Only a very small believing remnant is interested in pursing following godly lifestyles.  Great works of faith on behalf of God's causes almost always seem to result from the brave efforts of small numbers of men and women faith who risk everything.  The Second Jewish Temple was built under circumstances of violent opposition — both from the external foes of the God of Israel and also from within the Jewish community in Jerusalem.

It is surly a very tall order these days to love one’s numerous Muslim enemies who are bent on the total annihilation of all the Jews?
