In 1987, a non-profit educational and religious organization was founded in Israel. It was located in the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. This organization was called The Temple Institute.
The founder of the Institute is Rabbi Yisrael Ariel. Rabbi Ariel is a distinguished scholar and author of many Hebrew works. He also served in the paratrooper brigade which liberated the Temple Mount in the Six-Day War of 1967, and was one of the first soldiers to reach the Mount.
The central purpose of the Institute is to rebuild the Temple on the original site of Mount Moriah, and restore the ancient practice of animal sacrifices as set out in the Torah. According to the Statement of Principles outlined on its website, the objectives of the Temple Institute are as follows:
“The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Our short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time.”
“The major focus of the Institute is its efforts towards the beginning of the actual rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Towards this end, the Institute has begun to restore and construct the sacred vessels for the service of the Holy Temple. These vessels, which G-d commanded Israel to create, can be seen today at our headquarters in Jerusalem.”
“They are made according to the exact specifications of the Bible, and have been constructed from the original source materials, such as gold, copper, silver and wood. These are authentic, accurate vessels, not merely replicas or models. All of these items are fit and ready for use in the service of the Holy Temple. Among the many items featured in the exhibition are musical instruments played by the Levitical choir, the golden crown of the High Priest, and gold and silver vessels used in the incense and sacrificial services.” (http://www.templeinstitute.org/about.htm)
Examples of some of the sacred vessels that have already been created can be seen in the photographs below:

The Temple Institute has also conducted intensive research into the exact dimensions of the original Temple of Solomon so that, when the time comes, the new Temple will be an exact replica of the original building, as shown below:
http://www.templeinstitute.org/gallery_28.htm
The central focus of worship in the new Temple will be the Sanctuary, which will contain the Menora and other holy ritual objects, as shown below:
http://www.templeinstitute.org/gallery_18.htm
http://www.templeinstitute.org/gallery_30.htm
At the far end of the Sanctuary will be the “Holy of Holies”, or the Inner Sanctuary of the Tabernacle. At the time of Solomon, the Inner Sanctuary was hidden by a veil, and entry was forbidden to everyone but the High Priest, and even he was only only permitted to enter it on one day of the year.
At the time of the original Temple built on Mount Moriah by Solomon, the Inner Sanctuary was kept in total darkness. The entry of the High Priest into the Inner Sanctuary of the Tabernacle took place on the “Day of Atonement” (Yom Kippur), which is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
According to tradition, the Inner Sanctuary contained the Ark of the Covenant, in which were placed the stone tablets on which were inscribed the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai, as well as the Rod used by Aaron and a golden jar of Manna, the mysterious food which had sustained them in the desert.
The Ark of the Covenant disappeared at the time that the original Temple of Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. According to most Biblical scholars it was believed that King Nebuchadnezzar II had taken the Ark with him when he returned to Babylon.
However, some researchers of the Temple Institute believe that the Ark was never removed from the Temple Mount, and that it remains to this day hidden in a secret vault. They believe that once the Temple is rebuilt, the Ark will be restored to its place in the “Holy of Holies”, where it will once again fulfill its original purpose at the center of the Jewish system of religious sacrifice.

According to the Oracle of Tolemac, in the days leading up to the return of the Christ, the Jews will rebuild the Temple of Solomon on its original site on Mount Moriah. This new Temple will once again become the central focus of Jewish worship, and the place where their ancient practice of animal sacrifices will be resumed.
What makes this prediction seemingly impossible at this time is that the site on which Solomon constructed his original temple is also one of the holiest places in the Islamic religion. For it was on this site that Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad ascended into Heaven, accompanied by the angel Gabriel.
To commemorate this event, the Muslims built a golden shrine called “The Dome of the Rock” in 691 AD. Close to this shrine and on the same platform of stone, they also erected the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Both of these buildings have since become integral features of the Islamic faith.
Although the Israeli flag was hoisted above the Dome of the Rock for a few hours in 1967, following the capture of Jerusalem by the Israelis in the Six-Day War, it was lowered on the orders of General Moshe Dayan, in order to avoid offending Muslims and to preserve peace.
Today the entire Temple Mount area is owned and maintained by the Ministry of Awqaf in Jordan. Although non-Muslims are now permitted to visit the Temple Mount during certain times, they are prohibited from entering these Muslim shrines.
However, this access does not apply to Orthodox Jews, and Jewish visitors are warned that entry to the Temple Mount is a violation of the Torah. This is because the entire area is regarded as sacred ground, as it once housed the “Holy of Holies” of the Temple of Solomon.
In the face of these obstacles, it would seem impossible for the prediction of the Oracle of Tolemac to be fulfilled under the existing circumstances. Any attempt by the Jews to rebuild the Temple of Solomon on the same site as these Islamic shrines would spark a religious conflict that could lead to nuclear war.
Yet in the book “The Last days of Tolemac”, the Oracle not only predicts that the Jews will rebuild this Temple on its former site, but he also outlines the circumstances under which this will take place. When this time comes, the Temple Mount will look like this:
http://www.templeinstitute.org/gallery_49.htm
What makes this prophecy especially significant is that the materials needed to construct the building and its contents have already been prepared.

