Numbers 10:2 Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out.
Amihai Ariel is the father of Hallel, the 13 year old girl who was stabbed and murdered by a terrorist while she was sleeping in her bedroom. On July 15, 2016 Mr. Ariel was followed by 50 family members and close friends to the Temple Mount.
Keep in mind, Jordan is responsible for security on the Temple Mount. It is illegal for Jews to ascend the Mount and engage in “religious” activity, pray, or talk to God.
Amihai Ariel is a priest. At the foot of the Temple Mount, Amihai Ariel blew a silver trumpet that is to be used in the Third Temple. The trumpet blast was a signal to alert the people of Israel. A priest is calling. Come to the Temple.
A shofar (ram’s horn) was also blown. This shofar blast indicates a Temple worship service is about to begin. A shofar is used in the Temple service.
Translation, I am going to the top of the Temple Mount and I am going to perform a priestly, Temple service.
After this, the party ascended to the top of the Temple Mount. Mr. Ariel went to a specific place on the Temple Mount where priests are to give a blessing to the people of Israel. The outcome was a priest blessed the Jewish people on the Temple Mount. The blessing was from Numbers 6:23-27. The highlights from the verses are listed below.
May the LORD bless you and guard you. May the LORD make His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you. May the LORD lift up His face unto you and give you peace.
This was completed in the presence of the Muslim Waqf security. This is the kind of stuff that can lead to a war. No arrests were made. There was no violence.
“After my daughter is murdered, what more can they do to me? Ban me from the Temple Mount? Arrest me? What more can I possibly lose by blessing Israel? A Jewish man goes up to God’s mountain. I was trying to connect to God. So what are they going to do to me for doing such a thing?”
“But when I look around and see the condition the world is in, I come to the conclusion that the world needs a place for God, his Temple in Jerusalem. We need to start doing the work of building and so many people, for the wrong reasons, are stopping that from happening.” -Amihai Ariel
