The Nascent Sanhedrin is calling on Russian President Vladmir Putin and US president-elect Donald Trump to join forces and fulfill their Biblically-mandated roles by rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, contacted Breaking Israel News to announce that the election of Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, coupled with Putin’s expressed desire for the Temple to be rebuilt, prompted the Jewish court to send a letter offering the two the opportunity to act as modern-day Cyrus figures: non-Jewish kings who recognize the importance of Israel and the Temple.
Cyrus the Great, King of Persia in the sixth century BCE, announced in the first year of his reign that he was prompted by God to make a decree that the Temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt.
Thus saith Koresh king of Paras: All the kingdoms of the earth hath Hashem, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Yerushalayim, which is in Yehuda. Ezra 1:2
Cyrus sent the Jews under his rule back to Israel with a considerable sum of money with which to rebuild the Temple. The Sanhedrin plans to call on the two world leaders to take up this ancient Biblical decree and support the Jewish people in their holy mission.
Rabbi Weiss explained that the US elections have made the eternal Jewish dream a very real possibility.
“We are poised to rebuild the Temple. The political conditions today, in which the two most important national leaders in the world support the Jewish right to Jerusalem as their spiritual inheritance, is historically unprecedented,” Rabbi Weiss told Breaking Israel News.
The Sanhedrin’s letter notes that Trump’s upset victory was due to his support of Jerusalem, and reminds Trump of his campaign promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, effectively recognizing the city as the capital of Israel. The Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed in Congress in 1995, initiated the moving of the embassy, but has been vetoed since every American president since. The Sanhedrin calls on Trump to withhold the veto after he takes office.
The Sanhedrin also recalled Putin’s connection to the Temple in its letter. During his third official trip to Jerusalem in 2012, Putin paid a late-night visit to the Kotel (Western Wall). When he arrived at the holy site, the Russian leader stood in silence for several minutes, offering up a personal prayer, after which he read Psalms from a Russian-Hebrew prayer book.
An Israeli bystander called out in Russian, “Welcome, President Putin.” Putin approached the man, who explained the importance of the Temple Mount and the Jewish Temple. Chadrei Charedim, an Orthodox Hebrew news site, reported that Putin responded, “That’s exactly the reason I came here – to pray for the Temple to be built again.”
Putin at the Western Wall
After this remarkable exchange, the Sanhedrin sent a letter to Putin calling on him to fulfill his prayer. At the time, President Putin did not respond to the Sanhedrin’s request, but now that the incoming US president is a potential ally in the project, the Sanhedrin believes it is time for Putin to take an active role in rebuilding the Temple.
In addition to its requests concerning the Temple, the Sanhedrin is also calling on Putin and Trump to renew the 1920 League of Nations resolution known as the San Remo treaty, which essentially enabled the creation of a Jewish State by dividing the Ottoman Empire. It incorporated the Balfour Declaration, issued by Great Britain in 1917, which gave official recognition and backing for the establishment of Israel.
US President Calvin Coolidge ratified the San Remo agreement in 1925, thus making recognition of a Jewish State legally binding by US law. The Sanhedrin emphasized that it is imperative at this time, when the Palestinian Authority is attempting to rewrite world history by campaigning against the Balfour declaration, to strengthen the historic American commitment to the State of Israel by readopting the agreement.
Rabbi Weiss emphasized that supporting the Jewish claim to Jerusalem would bring benefit Russia and America, as well as the entire world.
“The leaders of Russia and America can lead the nations of the world to global peace through building the Temple, the source of peace,” Rabbi Weiss explained. “This will offset the disgraceful UNESCO resolutions that are the root cause of increasing terror and violence.”
Last month, the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) passed two resolutions denying any connection between the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish people, ceding to Islam a religious monopoly on many of Judaism’s holiest sites.

I do not understand why folks would ask Putin to be involved with this project–especially considering his abysmal human rights record and habitual warmongering. He is part of the massacre of Christian, Jewish AND Muslim populations
in Syria. What would be the point of involving Putin in a Temple rebuilding project? So he can enter and declare himself
the Anti-Christ? If I were living in Jerusalem, I would be VERY nervous with an ex-KGB head running around an ancient archaeological site!
This is just an amazing prophetic piece we are seeing at this present time or moment! But of course Modern Israel in her land today sits surely in Christian unbelief also. (2 Cor. 3: 13-16, etc.) Though surely too the true Christian loves literal “Israel” (in her land) there and the Jewish People. Jesus/Yeshua Is the Jewish Messiah and will Come Again to Jerusalem and the Holy Land (literally the Mount of Olivet), Zechariah chap’s 12-14!
Come Lord Jesus! (Rev. 22: 20)
Two factors are needed to initiate a time of hyper-inflation. 1. print a lot of extra money 2. DECREASE PRODUCTIVITY. Both factors occurred in 2020 so drastic measures need to be discussed about how exactly to jump start the Israeli and USA economy.
One option is for Israel to crown President Donald J. Trump as the Gentile Moshiach ben Ephrayim who is identifiable with King Cyrus of the ancient Medo – Persian Empire. Orthodox Jewish historian and scholar Yair Davidiy wrote some articles that could be very helpful in explaining this to a primarily English speaking audience.

First the Israeli must recognize that the temple was in the city of David (Zion) and not on the Temple Mount (fort antoni) the west wall is part of the fort. As jesus said there will be no stone left standing, follow scripture it maps out the location of the temple of Solomon. Then the new temple can be built.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I had noticed there is no date anywhere in the heading or body of this article. However, if you look at the link address you will notice this was written back in November of 2016. https://thejerusalemconnection.us/blog/2016/11/13/sanhedrin-asks-putin-trump-build-third-temple-jerusalem
