TPJ Update 8/22/2011

This will allow the archeology to be done, The Ark of The Covenant to be found (3/9/05) and The Creator's House to be built (circa 1998) according to The Prophetic Tradition. However, even though the people who live and own land and businesses in Jerusalem can be fairly compensated so that the entire city of Jerusalem can be legally held in trust for all the people of all the nations, and even though these current residents and owners can also be given certain benefits regarding the administration and operation of The New City, the message of The Jerusalem Project will not be accepted in Jerusalem (3/20/05).

I KINGS 9:1-7 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD...that the LORD appeared...and said to him: "I have heard your prayer and your supplication...; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. Now if you walk before me...in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you...I will establish...your kingdom...forever,...but if you or your sons at all turn from Following Me and do not keep My Commandments...this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight."

MICAH 4:1-3 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,...He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths."
For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their shears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.

ZECHARIAH 7:1-8 Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah,..."Say to all the people...Shouldn't you have obeyed the words which the LORD proclaimed through the former prophets...to execute true justice, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother; to not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor? Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother."
But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets... Thus great wrath came from the LORD of hosts. "Since I Instructed them but they would not hear, so also when they called out, I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts. So I scattered them with a whirlwind...
But...I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor I am zealous for her. I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the LORD of hosts, the Holy Mountain.

Coming events may include both geologic and man-made catastrophes, to include the unleashing of nuclear and biological weapons. Geologically, the Earth's crust and the oceans on it are vulnerable to both internal and external threats. Internally, the Earth may be overdue for a pole shift of some magnitude, to include a possible pole reversal. There is already evidence (the South Atlantic anomaly) that the Earth's magnetic field is beginning to destabilize.

External threats include blasts of energy from our Sun and even from deep space. Another major concern is getting hit by something big. The 'Dawn' spacecraft is now in the asteroid belt studying Vesta, which is about 325 miles in diameter (about the size of Arizona). Later it will go to Ceres, which has a diameter of about 575 miles. It has been calculated that if something 6 miles in diameter slammed into the Pacific Ocean, it would create an initial standing wave over 7 miles high. This wave would hit California at over 3 miles high, cross the Rockies and be about 2 miles deep as it washed across the Midwest.

If something big is headed our way, we currently do not have the technology to avoid it. It may be that our only hope will be intervention from The Creator. It may be that this intervention depends upon whether or not we obey The Creator's Instructions. It may be that if we are well on our way to obeying the Instruction to build The Creator's House, we may be saved. It may be that if we do not listen and do not obey, the Earth may be annihilated, as suggested by a Torah code message.

When Sky was Told in the early '90s (much to his surprise) that he no longer need keep secret the equation relating energy, mass, time and distance and that it was now righteous to reveal it, he had All Is One published as a small book. Three copies each were given to the Physics and Philosophy Departments at the University of Hawaii. There was absolutely no interest. Physics people said the book was philosophy and philosophy people said the book was physics. Down through the years, absolutely no human being has ever shown the slightest interest.

On the other hand, the non-human life-form Sky has called 'SOURCE2' was extremely interested, practically grilling Sky as to his understanding of the position when they first met in the early '80s. When it became clear that Sky did not understand the implications of the position, SOURCE2 became very friendly and invited Sky to make contact frequently, offering to answer whatever questions Sky might have. However, because dealing with an intelligence far greater than his own was unsettling to him, and because not even knowing what questions to ask was embarrassing, Sky contacted SOURCE2 only infrequently.

Also, Sky was confused by SOURCE2's reaction to Sky's Experiences. At a time when Sky considered himself to be agnostic (regarding The Prophetic Tradition as the mythology of his particular culture), and decades before Sky was Told they were from The Creator, SOURCE2 said they were from God. Not only that, SOURCE2 would talk about God the same way one would talk about a refrigerator, that is, with a tone and body language that indicated that there was no doubt whatsoever of The Lord's existence.

At one point early in their relationship, Sky asked SOURCE2 if the All Is One position was correct. SOURCE2 reluctantly indicated that it was correct, but in such a way that it was clear to Sky that his book was an extremely primitive and incomplete exposition of the position.

