What is a Temple of God?
A Temple of God refers to Nyankopɔn ne Fie, which directly translates to “The House of God” or “God’s House.”
Who Can Build a Temple of God?
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, a human being cannot build a Holy Temple of God. Only one of the major spiritual entities deriving from the Most High God, RABBI, can build a Holy Temple of God. Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh emphasizes that a human being, created from the dirt or soil of the earth and not a spiritual entity, cannot build, nor will be entrusted with the task of building, a Holy Temple of God. Acts 17:24-25 states: 24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
What are the Major Spiritual Entities Belonging to the Most High God RABBI?
The major spiritual entities of the Most High God, RABBI, are:
- The Elijahs are the most powerful of all the spiritual entities belonging to the Most High God, RABBI. The Elijahs were not created but emerged directly from RABBI.
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, trillions of years ago, the Most High God RABBI was alone and commanded nine major spiritual entities to come out from within Himself. These entities were named the ELIJAHS, meaning Holy Spirit and Fire (ELI – fire, JAH – Holy Spirit).
Many years following the emergence of the Elijahs, the Most High God RABBI created three categories of Spirits:
- The Ɛtumfo are Mighty Spirits created by the Most High God, RABBI.
- The Ɛsunsum are Spirits, less powerful than the Ɛtumfo.
- The Abɔfo or Angels, are the least powerful among the major spiritual entities.
Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh teaches that the Most High God RABBI sent His messengers to the Earth in human form to fulfill various tasks. They were conceived and born of women, grew up among people, and worked with people while fulfilling God’s assigned tasks. According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, from the Elijahs, RABBI sent Jonah, John the Baptist, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. From the Ɛtumfo, the Most High God sent the Nazarenes, like Moses, Isaiah, and Jesus the Christ. From the Ɛsunsum, RABBI sent Solomon. From the Abɔfo, the Most High God sent Abraham and Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Unto Him).
How Many Temples of God are There?
There are three Holy Temples of God:
- The First Temple is the Holy Temple in Mecca, known as the Kaaba.
- The Second Temple is Solomon’s Temple located in Israel.
- The Third Temple is Nyankopɔn ne Fie in Ɛkumfi Otuam, in the Central Region of Ghana.
Spiritual Entities Who Built the Holy Temples of God
The First Temple
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the First Temple of God was originally built by the 9th Adam, a major spiritual entity. After the Most High God RABBI created the Earth, He sent ten Adams to take care of it. Each Adam was a major spiritual entity, spending 10,000 years on Earth before returning to Heaven. During the era of the 9th Adam, God instructed him to construct the Temple of God. Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh states that none of the Adams had descendants except the 10th Adam. The 10th Adam is the Biblical Adam in Genesis.
The Second Temple
The Second Temple of God was constructed by King Solomon, a major spiritual entity from the spiritual group, Ɛsunsum.
The Third Temple
The Third Temple of God was constructed by Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, an Elijah. Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh is one of the nine Elijahs, who is an extremely powerful spiritual entity who emerged directly from the Most High God RABBI after RABBI issued out a command for the nine major spiritual entities to come out of Him. As stated above, the Elijahs were not created.
Why Did God Want a Temple of God on Earth?
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the Most High God RABBI placed HELL fire underneath the earth. Because of this, any human being whose feet touched the earth will inevitably and ultimately sin. Even some of the Messengers of God who came to earth sinned due to this. Because of sin, a human being cannot go to Heaven. The Temple of God serves as a place where a person with sin can receive forgiveness. The Most High God says that whenever someone commits sin and goes to the Holy Temple of God, He will erase that sin for the person who has been forgiven to make Heaven after death.
Construction of the First, Second, and Third Temples
The First Temple
The First Temple of God was constructed by the 9th Adam. By the time the 10th Adam arrived on earth, the First Temple was already present. However, during the floods of Noah, the First Temple was partially destroyed because it was made of soil, making it susceptible to rain and floods. After the floods, God instructed Abraham to rebuild the First Temple. According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the Most High God RABBI used a beam of light (like a flashlight) shone from above to guide Abraham to the foundation of the Temple and instructed him to reconstruct it. Abraham, being from the Abɔfo (Angels), was blessed by RABBI to rebuild the Temple.
The Second Temple
The Second Temple of God was constructed by King Solomon, who hailed from the Ɛsunsum, making him appropriately suited to build the Temple.
The Third Temple
The Third Temple of God was constructed by Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, an Elijah. His status as a major spiritual entity enabled him to build the Temple of God.
Why Do We Need Three Temples of God?
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, there are three religions sanctioned by the Most High God RABBI: Judaism, Islam, and Asomdwee Ntonton Som. Judaism is based in present-day Israel, Islam is in Saudi Arabia, and Asomdwee Ntonton Som is found in Ghana. Each of these religions needs a Holy Temple for its adherents to seek forgiveness of sins.
