expect? Jeff and Alan react to a recent prophecy news article about rising support in Israel for rebuilding the temple on the Temple Mount, including reports of temple preparation, priestly training, and sacred vessels already being made. They also connect that discussion to Ezekiel, 2 Thessalonians, Daniel, and the larger biblical timeline surrounding the tribulation, the Antichrist, and the return of Christ. Along the way, they challenge some recent media claims about dispensationalism, Israel, and church history, and they make a strong case for reading Scripture literally when it speaks about the end times. The conversation also turns practical, with a look at spiritual holding patterns, worship in this generation, and why so many believers sense that something major is shifting. If you follow Bible prophecy, Israel news, end-times teaching, or dispensational theology, this episode gives you a lot to think about. Sponsored by kingdompropheticsociety.org Watch, compare Scripture with Scripture, and think carefully about where the current news is pointing. #BibleProphecy #Israel #ThirdTemple #EndTimes #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe Ark of the Covenant vanished from history in 586 BC — and for 2,600 years, everyone from ancient pharaohs to Nazi SS officers has been searching for it. In Part 2 of their deep dive, Jorge, Eric, and Sean break down the most compelling theories about where the world's most powerful relic actually ended up.The guys go inside Ethiopia's extraordinary claim — where 45 million Orthodox Christians believe the Ark sits inside a tiny, heavily guarded chapel in Axum, protected by a single monk who takes its secrets to his grave. They unpack the Kebra Nagast, the tale of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and why the most fully developed theory in history might also be the most flawed.Then they dig into the Copper Scroll — an actual treasure map discovered in the Dead Sea caves listing 64 hidden locations and billions of dollars in sacred relics. Could the Ark be buried somewhere in the Judaean wilderness? Is it still hidden beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, right under the Dome of the Rock? Or did the Babylonians simply melt it down for gold centuries ago?The episode also covers the Nazi occult — the real Himmler, the real Ahnenerbe, and why the most militarized regime in modern history sent government-funded expeditions to track down a biblical artifact. Spoiler: they didn't find it either.By the end, Jorge, Eric, and Sean land on where they think the Ark actually is — and the answer is both the simplest and most deflating theory of all.Topics covered:The Ethiopian claim and the Chapel of the Tablet in AxumThe Kebra Nagast, King Solomon, and Menelik IGraham Hancock's The Sign and the Seal and the Elephantine theoryThe Book of 2 Maccabees and the Mount Nebo caveThe Copper Scroll and the Dead Sea treasure mapThe Temple Mount theory — still buried in Jerusalem?Himmler, the SS Ahnenerbe, and the Nazi hunt for the occultDid the Ark ever have real powers — or was it just a very important box?Haven't listened to Part 1 yet?

