Mormon Temples and the reins***ution of animal sacrifices

[Libby]

Very interesting, Billy.

So, it has to be done exactly as it was done in O.T. times? Wow.

But the task is almost beyond reach. Everything needs to be learned from scratch. The weaving techniques and the special six-cord threads required by the biblical text, the production of the correct blue, purple and scarlet dyes - all of these are lost arts.

The size of the veil itself, a single rag-like object measuring 20 meters high, 10 meters wide and 10 centimeters thick, is a project of immense complexity in and of itself. The making of the veil is therefore going to be a long learning process of trial and error.

One of the more unique challenges is to weave the faces of the cherubim so that it is an eagle face on one side of the veil and a bull's face on the other side. Another is the aforementioned production of the exotic colors needed for the veil. The scarlet is ***umed to be made out of an oak aphid; the blue out of a special sea snail. The purple was also produced from animals, though no one knows for certain what animal.

While the project is beset by seemingly insurmountable obstacles already in its infancy, the women believe they will be able to produce a veil that will p*** the scrutiny of the rabbis.

So, if they do complete this Temple, at some point...do they intend to do animal sacrifices?

Paul does prophesy that the Man of Lawlessness will sit in the Temple of God proclaiming himself to be God; here is an article giving the different views:

https://www.christiancourier.com/art...s-man-of-sin-a

Here are the verses: "The Man of Lawlessness

2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,[a] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness[b] is revealed, the son of destruction,[c] 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thess. 2

If the "temple of God," is a literal temple yet to be rebuilt, it would appear that Satan is attempting to impose his rule in this temple through this "man of lawlessness." If, on the other hand, the "temple" is the Body of Christ, as Paul insists elsewhere, it would appear that the Church body has been infiltrated on some level by unbelievers following Satan. Jesus did ask if the Son of Man would find faith on the earth at His return. I suppose that this can be interpreted to support the rapture, or if one is post-trib, it could refer to the great falling away just prior to the Lord's Second Advent (which would be, for me, the logical meaning).

Yes they intend to resume animal sacrifices because they don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah--at least yet. From their perspective they are still under the Law.

So, that act (animal sacrifice) is what they are talking about, when they speak of the redemption of their people, I ***ume?

Pretty terrible is you ask me! Jesus' sacrifice was the END of all animal sacrifices - why shed the blood of innocent animals?

Yes, I totally agree.
