Episode 168 - The Temple Mount and Future Worship (featuring Rabbi Yehuda Glick)
Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.
In this conversation recorded at the NRB Conference in Nashville, we sit down with Rabbi Yehuda Glick, one of the most recognizable voices connected to the Temple Mount movement in Israel today. A former member of the Israeli Knesset and longtime advocate for Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount, Rabbi Glick shares why he believes Zion was always meant to become a house of prayer for all nations.
Drawing from Scripture, Jewish tradition, and his own life experience, he explains why the Temple Mount is not merely political or historical for many Jewish people, but deeply connected to redemption, worship, and the future of the world.
Rabbi Glick also recounts surviving an assassination attempt after being shot four times because of his activism surrounding the Temple Mount, and why he believes courage, clarity, and biblical conviction are needed in this moment.
As followers of Yeshua, we engage this conversation through the lens of the whole story of Scripture. While there are places where our understanding differs, this episode offers an important window into how many observant Jewish people think about Jerusalem, covenant, kingdom, and the promises of God.
This conversation explores the Temple Mount, the future Kingdom, the restoration of Israel, and why Jerusalem still matters in the unfolding biblical story.
