High Priest for new temple?

[wired4Jesus]

Another preaching and I was talking about the future new temple. How that most of the ceremonial furniture and devices were found and/or re-made. Somethings we remember from the news is that the Snahedrin is in place, and that the ceremonial duties are being practiced by new priests.

Does anyone here know if a high priest been chosen? If so, do you have a link?

Thanks.

I don't think a high priest has been chosen.

But what I do know is that the same day/week the world came to Annapolis to divide Israel into a PA State the gold crown of the high priest was announced/w picture to be completed by the Temple Mount Institute

Rabbi Chaim Richman of the TMI and associated with the Sanhedrin has said they don't need a blemish free red hiefer for the high priest to serve, saying he could serve impure until they find one.

My friend quotes a book by Grant Jeffrey, where Jeffrey says that before the destruction of the old temple, ashes of the red heifer was saved. Along with other artifacts that could not be reproduced today.

Last week, I heard Joel Rosenberg say that everything is in place for the resumption of animal sacrificing.

Not sure if those ashes, if they are the real thing, would still qualify, they've been trying to produce pure spotless red heifers for years now in Israel as well as in the US, with no success.

Not sure how it will play out, but this was interesting:

Connection with Sanhedrin
The high priest was the presiding officer of the Sanhedrin. This view conflicts with the later Jewish tradition according to which the Pharisee tannaim (the Zuggim) at the head of the yeshivot presided over the great Sanhedrin also (Ḥag. ii. 2). However, a careful reading of the sources ("Ant." xx. 10; "Contra Ap." ii., § 23; comp. "Ant." iv. 8, § 14; xiv. 9, §§ 3-5 [Hyrcanus II. as president]; xx. 9, § 1 [Ananus]), as well as the fact that in the post-Maccabean period the high priest was looked upon as exercising in all things, political, legal, and sacerdotal, the supreme authority, shows it to be almost certain that the presidency of the Sanhedrin was vested in the high priest (see Isidore Loeb in "R. E. J." 1889, xix. 188-201;

To me this statement brings things even closer than before........

Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, Director of the Institute, explained some of the Halakhic [Jewish legal] aspects of the fashioning of the vessels for the Temple. "For one thing," he said, "they are made in impurity - for now we are impure, and will remain impure until we are able to have a Red Heifer whose ashes can be used in the Torah-prescribed purification ceremony.

If no Red Heifer is available, then the High Priest must even serve in the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur in a state of impurity."

The part where it says, "must serve" gave me a sudden chill.
