Okay the building of a temple is not for those who have received Christ as their savior and are baptized....it is for the Jews who believe in prophesy that He will return and sit in His Holy Temple to reign....correct? They are working on it as we speak...the Jews are still expecting the Messiah to come for the 1st time.
I watched a tour of Jerusalem not to long ago and the guide was explaining the progress being made to complete it.
So I don't have any part of my salvation connected to what they are doing over there...I have already received Jesus...they haven't.
first part correct, for his temple is not made with, or by mortal hands. correct our Inheritance is in the Spirit. yes we can eat drink, (not for nourishment). but there is a whole new beginning for us . eyes has not see, nor ears has hear of the things God has in store for us. yes we'll walk, (yes we'll have legs... a new body), but are able to go and walk where on please. see Luke 24:39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have". and the Lord Jesus walked through a door that was closed where the disciples was gathered. never tied, don't have to sleep, ect....

just a glimps.

Well, it's obvious that you've been wrongly taught to create a whole other religion by destroying Scripture context, because none of what Apostle Paul taught negated the future return of our Lord Jesus to sit upon the literal throne of His father David, which is to take place on this earth...

Matt 25:31-34
31 When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:
32 And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, 'Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
KJV


If you do not believe that is to take place 'literally', then you do not really believe what is written in God's Holy Writ, and that is like trying to create a whole other religion out of The Bible.

Only confused how this is not the house of God cleansed but is said it is a future temple built by those where the vail remains?
Ephesians 4:12-13 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

“Come Ye blessed of My Father...” Matthew 5:3-6 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Even Paul spoke of the tabernacle to receive the house of God:
2 Corinthians 5:2-4 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: [3] If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. [4] For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

our house is in the Spirit. understand something, our bodies that are resurrected is not ethereal, as the Lord said, "behold my hands and my feet, it is I. for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have". yes flesh and bone, but not blood. it is the Spirit that give us this new LIFE.

Well here is why I sought understanding on it
1. The Gentiles were the first to receive salvation and it was to provoke the Jews to jealousy as written.

Yes, but that's not really the subject of the Rev.11:1-14 Scripture. One of the worst things we can do when studying God's Word is to pull a verse out of a chapter's context. Instead we have to follow the flow of the subject where the verse is written, and then we understand it in relation to that, and then can explain it in detail, and it will then always be in agreement with the flow of the chapter. So the context of the Rev.11:1-14 verses is what? A time just prior to Christ's 2nd coming on the 7th Trumpet. What kind of time on earth is that to be per our Lord Jesus and His Apostles per other Scripture? A time of "great tribulation". And that's the context of that Rev.11:1-14 section of verses. Greater detail is given though, the 42 months parallel. And actually the treading of the temple idea is from Daniel 8...

Dan 8:13
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

KJV


2. The temple is a place where people came for repentance of their sins...so why leave it out of the measuring at this time?

Hopefully, you began to grasp from the Dan.8 reference that those Gentiles of Rev.11:2 that tread the outer courts represent Satan's host and the deceived during the tribulation time. What did Apostle Paul warn in 2 Thess.2:4 that the coming Antichrist would do in Jerusalem at the end of this world? He's coming to play God, sitting in a literal temple there, and per Daniel sacrifices are to start up again there at the end. The Antichrist after the first period of 42 months will then end those sacrifices and instead place an abomination idol in false worship in Jerusalem. At that point the latter 42 months of the Dan.9:27 "one week" will begin, and that is the time of "great tribulation" our Lord Jesus was warning us about in Matthew 24 and Mark 13.


3. Are the Gentiles mentioned here different from the ones who received salvation first?

Those Gentiles of Rev.11:1 do not... represent Christ's Church of faithful believers who wait for Him. They represent the Antichrist's armies that will surround Jerusalem at the very end of this world. It is the holy city they tread per that Rev.11:2 verse. The idea that the "temple of God" per 2 Thess.2:4 means a spiritual temple is a false doctrine from men. Paul was talking about a literal physical temple the orthodox Jews will be allowed to build for the very end (which is the Daniel alignment). The Antichrist will come to play Messiah in it. That is what we as disciples of Christ Jesus are to be aware of for the end just before His return to gather us.