After Abraham built the First Temple, he requested that God forgive the sins of anyone who followed him and made a pilgrimage to the temple. Koran 3:96 states: “Behold, the first House (of Prayer) established for mankind is the one at Bakkah: it is full of blessing and a center of guidance for the whole world.”
Unlike the First Temple, which has utility or benefit for every follower of Abraham, the Temple of Solomon has exclusive religious benefits for the Israelites due to Solomon’s prayer to God, asking the Temple to be a focal point for the forgiveness of sins for the Israelites. After Solomon constructed the Second Temple of God, he prayed to the Most High God, asking for the Temple to serve as a focal point for the forgiveness of the Israelites’ sins.
This prayer is recorded in 2 Chronicles 6:20-21: 20 “May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.”
God’s response to King Solomon’s prayer is found in 1 Kings 9:3:
3 “The LORD said to him: ‘I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.'”
Why is The Third Temple Built in Ghana?
The prophecy states that the Third Temple will be built in the center of the world. Ezekiel 5:5 says, “This is what the Lord GOD says: This is Jerusalem. I have put her at the center of the nations with countries all around her.” According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh,
“Jerusalem” refers to Nyankopɔn ne Fie, the dwelling place of God. Ghana is considered the center of the world, thereby fulfilling the prophecy by housing the Third Temple.
The Prophecy About Nyame Somafo Yawoh Building the Third Temple
There is a prophecy that the Elijah who comes during the end of days will be tasked with building the Third Temple of God. Isaiah 2:2 says, “In the last days, the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.” Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the Elijah and the End of Days Messiah, fulfilling this prophecy, has built the Third Temple and established a new religion called Asomdwee Ntonton Som. He received direct instructions from the Most High God RABBI about the specifics of the Temple, including its location, design, and building materials.
The Third Temple Will Be Bigger Than the First and Second Temples
The prophecy exists that the Third Temple will be bigger and more powerful than the first two temples. Haggai 2:9 states, “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” The Third Holy Temple in Ghana is larger than the first two temples. While the first two temples are 7 feet by 7 feet, the Third Temple is 9 feet by 9 feet.
Why is the Third Temple More Powerful Than the First Two Temples?
The Third Temple is more powerful than the first two because it was built by an Elijah, who is spiritually stronger than the spirits who built the first two temples. The first temple was constructed by a Prophet who emerged from angels. The second temple was constructed by a Messenger of God who emerged from the Ɛsunsum. The Third Temple was built by an Elijah, who is spiritually more powerful than an angel. According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the level of spiritual power in the first two temples is equivalent to 70, while power in the Third Temple is 100.
Circumambulation: Difference Between First Temple and Third Temple
Believers and worshippers of Asomdwee Ntonton Som circumambulate or go round the Third Temple nine (9) times. For the Kaaba, worshippers circumambulate round it seven (7) times. Worshippers do not circumambulate round the Temple of Solomon.
What Are the Benefits of Circumambulating Round the Temples?
Circumambulating the First Temple (Kaaba) and the Second Temple (Temple of Solomon) are for forgiveness of sins ONLY. The benefits of circumambulating round the Third Temple of God in Ɛkumfi Otuam are seven. These are: Forgiveness of sins, Healing of sickness(es), Childbirth, Progress in life, Success, Development and Progress in life, and Victory in contests.
What is the Source of the Spiritual Powers of the Temples of God?
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, in RABBI’s palace located in the 7th Highest Heaven, there is a mighty throne for the Most High God RABBI and 21 smaller thrones. Of the 21 thrones, the first 9 thrones belong to the Elijahs, each with a staff of iron affixed to it. The metal staff symbolizes the power and authority associated with the throne. Nyame Somafo Yawoh’s throne is the 7th among the 9 thrones of the Elijahs. On April 24, 2014, the staff of iron affixed to his throne descended to him on earth. He placed a replica of the staff in the Third Temple. The staff is the source of all the power in the Third Temple.
According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, there is a black stone on each of the thrones, from the 10th throne to the 21st throne. The black stone on the 20th throne was brought by Angel Gabriel and put in the First Temple. The stone on the 21st throne is the stone on which the Ten Commandments were written and given to Moses. It is this stone that is placed in Solomon’s Temple and is the source of power in that Temple.
Focusing Your Prayer on the Temples of God
Muslims are required to turn their faces towards the First Temple while saying their prayers.
Koran 2:150 states, “Wherever you are ˹O Prophet˺, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you ˹believers˺ are, face towards it, so that people will have no argument against you, except the wrongdoers among them. Do not fear them; fear Me, so that I may ˹continue to˺ perfect My favour upon you and so you may be ˹rightly˺ guided.” People who are followers of Judaism must direct their gaze towards Israel/The Temple of Solomon. Members of the Asomdwee Ntonton Som in Ghana must direct their gaze towards Otuam, where the Third Temple is located, during exaltation or recitals. Those reciting from outside Ghana should direct their gaze towards Ghana.