According to the Oracle of Tolemac, a specific series of events will occur in the Middle East that will lead up to the appearance of the Anti-Christ and the ultimate return of the Redeemer. These events will involve the people of Israel and the armies of its enemies. It is to the Middle East that we need to look for the signs of the times.
The Oracle of Tolemac warns that words of peace in the Middle East will shortly turn to thoughts of war. It is clear that powerful forces in the Middle East are committed to undermining the peace process initiated by the United States, as we can see from these remarks by Vice-President Cheney.

Meanwhile Hamas in Gaza looks for ever more effective ways to put these thoughts of war into practice.

The maps that have been created by Gordon-Michael Scallion show a world that has been transformed by inundations of the sea. Existing portions of the land have sunk beneath the sea, while new land masses have arisen in other places. One of the most interesting changes in the world map is that new lands have emerged out of the sea in the same places where the legendary continents of Atlantis and Lemuria were once said to have existed.
In the June 1996 Issue of “The Earth Changes Report”, Scallion describes for the reader the dramatic images that appeared before him in his visions, showing the changes that would one day take place on the earth.
“..I am now shown the Earth, and as a result of the shockwave, the Earth shudders everywhere. There are winds. I am watching large landmasses that appear to be the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. They are moving, perhaps half the plate structure of the Earth, shift as if in a single movement. They do not go up or down, but rather they slip. The movement from my perspective doesn’t seem far, but it might be something akin to twenty-five or thirty degrees of slippage.
I watch certain land masses that were warm become instantly cold. I see animals, grazing animals that look like herds of cattle, frozen in their paths. I watch other areas that are mile-high with snow, melting. I realize that it is the Antarctic. As I am watching there is a time lapse which I would assume would be weeks or months. I watch Greenland; the ice is melting so fast that water levels are rising. The water is moving in so fast that new seaways are made.
I can see inland seas in the United States. I can see a river running from the Great Lakes to Phoenix. I can see that the St. Lawrence Seaway has become a large inland sea. The Mississippi divides the United States in two. Europe has become a series of larger islands and most of Northern Europe is under water. At the same time I am seeing other land masses thrust up from the ocean bottom as a result of the shift. I see huge land masses in the Atlantic and the Pacific thrust up, even though the melting has raised the water level. Are there still twelve tectonic plates? I move round to see how many there are. After counting I find there are twenty-four..”
If the visions that GMS has so vividly described in the passages above are true premonitions of future changes to the world, then they merely add to the voices of others who have already predicted great tribulation for humanity in the days that lie ahead.
For the visions of GMS match those of St. Malachy and Sister Lúcia of Fatima, as well as the quatrains of Nostradamus and the Revelations of St. John. There is a consistency that runs through the testimony of all of these witnesses that bear out the predictions made by Jesus himself shortly before his crucifixion.
But however dramatic and terrifying these prophecies may be, they do little to prepare humanity for the times that lie ahead. For unless people are able to understand the reasons for these changes, and why these cataclysmic events are destined to occur, the prophecies themselves serve little purpose, other than to satisfy curiosity or promote sensationalism, as Pope John-Paul II warned.
This is why the predictions contained in “The Last Days of Tolemac” are so different from those mentioned above. For the Oracle of Tolemac not only describes what will happen to the earth and its peoples, often in far more dramatic terms than those used above, he goes further. He explains why these events are happening to the earth and what the future outcome will be.
But more important than all of this is the fact that he provides the key to surviving these catastrophes, and the secret to inheriting the golden future that awaits all those who pass the test of this great initiation.

