The US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report was released to Congress and the public two weeks ago. The report points out that all non-Muslims are denied opportunities to worship at the Temple Mount, because of security concerns. On the heels of a US State Department report criticizing Israel for not allowing non-Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount, MK Arye Eldad (National Union) has drafted a bill mandating separate hours for Jews and Muslims to pray at the holy site. "The Temple Mount is the holiest place for the Jewish People, where the First and Second Temple stood," Eldad explained. "It is also a holy place for Muslims, and is the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It also has a special status in Christianity." As such, the National Union MK seeks to anchor in legislation freedom of worship at the Temple Mount for all three religions.
Dr. Max Singer, the founder and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, believes that if Jewish ties are restored to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, there will be peace in the Middle East. Bible prophecy reveals that Dr. Singer is correct in the final outcome in the end of time scenario written by ancient Jewish prophets 2500 years ago. The prophet Samuel wrote in II Samuel 7 that one of King David's descendants would rule the world from a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, that descendant will be Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah. Isaiah wrote that when the Temple, the house of the Lord, will be established in Jerusalem, nations would turn their military weapons into farming equipment and they would learn of war no more, thus peace in the world, Isaiah 2:1-4. As the quest for peace in the Middle East continues, all must agree with the Bible, Jewish ties to the Temple Mount will indeed bring about peace.
The conditions to remedy this condition is not available at the current time.
Q: Would this Bill force the P.A and wider Muslim community to accept the Jewish community and them frequenting the Temple Mount for prayers?
Q: How will the possible passing and implementation of this Bill change the minds of those whom do not even recognise Israel and her citizens as a legitimate country/entity?
Q: Does the restoration of Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount have any basis in biblical prophecy?
Q: Will this Bill to share one of the holiest and most hotly contested sites on the planet, between the 3 major religions, result in peace & closer ties between Muslims and non-Muslims and regional stability OR will it only further inflame the already tense situation?

According to Jewish Law Jews are forbidden from entering the Temple Mount in a state of ritual impurity. All people today are considered to be in this state of ritual impurity.

Well Jesus can't rule from the temple if the Jews don't believe he is the one they are waiting for can he?

That would actually be Mosaic Law, and since the council of Jamnia Judaism has been Talmudic not Mosaic.

I think now they believe the requirements for ritual purification are not the same as it would be if the Temple was there. They may not even know how to do the ritual purifications of Mosaic judaism anymore.