This video is about WVW BTIP Episode 838 Trump Admin says TriFaith Temple Mount Part 2 with Dr Rob Lindsted and Mark Lindsted
Friday, 5 June 2026 Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, Matthew 20:17 “And ascending, the ‘Jesus to Jerusalem', He took twelve disciples apart alone, and in the road, He said to them,” (CG) In the previous verse, the final thought concerning the parable of the workers in the vineyard was given. With that complete, a new direction takes place, beginning with, “And ascending, the ‘Jesus to Jerusalem'.” Regardless of the elevation where one is, the Bible always describes the journey to Jerusalem as an ascent. In fact, there are many locations with a higher elevation in the land itself. The highest among them is Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, which sits at 7,336 feet above sea level. After that, many peaks are higher than Jerusalem, a few of them are Mount Ha'Ari, Mount Ramon, Mount ‘Arif, Mount ‘Ofa'im, Mount Hilla, Mount Zafrir, and Mount Hillel. These and other points exceed the elevation of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which sits at 2,430 feet. Despite this, the trek there is considered an ascent. Of this trek, Charles Ellicott says, “The narrative is not continuous, and in the interval between Matthew 20:16-17 we may probably place our Lord's ‘abode beyond Jordan' (John 10:40), the raising of Lazarus, and the short sojourn in the city called Ephraim (John 11:54). This would seem to have been followed by a return to Persea, and then the journey to Jerusalem begins.” If this is correct, it can be found in what is known as a harmonization of the gospels, which several reliable sources have taken the time to put together, showing the exact chronology of events throughout the four gospels. Of this ascent, the narrative continues, saying, “He took twelve disciples apart alone.” At this time, there were probably many people with them on the trek, but Jesus wanted to specifically provide information to the twelve that the others were not yet to be privy to. Therefore, Matthew continues, “and in the road, He said to them.” The verse excitedly ends as if a breath is needed before continuing to the precious words of Jesus to His twelve selected apostles. Life application: It is important to confirm information in commentaries, not taking them at face value until verified and considered in relation to what the Bible says. In John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible, he records the following concerning this verse – “Which was situated (f) in the highest part of the land of Israel: the land of Israel, is said to be higher than any other land whatever; and the temple at Jerusalem, higher than any part of the land of Israel; wherefore Christ's going to Jerusalem, is expressed by going up to it.” His footnote says his information was derived from “T. Bab. Sanhedrim, fol. 87. 1.” When John Gill recorded this, in the 1700s, he was using what information was available to him. Unfortunately, the Babylonian Talmud presented him with erroneous information, which has since been passed on to the minds of those who have read it. At many times, the ascent to Jerusalem is not a physical ascent at all. However, it is always a theological ascent as one moves closer to the point where man meets with the God of Israel. That is why it can be said that a person on Mount Hermon, high above Jerusalem in elevation, will ascend as he makes the trek to Jerusalem. Remember this as you read the Bible. John Gill certainly didn't intentionally provide wrong information, but for some reason, the compilers of the Babylonian Talmud did. They probably knew what was said was incorrect, but they recorded it anyway. Understanding that this biblical elevation of Jerusalem is stated as it is, it then becomes more pertinent when considering Paul's words in Galatians – “For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:24-26 At one point, the city of Jerusalem was considered the pinnacle of elevation because it was where God was dealing with men, interacting with them through temple rites and rituals. That ended with the completed work of Christ. The veil was torn, and access to God through Jesus Christ was made available. The temple in Jerusalem, which ministers the law of Moses, is not, nor will it ever again be, the pinnacle of God's interactions with man. It is a place of bondage leading to death. It is a place of enmity with God. Wherever Jesus Christ is, that is the place where the spiritual ascent is now realized. That is because He fulfilled the law, set it aside, and introduced the New Covenant in His blood. To miss this point has led to incredibly bad theology in relation to end times events (eschatology) within the church. People openly applaud the coming construction of the temple in Jerusalem, which will reintroduce sacrifices based on the Law of Moses. It is the very thing Christ came to abolish, and yet Christians actively support this diabolical event. This should not be. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus alone, mourning over Israel's failure to see the One they have missed for so long. Pray for them. Many will die before their time of realization comes about. Pray to God that eyes will be opened before that tragic day which lies ahead comes upon them. Lord God, we lift up the lost in the world, knowing that a day of judgment lies ahead for all unless the word gets to them before it arrives. May You work mightily through missionaries, social media, and the simple but effective words of believers around the world to just open their mouths and speak about Your goodness as seen in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan interviews Esther Ford, a survivor of MKUltra and other alleged “globalist” programs, as well as the hidden twin sister of the Sue Ford (Brice Taylor). Esther recounts memories she describes as pre-Adamic trauma within her human spirit, involving deception, fragmentation, demonic defilement, warfare, and participation in satanic “grid lines.” She claims these experiences affected her earthly life and required extensive deliverance through Jesus, prayer, and the renouncing of spiritual agreements. Throughout the interview, Esther describes underground facilities connected to the Rothschild family, where she claims infants were imprisoned and genetic experiments created “monsters.” She also alleges sexual abuse involving popes and Jesuit generals. According to Esther, she was involved in what she calls the “Hitler Project,” advanced technologies, telepathic UFO travel, off-planet activity and experiences beneath the Temple Mount, including childbirth and children being placed into positions of influence and power structures.The episode also highlights Bride Ministries' schools, survivor housing initiatives, and “survivor lands.” Esther additionally shares accounts of angelic interventions and supernatural encounters during prayer and deliverance sessions.You can learn more about Bride Ministries Institute here: https://www.bridemovement.com/instituteThen we ENCOURAGE you to do 4 QUICK THINGS!!Sign up to be a podcast memberwww.danduval.comBe sure to check out and like our new Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DiscoveringTruthNetworkSubscribe to the new podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nxloF2rt7-dXkjppGHdFAAND Subscribe to our Rumble Channel, where we will post all of our interviews that are TOO HOT for YouTube!DiscoveringTruthNetwork (rumble.com)View less
Pastor digs deeper into the question "where was the temple gate that was called the 'Beautiful Gate' located?" In Acts 3:1-2 we see that there was a lame man begging for alms at the Beautiful Gate. Pastor opens with stating that we are not sure exactly where it was located, but that there are several theories on its location. Several locations have been proposed: One of the earliest proposed locations is that it may have been the Eastern Gate or the Sushan Gate. However, surviving literature says this gate was not used by the people to go in and out of the Temple Complex, but was used for the religious practices like taking sacrifices out. Without the coming and going of people the lame man would not have been begging there. Another proposal is the Nicanor Gate made of bronze. It was one of the gates in a secondary wall that surrounded the Sanctuary area within the Temple Complex, but there is a good deal of evidence that it was not a practice to allow the lame into the inner court area. The third proposal has been suggested by many as the gate the lame man would have used. It is a gate located at the southern end of the Complex and known as the Double Gate, the main gate through which the people would have entered the Temple Complex. Pastor Dodge references a book by archeologist and architect, Leen Ritmeyer, entitled "The Quest: Revealing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem." Ritmeyer suggests that the Double Gate is where the lame man would have been. Pastor shares recent archeological work exposing the massive pilgrim route from the Pool of Saloam up to the Double Gate entrance of the Temple Complex. Some of the "Southern Steps" leading up to the Double Gate from Jesus' day and before, can still be seen today. While we do not know exactly where the lame man was that day, what we do know is that he was changed. In the hours after the lame man's miraculous healing remarkable things followed and that's what we will look at in our exploration of Acts chapter 4 of our study "God ACTS! Then and Now."

