  Nezzer Ha-kodesh (School for priests) had students starting sacrificing animals this year in Israel. Led by Rabbi Yisrael Ariel and chief slaughterer Rabbi Yehudah Giatt students are being taught how to slaughter lambs for Passover and doves. Hundreds of Jewish men with be certified as Priests. 13 Priests are seen as the minimum required for the Passover Service.

  There has been an open out-pouring of rage by the Palestinians in the past few weeks as Muslims have been barred from entering the Al Aqsa Temple, Islam's side of the Holy Mount. There are fears of a takeover by Jewish Third Temple advocates and supporters within the Israeli government.

  The Third Temple and resuming sacrifices by approved Priests are seen by certain Jewish sects as a precursor to the Jewish Messiah coming.

  Some Kohen rely on a genetic test, others by verbal and written lineage.

  The political implications are becoming more clear if these groups of ultra-Orthodox Jews keep gaining power using Netanyahu. A complete takeover of the al Aqsa Temple would bring on a pretty devasting war in the region.

  There is no country in the area of Isreal that could successfully challenge the Jewish state. Every single of them would end up defeated. Turkey and Iran are not looking for confrontation with the world and the West either.

  but a re-configuration of the temple mound, the dome of the rock would focus all of islam on that one place, only medina would be near in importance?
