Temple Mount Faithful: The Presence & Blessings of G-d

From Gershon Salomon, chairman of the Temple Mount Faithful:


The Presence and the Blessings of G-d Followed the Faithful Movement on her Pilgrimage and Carrying the “Omer” Offering at the Feast of Pesach to the Temple Mount at the Very Critical End-Time Redemption of Israel. The Campaign for the Rebuilding of the Temple was in the midst of this Exciting Event

The Significance of the Feast of Pesach to the Redemption, the Rebuilding of the Temple and the Return of the Shekinah to the Temple at this G-dly Time


The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement again renewed one of the most important commandments of the G–d of Israel to His people Israel and made the Pesach festival pilgrimage to the Temple Mount and carried with them the “Omer” offering to the G–d of Israel. The trumpets were again heard on the holy mountain of G-d exactly as our forefathers did in the biblical times when the Temple existed and the G–d of Israel dwelt in the midst of His people and land on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It was an exciting opening for the same event that will be done as we feel in the near future when the Temple is rebuilt. It was another major stage in the campaign of the Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the Temple and renewing all the commandments and traditions that are connected to the worship in the Temple.

It was also both an educational event and a message to the people of Israel that they should not wait more but as we are now living in the godly end-times of redemption they should fulfill the end-time expectations of G–d from them and especially the most important of them to rebuild the house of G–d so that He can again dwell in the midst of His people Israel as He requested them to do so in His Word: “And let them make me a Temple; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). It was also a message to all the world that G–d expects from them as well to stand behind Israel in her critical campaign and struggle at this end-times to rebuild the kingdom of G–d in the holy land that He gave them in an eternal covenant.

It was also a message to all the nations that they should strengthen and encourage Israel and to stand with the Faithful Movement to build the Third Temple of G–d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem so that He will dwell among all of them in His end-time Temple and bless all the world from Jerusalem with love and peace exactly as He promised: “The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:1-5).

The pilgrimage of the Faithful Movement on the Pesach festival of this year was made at a very critical time in the history of Israel when Israel is surrounded by so many enemies who want to destroy what G–d is doing with Israel at this time of redemption for the favor of all the world as an opening of a godly time of peace for all the nations. We felt that our pilgrimage this year would have a special significance. We knew that the pilgrimage to the hill of G–d will not only protect the land of Israel from her enemies but it would even make them not desire the land which G–d gave only to Israel for a purpose exactly as He promised in His Word: “Thrice in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders; nor shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear before the Lord your God thrice in the year” (Exodus 34: 23 & 24).

This exciting godly event started on Friday 16th Nissan 5766 (April 14, 2006) when we cut the “Omer” (sheaf) of the Firstfruits of the harvest from the fields of Israel. It was so special and holy to again do what our forefathers did in the land of Israel. We could feel and see in our imagination our forefathers walking from all the corners of the land of Israel, families, fathers, mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers, boys and girls carrying the “Omer” on their way to Jerusalem to pilgrimage the house of G–d on the Temple Mount. This was our feeling when we cut the harvest and when we were on our way with it to Jerusalem. It was so exciting to see with our own eyes how end-time prophesy and promises of G–d to His people Israel become a reality in our lifetime. It is such a privilege to live at such a great time and to be a part of it.

In the early 20th century when the Jewish Zionist pioneers returned to the land of Israel from the exile they immediately built “kibbutzim” and villages and immediately started to work the ground of the holy land, to plant trees, herbs and vegetables and to again eat from the blessings of G–d (a land of honey and milk). They were also excited to plant and cut the harvest and to bring it as an offering to the G–d of Israel as their forefathers did but they could not bring it to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem which was controlled by foreigners so they brought it symbolically to the settlements that they built with a hope to bring it one day soon to the right place on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and to fulfill the commandment of G–d to them as it appears in His Word to Moses: “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them, When you come to the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest; And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you; on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the Lord. And the meal offering of it shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet savor; and the drink offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. And you shall eat nor bread, nor parched grain, nor green ears, until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings” (Leviticus 23: 9-14).

On the forth day of the Pesach festival 18th Nissan 5766 (April 16, 2006) at 9:30 a.m. the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement marched to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, carrying with them the “Omer” harvest to the Temple Mount. After 1936 years since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem G–d of Israel again saw His children, the children of Israel, marching to His holy mountain carrying with them the “Omer” to bring it to Him as an offering. We felt that we marched on the same way where all the biblical figures, King David, the prophets, the other kings of Israel and millions of Israelis marched and it moved our hearts. We felt that we were making, thanks to G–d, by our own hands exciting end-time history. We also brought with us a big model of the Temple and presented it before the thousands of Israelis who came for the Pesach pilgrimage and the priestly blessing which was prayed by hundreds of priests in front of the Western Wall. The priests used to bless the people of Israel in the Temple with the priestly blessing that G–d commanded them to bless the people of Israel each day in the morning and at the festivals. Gershon Salomon, the Chairman of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement called in his word the Israeli government to make the priestly blessing on the Temple Mount as it was in the Temple and to move during all the year the prayers from the Western Wall, that represents exile and destruction and its time is over, to the Temple Mount the right place where G–d called His people Israel to worship Him there. We also carried with us samples of earth from all the areas of Israel and spread it on the holy ground of the Temple Mount to symbolize the uniformity of all the areas of the land of Israel, including those areas which are still under foreign Islamic occupation like Gaza and Transjordan, around the Temple Mount and the G–d of Israel. We trust completely the promises of the G–d of Israel to Abraham and his seed Israel that His covenant with them with regards to the land that He gave them will come to pass: “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18).

