Anointing Oil of Frankincense & Myrrh 

Peppermint Essential Oil Uses

The Temple Institute built a sacrificial altar at  Mitzpe Yericho (east of Jerusalem) on Tisha B’av (the 9th day of the Jewish month  Av). This is a  day of  fasting  on which  the Jewish people  mourn the destruction of the original Temple built by King Solomon (by the Babylonians), and the later destruction of the Second Temple which was rebuilt by the returning exiles and later refurbished by King Herod (which was razed by the Romans). Aurtz Sheva, Israel National News originally reported:

"The sacrificial altar was located in the center of the Temple, and upon it the Kohanim (priests) offered the numerous voluntary and obligatory sacrifices commanded in the Bible. The Temple Institute, which has already built many of the vessels for the Holy Temple, such as the ark and the menorah, has now embarked on a project to build the altar.  “Unfortunately, we cannot currently build the altar in its proper place, on the Temple Mount,” Temple Institute director Yehudah Glick said. “We are building an altar of the minimum possible size so that we will be able to transport it to the Temple when it is rebuilt.”… 

Even a minimum size altar will work out to be approximately 2 meters tall, 3 meters long, and 3 meters wide. Workers have collected around 10 cubic meters of rocks weighing several tons already. The rocks were gathered from the Dead Sea area and wrapped individually to assure they remain whole and are not touched by metal, as the Bible requires."

The original report can be read here and more photos can be found here.  If you want to see what else The Temple Institute is up to , you can visit them here.  Seems preparations for the Third Temple are well underway… For more background information, click here.

Check out this one-of-a-kind model of the Temple (see here). This is just awesome and you have to see it for yourself!

The world’s largest model of the Holy Temple was inaugurated Wednesday only a few hundred meters away from the Temple Mount, the site where the Temple existed up until 70 CE.

The model, built at a scale of 1:60 was built by Michael Osanis for the Aish HaTorah Yeshiva in Jerusalem's old city, and is displayed on the roof ot its new museum, which at seven stories above the Western Wall plaza has a breathtaking view of hte Temple Mount.

Matthew 2:11 - And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Frankincense is referenced 23 times in Scripture, beginning with Exodus 30:34 and ending with Revelation 18:13. The Hebrew word for Frankincense is 'lebonâh' and literally means milk-white. The Egyptian term s-ntr is translated as 'that which makes god known'. Now isn't that interesting....even the Egyptians knew that Frankincense was special!

Here are a few facts:

Boswellia carterii Birdw
Hebrew: lebonâh and ketôreth
Septuagint: libanos and thumiama
Vulgate: thus and incensum
Middle Ages: olibanum

Frankincense has long been used for intercession, anointing of kings and priests and to represent divinity and purity.

"Remember, your old life is dead and your new life in Messiah is as  a fresh anointing!
