Oktar and the Jewish Sanhedrin
Last month, a historic meeting took place between members of the Jewish Sanhedrin (the ruling judicial body of the Jewish Faith) and a well-known Turkish Muslim Leader, Adnan Oktar, who uses the psuedonym, Harun Yahya. One of their stated goals was to "wag[e] a joint intellectual and spiritual battle against the worldwide growing tide of irreligiousness, unbelief and immorality," according to a World Net Daily report. But even more interesting than this unprecedented coalition was their mutual desire to rebuild the Jewish Temple. They believe that a rebuilt temple can help bring the three Abrahamic faiths (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) together in peace. Furthermore, Oktar claims that this temple could be rebuilt within one year!
In a statement posted on their website, Sanhedrin.org, the members of the Sanhedrin, along with Adnan Oktar, set forth in further detail their expectations and objectives of their plan for peaceful co-existence. In an eye-catching statment in a section entitled, "Plan for Peace" the Sanhedrin state,
Out of a sense of collective responsibility for world peace and for all humanity we have found it timely to call to the World and exclaim that there is a way out for all peoples. It is etched in a call to all humanity: We are all the sons of one father, the descendants of Adam, and all humanity is but a single family. Peace among Nations will be achieved through building the House of G-d, where all peoples will serve as foreseen by King Solomon in his prayers at the dedication of the First Holy Temple. Come let us love and respect one another, and love and honor and hold our heavenly Father in awe. Let us establish a house of prayer in His name in order to worship and serve Him together, for the sake of His great compassion. He surely does not want the blood of His creations spilled, but prefers love and peace among all mankind. We pray to the Almighty Creator, that you harken to our Call. Together - each according to his or her ability - we shall work towards the building of the House of Prayer for All Nations on the Temple Mount in peace and mutual understanding." (emphasis added).
In Mr. Oktar's section of the declaration, he talks a lot about the need for peace among the Jews and Muslims and asserts that the Turkish Islamic Union can help bring about that peace. He states that "the establishment of this union under Turkish leadership is essential for the salvation of the Middle East and the whole world...If such a union is established, then by Allah’s leave Muslims, Jews and Christians will all be at ease. Conflict and fighting will come to a complete end. Once the Turkish-Islamic Union is founded, Jews will be able to live freely in those lands without the need for walls." (emphasis added)
Oktar's last couple of statements seem eerily similar to the passage found in Ezekiel 38, where the LORD is speaking to Gog [modern day Russia] and the nations in alliance with it, one of which happens to be the nation of Turkey.
In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety...You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars." (emphasis added)

Second Jewish Temple
It is interesting to note that the Sanhedrin and Oktar believe the Temple will be a way to bring peace, not only the Middle East region, but also to the world. According to the Bible, their plan to rebuild the Temple and bring peace to the region will be successful. Several passages in the Bible (2Thessalonians 2:4, Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 11:1) imply that the temple will be functioning during the end times and will be the place where the Anti-Christ sets himself up to be worshipped as God, but not before he brings a psuedo-peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3) to the Middle East region. It appears that Adnan Oktar and the Jewish Sanhedrin are on their way to fulfilling Bible prophecy!

The first Muslim to have called for a third Jewish temple on the Temple Mount was me, and I did so in my article "Muslims welcoming Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount" (in buzzle on 12-28-2005) before 3.5 years. The article started as follows:
Peace will not be achieved politically in Israel, because the political debate has taken religious dimensions throughout the Middle East and the Islamic World. The best way to obtain ultimate peace is to let religious leaders discuss and negotiate. If there has to be a Palestinian state in Gaza and parts of the West Bank, the Muslims have to accept the erection of the Third Jewish Temple on Temple Mount.
In that article, I called for
The Ultimate Solution: a Palestinian State for a Jewish Temple.
I stated:
Islam would not be diminished or desecrated in anything, if Jews were allowed to have their Temple built without damaging the Dome of the Rock and the El Aqsa Mosque.
Thank you Dr. Megalommatis for this information. I read the article. It is amazing how these types of issues fly under the radar in the mainstream news media, since I haven't heard of this idea until recently. I look forward to seeing if this idea of a Palestinian state in exchange for a Rebuilt Temple will be taken up and implemented. According to the Bible, the Temple will be rebuilt and this idea is a good way to make that happen.
In spite of the fact that some give the idea of the rebuilding a 3rd temple a Biblical bases, when actually those vss refer to a different era past time, the idea is a great decoy of the enemy. Tragically, Christians, with the exception of one particular group, the only one, have failed to understand the theological symbolism of the 3-part-services activity that took place at the temple, referring to the 3 distinct ministries of Christ. While all understand that the court yard sacrifice met its fulfillment in the death of Christ, and the daily ministry in the temple was fulfilled after Christ's ascenssion to heaven when He began His work as a mediator in the true tabernacle(Heb.1:1-3), none seem to be aware that in their theology the most important holiday in the Bible and temple services, Yom Kippur finds no fulfillment in the ministry of Christ. Strange!... Yet, in the Bible both dates, His death and the cleansing of the sanctuary (atonement)are clearly given in Dan.8:14; 9:25-27).

THE END F
hi cornell,
Actually if u read the entire chapter of Matthew 24; Dan-7-12; and II thes-2, it does talk about how the antichrist will sit on the ark of the covenant in the third temple and will declare that he is God and for all to worship him. thus there must be a third temple for the antichrist to desecrate it and for abomilation of desolation to be fulfilles as talked about in these scriptures as well. there are others as well but if u read these scriptures and pray the Holy Spirit to teach u truth He will. after all He is the spirit of truth and teaches all whom he dwells.
your brother in Messiah,
David
