The Old Testament prophet, Daniel, wrote about events that would take place in a Jewish Temple, in Jerusalem, during the future Great Tribulation.

Jesus quoted Daniel, letting us know that we are to take his prediction of the third Temple literally.

You’d therefore expect lots of news regarding rebuilding the Temple, and renewing its sacrifices.

On April 6th, timesofIsrael.com posted a story titled, In a first, sheep slaughtered in Jerusalem Old City in reenactment of Passover sacrifice.

Excerpts:

With priests blowing silver trumpets, a group of religious Jews slaughtered a sheep on Thursday in Jerusalem’s Old City to demonstrate the traditional paschal sacrifice, the first time such a reenactment has been held inside the city walls in 2,000 years.

In accordance with the ancient rites, the blood was sprinkled on a model altar temporarily erected for the purpose. The sheep was then flayed, roasted and eaten by the participants.

Cohens, members of the priestly class, wearing specially made white garments, blew silver trumpets and sang psalms as the ritual was taking place. They also recited the biblical priestly blessing.

The group said it will conduct an actual sacrifice on Monday, the day before the Passover holiday, in order to fulfill a religious commandment requiring Jews to make an animal sacrifice for the festival.

However, it is unlikely that police will allow them to do so.

For over a decade the group has held a reenactment of the ritual slaughter of the Passover offering, a sheep or goat sacrifice, outside the Old City.

Each year the activists request permission to do it on or near the Temple Mount, where ritual sacrifices were carried out at the time of the temple. And each year they have been refused by police and the courts, which say it could cause unrest if it is held on or near the Temple Mount, the most hotly contested site in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This activity started about fifteen years ago, and it’s getting bolder, and closer to the Temple Mount.

It is exactly what you would expect from reading your Bible.

While we look at the signs of the times, we’re not looking for any particular sign before the Lord can return.  Jesus promised He’d come in the clouds to resurrect the dead in Christ, and rapture living believers.
There are no prophecies needing to be fulfilled prior to the rapture.  It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.

Are you ready for the rapture?  If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.  Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
