Operation Temple Mount

A Father’s Day Vision and Prayer Briefing for Jerusalem

Exactly one year ago, on Father’s Day, June 15, 2025, I received a vision that I have carried carefully before the Lord.

Until now, I have only shared it with our International Zoom Room family. Today, on Father’s Day, one year later, I believe the Holy Spirit has released me to publish it.

I share this with humility, reverence, and prayer. This is not about me. This is not about a document. This is about Jesus, His Kingdom, His heart for Jerusalem, and His desire for people to receive His faith, His truth, and His love.

As always, I encourage every reader to test all things, hold fast what is good, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Vision

On Sunday, June 15, 2025, Pastor Franklin shared a powerful message called “Guard The Treasure.” It stirred me deeply, so I listened to both services.

After church, I spent the day at my sister’s house celebrating the fathers in our family. Later that evening, when I returned home and settled at my desk, I anointed myself with oil, prayed in the Spirit, and asked the Holy Spirit for direction on how to spend the rest of the day.

As I was shuffling through projects, I heard the Lord calling from what seemed to be all around me, but mostly from outside.

I knew it was the Lord, but I heard Him in Pastor Franklin’s voice. He was beckoning me to come outside and pray with Him.

I heard Him say:

“Would you do it? Will you come outside and pray with Me? Will you join Me in prayer for a little while? Will you tarry with Me? Come, son. Come.”

It sounded like it was echoing everywhere.

I felt like all I needed to do was stand up, and His Spirit would guide me. So I did. As soon as I stood, I heard Him say:

“Bring your anointing oil.”

So I grabbed it and started walking.

As soon as I was under the open sky, I heard Him instruct me to anoint myself with oil and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with precious tongues of fire. So I did.

Then He told me to step out to the railing. And I did.

Then I heard Him say:

“I want you to pray for the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple.”

And then:

“I want you to pray with fervor.”

So I stretched out my hands and began to pray in the Spirit. As I prayed, I saw a vision of construction taking place at the Temple Mount. There were many different-looking people, but they were all working together. There was music and singing.

As I continued praying in the Spirit, I heard Him say:

“That’s enough for now.”

On my way back inside, I heard Him say:

“Give this to Brother Bob. He’ll know what to do with it.”

I immediately shared the message with Brother Bob, who has become like a spiritual grandfather to me. He leapt for joy because he said the Holy Spirit had been instructing him in the same direction. At the very same time I was encountering the Lord, he had been studying the rebuilding of the temple through Zechariah 4.

That got my attention.

The Father’s Day Witness

I do not believe it was accidental that this vision came on Father’s Day.

The assignment is not rooted in fear, politics, or speculation. It is rooted in the Father’s heart.

The Lord is restoring worship to Himself. He is rebuilding what has been broken. He is preparing a holy dwelling place, both in Jerusalem and in the hearts of His people.

This is the Father’s desire: that His house would be restored, His worship would be purified, and His children would return to Him in spirit and in truth.

The Confirmation

A few days later, on June 21st, during our Free Chapel International Zoom Room meeting, Brother Bob shared a teaching that helped bring clarity to the vision.

He explained that the call to rebuild the Temple has multiple layers. There is the prophetic significance of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, and there is also the personal and spiritual reality that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

Before we pray about rebuilding outwardly, we must allow the Lord to rebuild inwardly.

The work of rebuilding cannot be accomplished by human strength, human ambition, or human striving. It must be done by the Spirit of God.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,”
says the Lord of hosts.
— Zechariah 4:6

This is not simply a prayer target.

It is an invitation to partner with the Holy Spirit.

The Biblical Pattern: Rebuilding Worship

The vision began to come into sharper focus through Zechariah 4.

The Lord showed Zechariah a lampstand with seven lamps, the eyes of the Lord, and a plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then the word of the Lord came:

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,”
says the Lord of hosts.
— Zechariah 4:6

The rebuilding of the temple was not merely about construction.

It was about the restoration of worship.

The enemy’s strategy has always been to corrupt worship, interrupt worship, and defile what God has set apart as holy. When the temple was destroyed and the people were taken into captivity, worship in Jerusalem was interrupted. But after the season of chastening, the Lord began restoring what had been broken.

Zerubbabel laid the foundation, but opposition rose against the work. For years, the rebuilding was resisted. Then the Lord released prophetic revelation through Zechariah: the work would not be finished by human strength, human ambition, or human striving. It would be completed by the Spirit of God.

This is the pattern.

The Lord rebuilds His temple by His Spirit.

He restores worship by His Spirit.

He establishes holiness by His Spirit.

