How can Jews who reject Christ, and therefore reject God the Father as well, dedicate a temple to the one true God when they don't believe in Him?

John 5:23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

John 8:19 "Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."

John 15:23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
"Your house (not My house or God's house), but your house (the Jews' house) has been left unto you desolate. " God's house is a spiritual house and is the abode of the spirit of God. "Build Me a house that I may dwell among them". And that is what God has done.

I reject the premise that there are two second comings of Christ. The one you quoted, that's the only one. Same time as the resurrection. After the plagues. After the mark is enforced. After America pays homage to the Catholic papacy by forming the image. A political religious union of church and state which will bring American Protestantism to an end, and restore the pope to his mediaeval dream job.

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

I don’t think you’re understanding what the “daily sacrifice” and the “abomination of desolation” refer to.


This isn’t about Jewish sacrifices—whether in the first century (as Preterists argue) or a future third temple (as Premillennialists believe).


The “daily sacrifice” points to the ongoing work of salvation in the New Testament era when Christ being our high priest doing offering on our behalf. Once the full number of the elect is gathered (Revelation 7:1–4), that “sacrifice” ceases—no further salvation is added! At that point, Satan is released from the bottomless pit, bringing apostasy and desolation upon the Church, which becomes spiritually “Sodom and Egypt.” That is where the abomination that causes desolation is established—not in a physical temple, but within a corrupted Church - all over the world, wherever the frogs, I mean the false prophets and christs, are! All over the world, Gog and Magog! Think about it!

The 1,335 days points to the Last Day and the Second Coming, when we await the final redemption—resurrection and gathering of the saints.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Jesus warns, “Whoso readeth, let him understand,” showing this requires spiritual discernment, not surface-level assumptions.

Many assume the “abomination of desolation” refers to a future or past event in a physical Jewish temple. However, the New Testament consistently identifies God’s true dwelling place after the cross as His Church (Ephesians 2:19–22; Matthew 18:20; Colossians 2:9).

In that light, Jesus’ warning is directed to His people within the New Testament Congregation Church with "many are called but few are chosen". The “holy place” is not a physical location in Jerusalem, but the Church itself. The abomination of desolation is understood as occurring when apostasy and corruption take hold within that spiritual temple.

At that point, believers (Elect who have been sealed) are called to recognize their church has BECOME “Babylon the Great” (Revelation 18) and flee from a fallen because the judgment of God has come. Explain more below.

This is not about physical geography, but about spiritual reality. This is where many people have missed the point!
It is not known how big the statue image will be, but probably will be large to be visible from the surrounding hills in Jerusalem, like from Mount Sinai.

Not happening, sorry to say!
The statue image will become indwelt by Satan, making it appear to come to life and speak. Revelation 13:15.

The image indwelt with Satan? No no.... sigh. (taking deep breath...) Let read the verse and context:

Rev 13:15-17
(15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
(16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
(17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The question is simple: are we really supposed to imagine a literal statue that magically talks and executes people, forcing everyone to receive a physical mark in order to buy and sell clothing or cars. Come on. That reading stretches the text into something unrealistic and disconnected from the nature of apocalyptic prophecy.


The “image of the beast” is not a physical object—it represents a doctrine or authority that mirrors Satan’s rule. The “second beast” is a body of the false prophets and false christs operating within the visible churches all over the world, presenting themselves as spiritual authority while teaching deception. Their “power” is not in miracles of a statue, but in persuasive doctrine that appears spiritual while being opposed to Christ. Get it?!

When it says the image is “given life,” this refers to false teaching being energized and enforced within the congregation,
shaping belief and allegiance. In that way, it “speaks” through doctrine, decree, enterainment, etc. where people loves it. But it “kills” the faithful witness by silencing truth because they do not buy satanic doctrines out of false prophets and christs' mouth. When will this take place? Consider wisely:

Rev 11:7-8
(7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
(8) And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

This “killing” is not physical death of the elect, nor loss of their salvation, but the silencing of their testimony once God’s appointed witness is complete. Only God knows when the last Elect has been secured. When the great commission has fulfilled it purpose, opposition shall rises and truth is pushed out of the visible church that is now spiritually is like Egypt and Sodom for there are MANY frogs, lices, locusts, out there destroying God's crops - They are pictured as the fasle prophets and christs! They are coming with the spirit of the devils, lying and hateful spirit that many people of the congregaton seems to enjoy it and support it thinking all of this is part of their work for God. They give the false prophets and christs the places in their congregation as spiritual leaders because they like their doctrine better than faithful witnesses with Word of God!
Rev 18:2
(2) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Rev 9:4-6

(4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
(6) And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

This describes judgment within the fallen New Testament congregation - - where deception is allowed to spread as a form of judgment, and people are handed over to strong delusion when they reject truth. The “mark” represents their allegiance in one or both ways: the mind as a form as agreement (“forehead”) and doing the will of the devil (“right hand”) shaped by false doctrine and submission to that system! This is why they will not find salvation (death in Christ) this way!

The “abomination of desolation” is therefore seen when corruption and false teaching dominate what once appeared to be God’s people, turning the visible church into what Revelation symbolically calls Babylon!

