Nearly fifteen years ago, we made the declaration to friends that "Israel should rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount." The reaction was one of doubt and "that would upset the world" remarks. We still believe that is the right thing to do.
Three years ago when we visited Israel, we had a dramatic dream two nights in a row involving the reconstruction of the Temple. It was so realistic that made us believe that the time is at hand.
Whether it is time or not, the world's reaction would be very negative as it would involve tearing down the al-Aqsa Mosque that now exists on the Temple Mount. One can only imagine the indignation! However, the world hardly notices when Coptic churches are burned in Egypt or Jewish historical sites are destroyed in Arab countries or the destruction of greenhouses and synagogues that occurred in Gaza after Israel unilaterally withdrew.
Regardless of the public condemnation, it is time for the Temple to be rebuilt.

Israeli minister: We should rebuild Jerusalem Temple
Sunday, July 07, 2013 | Israel Today Staff
An Israeli cabinet minister last week publicly stated that perhaps the time has come to rebuild the biblical Temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Most Israelis has no aspirations of rebuilding the Temple. Even among those who would like to see the Temple restored, most do not believe Israel can undertake something so controversial absent a direct act of God.
But that didn't stop Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) from stating that "we need to build a real Temple on the Temple Mount."
Ariel was speaking at a press event in the Samarian community of Shilo, where archaeologists have uncovered remains of the biblical Tabernacle that was located there for hundreds of years before King David's conquest of Jerusalem.