And He finishes what He begins, not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.

The Inward Rebuilding

This vision is not only about Jerusalem. It is also about us.

The New Testament teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Before we pray for anything to be rebuilt outwardly, we must allow the Holy Spirit to rebuild inwardly.

The same enemy who resists the restoration of worship in Jerusalem also resists the restoration of worship in the human heart. He works through fear, accusation, moral compromise, pride, unbelief, and the old patterns of the flesh.

But the Holy Spirit is bringing about a holy exchange.

The old nature must be displaced by the divine nature. The rubble must be cleared. The inner life must be rebuilt. The mind must be renewed. The temple must be made holy again.

This is why the Seven Spirits of God matter.

The Spirit of the Lord rests upon the work. The Spirit of Wisdom builds. The Spirit of Understanding brings clarity. The Spirit of Counsel gives strategy. The Spirit of Might strengthens faith. The Spirit of Knowledge reveals the love of Christ. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord keeps the temple holy.

This is not only a prayer assignment.

It is an invitation to be rebuilt by the Holy Spirit.

The Same-Day Witness

Later that same day, after our Zoom meeting, my dad sent me a video Jonathan Cahn had posted during our meeting, about one hour after we began. The message focused on the Temple Mount, the purposes of God, end-time prophecy, and the spiritual battle over the place where God has chosen to establish His name.

What stood out to me was not only the subject matter, but the timing. While we were gathered, processing this vision and prayer assignment, a public prophetic message was released emphasizing the spiritual significance of the Temple Mount.

I do not share this as a replacement for Scripture, but as another confirmation that this prayer assignment should be handled with reverence, humility, and discernment.

You can watch his message here if you would like to come back to it later:

The Dragon, the Temple Mount, and the Ground Zero of End-Time Prophecy

Rules of Engagement

Because this message involves Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and spiritual warfare, I want to be very clear.

This is not a call to hatred, hostility, political anger, or earthly violence.

People are not the enemy.

Our battle is not against flesh and blood. Our warfare is spiritual. Our posture is love. Our authority is Jesus. Our assignment is prayer.

We are praying for hearts to be prepared. We are praying for veils to be removed. We are praying for strongholds to break. We are praying for Jewish people, Muslim people, and every person the Father is calling to Himself to receive the truth, love, and fullness of Jesus Christ.

The mission is not destruction of people.

The mission is intercession for salvation, deliverance, restoration, and the fulfillment of God’s will:

“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
— Luke 2:14

This is the posture of Heaven: glory to God, peace on earth, and goodwill toward people.

The Assignment

When I asked my spiritual grandfather, Brother Bob, to help write a corporate prayer, he pointed us back to Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3.

The prayer is directed to the Father, in the name of Jesus, asking that the Holy Spirit would strengthen hearts with the Spirit of Might, that Christ would dwell in them through faith, and that the Spirit of Knowledge would reveal the love of Christ.

This is not a prayer to violate anyone’s free will. It is a prayer for the soil of the heart to be prepared so that when the Word of Truth is received, faith and truth may produce believing.

This is the heart of Operation Temple Mount.

We are not spectators of end-time prophecy; we are participants in God’s unfolding plan.

The key is faith-filled agreement, rooted in Scripture and led by the Spirit.

We are not just praying for revival.

We are praying for worship to be restored, holiness to be reestablished, and the Temple of the Lord to be rebuilt according to His Word, His will, His wisdom, His holiness, His timing, and His glory.

Not by might. Not by power. But by His Spirit.

Operation Temple Mount

The mission briefing below was created as a prayer tool for intercessors. It is designed to be read, prayed, printed, shared, and used as a point of agreement.

The style is intentional. It is presented as a declassified mission briefing because this assignment was carried privately for a season, but now I believe it is being released for intercession.

Strengthen them with power in their inner being by the Holy Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith.

Prepare the soil of their hearts, Lord, not violating their free will, but making ready the ground for Your Word to take root. Awaken in them a supernatural faith to believe, and send Your laborers into the harvest.

Let the Spirit of Knowledge flood their understanding, that they may know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, and be filled with all the fullness of God.

We come into agreement with Your will, and we speak it forth by faith: that the Temple of the Lord, the Third Temple, will be rebuilt in the order, beauty, and splendor You entrusted through David and Solomon. Let every detail be submitted to Your Word, Your wisdom, Your holiness, Your timing, and Your glory.

Release the Host of Heaven, O God. Destroy every spiritual enemy and stronghold that has prevented Your truth, Your love, and Your promises from being received in Jerusalem.

Not by might, nor by power,
but by Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