The danger is missing the spiritual meaning while people like you only looking for a physical fulfillment in a rebuilt temple or geopolitical scenario with a certain man from Europe coming to Jerusalem to take sit in a temple. Come on! The warning is about discernment—recognizing deception where it actually operates, not where tradition assumes it must appear.

In Daniel 11:31, historically Anitochus IV placed a statue image of Zeus in the temple, which in that verse is referred to a the abomination that maketh desolate.

It was a preview that the end times abomination of desolation will be a statue image.

Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

More speculation and false interpretation. I recently post a length response. Read it.

The Jews presently don't understand the trinity.

But they do desire to worship and praise God as they currently understand God to be. The Jews refer to God as "Hashem".
That is meaningless. They do not desire to worship and praise the one true God. If they did they would believe in Jesus. You are just not getting it.

John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

John 15:23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

They can't possibly desire to worship and praise the one true God when they hate and deny Jesus Christ and God the Father. If they desired to worship and praise the one true God then they would believe in what Moses taught and also what Jesus taught.

Name me one person on this planet who understands the trinity.
For those who are uncomfortable with the tag 'trinity', I
No discomfort at all. God has chosen not to explain the Godhead, nor define it. It's clearly His business and not ours. And I'm not prepared to make supposition or presumptions. It is what it is.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

That's the trinity.

The present day Jews don't hate Jesus.

Rejection does not have to include hate.

It was only the Pharisees that sought Jesus's dearth.

Others chose a murderer instead of Jesus which is the same thing.

Then there is this:

Mat 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Mat 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Mat 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

The results of their transgression against Jesus, the Jews were taken into exile among the nations. That exile began to end when in 1948 a portion of the Jews returned to the land of Israel and founded the nation of Israel again in the land.

If we look at Ezekiel 39:23-24. we read Jesus stating that.

23And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

Do you understand that verse 23 means that God is going to bring back the Jews from being scattered into the nations? God took them out of captivity once before - when the Jews went into Babylonian captivity.

25Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

Curious…
What do you believe is the point of (Great) Tribulations being sent from Heaven to Earth?

Glory to God,
Taken
God will use that time to judge the nations of the earth and pour out his wrath:

Rv 6:16-17
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Thank you.

Yes…. Pour out his wrath upon the whole world and it’s inhabitants…
Little bit, by increase…
Because …
The inhabitants upon the Earth, Rejected Him.

(Nothing new…a replay of sorts, per Gods First Great Trib sent down from Heaven… to destroy.)

Gen 6:
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

So what happened to the Faithful (8), Noah, his family?

Were they left upon the face of the Earth, to suffer Gods wrath of Destruction?

Glory to God,
Taken

Is it then your opinion, since it's not clear to me here what your view is, that Rv 6:16-17 is involving great tribulation rather than the DOTL which followss great tribulation? In my view the 5th seal is what involves great tribulation, and that it involves satan's great wrath, and the 6th seal is the DOTL, the wrath of God when vengeance is then in full force. I don't know if you might agree with that or disagree with it. I can't tell from the little you wrote.

Wrongo! The third temple is not "critical for eschatology"; it is critical for your flawed dispensational/premillennialism. There is a difference!

The problem is that Scripture never plainly teaches the rebuilding of a third temple as an end-times necessity. The doctrine is treated as a certainty, yet its advocates cannot produce a verse that explicitly states it. Instead, they build an entire prophetic system on assumptions and then declare those assumptions to be biblical truth.

If your theology collapses without a third temple that Scripture never clearly predicts, perhaps the problem is not with Scripture but with the theology...and your charts! Yep!




The Bible does not teach that there will be a single end-times individual called "the Antichrist" who enters a future third temple and commits the abomination of desolation. That idea comes from modern premillennial speculation, not from the actual text of Scripture.

The term "antichrist" is used by John, and he explicitly states that many antichrists had already come (1 John 2:18), not one future world ruler. Furthermore, Paul's "man of sin," Daniel's "little horn," John's "beast," and John's "antichrist" are never identified as the same individual anywhere in Scripture. That connection is an assumption imposed on the text rather than something taught by it.

The claim that 2 Thessalonians 2:4 requires a future third temple is equally unsupported. Scripture never says a third temple must be rebuilt for this prophecy to be fulfilled. Such assertions are products of a particular prophetic system, not clear biblical teaching.

It is important to distinguish between what the Bible actually says and what later theological traditions have added to it.




"Abomination of desolation statue"? Where exactly does Daniel say anything about a statue being placed on the temple mount?

What you're doing is taking Daniel's "abomination of desolation" and John's "image of the beast" in Revelation 13, assuming they are the same event, then further assuming the image is a literal statue in a future temple courtyard. None of those connections are stated in the text. They are layers of interpretation piled on top of each other and then presented as if they were biblical facts.

This is a recurring problem with premillennial prophecy systems: speculation becomes doctrine. The Bible says "abomination of desolation." It does not say "statue." It does not say "temple courtyard." It does not say "Temple Mount." And it certainly does not explain Revelation's image of the beast as a statue standing in a future third temple.

Before making such dogmatic claims, it would be wise to show the actual verses that teach them rather than importing assumptions into the text and calling them prophecy.
