Temple Institute complete Golden sensorsRabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute has announced the completion of the manufacture of two golden censers (see video here), which are to be used by the priests in the service of the soon to be rebuilt Jewish Temple. The Temple Institute has tasked itself with preparing for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, and has reconstructed many of the instruments that will be used it its administration. When I was in Jerusalem I was privileged to see the Golden Menorah, which now stands on the steps facing the Western Wall. The Golden Menorah was once carried off by the Roman
armies following the destruction of the Temple in 70AD. The Roman authorities erected a facade in honour of the conquest of Israel, which depicts Jewish slaves carrying the Menorah through the streets of Rome along with other instruments belonging to the Temple. It is significant that after Israel's restoration, the Menorah is back, albeit not yet in a rebuilt Temple. The Temple Institute have also manufactured many of the other objects that will used in the administration of the Temple, such as the Keter for the Laver, the priestly garments, the golden crown and the blue ephod for the High Priest. They are also working with the
Sanhedrin on blueprints for the construction of the Third Temple

When 70 elders are appointed to assist Moses in his role as leader, a major drama unfolds in the Israelite camp: "And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the 70 elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the Tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid [lit. "imprison"] them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the Lord's people were
prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!" (Numbers 11:25-29).
