According to the interpretations of Torah, Judaism believes that God commanded the Jewish people to build Solomon's Temple on Mount Sinai following the day of the Kippur. This command is one of 613 Mitzvot which the Israelis constantly are committed to do it. According to the interpretations of Moses ben, God has commanded the Jewish folk to build a place for worshipping him and they need to donate their prey in this place and 3 times a year they come and feast and pilgrimage.
This temple includes different objects such as golden candle stick, table, altar, and etc. all these objects are considered as the natural and main parts of the temple.
A detailed map of the temple and of objects and materials in the Middot epistle is described in the Talmud. According to the teachings of Moses ibn Maimon, order of construction of the temple is an eternal command and from generation to generation it must be done and the objects and its attachments are the constant part of the temple and must be returned to it
Messiah and the Temple of Solomon
Jews believe that the Messiah is not still emerged, and Jesus Christ who Christians believe in is the false prophet and the real Messiah will appear after the construction of the Third Temple of Solomon .in fact the construction of the Temple of Solomon from the premises of his appearance.
According to the teachings of the Talmud, the Messiah is of David's royal family and the nation of pagans (Christians, Muslims, etc.) will be destroyed by him and the children of Israel will achieve global power. Jews believe, as the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) refused pagans’ repentance, because they believed in to have the blessings of the reign of Solomon, after the advent of the Messiah, non-Jews’ repentance would not be accepted.
According to this belief, after the advent of the Messiah and the establishment of the World Jewish state, Jerusalem surprisingly is reconstructed and will rise from the current level to a height of 10 miles above, and it will be open from all sides. And it will expand to the gates of Damascus. Renovation of the temple will be in his glory, and the sacred vessels and the tabernacle will be returned.
Among the objects that have already been in the Temple of Solomon, is the Ark of the Covenant that Jews are seeking for it. There are different theories about the current location of the ark.
Some believe that the ark along with other objects of the Second Temple was stolen by the Romans after the destruction of the Temple, and they are transferred to the Vatican and now it is with the Pope John Paul II's besides the other temple’s dishes.
The alternative view is that the Prophet Solomon (as) who was informed of the incident with the help of divine revelation, has ordered to build hidden complicated tunnels under the building and the Ark has been hidden in one of these tunnels.
A third view is that Joshua, the king of Israel who lived forty years before the destruction of the temple, ordered to hide the Ark.
Although the Ark of the Covenant is not from the Temple of Solomon’s supplies, the Jews are waiting for the day which it would be found.
The Red hair calf
For years, the Israeli government is preparing for the construction of the Third Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem and all temple’s premises are provided by Jewish rabbis. But as it has been mentioned in the book "Numbers" in the nineteenth episode that before the start of construction of the temple, ritual purification must be done and to do this a red hair heifer must be killed as a victim.
According to Jewish teachings, the calf must be red hair and have no imperfections and has never copulated and does not have given birth to a calve.
The calf must be 3 years old when it is the victim. the calf must be sacrificed out of camp of rabbis in the temple’ camp on the day of the ceremony. Then the amount of its blood is removed and sprayed in front of the tabernacle.
Then the calf is thrown into the fire with the skin, meat, leather, dung and blood all in cedar and hyssop wood and the fire is on till the calf turns to ash. Burning the calf must be next to the Mount of Olives. After burning the calf, a pure person should collect ashes and take them over the Mount of Olives.
Then, the great mass of remaining ash is mixed with water and purified water is prepared in this way.
Since 2000 years ago (70 AD) that the Solomon's Temple was razed by Titus the Roman Empire to the present day, Jews had have no access to the place of Temple. Judaism believes that non-Jews have gone and walked in the place (temple’s grounds), and according to some traditions the old Jerusalem must be cleansed with purified water before the start of construction of the temple.
That is why the Jews and Zionists in order to prepare the building of the Temple of Solomon are looking for a way to grow calves which are red hair in the last fifty years. But still another problem remains, and it is the place of sacrifice and burning the calve near the Mount of Olives which is fully under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
That's why the Israeli government has begun great efforts in recent months to evacuate the area of non-Jewish residents.
According to Jewish beliefs because non-Jews have been living in this area it should be cleansed before the victim ceremony!
Fanatical rabbis believe that even one or two black or white hair on calf body prevents its selection to perform the ceremony. However, others believe that the calf should be born in Israel.
In recent decades the Jews, have tried to breed red hair cows using genetics throughout the world and many reports have been published in this regard from Sweden, Switzerland, Texas, Mississippi and Israel.
But during these years these efforts have been useless and unsuccessful to breed a fully red hair calf until 1997 that this calf was produced in Mississippi.
Two and a half years ago, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, which is responsible for accomplishment of building project of the Temple of Solomon, was informed that finally the calf is born in Israel.
