Subject: The role of the new 71 member Sanhedrin

Message: Shalom! Could you please tell me exactly what role will the new 71 member Sanhedrin have in these final end-time days. Twice in the OT the command was given to re-build the Temple ... the third time the Messiah said in three days He would "raise" the Temple again (speaking of His body) ... so where does the new Sanhedrin fit? They are planning on re-building a Temple ...

Thank you ... I praise Elohim for [your] show ... Peace and Blessings abound from our Father and [His] Messiah ...

Hi Marilyn,

Thank you for your correspondence.

It is unclear at this time what the role [if any] the newly formed Sanhedrin will have. They are not actively supportive of "The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement," which is the most active organization in Israel in the challenge [to Israeli's] for the building of the third temple. We would probably agree that Israel would be better off right now if the Sanhedrin replaced the Knesset, but it would take an act of God for that to come to be, and there really is nothing in the scripture to say that would have to happen ...

Blessings from the Tzemach Institute for Biblical Studies,
