Amos Chapter 9
11 “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old.
 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, 
 and all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
 Says the Lord who does this thing.

Because of this people are saying that the temple must be and will be rebuilt so that sacrifices may resume for Israel once again. Some Jewish people say that their Messiah will rebuild it, and this Messiah will be human, and not a God. But some Christians say Israel will rebuild it, not to replace the sacrifice of Jesus but to bring Israel back to God. When we hear things like this it can be quite confusing to those who are new as Christians. So let us look at what is going on here.

Not long ago I was browsing through a forum, and I came across a question that was addressed to anyone who could answer it.  “Why did the Jews reject Christ and still reject Him today considering that he was one of their own, a Jew also?” The person who answered this question answered it with four points and finished it with a conclusion.

1 He must rule Israel as King

2 He must usher in an era of peace

3 He must rebuild the temple

4 And most importantly, he must not die until all this is done.

Conclusion:-  Since Jesus didn’t do those things; He cannot have been the Messiah.

After I read this I felt God wanted me to pursue Him on this matter, so I spent quite a bit of time praying about this so I could find out what God’s thoughts are on this matter. After quite a few weeks, lots of prayer and reading and research I would like to try and answer the first and fourth point; “He must rule Israel as King “and “And most importantly He must not die until all this is done”

To all who are listening, Jew or Gentile are you ready to repent? The Sign of Jonah is a powerful message of hope to all Nations