The Pesach festival is one of the most important and exciting festivals that G–d commanded Israel to celebrate. This festival is concentrated around the G–d of Israel. It is not an accident that He requested Israel to come and to visit Him on His holy mountain to His Temple where He dwells among His people Israel, to be seen by Him and to see Him as He put it. It's not an accident that it is called “pilgrimage”. He wanted His people to walk and to march on their legs all the way on the ground of the land on their way to Jerusalem and to feel the holy touch of the holy land. It was a march step after step from one level to a higher level until they came to the top of His holy mountain and to the climax of this exciting event where they met Him so close to heaven. G-d taught us that the Temple Mount is the gate to heaven and on the Temple Mount heaven and ground touch each other and the gate to heaven is open from where the G–d of Israel, and His Shekinah is coming to the holy of holies to be so close to His people and among them. This gate was open as long as the Temple existed. When the Temple was destroyed this gate was closed, waiting to be opened again when the Third Temple, the end-time Temple, will be built and G–d will again reflect His Word, His Spirit, His morals and His laws to His people Israel and to all the world and the nations because this house of G–d will be a house of prayer and worship for all peoples: “Also the strangers, who join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one who keeps the sabbath and does not profane it, and all who hold fast to my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56: 6&7).

The Pesach festival also symbolizes the deep linkage between G–d and His people Israel and being the children of Israel “the first born son of G–d” as He called them when he sent Moses to pharaoh: “And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus said the Lord, Israel is my son, my firstborn” (Exodus: 4:22). It also symbolized the great miracles that G–d made in Egypt and in the wilderness for His people Israel and the godly major event when He saved them from slavery to freedom, divided the sea for them, judged the evil Egyptians with the ten plagues and in front of the Sinai Mountain He renewed with Israel His eternal covenant, made them one nation under His kingdom, gave them the Torah (His Word, morals and laws) and brought them to the promised land. This was a godly major revolutionary event which never happened in the history of mankind when G–d appeared in an exciting moment before His people Israel and they could hear the voice of G-d speaking to them from the Sinai Mountain with a great love (G–d continued to speak to His people, to the prophets and the kings of Israel along the history). It is so special that every generation of Israel was called by G–d to see itself like he was in this exciting godly occasion at Sinai.

On Monday the 17th of April the evil terrorists of the “Islamic Jihad” and the “Fatah” that represent the so called “Palestinians” made another terror attack in Tel Aviv and murdered nine Israelis and 50 or more were wounded. It was a painful attack when a suicide terrorist murdered innocent civilian Israelis. He came to murder them only because they are Jews and he did this in the name of their “god”. Which “god” is this who is sending his believers to murder innocent children, men and women and families in his name? This could only be the devil himself.

However, this painful terror attack could not break the spirit of the Israeli people. We feel so strong with the G–d of Israel and we know that it is end-time birth pains of redemption and that we should face and stop the devil and his messengers who are trying to stop and destroy what G–d is doing with His people Israel at this special time as an opening for the redemption of all the world. We are completely committed and strong with G–d to challenge this battle against this evil. G–d taught us that this major godly event of the redemption of His people Israel is irreversible and that behind the door and the pains is soon to appear the completion of the redemption of the people and the land of Israel and all the world, the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Maschiach ben David that the G–d of Israel is soon to send to His people and to all the world.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is determined to continue her godly historical campaign. We know that everything that G–d sends us to fulfill is soon to come. We felt His presence in the exciting pilgrimage of Pesach and I can say that every Israeli felt the presence of G–d in his spirit, especially at this festival of Pesach. We felt in the air that major and critical events are soon to come. While the leader of Iran, the new Hitler and the Arab Islamic nations with their allies prepare themselves to destroy and to remove Israel from the map of the world we could feel our great G–d of Israel telling to us as in the biblical times: “Do not fear, I am with you and I will fight with you and judge and defeat all your enemies”. “On that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;... And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem... Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; on that day the Lord shall be one, and his name one... and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall dwell secure” (Zechariah 12:8 & 9; 14:3,9 & 11).

In his word, in front of the Temple Mount at the Pesach pilgrimage Gershon Salomon called on the people of Israel and its government to trust the G–d of Israel and not to fear all the many enemies who now gather themselves against Israel. He told them that together with G–d they will be the majority and all the enemies the minority. He called His people to continue to build the kingdom of G–d in the holy land that He gave them and to immediately start the purification of the Temple Mount from the enemies and the rebuilding of the Temple of G–d so that He can as He desires so much to dwell again among His people and all the world on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. He swore at this holy place faithfulness to the G–d of Israel, His holy Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land of Israel and that the Temple Mount Faithful Movement will continue with complete dedication and even more intensively her godly campaign that is soon to become fulfilled and completed. He thanked in the name of the G–d and the people of Israel and the Faithful Movement the many dear and wonderful friends of Israel and the Faithful Movement all over the world that stand with the Faithful Movement in such an exciting devotion, faithfulness and dedication and help the Movement to do her holy work.
