Prof. dr. W. van ’t Spijker died on Friday, July 23, 2021. You can read his obituary here. If you aren’t familiar with him, he was a scholar of the Reformation. And a very, very goo… ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________
Theological Complicity in State Violence
Calvinism and Lutheranism Compared: Prof. Dr. Willem van ‘t Spijker (1926–2021), a leading Dutch Calvinist theologian, made substantial contributions to church history, ecclesiastical law, and the development of Reformed theology. Yet his work conspicuously failed to grapple with one of the most catastrophic consequences of the Protestant Reformation: The Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648).
At the heart of Reformed theology lies the doctrine of predestination—the belief that God has foreordained all events, including salvation and damnation. This framework fostered a militant providentialism: war was interpreted as a divine tool, victory as confirmation of righteousness, and suffering as sanctification; terror Islam sanctifies its martyrs this very day. Such logic fueled the religious zealotry of Protestant-Catholic conflicts in early modern Europe and sacralized political violence. Calvinist theologians, including van ‘t Spijker, largely failed to confront the theological and moral implications of their tradition’s role in igniting and escalating such brutal barbaric bloodshed.
This blind spot extended far beyond the Reformation. A similar theological detachment reemerged during the Nazi era, when much of Protestant Europe—especially the Lutheran Church in Germany—collapsed morally in the face of totalitarianism and genocide. The result was catastrophic: 75% of Western European Jewry and 63% of European and Russian Jews were annihilated. Churches failed to resist—and in many cases collaborated with—Nazism, cloaking their cowardice or complicity in theological rationalizations of “obedience” and “providence.”
Van ‘t Spijker’s silence on these historical-theological intersections utterly emblematic of a much broader failure within Reformed scholarship: the inability to reckon with how doctrinal systems, when left unchallenged, enable state violence. Without such critical introspection, the Reformed tradition risks perpetuating a theology disconnected from its own ethical consequences.
Both Calvinist and Lutheran systems share foundational errors that—when unchecked—open the door to theological barbarism. In Calvinist thought, God’s sovereign will is absolute; every event, from salvation to catastrophe, is predetermined. During the Thirty Years’ War, this led to a dangerous fusion of theology and politics: military victory was seen as a sign of divine favor, while political violence became a “righteous” necessity. Calvinist churches, despite their strong synodal structures, proved unable—or unwilling—to restrain theological alliances with princely power. This alignment justified widespread bloodshed, famine, and forced displacement as sacred duty.
Martin Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” doctrine separated the spiritual and political realms, teaching that secular rulers are divinely appointed and must not be resisted. By the 20th century, this was transformed into an ideological bludgeon by the German Christian movement, which fused Lutheranism with Nazism. Clergy upheld obedience even as the state descended into genocide. Though the Barmen Declaration (1934), led by Karl Barth, attempted to resist this theological capitulation, the Confessing Church remained a marginalized minority. The institutional Lutheran Church stood largely silent—or worse, supportive—as the Nazis murdered millions, including the overwhelming majority of European Jewry.
Calvinism, with its emphasis on God’s glory and man’s depravity, lacked a theology of inherent human dignity. Jews, Catholics, and heretics were viewed as reprobates—predestined for damnation, beyond grace, justice, or mercy. This theological posture helped normalize righteous violence against those outside the “elect.”
Lutheran theology was even more explicit. Luther’s own antisemitic writings—On the Jews and Their Lies (1543)—called for synagogue burnings and expulsion. These ideas laid the groundwork for Christian racial antisemitism. The Nazi vision of the Jew drew directly from centuries of Lutheran contempt and theological supersessionism: the idea that Christianity had replaced Israel as God’s chosen; where Jesus as the son of God replace the oath brit sworn to Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov that they would father the chosen Cohen people.
Therefore, in both cases, the churches failed to resist tyranny not only because of fear—but because their theological systems lacked a mechanism to challenge it from within. In the end, the failure of both Reformed traditions was not merely a failure of courage—but a failure of theological architecture. Their systems lacked internal mechanisms—legal, moral, or interpretive—to challenge tyranny from within. When state violence aligned itself with religious rhetoric, these traditions were intellectually disarmed.