4. Is there another meaning to Gentile?

No. It's not about race or anything like that. It's simply about Christ's enemies, and the deceived who follow them. When the Antichrist appears in Jerusalem for the end, it is written that he will have power over all nations and peoples. So when God's two witnesses show up there also, prophesying against Antichrist and his world beast kingdom, he and the nations aren't going to like it, especially when the two witnesses cause all sorts of plagues as written there in Rev.11. This is why in Rev.11:10 tells us that when the two witnesses are killed, the nations will rejoice at their deaths, and send gifts to each other. That simply reveals how deceived the nations will be by the Antichrist and his beast kingdom.

5. What is significant about the trampling under their feet...


It's link with Daniel 8:12-14 shows what timing that is, i.e., the event of the "abomination of desolation" in Jerusalem for the end of this world.

So that is the reason I started this thread....to study this in depth...and Revelation is a complex study...hardly any of it is literal...most of it is symbolic...IMHO.

Well, sorry to say, but much of our Lord's Book of Revelation is very literal, even though there is much symbology used. Symbols are used to point to something very literal. The problem I see with many brethren is a lack of study in all of God's Word which is required before our Lord will open up His Revelation to one's understanding. He has to bless us also by The Holy Spirit according to our faith on Him and His Word too.

The OT Books of God's prophets are written in a very similar manner to Revelation. Even in certain Isaiah chapters some scholars call 'the Apocalypse of Isaiah', simply because it follows the same events given in Revelation for the end of this world. How we gonna' know about that if we don't study it first? Scripture context in the prophets can change subject very quickly, even within a single verse at times. Revelation does this too. There's even some men who claim a pagan wrote the Book of Revelation, simply because of their lack of understanding the method God used through His OT prophets to write by The Holy Spirit. They use the lame excuse that it's because Revelation is written so much differently than the rest of the New Testament Books. In reality, it shows they have not studied the Old Testament Books. When the new babe tries to jump into Revelation without previous study of all of God's Word, no wonder they suffer a shock at not being able to understand it. Thing is, our Lord has opened up His Revelation to all believers on Him today. However, we don't start off study of complex AC circuits when beginning a study in electronics either. No different with God's Word; we are to start at Genesis and work our way all the way through Revelation.

Ephesians 4:12-13 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

“Come Ye blessed of My Father...” Matthew 5:3-6 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Even Paul spoke of the tabernacle to receive the house of God:
2 Corinthians 5:2-4 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: [3] If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. [4] For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

I didn't write the Ezekiel 40 thru 47 Chapters which reveal the future Millennial time involving a literal sanctuary on earth with the manifesting of God's River and the tree of life. You will have to wait until our Lord Jesus returns to understand that if you have trouble believing it as written. But for me, I choose to believe it as written, and in parallel to Revelation 22 where it is also shown for after Christ's return.

Now if you're going to use the idea that our Lord Jesus became the one and final sacrifice for sin for one and all time, I agree. So don't ask me to explain why sacrifices are mentioned in those Ezekiel Millennial Chapters for that future time, I don't know for sure they are literal. I actually believe they won't be, but are only 'representantive' of our love sacrifice Paul spoke of, since Jesus already died on the cross for the remission of sin.

However, none of that is an excuse to create a false salvation up in the sky when God's Word shows it will happen on a new earth. Granted that His heavenly Cube will reach into the heavens, but Christ's future kingdom will definitely be at Jerusalem on earth at the seat. In that future time, the heavenly dimension is going to be revealed right here, on earth. Both dimensions actually joined together, just as the angels of OT times could walk and live upon the earth and eat our food, etc., (see Genesis 18 & 19).

Thusly, there will be a future "thousand years" literal reign by our Lord Jesus and His elect upon this earth, over all nations, and that begins at His future return. But it definitely is not... of this present world.

most people are looking for a third temple. but many forgot what the Lord Jesus said to the woman of Samaria at the well, lets hear what the Lord said about a temple in Jerusalem.
John 4:19 "The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

John 4:20 "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. (HOLD THAT THOUGHT).

John 4:21 "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. (BINGO, THERE IT IS PLAIN AS DAY, "NEITHER AT JERUSALEM")

John 4:22 "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

John 4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:25 "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

John 4:26 "Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

well worship at a temple at Jerusalem is OUT, and it been out for over 2,000 years and counting, for our Lord said in verse 23, "and now is". well they can build a third temple all day long, only in vain.

with the manifesting of God's River


John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.


John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Let me mak a crude example of what I'm saying. please this is only a crude example.
Matthew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


niow, 1 Peter 2:5 "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

What do a city consist of? Building, and houses, correct. Well a city without building is a empty city, as with a house, a house is not a home without people.

