On 04/08/09, Jeff Snyder quoted Steve Asher: Choudary calls for Sharia
"Law" in UK.

I don't know how much of my work you have read, but I tend to agree with you
there. I too am more than aware of the Orthodox Jewish expectation of Moshiach
ben David, and I also agree that, in my understanding, only one who is of the
line of David will be crowned Moshiach, and will be able to sit in the Third
Temple. Of course, you and I both know where it goes from there. :)

SA> They are quite serious - there is some discussion about who will build the
SA> Temple (Moshiach?), or whether it is already built, in Heaven, and ready to
SA> descend at the time of "G-d's" choosing. Since the
previous temples were
SA> built by man, it is reasonable to expect that the next one will be built by
SA> men, and prophetically to be occupied by the Antichrist (false Messiah).


Yes, I am aware of this debate as well. I again agree with your reasoning, and
do not believe that the Third Temple should be interpreted in a purely
spiritual context. I am quite convinced that the next one, if there will be
a next one -- the treaty will make that possible, I believe -- it will
likewise be physical in nature, just as the man who will sit in it will also
be very much physical.

SA> My interest goes back about 30 years, when as a non-Christian, I became
SA> interested in the identity of Antichrist, and who he might be. The most
SA> likely candidate is the one the Jews are expecting as
"Moshiach", since
SA> they (generally) rejected the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, who came in his
SA> father's name, and still await a future "messiah", who may
appear at any


It seems as if we have been on the same track in some regards. My interest in
eschatological events began in the late sixties, and I have been interested in
such things ever since.

I do have more things to say to you, but I am wondering if perhaps we should
switch this conversation to the EDGE_ONLINE echo, being as that is what I
originally designed it for, and these topics fit right in. I simply feel
somewhat limited regarding what I can say and do in this echo, being as it is
not really specifically designed for overtly religious discussions. I'd like
to respect the sensitivities of others who may visit this echo, and not
intentionally push their buttons, or step on their toes.

We have so much more to discuss, it seems, so let me know if you care to hop
on over there.

Thanks!
