Of course Israel isn't living up to God's expectations for them. If they were they would turn to Jesus Christ as their Messiah. They would kick out all the Palestinians and muslims. They would destroy the dome of the rock and began rebuilding the Temple.

So Jesus would approve of kicking out all the Muslims and Palestinians? And to rebuild the temple!!!???? What particular aspect of the character of His Father leads you to believe that Jesus would expel all Palestinians and Muslims from Israel? Or expect anyone else to? But even more importantly, please explain the theology behind God's presumed desire to have Israel rebuild the temple. What would it be for?

Yes, and yes.

The same aspect of the Father that led Israel into Canaan to destroy the Canaanites and establish Israel in the first place.

Israel, and Jerusalem, and the Temple would be the location where Jesus Christ will rule and reign over the world in the Millennium. It would be the designated place where the Spirit of God will manifest Himself having established His Kingdom on earth.

No, Jesus will not be ruling from a man-made counterfeit built in honour of the God Who long ago declared their house as desolate. He will be ruling from a temple in heaven that will descend with the New Jerusalem ...one made without hands.

There are many passages of Scripture that prove otherwise concerning Israel having outlived their usefulness. Here is but one. (Jere. 31:35-36) "Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever."

The final Temple yet to be rebuilt on earth is the Temple for the Millennium. This occurs before the coming down of the New Jerusalem. See (Rev. 20:1-4) and (Rev. 20:7-10) and (Rev. 20:12) and (Rev:21:1-2). This is not a counterfeit Temple as it's directions are given by God in detail in (Eze. 40-47). See also (Eze. 39:25-29).

i would say the Temple was constructed bc the people wanted it, and i guess to establish the Law, God knowing already that It would fail, and the Temple would be torn down anyway? So in a sense, yes.

as the why Ezekiel's Temple is symbolic, understand that i cannot state definitely that it is, Jews certainly don't think so...while some other Jews do, i guess. So google could prolly help out there more than i could. i have read more than one good study that points out the relationship between E's Temple and the one we are called to build...it's more like a useful perspective, than trying to come to an irrevocable conclusion, ok, you'll note both povs in a google search. Many people are Zionists, after all right. Not a crime. Perhaps a bit too literal a pov though

Click to expand...

Of course no temple will contain God and He does not dwell in a temple. But He does make His presence known in an earthly temple in order to dwell with man.

It is God who ordered Moses to have the tabernacle built. (Ex. 25:8-9) "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it."

(Ex. 26:30) "And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount."

(Ex. 39:43) "And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold,they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them."

(Ex. 29:42-46) "This shall be a continual burnt -offering...at the door of the tabernacle of the Congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory....that I may dwell among them:...."

(Ex. 40:34) "Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.)

Now, the same is true with the temple of David. Or Solomon. God would not allow David to build it because he was a man-of-war. (1 Chron. 28:3) So his son Solomon would build it. (2 Samuel 7:13) "He shall build an house for my name,and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

Though Solomon would build it, it was to David that the blueprints or pattern was given by God to follow. (1 Chron. 28:10-12) "Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit...."

(1 Chron. 28:19) "All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern."

And God confirmed that He was pleased with the Temple. (2 Chron. 5:13-14) "...then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God."

(2 Chron. 7:1) "Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house."

Now at this time, the Church age, while Israel is set aside, the Church is the temple of God. It is where God manifests His presence on earth. (1 Cor. 3:16-17) "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God,him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy,which temple ye are."

And, just like God gave to Moses the blueprints for the Tabernacle, and God gave to David the blueprints for the Temple, so God gave to Paul the blue prints for the Church, the living Temple.

(1 Cor. 3:9-10) "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

When the Church, the living temple, is taken out at the Rapture, then there is need for another temple. And that there will be another temple is plain from (2 Thess. 2:3-4) "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. "

There must be a temple built for the anti-Christ to set himself up as God. This will be the temple during the Tribulation period.

