“The
chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus
so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many
testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.”
Mark
14:55
The earliest record of a
Sanhedrin is by Josephus — a Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and biographer
(37 – c. 100 CE) — who wrote of a political Sanhedrin convened by the Romans in
57 BCE. Hellenistic sources generally depict the Sanhedrin as a political and
judicial council headed by the country’s ruler. Tannaitic (rabbinic works
written from about 10 – 220 CE) sources describe the Great Sanhedrin as a
religious assembly of 71 sages who met in the Chamber of Hewn Stones in
the  Temple of Jerusalem. They constituted the supreme religious body in
the Land of Israel during that time and had their own equivalent of a police
force with powers to arrest people, as was the case with Jesus Christ. 

Though the Sanhedrin heard
both civil and criminal cases with authority to impose the death penalty,
during the New Testament period that authority was restricted to the Romans,
which was why Jesus was crucified — a Roman punishment — rather than being
stoned in accordance with Mosaic law which was given specifically to the nation
of Israel (Exodus 19; Leviticus 26:46; Romans 9:4). The law consisted of the
Ten Commandments, the ordinances, and the worship system, which included the
priesthood, the tabernacle, the offerings, and the festivals (Exodus 20—40;
Leviticus 1 – 7; 23).
The Sanhedrin’s last
binding decision in ancient times appeared in 358 CE with the adoption of the
Hebrew Calendar and their eventual dissolution was the consequence of continual
persecution by the Roman Empire and the aspirations of Christendom. Efforts to
reestablish the Sanhedrin, were initiated in 2004 in the form of a provisional
body awaiting integration into the Israeli government as both a supreme court
and upper house of the Knesset. Though the Israeli secular press regarded this
new body as an illegitimate fundamentalist organisation of rabbis, it
nonetheless claimed to enjoy recognition and support from the entire religious
Jewish community in Israel, and has stirred debate in both religious and
secularist circles. 
Since its reestablishment, the Sanhedrin has supported
the Temple Institute whose “ultimate goal is to see Israel rebuild the Holy
Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, in accord with the Biblical commandments.”
(https://www.templeinstitute.org)
Mount Moriah is in Judaism viewed as being identical with the Temple Mount of
Jerusalem — known in Arabic as Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary — which
unfortunately happens to be dominated by three monumental structures from the
early Umayyad period: the al-Aqsa
Mosque
, the Dome of the Rock and the Dome
of the Chain

In supporting the Temple Institute, the Sanhedrin has
called upon all groups working in the area of Temple Mount and in Temple
related activity/research to begin preparing detailed architectural plans for
the construction of the Holy Temple with a view to its establishment in its
proper place; had stated its intention to  establish a forum of architects
and engineers whose assignment would be to implement the Council’s decision, so
that detailed working plans could effectively be brought to an operational stage;
had asked the Jewish people to contribute towards
the acquisition of materials for the purpose of rebuilding the Holy Temple; had
suggested that the gathering and preparation of prefabricated, disassembled
portions of this building to be stored and ready for rapid assembly, in the
manner of King David; and had ruled that such contributions would be considered
as “chulin”  — that is non-sacred — for the purpose of the planning and
construction of the Temple.
So how is the building of this Third Temple to be
achieved on site that has been occupied by Islamic monuments for more than
1,300 years? Well, it is a long process which you initiate by exploiting the
“Holocaust” to blackmail, bribe, and bully the United nations into partitioning
Palestine for the creation of independent Arab and jewish states; you then
ignore the agreed to demarcation lines for such states and instead launch a
barbaric ethnic cleansing campaign against the indigenous Palestinians by
murdering thousands and causing some 750,000 more of them to flee their homes
in terror; you start a program of gradual illegal Jewish settlement building
and if anyone complains remind them of the “Holocaust” and accuse them of being
anti-Semitic; control the U.S. government so as to ensure it vetoes all U.N.
resolutions condemning your disregard for international law and crimes against
humanity, while simultaneously conning the American people into believing you
are a staunch ally and bulwark against Islamic extremism and therefore
deserving of billions of dollars in annual military aid; you illegally invade
and occupy East Jerusalem while declaring that a united Jerusalem is the
eternal capital of the Jewish people; you exploit archaeology and concocted
biblical narratives to deny Palestinian history and heritage so as to
de-Arabise Palestine; you use spurious excuses and laws to expel Palestinians
from areas around Temple Mount such as Silwan and replace them with Jewish
families (http://972mag.com/nine-more-jewish-families-take-over-silwan-homes-in-dead-of-night/97864/);
you build a park adjoining Silwan and claim it was where King David built a
city even though there is no historical evidence of his or his city’s
existence; you make periodic controversial and confrontational visits to the
Temple Mount that provoke riots and justify your excessive use of violence; you
allow provocative visits to Temple Mount by Jewish settlers protected by police
and the army while preventing Muslims accessing the holy sites; and in the not
too distant future you orchestrate a violent confrontation where live
ammunition and incendiary weapons are used so to cause fires that will destroy
the islamic monuments.
After that it will be easy-peasy to start removing the
debris from the destroyed buildings and start building your Temple.
Furthermore, you will get away with it because not only have you undermined
Western democracy by buying and controlling most Western governments and the
pathetic mainstream media with its presstitutes, but also because you are a God
chosen and long suffering people determined to ensure that ethnic cleansing
shall “never again” occur on this planet, unless of course it involves being
rid of those inhuman Palestinians whose land was promised to you by God
Himself.
