The Third Temple & Sacrifice
God's temple has been rebuilt; His current temple is no longer a physical building on the earth:
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
John 2:19-22
The Scripture:
“My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever; and David My servant will be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.” ’ ”
Ezekiel 37:24-28
Thus says the Lord, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord. “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.
Isaiah 66:1-2
Other verses on the topic:
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud And like the dew which goes away early. Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth. For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:4-6
“I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:21-24
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no one else besides Him; and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one would venture to ask Him any more questions.
Mark 12:29-34
Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:44, 46-47
For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
Psalms 51:16-17
... “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. “But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck; He who offers a grain offering is like one who offers swine’s blood; He who burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations,...Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites,” says the Lord. ...And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the Lord.
Isaiah 66:2-3, 20-21, 23
The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” Jesus *said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:19-24

Happy Sunday y'all Shabbat Shalom ?✡️?
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

Unfortunately, this project has gotten too big for me right now. I am looking to sell it. It is easier to post a link than to post pictures and text separately, not to mention, trying to find where I got the pictures from. Have a wonderful week.

Wedding vows
For far too long the 10 commandments have been taught as a list of rules to live by—what a sad and incomplete picture. These are the wedding vows that The Bridegroom speaks over the bride that she might profess them back to her Bridegroom in sincerity of heart and love. When viewing them as wedding vows, the whole tone changes...
1. I promise to commit all of my love and devotion to You alone, I will not bring another god into our union.
2. I will love and adore You as the Master Creator and I
will not bow down to worship Your created beings.
3. I will value Your Name as holy and powerful.
4. I will keep Shabbat set apart to spend with You.
5. I will honor the parents You chose for me-You do not make mistakes, by honoring them I honor You.
6. I will not murder anyone, for they are created in Your image.
7. I will not commit adultery to break a covenant vow I have formed with You.
8. I will not take anything that you have given to another.
9. I will not swear falsely against another who is created in Your image.
10. I will not set my desire upon anything else but You.
By viewing these commands as wedding vows, it elevates YaHUsHa as your Most Beloved and Cherished One, and makes your neighbor as important as yourself. This is not a list to simply obey, this is a lifestyle of expression of love to our Creator and to our fellow man.

ONE PEOPLE
THE ALTAR CALLED WITNESS
From Joshua 22
One day Joshua brought the soldiers of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh before him. Here is what he told them. ‘You have done all that Moses, Adonai’s servant, commanded you. You have also obeyed all the orders that I have given you. You have fought for your fellow Israelites for a long time and you have been careful to do what Adonai asks of you. Now there is peace, for our conquest has been successful, as Adonai promised it would be. You may go back to the land assigned to you east of the Jordan River, the land which Moses, Adonai’s servant, gave you. Continue to obey Adonai and to follow the Commandments Moses gave you, to love Adonai your YHVH and to walk in all His ways, to keep His Commandments, to go with Him always and to serve Him with all your heart and soul.’ After Joshua blessed them, he sent them away to their tents. When Moses had assigned the land to Manasseh, he had given Bashan to half of the tribe; Joshua later gave land west of the Jordan River to the other half of the tribe. When Joshua sent them away with his blessing, he said, ‘you are going home with much wealth; cattle, silver, gold, bronze, iron, beautiful clothing. Share your wealth, which you took from your enemies, with your relatives at home.’ The soldiers of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh left the people of Israel at Shiloh and journeyed toward their home in Gilead, the land which Adonai had given them through Moses. When they reached the Jordan River country, they built a large altar by the river. When the news of this large altar reached the other people of Israel, they were very angry, for they thought this was a sign of rebellion. They gathered at Shiloh and made plans to go to war against these tribes. Before going out to fight, they sent a group of ten tribal chieftains, one from each tribe, along with Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest, to talk to the people of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh. ‘Why are you turning away from Adonai?’ they demanded. ‘The people of Israel want to know! Why have you built an altar to show your rebellion against Adonai? Wasn’t the sin at Peor a lesson? We still are not completely cleansed from that sin, even though a plague came upon us. If you turn away from Adonai, don’t you realize that He will punish all of us? If the land where you live is unclean, then come back with us to Shiloh and possess land there. But don’t rebel by building a second altar when there is already the one true altar at the tabernacle at Shiloh. Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah show you how that when one-man sins, the whole congregation of Israel is punished?’ The people of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh answered the men who had come to see them. Here is what they said. ‘Adonai knows and we want Israel to know, that what we did was not rebellion. If it was, then let us die today! Let Adonai send vengeance if we built this altar as a place for offerings. No, we built this altar because we were afraid that someday your children might tell our children that they have no right to worship Adonai because we live on the other side of the Jordan River. Your children might force our children to stop worshiping Adonai. We thought we should build an altar to be a witness between us and between our children, that we also may worship Adonai. If it should ever happen that your children should say such things, then we or our children can point to the altar as a witness between us. We certainly do not want to rebel against Adonai or turn away from Him by building an altar for sacrifice in addition to the altar at the tabernacle in Shiloh.’ When Phinehas and the others heard this, they were very pleased. ‘Now we know that Adonai is in our midst,’ said Phinehas, ‘for you have not turned against Adonai. You have spared our people from sinning by going against you.’ Phinehas and the others went home to tell the people of Israel what they had learned. The Israelites were so happy to hear this report that they praised YHVH and stopped their plans to make war and destroy the land of Reuben and Gad. The people of Reuben and Gad called the altar ‘Witness,’ for they said ‘it stands as a witness between our people that Adonai is YHVH of all of us.’
COMMENTARY
MANY ALTARS, MANY YHVHS
The men from the tribes that had settled on the east side of the Jordan River faithfully fought with their brothers in the battle for Canaan. When they returned to their homes, they built a great altar near Gililoth. The altar was not for sacrifice, but was to prove to future generations that the people on the two sides of the river were one people who worshiped one god. The Israelite leaders had good reason to be frightened when they discovered the ways of their Canaanite neighbours. They were afraid that their people would adopt the religion of their Canaanite neighbours who had many altars and worshiped many gods. At prayer times, the smoke of incense drifted from the roofs and hilltops, where Canaanites set their altars. The worshipers chose high places, believing that the incense vapours carried their prayers to the gods. Often these altars were simple rectangular blocks of stone with a depression in the top to hold the incense. Far more elaborate were the incense stands of pottery or bronze. Lions, bulls and twisting snakes on these stands constantly reminded the worshiper of the life-giving strength and fertility of the gods. One common type of stand looked like a many-storied house or shrine. Windows in the sides allowed the heavy smoke to escape. After living in Canaan for many years, some Israelites began practicing Canaanite rituals. In their idol worship they even used altars that looked like the one in the tabernacle. This violated YHVH’s Commandment that His people should worship no idols.