Friday, April fifth 2002, Rabbi Chaim Richman Rabbi Menachem Mac Over visited the farm of rearing calves from the Temple Institute, and after several examinations, they confirmed the properties of the calf.
Now this calf is been kept with specific measures and a few months later it will be 3 years old. According to Jewish belief, the birth of a red hair calf and rebuild of the Temple of Solomon indicates the age in which the Messiah is near. Based on this belief, the Messiah will appear after the temple was built and he would base the foundations of his rule in Jerusalem, and Jews from all over the world would come to Israel and they will create the world Jewish rule.
Richard Landes, a history professor at Boston University and director of the Center for Millennial Studies, says:
“birth of the calf is exactly just something that people had been waiting for it; we can look to the apocalypse war. If fanatical Jewish Orthodox rabbis confirm the details of this calf, all the Jews of Israel will evaluate it as a good omen and a sign of the beginning of a new era.
However, if this calf becomes sacrificed, Muslims are ready for jihad, then it is better to think of the war.
To be sure, emerge of the calf, is the trigger for the explosion of Masjid Al Aqsa. This is what the Israeli intelligence forces are sensitive about. Although conflicts with the Arabs have made their minds busy.
Zionist radical groups can fulfill this mission and it is possible that some Jewish extremists in the Israeli army help them.
More than half a century, the project of exploration of remains of the Temple of Solomon in the lower floor of the Masjid Al-Aqsa is going on and multiple tunnels have been dug under the mosque so that by the next first earthquake that occur in Jerusalem , Masjid Al-Aqsa will fully collapse . if Masjid Al-Aqsa collapses, whole Islamic history will be forgotten in the region. Similarly it is the exact Israeli government's general policy. In 1968, a Jew burned down Masjid Al-Aqsa, but he was dismissed by calling him mad.
Also on 28 July 1981, the Western Wall fire station in Jerusalem was ordered to take two fire trucks to the western wall of Jerusalem. Yehuda Meir Getz, rabbi of the Western Wall, who had ordered to take two units of fire truck there, when realized that firefighters are Arabs, for preventing the disclosure of the plan which was excavation under the foundation of the mosque to find objects and remains of the temple, immediately returned two units of fire truck.
They had decided to weaken and collapse the mosque by pumping hundreds of cubic meters of water into the large built tunnel.
Getz on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Religious Affairs was commissioned to bury secret tunnels under the mosque.
Getz could prevent the disclosure of the plot for a few weeks, but as rabbis off Western Wall had measured, a part of the tunnel suddenly collapsed and when muddy rabbis were moving out of the tunnel, Muslims were aware of their plans and dozens of Muslims gathered in front of the tunnel’s entrance.
The news was widely reported in the media and Menachem Begin (Israeli Prime Minister) and Yosef Berg, police chief, ordered closing the tunnel entrance.
Now the extremist Jewish groups, who are called the temple of Solomon’s guardians and believe that Masjid Al-Aqsa was built on ruins of the Temple of Solomon, have attempted to destroy the mosque many times.
On the other hand the Christian Zionists in the United States believe that destruction of Masjid Al-Aqsa and building the Third Temple of Solomon instead of this mosque, the is the hallmark of Jesus’ emerge(AS) and without building the third temple of Solomon, Jesus never emerges.
This trend and particularly dependent Extremist Zionist groups believe that the first and second ruins of the Temples of Solomon are under the Masjid Al-Aqsa and there is no choice for rebuilding the temple unless destroying Masjid Al-Aqsa.
According to this belief, followers of this story, set up significant sums of money in the hands of the extremist Zionist organizations such as "Ateret Kohanim" which has the purpose of destruction of Masjid Al-Aqsa and make Jerusalem Jewish.
Last month, Israel's president, Moshe Soda Katzav asked the Prime Minister of the Vatican, Cardinal Angelo Svdanv, noticing that the construction of the temple will start soon, to represent the list of treasures of the temple which are at the Vatican, during Israel's president meeting of the Vatican.
The Vatican has been asked by Israel's president to cooperate with Israel at this important issue.
The importance of this question is about pure gold candlestick of the temple which is now, along with other temple’s things which were sacked in 70 AD and now the objects are in the Vatican.
After the destruction of the Second Temple of Solomon and the fall of the king of Israel, the Roman emperor, Titus, thanks to this victory built a triumphal Arch in Rome that the image of gold candlesticks and other objects of temple of Solomon were carved on it.
According to intelligence sources, the Mossad, the object is now in the hands of the Pope.
In recent years, the Jews have asked the Vatican to give bach these things to them, but the pope has not agreed with it.
But now it is the first time that the Israeli government has submitted a diplomatic request of returning the objects of the temple from Vatican.
Israeli sources have said that the Pope's opposition to the restoration of these objects does not affect the construction of the temple; and the temple will be built soon after the destruction of Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Jewish World Government will be achieved soon.
