The Temple was destroyed in 70AD. That's historical fact. Jesus was asked when the Temple would be destroyed, Jesus answered in that generation. If you were standing there circa 30AD and asked Jesus when the Temple would be destroyed, and he said "in this generation", you would understand his plain language, that before you die, if you live a normal life, the Temple will be destroyed. It was destroyed in 70AD just as Jesus said! JUST AS JESUS SAID. Where is the Temple, now?A generation since the birth of the political state of Israel has already come and gone, but there's still no Temple. There's not even a Temple being planned (aside from silly rumors that circulate among right-wing Christians).Your theology doesn't come from the Bible. You have latched onto a new eschatology, one that didn't exist for most of the last 2000 years. You think the Temple will be rebuilt so that it can be destroyed. There's nothing in the Bible that mentions rebuilding. The mere idea is contrary to Christianity - how could the Temple of the Old Covenant be rebuilt? Jesus is our Temple. Anything else that someone would build would just be a pile of bricks blasphemously called the Temple of God - do you not agree? There are no children of Judah in Israel. The modern "Jew" is not a member of a race, but of an antichristian religion/brotherhood. You can join it, if you really want to. But, it's a big hassle to join. The biggest requirement is that you must take on the mantle of Antichrist and denounce Jesus as the Messiah, then you have to memorize a bunch of stuff and do some other things. But, once you're in, there is only one requirement, that you continue to reject Jesus (according to Jewish authorities, including the state of Israel, "messianic jew" is an oxymoron). There are no other requirements, not even of a nominal belief in God or of eating kosher food. Why am I telling you this? You already know that people can convert to "judaism" and become a Jew. You go from one mistake to another. Whatever Jews and Israel are, it's no justification for the conclusions you reach on other issues, like whether or not Iran is trying to build nuclear bombs or the propriety of a Church being given the deed to the land they own. Islam is not much of a threat to the US, and it would be much less of a threat than it is now if the US would stay out of the middle-east. Before the US supported Israel, most Americans didn't even know what a Muslims was.
Again your lack to understand even the basics is amazing and please dont assume what I believe you have no clue what I believe because that would mean understanding Gods Word instead of your own,and menLets see what God says 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive youSeems he doesnt what us listening to men but himuhm....doesnt say that generation it says when will ALL what was that ALL these things be fulfilled Now he goes on to give a list Now lets see are ALL these things fulfilled by 70 AD ???????? No I dont think the Gospel had yet been spread around the World.And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. No this hasnt happened yet 28Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: Now what could this mean. Now learn that sounds like an order from Christ uhm seems he is talking about knowing seasons/times kind of like a clock arent we told to know the season wonder what knowing the season and this an order to learn a parable about seasons could mean ?????? but hey you say they are All fulfilled 70 AD you must be right Darn I missed all those stars falling and the rest Or Or perhaps Christ was lying About ALL of them being fulfilled wonder why he told us not to listen to men, if he was going to lie to us.