Whereas Jewish tradition sustains a culture of legal argumentation, known as משנה תורה/Legislative Review; grounded in the courtroom common law which stands upon prior judical precedent courtroom rulings. European courts lack the power to overrule the State. A critical flaw that NT theology, in all its many forms or formats, has totally failed to address. Neither Christianity nor Islam has the cultural tradition of judicial “prophets”.
Both “daughter religions” define prophesy as – foretelling the future. The Torah views this interpretation as Av tuma witchcraft. According to the Torah prophets command mussar. How does mussar define prophesy? Mussar applies equally across the board to all generations of the chosen Cohen people. Only the chosen Cohen people received and accepted the Torah revelation at Sinai and Horev.
Both Christian and Muslim theological creed belief systems emphatically embrace a theology of Monotheism. Alas monotheism violates the 2nd Sinai commandment. Only Israel accepted the Torah at Sinai. Therefore the God of the chosen Cohen people a local tribal God and not a Universal God as Christian and Islamic theology dictates to its believers.
In the end, the failure of both Reformed and Lutheran traditions was not merely a lack of courage, but a failure of theological design. These systems lacked the internal instruments—legal, prophetic, interpretive—needed to resist tyranny when it arose cloaked in religious language.

In a sweeping move, Senator Marco Rubio announced sanctions against four International Criminal Court ________________________________________ ________________________________________
Marco Rubio’s sanctions on ICC judges—in response to politically driven rulings targeting the U.S. and Israel—represent the first serious American pushback against the expanding overreach of international legal institutions. But these sanctions merely scratch the surface. If Israel were to bomb the International Criminal Court in The Hague for the crime of judicial overreach, it would unleash a shockwave through the foundations of the post-WWII European imperial legal order.
Such an act would shatter the illusion that the Rome Statute and its court represent binding global authority. In truth, the ICC is a political weapon wielded disproportionately against Western democracies and their allies, while shielding rogue regimes. Its authority rests on consensus, not enforcement. The Rome Treaty would be exposed as not worth the paper it’s written on.
Europe forfeited its moral right to judge the Jewish people the moment it orchestrated the Shoah. Any European claim to universal justice—especially when applied selectively against the Jewish state—is hypocrisy cloaked in humanitarianism. The ICC’s rulings against Israel are not about war crimes; they are ritual acts of expiation for Europe’s own genocidal guilt. But that guilt is not Israel’s burden to carry. To bomb the ICC would be to formally reject Europe’s post-Nazi pretensions to legal supremacy and declare: “You have no right to judge us.”
Bombing the ICC would have the same historical effect as the 1956 Suez Crisis: the end of European claims to independent geopolitical authority. Just as France and the UK’s failed bid to reclaim the Suez Canal revealed their imperial impotence, an Israeli destruction of the ICC would reveal the EU’s inability to project legal-moral power beyond its own borders.
What the EU has is not law, but a narrative infrastructure—paper treaties, postmodern guilt, and international NGOs wielding legal language as a substitute for lost religious and imperial confidence.
A targeted Israeli strike on the ICC would not trigger war. It would trigger disbelief, followed by narrative collapse, and finally a global reckoning with Western legal hypocrisy. The EU would be faced with the question: do we escalate to save face—or submit to an Israeli dictate which radically limits the EU authority in the balance of power in the Middle East and in Europe.
If Israel bombed the Court of the Hague for the crime of judicial over-reach. This would set a precedent that the establishment of the ICC through the Rome Treaty – not worth the paper the Rome Treaty written upon. Widespread EU condemnations Big Deal. England and France have already broken off diplomatic relations with Israel. The Trump Government in Washington most likely would support Israel if Israel bombed the Court of the Hague for judicial over-reach. The Rome Treaty established Court would most likely dissolve. It would most definitely challenge the judicial jurisdiction of a European Court over Israel! Post Shoah Europe lost its rights to judge Jews. The destruction of the Pie in the Sky Rome Treaty would establish a major political precedent that European imperialism stops at the borders of the EU member states alone.