The conversation surrounding the Third Temple is intensifying in Jerusalem as Israeli officials, rabbis, and religious leaders openly discuss sovereignty over the Temple Mount and preparations for a future temple. In this episode of The Week in Bible Prophecy, we examine major developments coming out of Israel and what they could mean from a prophetic perspective.
The conversation surrounding the Third Temple is intensifying in Jerusalem as Israeli officials, rabbis, and religious leaders openly discuss sovereignty over the Temple Mount and preparations for a future temple. In this episode of The Week in Bible Prophecy, we examine major developments coming out of Israel and what they could mean from a prophetic perspective.
Bible prophecy reveals that a Third Temple will stand on Jerusalem's Temple Mount during the Tribulation. One popular theory holds that the Dome of the Rock must be removed first. But does this line up with the biblical data? How close are we to seeing Jewish sacrifices resume on the Temple Mount? The stunning prophetic convergence visible today shows the signs of the seasons. Mark Lindsted joins Josh Davis to explore these topics on today's Watchman on the Wall episode.

A brand-new book makes a compelling, biblical case that the coming Third Temple will be built on the Temple Mount, but not where many prophecy teachers claim. What if the site is already prepared for the Temple to be built? Weaving together biblical, historical, and archaeological data, Mark Lindsted joins Josh Davis to solve the Third Temple mystery on today's Watchman on the Wall episode.
The Middle East is balancing between war and peace as tensions rise between Iran, Israel, and the United States.

13 Jews were just arrested on the Temple Mount. They weren't arrested for causing a disturbance, or for harassing Muslims, they were arrested because in an act of bold defiance of the secular status quo, they attempted to reinstate the sacred Shavuot sacrifice in the courts where the Temple stood. We'll get into all the details on this, what it means, and the fallout afterwards. Also a massive assassination plot against Ivanka Trump was just uncovered and the man who was responsible for it turned out to be someone very unexpected. There are major ramifications with this story too. Justin discusses all of this on today's show.

Today's artifact is actually a location and Michael's favorite place to visit in Jerusalem due to its significance. Where was the exact place that Jesus was questioned by the Sanhedrin and denied by Peter the night before His crucifixion? Some believe it was Caiphas's House at the Church of St. Peter. However, that site does not fit the time, biblical account, nor the correct location. Perhaps it was instead the Palatial Mansion that was excavated in the late 1900's near the Temple Mount?

Why does the Temple Mount still matter? In this powerful conversation, Rabbi Yehuda Glick shares his lifelong mission to restore the Temple Mount as a place of prayer, worship, and unity for all nations. Drawing from Scripture, history, and personal experience, he explains why Zion is more than a location - it's a calling.