Let’s give the example. “if I was to ask you where is the UNITED NATIONS? Many would say New York City… get it CITY. And you would be wrong. No, the building in the “City” of New York only “HOUSE” the United Nation. For the building itself is not the united Nation, but the People that come to the building is the United Nations.

I know that this is a crude example, but this is the best I have to offer.

Revelation 21:9 "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Revelation 21:10 "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Revelation 21:11 "Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;



Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Revelation 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (as, as, as, a bride)

Revelation 21:3 "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:5 "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Revelation 21:7 "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


A re-reading of this post may be nesseary to grasp the whole object of the post.

Isaiah 25:7-8 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. [8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

the vail ...which is done away with in Christ... “for the former things have passed away” Revelation 21:4 says when the vail is removed and “therefore ...he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

—the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord has spoken it.

yes, the ignorance of Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:12 "Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

2 Corinthians 3:13 "And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

2 Corinthians 3:14 "But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:15 "But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

2 Corinthians 3:16 "Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.


for this was foretold by the prophet,
Isaiah 6:9 "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Isaiah 6:10 "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Isaiah 6:11 "Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

Isaiah 6:12 "And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

and that vail, or the cover of the eyes, is now removed in Christ, Christ is the HOLY SPIRIT who reveals the things of God.
Isaiah 29:9 "Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

Isaiah 29:10 "For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Isaiah 29:11 "And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

Isaiah 29:12 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

the Son of Man is not trodden under anyone's feet,

questions. How does that fit with if you do it unto one of the least of these you do it as unto Me or Acts 22:7-8 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [8] And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?


yes if you loose your saviour, (jesus the Christ), yes, thenceforth good for nothing, no regard, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. THIS IS WHAT i LOVE, listen Matthew 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid". understand JBF if your light go out you can be rekindle... :D ain't God good. you cannot loose with God.

You said: If you loose your Saviour (Jesus the Christ), yes, Thenceforth good for nothing, no regard, but to Be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

In all context it is losing this world not losing Jesus Christ. “Forsaking all”
Luke 14:33-35 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. [34] Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? [35] It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Psalm 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

Matthew 5:10-13 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

not sure how you are saying it is losing Jesus Christ and therefore good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot when He said “rejoice” “forsaking all” “when men revile you”

1 Thessalonians 3:3-4 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. [4] For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

did someone trample the son of man? no, just as the body of christ, if one hurts all hurt. that's the interconnection each have with one another. as if you hear the apostle whom Jesus sent then you're hearing the Lord Jesus.
You said: If you loose your Saviour (Jesus the Christ), yes, Thenceforth good for nothing, no regard, but to Be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men
the keyword, if "U", for without the SAVIOUR you can do nothing. see the parable of the true vine.
In all context it is losing this world not losing Jesus Christ. “Forsaking all”

can you do that without the Lord Jesus?
Matthew 5:10-13 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
you cannot do anything without the Lord Jesus. yes salt is good, as long as it is salt.
not sure how you are saying it is losing Jesus Christ and therefore good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot when He said “rejoice” “forsaking all” “when men revile you”
lets let the scriptures speak,
John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

John 15:2 "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

John 15:3 "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.


Romans 11:18 "Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

so if there is savor/Saviour then there is nothing.

1 Thessalonians 3:3-4 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. [4] For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
2 Timothy 3:10 "But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

2 Timothy 3:11 "Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

2 Timothy 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2 Timothy 3:13 "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:14 "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2 Timothy 3:15 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

did someone trample the son of man? no, just as the body of christ, if one hurts all hurt. that's the interconnection each have with one another. as if you hear the apostle whom Jesus sent then you're hearing the Lord Jesus.

the keyword, if "U", for without the SAVIOUR you can do nothing. see the parable of the true vine.

can you do that without the Lord Jesus?

agree. We can do nothing without Him. That there about the casting out and salt losing its savour is confusing to me. Thank you for the clarification although it is still not clear to me. Get what you are saying about abiding and fruit of the Spirit. John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

This not so clear: John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Jude 1:22-23 And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

do we cast them in the fire or pull them out? Luke 9:54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

do we cast them in the fire or pull them out?
we cain't cast our ownself in or out of any fire. God is a God of MERCY. his desire is that all men to be saved.
Micah 6:8 "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? BINGO, what else need to be said, and note, this is OT........ (smile).

Mark 9:21-24 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. [22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. [23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. [24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Revelation 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:5 "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful

My question would be, how many times is God going to make the new things new?

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