The assertion that bombing the ICC in The Hague would lead to a collapse of the EU’s prestige is a strong viewpoint that reflects significant concerns about the authority and effectiveness of international institutions. If a member state or a country with significant geopolitical influence, like Israel, were to attack an international institution such as the ICC, it could be perceived as a direct challenge to the authority of not only the ICC but also the broader framework of international law that the EU supports. In short: bombing the Court of the Hague would radically change the balance of power in Europe. For the first time since the Muslim invasion of Western Europe a major disruption of European political autonomy would result. The EU would either put up or shut up: either they would declare War against Israel or not. The Nato alliance, if the US backed Israel would unquestionably collapse. The EU’s credibility as a defender of international law would cease to exist – gone like a puff of smoke. Israel would have called the bluff of the EU, like as if bombing the ICC compares to a hand of stud poker! This could lead to a more fragmented international order, challenging the EU’s role as a global actor.
An attack on the ICC could set a precedent that undermines the enforcement of international law, leading to a situation where states feel empowered to act unilaterally without regard for international institutions. The incident could complicate diplomatic relations not only between Israel and the EU but also between other countries and international organizations. It could lead to a reevaluation of how states engage with international legal frameworks. The UN itself would most likely collapse like as did the League of Nations. If nothing else, the historical relationship between Europe and Israel, particularly in the context of the Shoah and post-war UN attempt to compare Israel to the European Nazi crimes against humanity, adds layers of complexity to this European projectionism of its own Nazi guilt and the moral bankruptcy of both Western and Eastern Roman church moral authority over European civilizations. The implications of such an act would resonate deeply within the historical narrative of European-Jewish relations and radically shift the narrative reversing the role of Jews as dominant and the church as dhimmi slaves – utterly rejected and despised.
The entire European security architecture is underwritten by the United States, both financially and militarily. Without U.S. backing, NATO becomes functionally hollow. France and the UK retain nuclear capability, but their conventional power is insufficient to act independently against a U.S.-aligned state like Israel.
No EU state would risk confrontation with the U.S., their most vital ally, over a non-NATO event like an Israeli action against the ICC. EU states are deeply post-military in culture. Their battlefield is law, narrative, and diplomacy—not armed force. Even in the face of Russian invasion (Ukraine), EU states have limited direct engagement, preferring economic sanctions, legal resolutions, and humanitarian aid. Against Israel, the EU’s instinct would be: denounce, sanction, isolate—not mobilize or fight.
Much of EU condemnation of Israel is a projection of its own unresolved guilt over colonialism and the Holocaust. This moral outrage stops at the threshold of real cost. That’s why you see relentless UN resolutions, ICC motions, and media warfare—but not realpolitik confrontation. Israel calling their bluff—if the U.S. holds firm—exposes their impotence. If Israel bombed the ICC in the Hague – No War. No boots. No tanks. NO Article 5 Nato involvement. The collapse of Nato as an alliance.
Symbolic institutions (like the ICC) to claim moral authority—but has no spine when force or geopolitical will counters that narrative. If Israel, backed by a U.S. administration, were to shatter a legal myth like the ICC’s authority … No war, but rather most likely the total collapse of EU imperialist Post WWII illusion of legal hegemony on par with England and France failure to capture and seize the Suez canal in the 1956 War. It would clearly reset the terms of European involvement in global legal power.
In the past I’ve written about it ad nauseam — the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. Then, two nights ago, there it was again in a series of three hour-long episodes _________________________________ _________________________________
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols their motivations were deeply rooted in their opposition to government actions, particularly the Waco siege in 1993, where the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian compound, leading to a standoff that resulted in the deaths of 76 individuals. Additionally, the Ruby Ridge incident in 1992, which involved a confrontation between federal agents and the Weaver family, further fueled their anti-government sentiments. McVeigh and Nichols meticulously planned the bombing, believing that it would send a strong message against what they perceived as government overreach and tyranny.
On April 19, 1995, McVeigh parked a rented Ryder truck filled with explosives outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The explosion, which occurred at 9:02 AM, caused widespread destruction and resulted in significant loss of life. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 168 people, including 19 children, and injured over 600 others. It caused significant destruction to the surrounding area and damaged or destroyed several nearby buildings.
