Israeli politician compares Trump to king Cyrus

I follow on the internet some Israeli's media and especially the Orthodox Jewish-hosted Breaking Israel News Media. Breaking Israel News published on 29.1.2020 article: ' Trump's Peace Deal is Akin to Decree of King Cyrus Paving Path For Third Temple ' says Israeli Politician. Israeli politician, doctor, professor of physics Rafael Minnes is a former member of the Political Zehut party and is now involved in the new Liberal Party project. Mines have served in the IDF Intelligence Corps and the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service. He is a professor of physics as well. Minnes said that Trump's Peace Plan was like an echo of the Persian king of Cyrus to pave the way for Jews to build the second temple almost 2000 years ago.

Rafael Minnes said that Peace Plan was like the declaration by Cyrus of our days. Minnes wrote this on his Facebook page and he looked for the similarities between Trump and Cyrus. As we study the Biblical revelation, we find that there is no such kind of connection between Trump and Cyrus, that Trump would act as a modern-day Cyrus, who should decree the building of a third temple, because the order of the Old Covenant temple worship was cancelled in Messiah Jesus ' blood. In the New Covenant era, the disciples of the Lord Jesus are the temple of God, where God lives, and God no longer returns to the order of the Old Covenant.

Rafael Minnes said that Trump's Peace Plan and king Cyrus proclamation are similar, because both are non-Jewish political figures, who are coming in the name of God of Israel, in order to advance the divine plan incumbent upon the Jewish nation.

Persian king Cyrus was a man that God raised to launch the second temple building project. Trump is the president of the United States, but God has not sent Trump to launch the third temple building project, because the temple of God in the New Covenant has already been erected in the disciples of the Lord Jesus. God does not set two different temple order at the same time, one of which has been erected on the basis of the Lord Jesus ' blood and in His sin offering, and the Old Covenant is established on the foundation of the animal offerings through which the Jews strive to please God. The Lord Jesus said that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can come to the Father God, but by Jesus. It is absolutely certain that God does not command, and does not place any man in this present time to build up a temple for Him, because He, Himself, has built the New Covenant temple in Jesus ' disciples, by the blood and the atonement of Jesus the Messiah.

Rafael Minnes said that Trump actually opposes a Palestinian State and his purpose of the deal was to strengthen Israeli sovereignty and stop the rebel idea of a Palestinian state.

Trump himself has said he would consider the two-state solution as the best solution, so he does not oppose the Palestinian state, but as a "friend" of Israel, he sought to create a two-state solution that would be more favorable to Israel and would not jeopardize Israel's Public safety. A true friend of Israel and a man sent by God would not give the Palestinians even one centimeter of the land of Israel, because God has given the land of Israel only to the Jews. God of the Bible says, that He will judge everyone who has been dividing (or accepts) the land of Israel to the Gentiles. From the Biblical perspective, Trump is not an Israeli friend, but an enemy of God and an enemy of Israel.

Not even one deed for Israel, what Trump has done, and he has done them, does not rise to God's favor because Trump suggests dividing the land of Israel, the land of God between Israelis and Palestinians. In God's eyes, this one deed, dividing God given land is the worst rebellion against God. Think about this now accurately from God's perspective. God gives the land to the Israelites, and it belongs specifically and alone only to the Jews and to the Jewish govern and control, every centimeter and meter from the land belong to the Jews. Then comes a man who says that we are now dividing this land and giving its parts to the Gentiles (Palestinians). It is certain that such a man is not sent by God and does not enjoy the favor of God.

Rafael Minnes said that Trump opened the door to the Israelites that we can do what we need to do. Minnes said how declaration of Cyrus prepared the way for the second temple and the same can be said about the Trump's deal, our duty now depends on us.

Persian king Cyrus did not command the land of Israel to be divided to the Gentiles, but ordered that the temple should be built and the land belongs to the Jews. Trump works differently than Cyrus. Trump is ready to give the land of Israel to Palestinians, the land that belongs only to the Israelites. I understand that the Jews have a desire to build a third temple, but it is no longer the will of God, because the order of the Old Covenant has been cancelled in the blood of Jesus the Messiah. God is allowing that the third temple will be built, but it is not the will of God. The coming of the third temple will be constructed almost with certainty on the Temple Mount, when the time is ready for it.

God's Will is different than God is allowing something to happen. The prophecy of God's Word says that iniquity shall abound to the full power on the earth, which is not the will of God, but God allows it to happen. God does not set side by side the blood of the Lord Jesus and animal offering blood system. God does not place two temples with a two different foundation to be in the power at the same time. God is not the author of confusion, but God of peace and order.

Rafael Minnes wrote how Rabbi Josef Berger said: Like Cyrus, Trump's connection to the Messiah is that he will play a role in one of the major functions of the Messiah. Berger said that Trump is preparing the way for building the third temple. Like Cyrus, Trump also paves the way for men who will begin the construction, when the time is right.

If Trump would have a role in building of the third temple, even in that case he would act against the will of God. The letter to the Hebrews chapter ten says that sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law. This means that God doesn't please in the era of the New Covenant animal offerings and man made temples, in which men are offering animals in order to please God. The Same Bible chapter says, referring to Jesus: I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first (old covenant), that He may establish the second (New Covenant). The letter to the Hebrews chapter seven says that Jesus made the better covenant. The letter to the Hebrews chapter eight says that Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

In the old and New Covenant there must be the temple, a place where God lives. God's covenant and temple always belong together, for even the New Earth and the New Jerusalem is the temple and the Bible says that this temple is God and the Lamb (Jesus). It is clear that because the New covenant is a better Covenant and the Lord Jesus removed the order of the Old Covenant and set a new and better Covenant in His blood, in which the temple is Jesus' disciples, where God lives, so God does not command to build now in this time the temple and make animal offerings to whom He did not pleased. He who believes that God is commanding to build the third temple within the time of the New Covenant and that God would call it the temple of God has not understood the better Covenant, the New Covenant in the blood of the Lord Jesus.

In the minds of some Christians is such kind of false teaching that the third temple of Jerusalem is at first the temple of the antichrist, but Jesus, in His coming, purifies the temple and put it into use in the millennium era. The Lord Jesus' sin offering and His atonement was an eternal sin offering, which also included all other offerings such as burnt offering, etc. This means that the Lord Jesus will not place again animal offerings in the millennium era, because in His blood the animal offerings were forever cancelled, for the sake of His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary came into power the eternal offering, which does not need to be repeated ever again, nor the animal offerings that are examples of Jesus' offering.

The Temple of the millennium is the Lord Jesus, He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem, because it comes out from the heart and the mouth of the Messiah Jesus. God is no longer returning to the old order, but He Himself in the Lord Jesus is the Temple of God, because the perfect glory of God lives and is in Jesus the Messiah.

It is really important to understand who is and where is the temple of God in the New Covenant era and what is not the temple of God in the New Covenant era. Likewise, it is really important to understand that God does not set two different temple order at the same time, so that two different temples and two different God's covenant should be put together at the same time. God is the God of the order, and God has one Covenant and ots order in the power at a time.
