    Jews living in Israel tend to become more cooperative with Christians and will Jews living in the USA become somewhat divided from Israeli Jews?


    Ezekiel 47: 1 .... "Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
    Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
    And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
    Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
    ..... 8 ... Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh."


    Whatever all is meant by all of this both literally as well as metaphorically the fulfillment of these predictions would alter the economy as well as the ecology of Israel and the surrounding nations. Considering that the world is facing a possible Bear Market.... another 1929...... the idea of beginning a rescue operation from another Great Depression in Israel seems like an option worthy of serious consideration and discussion.

    Can Israel pull the entire world economy out of a possible Bear Market, another 1929?

    the 'Temple' would be a mistake, just like the previous two were; the real 'Temple' would be in a tent, as per David's times.

    "Christianity is Judaism completed."- Disraeli.

    It is the Christian sects of Judaism who will determine Israel's fate, not the post-exilic Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox cults; the latter never truly represented Judaism or most Jews, and in fact alienated the majority of Jews by the Christian era via absurd 'racial purity' laws that would have done Hitler proud.

    I read and re-read and re-read your fascinating comment....... I am curious........ can you see why I have been wondering if the construction of an Ezekiel chapter forty to forty eight temple complex could correspond with the utopian future of 2185 that was shown to near death experiencer and former Atheist Howard Storm?

    ....
    What former Atheist Howard Storm was shown about the world that God wanted to give humanity by the year 2185 reminds me of so many scriptures in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the minor prophets that the correlations are kind of astonishing to say the least.

    I'm not really a fan of Ezekiel or any of the post-exilic writings, Dennis, so I'll pass on commenting on individual's dream interpretations, other than to point out the 2nd Temple wasn't modeled on Ezekiel's descriptions. The Babylonian cults are also not impressive, though their Talmud is better written; I'm not impressed with the Pharisees and rabbinical Judaism; they're much more concerned with legalistic rubbish than with theology. Other books I don't personally consider genuine 'cannon' are Job and the Aramaic parts of Daniel, though I get why Job is included, and the same with Hebrews and why it's included even though it has no certain provenance. I'm more of a Rechabite and Nazarite sect of Jews fan, and old school Judaism up to the point it became monotheistic, i.e. Isaiah being the 'best', along with Hosea and couple of others. I'll give it a read, but from what I can recall I think he was just a crazy old man living alone. The rabbi Jesus put an end to Temple vanities and forecast it would be reduced to rubble and never will one stone be set on another.