The Waco siege and the Ruby Ridge incident were two significant events in the 1990s that involved confrontations between federal law enforcement and individuals or groups that were perceived as threats to public safety or law and order. Both incidents raised serious questions about the use of government authority and the actions taken by federal agents. The Waco siege involved the Branch Davidian religious sect, led by David Koresh, who was suspected of stockpiling illegal weapons. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant on February 28, 1993, which led to a gunfight and the deaths of four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians.
The federal government, under President Bill Clinton, justified the siege as a necessary action to enforce laws regarding illegal weapons and to protect public safety. The FBI took over the operation, which lasted for 51 days, culminating in a final assault on April 19, 1993, that resulted in a fire that consumed the compound, killing 76 individuals, including many women and children. The handling of the siege was widely criticized for its aggressive tactics and the loss of life. GOP opposition critics of President Clinton accused his leadership of complete, utter and criminal incompetence. Clinton apparently to busy forcing young women to give him a blow job. The GOP opposition condemned the Clinton government for grossly overstepped its authority and its utter and complete incompetence to negotiate effectively. The impeachment of Clinton served as a Parliamentary vote of No Confidence in the Government!
The Ruby Ridge incident involved Randy Weaver, who was wanted for failing to appear in court on a firearms charge. A standoff occurred between Weaver’s family and federal agents, including the U.S. Marshals and the FBI, which escalated into violence, resulting in the deaths of Weaver’s wife, Vicki, and his son, Samuel. The federal government, under President George H.W. Bush, guilty of State War-crimes in his illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and strongly suspected of justifying this imperialist nation building through the 9/11 inside job attack which resembles something like the Dec 7th Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
But Cheney/Bush in their absolute and insane criminal arrogance did not approach Congress and ask for a Congressional Declaration of War. Instead these corrupt opportunistic war criminals passed their vile Patriot Act which negated the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution. Similar to Waco, the actions taken at Ruby Ridge were criticized for being excessive and poorly managed, leading to unnecessary loss of life.
In both cases, there was significant public outcry and criticism of the government’s actions, but very few individuals faced legal consequences. Federal bureaucraps almost Universally operate without any accountability for their actions or regulatory laws they illegally impose upon the American people. This illegal forth branch of the US Government shares an incestuous relationship with Federally established Corporate monopolies. The latter has a revolving door incest/taboo relationship with Federal homo-bureaucraps.
This illegal 4th Branch of the post Civil War Washington over-reach Government negates the Commerce Clause which relegates intra-state autonomy to the Legislatures of the States of the Union to bureaucratically regulate all intra-state trade & commerce, independent and free from Big Brother Federal carpet-bagger pervert bureaucraps overwatch. Post Civil War the Lincoln GOP dismantled the States authority to appoint Federal Senators to Congress through a Constitutional Amendment.
The damned Yankees despise States Rights in favor of mob rule democracy. Hence Federal agents often operate under legal fiction protections that shield them from prosecution – when they act in the name of the State! This perversion of the Constitution set the stage wherein the incest revolving door Bureaucrap-Government established (Socialist) Corporate Monopolies function as a concealed Government which pulls the strings of the elected puppets of the 3 Branches of the Federal Government. Herein explains why it cost over a billion dollars to elect a US President to Office. The State established Federal corporate monopolies shape and determine the outcome of all “democratic” elections. These “elections” do not employ paper ballots!
Investigations into the actions of federal agents invarably conclude that the use of bureaucrapic force – completely justified. Leading to a mafia like shielding – lack of criminal charges of politicians and bureaucraps; Obama can spy on candidate Trump with a fraud hoax Russia-Gate/Water-Gate, with complete and total impunity or risk. The Federal Government plays by a completely different set of rules than those imposed upon the peasant citizens\serf populations. Federal employees enjoy far more benefits than the bread crumbs thrown to the mob masses; the bankrupt social security by which the Federal government taxes the people does not apply to Federal employees and Congress personnel. The decision not to pursue charges against government officials based upon this illegal two-tiered corrupt legal system the direct result of the Lincoln rejection of Jeffersonian Democracy.
