Will there be or is there a need for a future Messianic temple age?
What is the Jewish belief in Moshiach or the Messiah?
One of the principles of Jewish faith enumerated by Maimonides is that one day there will arise a dynamic Jewish leader, a direct descendant of the Davidic dynasty, who will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, and gather Jews from all over the world and bring them back to the Land of Israel.
All the nations of the world will recognize Moshiach to be a world leader, and will accept his dominion. In the messianic era there will be world peace, no more wars nor famine, and, in general, a high standard of living.
All mankind will worship one God, and live a more spiritual and moral way of life. The Jewish nation will be preoccupied with learning Torah and fathoming its secrets.
The coming of Moshiach will complete God’s purpose in creation: for man to make an abode for God in the lower worlds—that is, to reveal the inherent spirituality in the material world.
Christians already know that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah but why was He rejected? .
There are two reasons why the Jews didn’t accept Jesus as the Messiah one being that they expected the Messiah to deliver them from human bondage and rule of Rome and set up a physical messianic temple kingdom in Jerusalem but what exactly is the messianic temple age or kingdom?
In Abrahamic religions , the Messianic Age is the future period of time on Earth in which the Messiah will reign and bring universal peace and brotherhood
, without any evil . Many believe that there will be such an age; some refer to it as the consummate " kingdom of God " or the " world to come ".
The other reason the Jews rejected Jesus is because He claimed to be God. The Jews don’t believe that the Messiah is God thus they didn't realize that the Messiah and God are one. The Jews are not looking for the Messiah to deliver them from their sins only to deliver them from human rule and bondage and set up the messianic kingdom but what Jesus did was far greater He being God paid the price by His sacrifice on the cross and saved them from their sins.
It wasn’t a blasphemy to claim to be the Messiah in Jesus’ day but it was blasphemy to claim to be God and this is the reason that the Pharisees sentenced Jesus to death when He claimed to be the Son of man from Daniel 7:13-14 during His trial thus claiming that He and the Father are one.
If Jesus already fulfilled the purpose for the sacrificial temple age through the cross is there really a need for a future messianic sacrificial temple age?
Why would God still impose a messianic temple age which only pointed to Jesus if Jesus already fulfilled its purpose?
This is the main reason why I don't believe in a future messianic thousand year temple age or even a future third temple as there is no need or purpose for it as it would only push the non believing Jews further away from Jesus.
