I received the following article near the end of the month. I though I would
pass it on to see what everyone else thinks of it.

PRACTICING FOR THE "THIRD TEMPLE" from (Mark Ensign via Middle East
Dispatch 6/22/97) Yehuda Etzion, who was convicted of being connected
to a plan to bomb the Temple Mount mosques in 1985, is organizing
"training" in sacrificial slaughter towards the construction of the
Third Temple. Etzion and members of his group slaughtered a lamb this
week, sectioned it, and burned it in the presence of hundreds of
onlookers in the Carmi Tzur settlement located in the Hebron hills.
The three hour-long ceremony was filmed by a television crew from the
CTV, an independent Canadian network, as part of an item on the spread
of messianic tendencies in Israel. In an interview with CTV reporter
in Israel, Dinah Louis, Etzion stated "The mosque is the wrong
structure in the wrong place." Etzion claimed further that "there is a
mass movement gathering momentum of Jews who are returning to the
Temple Mount - in order to be there, to pray there, and also - as we
believe - in order to offer sacrifices to the God of Israel." The
sacrifice this week was the second in Etzion's "training" series. The
first sacrifice took place on Passover eve in the Jerusalem
neighborhood of Abu Tor. (Middle East Dispatch 6/22/97)
