Trend Update: Sanhedrin Elects High Priest for Temple Service, August 2016
Leviticus 21:6-8 They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the Lord’s food offerings, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. They shall not marry a prostitute or a woman who has been defiled, neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband, for the priest is holy to his God. You shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I, the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
The most important duty of the high priest is to conduct the service on the Day of Atonement. Yom Kippur is the tenth day, the seventh month (Tishri) of the year.
The High Priest entered the Most Holy Place behind the veil to stand before God. He made a sacrifice for himself. He made a sacrifice for the people. He brought the blood into the Holy of Holies and sprinkled it on the mercy seat…Think Jesus…

The Sanhedrin has elected Rabbi Baruch Kahane as the Kohan Gadol. This would be the high priest. The selection was made as a precaution for the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. If the Jews would be allowed access to the Temple Mount, it is a requirement of the Mosaic Law to bring forth sacrifices as they currently see it. If allowed, Temple Service could begin in less than one week.
“The only obstacle preventing the Temple service today is the political issue. If that should suddenly change, as it very well could, we would be required to begin the Temple service immediately. It is therefore necessary that we have a candidate prepared to fill the role of the High Priest, especially now that we have kohanim (priests) prepared to serve in the Temple.” -Rabbi Hillel Weiss
“The structures can be temporary and prepared almost overnight. The biggest obstacle is educating the kohanim (priests), which we are taking care of already. Once the priests are thoroughly educated, choosing a Kohan Gadol (high priest) and teaching him what he needs to know for the Yom Kippur service is relatively simple and will take one week. The Temple Service performed by the Kohan Gadol is very demanding, but for an educated kohan (priest), it is not overly difficult to learn to serve as the Kohan Gadol.” –Elected High Priest, Rabbi Baruch Kahane
Now granted, Jesus Christ is our High Priest. Animal sacrifices are no longer necessary.
Psalm 110:4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 6:20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:6 as he says also in another place, “You (Jesus Christ) are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
By the way, there are at least 20 Bible verses indicating Jesus Christ is the High Priest.
