Over 50,000 Jews gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing

The Western Wall Plaza near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was filled with over 50,000 Jewish worshipers. They were there to receive the priestly blessing from 2,000 Kohanim, supposedly direct descendants of the first high priest of the Jewish people, Aaron, the brother of Moses.

Israeli security forces were discreet, but clearly present at this annual event, a part of the Feast of Tabernacles, a seven day celebration of the Jewish holy day.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The 50,000 Jewish worshipers that gathered at the Western Wall Plaza near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and who received the priestly blessing, are tangible evidence that the stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Every year, during the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, people gather in the Western Wall Plaza to receive the priestly blessing from the Kohanim, the family of men who qualify as those priests to serve in the next Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Two thousand of the 28,000 men preparing to serve in the next Temple were following the same procedure that was followed 3,000 years ago when King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The reality that there are Jewish men who claim to be priests and descendants of Aaron, the first Jewish high priest, is evidence that we are close to having a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 40-46 and Zechariah 6:12 reveal that Jesus will return to Jerusalem to build His Temple to the exact specification of Ezekiel's Kingdom Temple. Notice I said "Kingdom Temple" which is to yet in the future. Before the Messiah's Temple, there will be a Temple in Jerusalem that preceeds the Kingdom, Daniel 9:27, Matthew24;15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1.

All preparations for the Tribulation Temple have been made. Those priests that gave the priestly blessing in Jerusalem are ready to serve in this next Temple, but before that, the Rapture, when Christ call Christians to be with him in the heavenlies.