Today in History: The day Samuel the Prophet died (according to tradition, see 1 Samuel 25:1). Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day): In 1967 during the Six Day War, Israel's paratroopers recaptured the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. ”This morning, the Israel Defense Forces liberated Jerusalem. We have united Jerusalem, the divided capital of Israel. We have returned to the holiest of our holy places, never to part from it again. To our Arab neighbors we extend, also at this hour…our hand in peace” (Defense Minister Moshe Dayan).This week's portion is called Bamidbar (In the desert) TORAH PORTION: Numbers 3:40–51GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 23:44–56What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

The Gemara in Masechet Berachot (3a) teaches that the night is divided into three periods, and at the points when one period leads to the other, Hashem "roars like a lion," bemoaning the fact that our sins compelled him to destroy the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Bet Yosef brings from earlier sources that it is proper to join Hashem at those moments and lament the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Kabbalists, however, determined that this should be done at the point of Hasot, halachic midnight. This is the time best suited to mourn the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash, the Jewish People's dispersion, and the death of the righteous Sadikim. The Kabbalists taught that it is especially important not to sleep at the moment of Hasot, as this brings upon the person a certain level of impurity. For many generations, the practice of Tikkun Hasot – reciting a special prayer mourning the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash at Hasot – was observed by the Sadikim. There are accounts of how the synagogue in Halab (Aleppo, Syria) would be filled at Hasot by men reciting Tikkun Hasot and then remaining to learn Torah. Tikkun Hasot is normally recited in a manner reflecting mourning – on the floor, without shoes, wearing sackcloth, with ashes on one's head, and crying loudly. Hacham Baruch Ben-Haim shared with us his memories of his father reciting Tikkun Hasot while sitting on the floor. People in our community remember seeing Hacham Shaul Kassin crying on the floor while reciting Tikkun Hasot. I had the opportunity to join the special Thursday night Tikkun Hasot service led by Rav Benayahu Shmueli in Jerusalem, near the Temple Mount, in close proximity to the site of the Kodesh Ha'kodashim (the inner sanctum of the Bet Ha'mikdash). For two hours, the small group of Rabbis sit on the floor, weep, and sing, beseeching Hashem to rebuild the Bet Ha'mikdash. Although Tikkun Hasot is not required as a strict Halachic obligation, Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes that one who is in any event awake shortly before Hasot should certainly remain awake a bit longer in order to recite Tikkun Hasot. It should be noted the during the winter months, Hasot is around 11:30-11:45pm, which is not very late for many people, and so it is certainly worthwhile for those who are awake at that time to recite this special prayer. Halachic Hasot is defined as the midway point between sunset and sunrise. Some claimed that Hacham Ovadia Yosef permitted during Elul reciting Selihot – which may not be recited prior to Hasot – after the time of Hasot in Jerusalem, wherever one is located. This would mean that in New York, for example, it would be permissible to recite Selihot already in the late afternoon hours. However, Rav Yisrael Bitan writes that these reports are unreliable. Nevertheless, with regard to Tikkun Hasot, Rav Bitan cites Hacham David Yosef as ruling in Halacha Berura that there is room to allow reciting Tikkun Hasot shortly before midnight in areas west of Eretz Yisrael. There is a view among the Poskim that permits reciting Tikkun Hasot even before Hasot, and so although we do not follow this opinion, we can combine this lenient ruling with the possibility that the time of Hasot depends on the moment of Hasot in Jerusalem. Since in any event Tikkun Hasot is not required as a strict Halachic obligation, there is room to rely on these two lenient positions to permit reciting Tikkun Hasot even before halachic midnight, if it is after Hasot in Jerusalem.
Send us Fan MailOne city keeps pulling the world's attention like a magnet, and the Bible says that isn't an accident. We walk through why Jerusalem is described as God's chosen city, why Zion shows up across Scripture so often, and why end times prophecy repeatedly returns to the same geographic ground. If you've ever wondered why headlines feel permanently stuck on Jerusalem, this is a guided tour through the biblical framework behind that obsession.We connect Luke 21's warning about Jerusalem being “trampled” to real history, including the destruction of 70 AD, the long centuries of foreign rule, and the shock of modern restoration. From there, we pivot into Daniel 9 and the prophetic “missing seven” years, explaining why many teachers link that passage to the tribulation, the Antichrist, and a future disruption of temple sacrifice. That leads straight to the Temple Mount, where spiritual claims, political sovereignty, and prophetic expectations collide in a way few other places on earth can match.Then we open Zechariah 12 and 14, where Jerusalem becomes a “cup of trembling” for the nations and the stage for a final confrontation, followed by God's intervention. We also spend time on Zechariah 12:10's haunting line about looking on the one “pierced,” and how that connects to repentance, Messianic hope, and Romans 11's “fullness of the Gentiles.” If you want a clearer map of biblical prophecy, Jerusalem, Israel, and the end of the age, press play and follow the thread all the way to the Mount of Olives.If this sharpened your understanding, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who follows Israel and Bible prophecy, and leave a review with the biggest question you're still wrestling with.Support the showThank you for listening!

Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Investigative mythologist William Henry explains how Babylonian prophecy, Judeo-Christian tradition, and Islam converge on the Temple Mount and the Ark of the Covenant, and why that timeline may still be unfolding today, in episode 244 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.William Henry is an investigative mythologist, author, and longtime researcher of human spiritual transformation, known for his work on Ancient Aliens and his Gaia series The Awakened Soul: The Lost Science of Ascension. With over 30 years of research and multiple books including Cloak of the Illuminati and The Watchers, his work explores the intersection of ancient texts, ascension science, and emerging technologies, including transhumanism and the evolving relationship between consciousness and the human body.In this conversation, Faust and William Henry challenge the conventional view of the Ark of the Covenant, suggesting it may have been something far more than a relic: a form of ancient technology tied to human transformation. They explore how overlapping messianic timelines across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam continue to shape real-world events, while tracing a hidden thread that links the Anunnaki, Osiris, and Jesus through a shared concept of the “garment of light.” As the discussion moves into the present, the question shifts: are transhumanism and artificial intelligence a break from the past, or the latest phase of the same ancient impulse to transcend the human body?In this episode: • Temple Mount prophecy: why Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all point to the same contested site • Ark of the Covenant: relic, weapon, or lost technology tied to ascension and human transformation • Solomon's Temple and Babylon: how destruction, exile, and prophecy created a timeline still unfolding today • The Messianic race: why multiple religions may be working toward the same prophesied endgame • The “garment of light”: the hidden link between the Anunnaki, Osiris, and Jesus • Iraq Stargate theory: what Saddam Hussein was allegedly searching for in ancient Babylon • Sacred sound and resonance: the lost technology behind megaliths and suppressed scientific breakthroughs • The Anunnaki and human origins: genetic intervention, the neocortex, and the rise of civilization • Transhumanism and AI: are modern technologies continuing an ancient blueprint for human evolution • The future of humanity: what happens when AI replaces labor and reshapes human purposeIf these ancient timelines, religious prophecies, and emerging technologies are all pointing in the same direction, the real question isn't what's coming — it's whether we're recognizing it in time.00:00:00 - Teaser & Introduction00:03:11 - The Middle East, The Temple Mount & The Ark of the Covenant00:08:22 - Messianic Prophecies & Modern Political Symbolism00:17:16 - Saddam Hussein, Nebuchadnezzar & The Babylon Connection00:23:40 - The Anunnaki, Osiris, Jesus & The Transmittable Garment00:28:51 - Ancient Genetic Alteration & The Awakening of the Neocortex00:32:42 - Rethinking AI, Transhumanism & Scientific Materialism00:46:10 - The Fall from Eden & Technology as a Tool for Ascension00:55:49 - Sacred Geometry, Crop Circles & The Shroud of Turin00:59:53 - The Lineage of Ascension & Avatars01:05:39 - Sound Frequency, Megaliths & Suppressed Ancient Tech01:14:12 - The Next 50 Years: Singularity, Awakening & The Soul01:27:11 - The Viral Story: Saddam Hussein's Secret Iraqi Stargate01:34:42 - Outro & Final ThoughtsCheck out William Henry's bookshttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B006FYUDHUConnect with William Henrywe'd love to hear from you
2432-26 - The pinnacle moment that shook the nation! In the midst of reforms, the last Torah scroll is discovered, and the words written therein change everything. The Bearded Bible Brothers travel from atop the Temple Mount, to the depths of the Western Wall tunnels revealing Josiah's ultimate decision of humility that moves God's heart.
Rabbi Yochanan explains that a "medium-sized cubit" consists of six handbreadths. This terminology implies the existence of a larger cubit. A Mishna in Middot (1:3) is brought to explain that there were two measuring sticks kept in a room at the entrance to the Temple Mount (where a depiction of Shushan the capital was displayed). Both were larger than the medium cubit used by Moshe for the Tabernacle: one was a fingerbreadth longer, and the other was two fingerbreadths longer. The purpose of this was to prevent craftsmen from accidentally misusing consecrated property (Me'ilah). Since they received payment based on exact measurements, if they had erred and made an item slightly too small, they would have personally benefited from the Temple treasury. The shorter one was used for gold and silver, and the longer one for other materials. The verses in Vayikra (24:5-6) describe exactly how many loaves of showbread there were, how many arrangements were on the Table, and how many loaves were in each arrangement. Why were all those descriptions necessary? In what directions did the Ark, Menorah, and Table face in the room, and in which part of the room were they placed?