In (Eze. 36-40) Ezekiel is prophesying of Israel's return to the land, the future invasion of Russia upon Palestine, and the millennial temple. And the glory of the LORD will again return to the temple of Israel. (Eze. 43:1-5) This temple measures as no other temple. Just as the other temples were literal and physical temples, including the Church, there is no reason to all of a sudden think this temple described by Ezekiel is symbolical or just figurative.

the argument goes that this is an explanation of a person setting themselves up as God in their own temple, the one they build, not necessarily some future event that has yet to occur. Something we all do, iow, a lesson most everyone needs to learn, phrased as a warning of something "to watch out for."

there are other passages indicating "watch out for" that also imply watching out with a single eye, not eyes; you get the idea i'm sure. And these are not necessarily like denials that Rapture is possible, understand, more like an alternate way to perceive Living Word, maybe?

Good post. Love those scriptures. Agree on all of the post until ( obviously for me) you mentioned the Church being Raptured out. I can't go there...but never mind, I can pretend for a moment that I agree with it. One of us is right and one wrong...we will yet see.
You said 'after the church has gone (somewhere)..there is need of another temple. Why? Who needs one? Not God, that is for sure.
According to the 'rapture' the church has gone..so why a temple?
Unless, as some believe, the Jews will rebuild the temple. As I first heard that in the 60's- "The doors are built and ready"... 50 years later..no new news...so I am doubtful. Yes, ... I could be wrong.
Personally I believe that the next temple is found at the end Revelation.

You wrote:- < And that there will be another temple is plain from (2 Thess. 2:3-4) "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, ( I think we are there now) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. "


I see no man of sin, except the rebellious heart. A heart that sits in the man's spirit ( temple) which should be the temple of only God...but the exalted man believing that he is his own god. Even the new agers believe that already.
Where the Jews fit in I am not sure at all. Paul talks about them being grafted back in...I hope that they are...for Abrahams and David's sake.
has not forgotten them for sure.

I believe God still has a veil over much of this...but, as He unfolds it, we will say.... "Oh, this is what that means.."

Anyway...that is where I am on some of these things...a lot of what some take as literal, I do not...I believe it is spiritual typology.
But I am not hard and fast on that...it is unwise to be dogmatic on things that we cannot prove either way.

God bless.....Helen..

Another temple is necessary because God is not done with Israel. Just as much as Christ coming to die for our sins was part of the plan of God, so also was His Son ruling in Jerusalem and Israel over the earth with a temple of God present.

As I have asked, if the Tabernacle was literal and real, and the Temple of Solomon was literal and real, and the Church as a temple is literal and real, why should the Millennial Temple be considered anything less?

The Jews are preparing for the building of the Temple. They don't have the liberty by there secular government to do so for fear of the muslim reaction. Time is really immaterial. That they will build it is certain.

Concerning the 'man of sin' being our sinning heart, yes we disagree. Well, 'that man of sin' 'the son of perdition' 'who opposeth' 'he as God' 'shewing himself'. I think you do an injustice to see this in anything other than a real person. Especially with the term 'son of perdition'. That term is only used twice in Scripture. Once with Judas in (John 17:12). And here in ( 2 thess. 2:3) with the man of sin.

God does not have a veil over your eyes. He does over Israels eyes at this time. He does however hide His Word throughout Scripture and expects us to dig it out. He won't unfold it if we are not pursuing it. (Pro. 25:2) "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter."

I understand. As the Lord leads.

Stranger: I know you are sincere in your prophetic writings although I do not agree with them. I have noticed that your basis for your prophecy concerning a new future temple, is based on God providing and promising it to Israel.

Do you then think that Jews are Israel, those that inhabit the political state of Israel?

I should do an OP on the Jews and Gentiles - are they real names in scripture or were they used to replace the true names for a sinister agenda? it might stir up a lot of folks, good for education and learning. Incidentally, I believe that question I just suggested, is true. And that also means Jews are not Israel.

I just wanted to know if you have studied the key player in your writings – Israel?

No, that is not the final verse. Israel shall be judged, yes. But then God shall restore her. Israel shall be the leading nation of the world where Jesus the Messiah will rule. Israel's promises were forever. If her forever is not true, then our promises of forever and eternal are not true either. (Hosea 3:4-5, 5:6) (Joel 3:118-20), (Amos 3:14-15, 9:9-10, 9:11-12, 9:14-15) (Micah 1:5, 4:1-5, 4:11-13, 7:7-20), etc. etc.