The Oklahoma City bombing occurred on April 19, 1995, and was one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. The attack was carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who sought to retaliate against the federal government, particularly in response to the Waco siege in 1993 and the Ruby Ridge incident in 1992. Civil War Santa Claus is coming to town.
Force Obama to stand trial over the Russia-Gate\Water-Gate internal spying of the US government against the Trump opposition candidate leading up to the 2016 Elections where Trump beat Hillbillery Clinton.
Fiona Hill, a prominent expert on Russia and former senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council, gained significant attention during the impeachment inquiry of former President Donald Trump in 2019. She testified about the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine and the implications of Russian interference in U.S. politics. Tulsi Gabbard, who is now serving as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has made headlines for sending criminal referrals to the Department of Justice concerning alleged leaks of classified information, claiming these leaks were intended to undermine President Trump’s agenda. Gabbard has revoked security clearances for several individuals, including Fiona Hill, as part of her efforts to address what she describes as politicization of intelligence and leaks that threaten national security. This action has raised concerns about the integrity of the intelligence community and the implications for those affected.
C.S. Lewis’s “The Great Divorce” – a narrative that presents a fictional journey from a gray, dreary town (representing Hell through this metaphor) to a vibrant, beautiful heaven, where the characters confront their own choices and the nature of their desires. On par with the Aslan lion metaphor which depicts the Easter resurrection from the dead story.
The “Great Divorce” theme focuses upon pride. Many of the characters in this metaphor cling to their “sins”. A guilt trip that dates back to the apostle Pauls’ “Original Sin” narishkeit. A lot of Goyim reject the NT guilt trip ideology. The entire Xtian theology of Heaven and Hell, pie in the sky religious theological speculations. The Talmud teaches a person who speculates on matters which the Human mind cannot conceive or grasp … better that such persons’ never born.
To make literal declarations like “All in hell want to be there”, simply perverting a children story as depicting actual reality – what complete and utter nonsense! The theological creed Xtian belief systems qualify as examples of the metaphor story of residents of hell who made conscious choices that reflect their fervent beliefs in some pie in the sky Nicene theology of the Trinity.
Torah has no concept of “Free Will” as Calvin solemnly declared. John Calvin’s “dogma” of Free Will emphasizes the sovereignty of some undefined god. His theology promotes the notion that this undefined Universal god has predetermined who will be saved and who will be damned. This perverse dogmatism defines the key component of Reformed Protestant theology.
However, Calvin did acknowledge the concept of human responsibility and moral choice within the framework of his Universal god’s sovereignty. Mighty White of him to grant his Universal god these powers; such as grace – essential for salvation.
Interesting – Moshe’s Torah and the Oral Torah-Talmud defines the middah of grace as the dedication – through swearing a Torah oath – of some unspecified tohor middah, as the k’vanna of the tohor midda of Grace. For example the tohor middah of mercy which learns from the commandment to obliterate every man woman and child of Canaan, or to the commandment to slaughter the youth – stubborn and rebellious son, or the commandment to make eternal war upon the assimilated mix multitude of Jews who lack fear of Elohim, known as Amalek. Commonly known today as antisemitism etc. Clearly Calvin’s Protestant dogmatism, like Catholic dogmatism, upon this foundation stands the theology espoused by C.S. Lewis likewise rejects Oral Torah common law precedents, some of which – listed above, as the means to interpret the k’vanna of both tohor middot of grace and mercy!
Jacques GuillardMAJESTIC PURSUIT This Goy preaches his JeZeus syndrome bull shit. “””Let us recognize His ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over us.
He is worthy to have Glory, Honour and Power, because He created all things — yes, because of His will they were created and came into being!
YAHWEH is the ONE who made Heaven and Earth, the sea and the springs of water!
Let us bow before His throne and recognize that He is JUST and TRUE in all He has done, and WORSHIP HIM ALONE.
