Recently a group of 71 Jewish scholars reinstated the Sanhedrin, something that hadn't been done for more than 1,600 years. Now, this Sanhedrin has started searching for the next King of Israel. Of course this king must be a direct descendant of King David, and that's not going to be an easy thing to prove. But they have a contender in the lead, a rabbi named Yosef Dayan

."Dayan has the best lineage to King David," several members of the Sanhedrin told The Jerusalem Post. They say he has two documented ancient sources which draw a direct line between him and the males in his family to King David some 3,000 years ago.

Biblical scholars studying end-time prophesies will understand that the reinstatement of the Sanhedrin, and the finding of the red heifer required for purification of the temple priests, are both signs of the coming tribulations. But that's not all they're up to.

Some of the other ideas discussed at the Sanhedrin meeting included the construction of an altar on the Temple Mount to be used for the Passover Offering during the upcoming holiday. One of the ideas, members said, is to climb the Mount and build the altar within minutes and sacrifice the lamb before security forces can stop them.

Could this be the beginning of the rebuilding of the Temple? Time is surely passing quickly. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in worldly things, we forget how quickly eternity is approaching. Let's keep our hearts and minds on the things that really matter.
