In the Beginning…
The following is from Rabbi Mordechai Persoff, Educational Director of the Temple Institute. He is one of the top Rabbinical scholars in the world. This is a reflection of Jewish thought as we approach God’s Fall Appointments as noted in the Mosaic Law.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
EVERYTHING We See In The Universe Began Right Here At The Temple Mount In Jerusalem! Based On Our Jewish Understanding Of The Bible, The Creation Account All Started In Israel, On The Temple Mount, Early In The Autumn, On The 25th Day Of The Bible Month Of Ellul, To Be Exact. Yes, The Creation Of The Entire Universe All Started There! In Ancient Times This Holy Place Was Called Mount Moriah.
One Day Soon, The Third Jewish Temple Will Be Rebuilt, Right Here, On The Very Spot Where All The Universe Was Created! And This Glorious House Of God, In Jerusalem, Is Destined To Become A House Of Prayer For All Nations!
The Jewish People Were Taught By G-D That The Very Foundation Stone-Even Shtila – Of The Whole Magnificent Universe Is Located On Mount Moriah, In Jerusalem. So, This Is Where It All Started! Baruch HaShem! Blessed Be G-D’s Holy Name!
Later, At This Same Place, Here In Jerusalem, G-D Also Created Adam And Eve! After That He Placed Them In A Beautiful Garden Of Paradise. Which Is Another Whole Story. BUT, Suffice It To Say, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US Here On Earth, Every Jew And Every Gentile, All Of Us Came From OUR COMMON ANCESTORS, Which The Bible Calls Adam And Eve. We All Started Our Journey From The Foundation Stone!
Who Is This Wonderful Creator Of Us All? What Is His Name? According To The Bible, His Name Is Simply “HaShem” Or, When Spelled Out In Hebrew, Just 4 Holy Letters, Yod-Hay-Vov-Hay! This Wonderful Name Of The One Creator Of Us ALL, Is Found Throughout The Holy Bible. He Is Also Known As The Mighty G-D Of Israel!
Dear Friends, The ONLY REASON That Any Of Us Are Here Today On This Beautiful Earth Is Because HaShem Willed It, Hashem, Who Created Us All!
By G-D’s Help, The Plan Is To Have A Celebration Like This Every Year In Jerusalem From Now Until The Wonderful Time When The Glorious Third Jewish Temple Will Be Rebuilt!
Here Is What Israel’s Sanhedrin Decrees Now To All The People On Earth! It Is Time To WAKE UP In The Spiritual Sense. The Bible Prophecies Are All True And They Will All Soon Be All Coming To Pass! Just 70 Years Ago, The Dry Bones Of Ezekiel Chapter 37 Began To Come Alive Again! The Jewish People Miraculously Returned To Israel And Began Building Up Their Ancient Homeland. Israel Today Is Alive And Well, HALLELUJAH! But, The Best Days For The Jewish People And For All Who Will Choose To Love Israel And The Jewish People, Are Still Ahead!
Rosh Hashana, The Jewish New Year, Marks The Beginning Of The Fall Season Here In Israel, In The Holy Land. G-D Taught The Jewish People To Show Reverence And Thanksgiving To HaShem, Our King And Holy Creator, At That Time. This Beautiful Bible Holiday Is Always Celebrated 6 Days After “World Creation Day” On The Biblical Calendar. The Jewish Sages Taught Us That Rosh Hashana Is Also When HaShem Judges ALL Of His Creation! Not Just The Jewish People, But All Of Us!