Let us bow our knees to the Father of our Teacher and Friend, the Hebrew and Jewish Messiah Yeshua who came to give his life for our sins (sin is a violation of the Torah) on the Roman execution-stake in PERFECT OBEDIENCE to his Father’s will and to teach us the true meaning of the Torah, to show us how to keep it, how to live it, with the help of the Set-apart Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh; to bring us into a LOVING, FOREVER RELATIONSHIP with YAHWEH, his Elohim and Father, to be GRAFTED, into the Yisra’ĕl Family, and to be YAHWEH’s people in Covenant with Him.
He OBEYED his Elohim and Father not because he had no choice in the matter, but because he loved Him.
He spoke and did according to all YAHWEH had commanded.
The Hebrew and Jewish Messiah Yeshua lived in TOTAL OBEDIENCE to YAHWEH, his Elohim and Father; in our union with him, let us do the same. ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________
In Jewish thought by stark and absolute total contrast, faith in God not some cult of personality personal or spiritual theological belief system; Torah faith deeply intertwined with ethical prophetic mussar, and social justice. The Torah obligations absolutely require the active pursuit of judicial common law justice through the Sanhedrin courtrooms. Principles of justice and fairness in all dealings, especially in legal matters define the Torah concept of faith.
The Torah mandates stong emphasis on the appointment of just judges, expected to act with integrity and impartiality. In Deuteronomy 16:18-20, the commandment to appoint judges and officers in all cities underscores the importance of justice: “You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.” This principle, echoed in the teachings of the sages, who stress that a corrupt judiciary undermines the very foundation of society and the time-oriented brit which forever and eternally creates the chosen Cohen people from nothing. Hezekiah’s actions seen as a common law precedent for Sanhedrin justices to pursue justice and righteousness, ensuring that their governance aligns with the values of the Torah through משנה תורה legislative review of all laws and decrees imposed by Government statute laws.
The presence of bribed judges and corrupt courtrooms leads to the Torah curse of societal decay and a loss of faith among the people; meaning Jews assimilate and embrace the culture and customs of foreign peoples. These aliens reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai and Horev. When judicial common law justice collapses, it creates a disconnect between the community and HaShem; failure to do and keep tohor time oriented commandments perverts the chosen cohen nation unto just another Av tuma Goyim people. The “converted” non Cohen-people, abandoned or betrayed by leaders equally abandon their faith – the obligation to pursue judicial justice among and between Jews. The prophetic T’NaCH literature often addresses the consequences of injustice, warning that societal ills can lead to divine judgment – Torah curses – like as happened to Par’o in Egypt in the days of Moshe and Aaron. This serves as a reminder that faith most essentially defined, not as Av tumah avoda zara which demand that a Goy believe in this or that theological creed God, but rather Torah faith lives only through pursuit of judicial common law courtroom judgements that promote justice and equity among and between our conflicting peoples.
This mussar tradition, it emphasizes the cultivation of personal virtues, including integrity, honesty, and a commitment to justice among our people. Prophetic mussar encourages the active pursuit of judicial common law justice to resolve our damages disputes between our people in all generations and all times. These T’NaCH/aggadic and midrashic teachings, they most essentually stress that true loyalty to the Torah brit faith involves far more than personal religious piety, like as promoted by the Shulkan Aruch. But, for more essential, to pursue an active participation in creating a just society, where the rights of all individuals Jews honor and respect and uphold by validating the rulings of the Sanhedrin common law lateral courtrooms.
The connection between faith in HaShem and the pursuit of justice, the fundamental theme in Torah thought, which most essentially defines the Torah concept of faith. The example of King Hezekiah, as Moshiach revolves around the rebuke of the prophet Natan to the house of David following the death of the baal of Bat Sheva. The Torah curse of Civil War to plague all generations of the House of David, over his profaning the oath dedication of Moshiach in the matter of the killed husband of Bat Sheva. Loyalty to the Torah Constitution most essentially manifests itself in ethical mussar behavior which remembers the rebuke that the prophet Natan cursed the House of David, specifically in the realm of justice over the criminal death of the baal of Bat Sheva. The integrity of the judicial system, which failed to hold king David to stand trial. Later the Talmud would acquit king David of murder. However, this Talmudic opinion does not change the fact that David, and his son Shlomo failed to establish the authority of the Sanhedrin Federal court system as the definition of building the Temple on Zion.
