Benny Hinn Promotes The Rebuilding Of The Temple In Jerusalem

The November 18, 2003 telecast of Benny Hinn's This Is Your Day TV program included a Rabbi Chaim Richman, Founder of "Light to the Nations" (an organization which seeks to build a bridge between Jews and Christians).

Rabbi Richman is also associated with the Temple Institute of Jerusalem, which is "dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem" (full text at
www.templeinstitute.org/about.html ).

While the Temple Institute's short-term goal is to "rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind," its long-term goal is to "do as much as possible to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time" (ibid.).
The Temple Institute also provides research, publications, educational materials and conferences to promote its efforts.
Rabbi Richman is not a Messianic Jew, yet Hinn recognized him as a "brother" and allowed the Rabbi to share updates on the Temple. Hinn also allowed the promotion of the 2004 Jerusalem Temple Calendar to aid in the funding of the Temple.
Of course, Hinn has made the Calendar available to Christians--through his ministry--for $35.00.
A quick Google Search on "Rabbi Chaim Richman" netted the following:
"The reason why Jews like myself do not accept Jesus as the messiah is a very basic one - we do not see that he fulfilled any of the requirements for the job. If he never qualified, it is not even a question of rejection. G-d outlined these requirements in the Bible. The identity of the messiah is not up to you or me; it is up to his performance to prove" (Rabbi Chaim Richman, "A Jewish View of the Messiah."