Then in August 1991 GMS began to have nightmares. These nightmares were about the earth, which seemed to him to be a sentient being. Whereas before he had been able to look into people and see what was wrong with their physical, mental or spiritual bodies, now he seemed to be able to sense what was wrong with the earth. In these nightmares, it seemed to GMS that the earth was in great pain.
He then began to get visions of various disasters that would happen to the earth. Within a month he found that these visionary experiences were beginning to come true. His first major vision was that Mexico City would have a major earthquake, leading to the death of over 5,000 people. This premonition later proved to be correct.
These visions then began to occur to GMS anywhere at any time, even while he was driving. He described the process as like watching three TV screens, one in front of him, and one on either side. Although he found that he was able to see all three screens at once, each screen had a different degree of color.
After observing these visions for some time, GMS realized that he was seeing three probable outcomes of an event. The more colorful the picture was, the more likely it was for that event to happen. The more faded the colors looked on the screen, the less likely it was for that event to occur. In this way, GMS found that he was able to interpret future events that were unfolding on the earth.
One of Gordon-Michael Scallion’s most recognized accomplishments is his “Future Map of the World”. This map is a composite summary of the many visions which he has had about the future of the earth. In his visions GMS has seen evidence of an earth that has been transformed by cataclysm, into a world that is vastly different from the earth we know today.
GMS has described how he came to draw his future map of the world, and how it would be changed as a result of the coming cataclysms.
“Since 1979 I have had ongoing visions concerning the Earth, sometimes as many as ten or more in a day, lasting from a few seconds to minutes. In 1982, I began to sketch a map based on the visions, and I updated it through the years as new information was presented to me. This map is the culmination of a major ongoing effort to consolidate all the Earth change information I have received. As a result, the “Future Map of the World” is the most comprehensive and up to date representation of Earth Change visions and information presented to me over the past seventeen years.”
This “Future Map of the World” is available at his website (shown below), and to date has sold more than 100,000 copies. It has also been enlarged to cover individual continents, so that these future changes can be seen in greater detail.
Gordon-Michael Scallion makes his home today in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, where he is the Director of the Matrix Institute which was founded in 1982. The Institute issues a quarterly journal to publicize his visions. His newsletter “The Earth Changes Report” is now printed in several languages. Copies of his maps can be ordered from his website: www.matrixinstitute.com

 Gordon-Michael Scallion (or GMS as he prefers to be called), was a man who was leading a very happy life aboard a thirty-foot sailboat and making, in his words, “incredible sums of money”. Then, in 1979, something happened which completely changed his life.
One afternoon, while he was in the middle of a conversation, he lost his voice entirely “in a split second”. He was taken to hospital where doctors conducted comprehensive tests of his vocal chords, larynx and throat muscles. Since they could find nothing wrong, they said his problems were psychosomatic.
But something very strange had definitely occurred. Within a few hours of leaving hospital, GMS found that his physical vision had changed. He now began to see colors and lights around animals, plants, trees and people. He had no idea what these colors meant and he thought that his vision was to blame.
For the next few months he consulted a variety of physicians and therapists. None could find anything wrong with his sight. Their recommendations were that he undergo either drug or shock therapy. It was a long time before GMS realized that what he was actually seeing were the “auras” of all life forms.
He decided that his best course of action was to leave Florida and hope that his vision problems would go away. He therefore returned to New England where, after a few months, he found that his vision had returned to normal. There were no more lights and colors.
Then, as unexpectedly as they had vanished, the lights and colors returned. But this time, in addition to his normal sight, he began to see moving pictures in his peripheral vision. Although many of these scenes were of people doing ordinary things, he also began to see scenes of ancient places, like Greek temples and glass domes.
Up until this time, GMS had lived a normal life. Although he was raised as a Catholic, he had no special religious or spiritual ambition in his life. As he described it: “I was just someone floating through life, very much into the material world”.
Then one day in 1985 GMS heard an inner voice which said: “We’re going to start training”. When he asked who the voice was, he was told that it was his “Monad” speaking. When he asked what this “Monad” was, he was told that it was a part of himself that he would have to discover on his own.
For the next few years this inner voice would return, usually around five o’clock in the morning. It would talk to him for about fifteen minutes, discussing such things as how the physical body or the earth worked. At the same time GMS found that he began to get visions of things that were happening in the world.