Years later, SOURCE2 told Sky, "If the humans understood this, they'd just make a weapon out of it." This all took place years before the equation was derived, and Sky had no idea what was meant. Even after the publication of his book, it was many years later that Sky finally realized that the equation showed that just as mass could be converted into energy, so also could distance. And whereas the conversion of mass into energy is linear, the conversion of distance into energy is exponential.

Should time confirm the accuracy of the All Is One position, the history of the reaction to Sky's book suggests that the current level of human understanding is still one of profound ignorance. It may be that we humans are still so incredibly backward that we cannot recognize the truth even when it is staring us in the face.

Archeological evidence of Solomon's Temple has recently been found. A project headed by prominent archeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar and conducted under the auspices of Hebrew University has revealed a section of a 10th century BCE city wall in ancient Jerusalem in the area known as the Ophel, between the southern wall of the Temple Mount and the City of David.

According to Mazar, ''A comparison of this latest finding with city walls and gates from the period of the First Temple, as well as pottery found at the site, enable us to postulate with a great degree of assurance that the wall is that which was built by King Solomon in Jerusalem in the latter part of the 10th century BCE.''

''This is the first time that a structure from that time has been found that may correlate with written descriptions of Solomon's building in Jerusalem,'' she added. ''The Bible tells us that Solomon built -- with the assistance of the Phoenicians, who were outstanding builders -- the temple and his new palace and surrounded them with a city, most probably connected to the more ancient wall of the City of David.'' Mazar cited 1 Kings 3:1, which says Solomon ''made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.''

Largely because of Kamal's charm and connections (his picture is in the Photo Gallery), Sky was told unofficially that the Syrian government had no objection to The Jerusalem Project, if the Israelis and Palestinians supported it.

Here in Honolulu, the very first worship service sponsored by The Interfaith Alliance Hawaii was held on 6/26/11 at the Cathedral of St. Andrew. It was titled "Faith Shared -- Celebrating the Unity of Abrahamic Faiths". The following is from the Saturday, 6/25/11 Honolulu newspaper article announcing the service:

As part of a national initiative to combat anti-Muslim bigotry, representatives of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths will give readings from their sacred texts and offer prayers under the same roof during a special service tomorrow.

Cecilia Fordman, Episcopal coordinator of the event ... said followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam should be reminded that they actually have a lot in common, as all are "Abrahamic" religions that trace their origins to the Jewish patriarch Abraham. Readings from (T)he Torah, (The Holy) Bible and (The Holy) Qur'an will be accompanied by music of each religion. People of all faiths, or those with no faith at all, are invited to come, Fordham said.
...
Speakers include Ismail El-Sheikh, Imam of the Muslim Association of Hawaii; Lorraine Gershun of Temple Emmanu-El Honolulu (on behalf of Rabbi Peter Schaktman, who will be out of town); Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick, head of the Episcopal Diocese; and John Heidel, president of the Interfaith Alliance Hawaii.

Welcome to Saint Andrew's Cathedral. In the Abrahamic religions, even more than in other religious traditions, a book of sacred scriptures is of central importance. Jews, Christians, and Muslims, known as "people of the book," believe that the content of their respective scriptures was revealed by God and provides instruction on how to live in a manner pleasing to God. The scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provide profound encouragement for their adherents to live in love, by law, with prayer and in the practice of charity. Our gathering this evening celebrates this common bond.

Religious intolerance often results when people believe their God is the one, true God. The All Believers Network is encouraging people of faith to look for common threads in all religions for the sake of world harmony.
The All Believers Network, also known as Belnet, is hosting a symposium ... (9/10/11) to explore "whether all religions revere the same reality," said project director Saleem Ahmed. ...
"The bottom line of this entire exercise is to help bring peace and harmony to our troubled world," said Ahmed, who hopes the symposium will establish Hawaii, known for its diversity and tolerance, as "the world's interfaith harmony capital." ...
A panel discussion ... will be held ... including Gregg Kinkley of the Sof Ma'arav Jewish congregation, Maryknoll Sister Joan Chatfield, professor Dharm P.S. Bhawuk of the University of Hawaii and Ahmed, author of Islam: A Religion of Peace?
Other speakers include UH professor Ramdas Lamb, Buddhist Rev. Irene Matsumoto and James Frankel, a UH religion instructor.
