Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Knowledge and understanding can be obtained through man’s innate powers or via Divine Inspiration. Elokim ordained that man should naturally be able to teach himself, understand and reason with his intellect, and thus gain knowledge from his observation of things and their properties. G-d alone is responsible for the contents of a prophetic vision. Prophecy can be given at many levels, in different degrees.
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 217–219.
The Temple Institute is dedicated to bringing about spiritual revolution and preparing for the building of the Holy Temple of Jerusalem, in our time.
On the second night of Chanuka, 5768 (December 6, 2007), the golden menora prepared by the Temple Institute and fit for use in the Holy Temple, was moved from the archaeological site of the Roman Cardo in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, to its new location, alongside the Yehudah Halevi staircase leading from the Jewish Quarter to the Western Wall Plaza. There it overlooks the Temple Mount, site of the future Holy Temple. A small move, perhaps, for the golden menora, but a giant leap forward for mankind, as the rebuilding of the House of G-d becomes one step closer.
In light of recent developments and the rapidly deteriorating situation on the Temple Mount, the New Jewish Congress, whose inaugural conference took place in Jerusalem on the same day of the Annapolis summit, has decided to directly approach the government of Ehud Olmert, and demand freedom for Jews to assemble in prayer on the Temple Mount, site of the Holy Temple, where Jews are, in fact, commanded to be seen by G-d.