Among the many questions raised by readers of “The Last Days of Tolemac”, the most provocative are those that relate to future inundations. According to the Oracle of Tolemac, when the time of “tribulation” begins, there will be cataclysmic changes to the earth. Some countries will disappear completely beneath the waves, while in other places new land masses will emerge from the ocean depths.
Many readers are skeptical about the possibility of such catastrophic earth changes in the near future. The reason they are doubtful is that the geological foundation of the earth appears to have been stable for thousands of years. Why, they ask, should things suddenly change now? The purpose of this newsletter is to review these predictions and present information which may be new to many people.
There is something naturally disturbing about the idea of the earth giving way beneath our feet, and being swallowed up by the sea. According to modern scientists, because no such calamities have occurred on such a scale within the recorded history of humanity, they are unlikely to happen now.
These scientists consider the Biblical description of the story of Noah and a world-wide flood to be allegorical stories that should not be mistaken for historical truth. They consider that these stories should be relegated to the category of myth, alongside such fanciful tales as the destruction of Lemuria and Atlantis.
The problem with this traditional point of view is that it presupposes that the true knowledge of the prehistory of the world is already fully known, and that no evidence exists to the contrary. But new evidence to the contrary is now being discovered by scientists in every region of the world, causing many of them to challenge their traditional view of history.
We have already presented evidence of the ruins of a sunken city located off the coast of Cuba. These ruins lie at a depth of over 2,000 feet below sea level, which is clearly too deep to be explained away by local flooding. Even if there had been a dramatic warming of the ice pack and glacial beds in distant times, this could not have raised the level of the sea by such an extent.
But these discoveries of undersea ruins are not limited to the area around Cuba. As the technology of underwater exploration has become more sophisticated so new discoveries of undersea ruins have been found in widely dispersed places around the earth.
New underwater ruins have been found off the coasts of India and Egypt, as well as near the Japanese island of Yonaguni, as shown on the link below.
http://www.altarcheologie.nl/index.html?underwater_ruins/yonaguni/introduction.htm
What these discoveries suggest is that there is still much to learn about the ancient history of humanity, and that human civilization may well prove to be many thousands of years older than historians now believe.
These new discoveries of undersea ruins also raise the question that, if cities were inundated by the sea in prehistoric times, could similar events occur again in the future? The prophecies of the Oracle of Tolemac indicate that they can and will. Similar prophecies have also been made by Seers like Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and others, as well as in various Holy Books.
There is a new witness who also believes this to be true. This man did not live many centuries ago. In fact he is alive today. He did not intend to predict future cataclysmic changes to the earth. But by an unexpected twist of fate his life was totally transformed. His name is G-M. Scallion.

According to the Oracle of Tolemac, a specific series of events will occur in the Middle East that will lead up to the appearance of the Anti-Christ and the ultimate return of the Redeemer. These events will involve the people of Israel and the armies of its enemies. It is to the Middle East that we need to look for the signs of the times.
Two recent articles published in the Al-Ahram Weekly make interesting reading. In one, the author writes how the recent assassination of Imad Mughniyah has stoked the desire for retaliation. In the other, the writer observes that Islamic interests are better served by war than by than the pursuit of peace.
Readers can see these articles for themselves at: http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2008/888/op3.htm
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2008/888/re4.htm
And inevitably, increasing hostility on one side is met with hardening attitudes on the other, as may be seen from this recent Israeli report.

