We spent an afternoon in Old City Jerusalem, visiting the Temple Institute.  They have replicated the items that will be needed in the Third Temple to re-institute temple worship.  They have many beautiful large paintings on the wall depicting Israel’s history, the giving of the Torah, the tabernacle, the first temple period, the second temple period, and what it might look like for the building of the third temple…even with the help of the light rail and cranes!

The priests garments and the High Priest garments, along with the breastplate and turban are on display on mannequins in glass cases.  The alter, the laver, the incense table, the showbread table…it’s all there and ready to go when God’s timing is right.  It really is interesting.  As all museums are, there is a headset audio tour in English.  Sorry, no pictures or videos allowed.  visit their website for more information:  www.temple institute.org

But, walk with us through the winding streets and sidewalks and enjoy the flavor of the Old City as we strolled around.