These sunken ruins could also provide the key to the origin of the mysterious structure of Teotihuacán in central Mexico. According to Collins:
“The Teotihuacán culture, which thrived in Central Mexico from around 400 BC through until around AD 500, remains an enigma to archaeologists. Its origin is unclear. What we do know is that legends once told by the Totonac peoples of eastern Mexico spoke of the founders of its sacred city of Teotihuacán, with its mighty Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, as having arrived on the Gulf coast from an island homeland which lay beyond the sea.”
There is an eerie similarity between the description of the ruins of the undersea city (roads, buildings and pyramids) given by Paulina Zelitsky, and the enigmatic remains of Teotihuacán that can be seen today not far from Mexico City. It suggests that there was indeed a link between the ruined civilization of Tolemac and the culture of Teotihuacan.
While it is obviously premature to draw any definite conclusions from the underwater evidence, there is every reason to believe that as further information becomes available, the accepted history of Mesoamerican cultures will have to be drastically rewritten. It will also become apparent that the history of Central America will extend back much farther in time than modern historians have thus far believed.
The origin of the legendary city of Teotihuacán is unknown. The name Teotihuacán itself is the Nahuatl (the language spoken by the Aztecs) name that was given to the place by the Aztecs, who simply referred to the builders of this city as their legendary ancestors. Modern historians attribute this site to the Toltec culture, but it is not known whether the Toltecs were an actual ethnic society, or whether the word Toltec was a generic term used by the Aztecs to describe a number of different ancient Mesoamerican societies.
What should immediately become evident is that the practice of pyramid building did not begin with the builders of Teotihuacán. For if the undersea ruins discovered off the island of Cuba do represent similar urban structures, then not only does the origin of the pyramid shape itself come into question, but also its antiquity.
Once the underwater ruins off Cuba have been extensively researched, it will be important to discover whether the “pyramid-like” structures on the sea bed are actual pyramids, and if so, whether they are of the “step-pyramid” type that is characteristic of later Mesoamerican cultures, or whether they have the smooth sides that are associated with the pyramids of Egypt on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
If the underwater ruins off the island of Cuba do contain pyramid-like structures, this will cause historians to reconsider the possibility that the practice of pyramid building might actually have emanated from a single cultural source. In this case, as Andrew Collins has suggested above, the true origin of the pyramid shape could point to the legendary land of Atlantis, “mankind’s greatest historical enigma”.
The discovery of underwater megalithic ruins is not limited to the coast of Cuba. Many other enigmatic ruins and artifacts have been found in countries surrounding the Caribbean that could add force to the argument that entire nations perished in the distant past when the ground sank beneath them and they were swallowed up by the sea, just as has been described in “The Last days of Tolemac”.
The true origins of the cultures of Central America remain shrouded in mystery. However, as new evidence related to this subject becomes available, it will be included in later issues of the Newsletter published by The Tolemac Foundation. We believe that this will confirm the words of the Oracle of Tolemac, and add further credibility to the events that are predicted to occur on the earth in the immediate future.
Allan, Lost Cities of Tolemac, March 12, 2008, 10:59 pm
When it was pointed out that other underwater ruins had been discovered in neighboring areas such as the Bay of Batabanó, he replied: “We have not explored these other areas yet but we intend to in the future.” And when asked if there was any geological evidence to suggest that the islands that exist in the Caribbean today might actually be the mountain tops and high ground of a landmass that sank beneath the sea as a result of cataclysms in ancient times, he said: “Yes, geologists tell us that Yucatan, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico were connected at one time. There is still much to learn about the geological history of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.”
The fact that ancient underwater ruins of a hitherto unknown origin have now been found off the coast of Cuba, provide confirmation of the words of the Oracle of Tolemac, and give credence to the story of the sudden destruction of the Tolemac cities as a result of cataclysmic earth changes taking place at the time.
This is also beginning to be accepted by mainstream science, as witnessed by a National Geographic News report dated May 28, 2002. Writing about the underwater megalithic ruins that had been discovered off the coast of Cuba, it had this to say about the ancient flood myths:
“Ancient stories of massive floods pass from generation to generation and in many places in the world are integral to a people’s spoken history. The tales differ by locale, but commonly feature either torrential rains or a hugely destructive wall of water bursting into a valley, destroying everything in its path. In many cases, the flooding is an act of retribution by displeased gods. Scientists, historians, and archaeologists view many of these enduring tales as myth, legend, or allegoric tales meant to illustrate moral principles. Recent findings indicate that at least a few of them could be based on real floods that caused destruction on an enormous scale.”
Commenting on this undersea discovery and its link with the local legends, Andrew Collins (author of the book “Gateway to Atlantis”) wrote in a Special Report:
“Myths and legends told by the indigenous peoples of the Bahaman and Caribbean archipelagos, when the Spanish first reached the New World, spoke of just such a cataclysm. They said that the waters suddenly rushed in and drowned the great landmass, breaking it up into the individual islands seen today.”
Collins went on to point out that this discovery would also have profound implications for the prehistory of the region.
“If Paulina Zelitsky and her oceanographic colleagues are right in their belief that ‘pyramids, roads and buildings’ do lie off Cuba’s western coastline, then it is clear that the prehistory of the Caribbean, and its influence on the rise of Mesoamerican civilisation, will have to be revised dramatically. Moreover, it could well be that at long last the mystery of Atlantis, mankind’s greatest historical enigma, is about to unfold in a most spectacular fashion.”
