So either you fail to read the many Prophesies that tell us there will again be a new Temple, in which there will be made sacrifices and offerings, or you are saying to God: Sorry God, old fella; you can't have what you require, as jeffweeder and his buddies, won't allow it.
The basic problem is the blindness of people who simply cannot see how the incredible Promises of God to His faithful Christian peoples, will result in the formation of a new nation, in all of the holy Land. As Isaiah 62:1-12, so beautifully describes.
God WILL have what He always wanted: A people who have freely chosen to believe in Him, who accept the Salvation of Jesus and who keep His Commandments. THEY will be His witnesses and His light to the nations. John 15:27, Matthew 5:14-16
You're ignoring the New Testament that proves the new Temple has already come. Christ is the new Temple you are still looking for. You continue to deny what is written and continue to look for a physical temple on this earth.
John 2:19-21 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
Christ is the new Temple, and believers enter the new Temple when we partake of Him, His resurrection life.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Since by His coming Christ has fulfilled all the sacrificial and ceremonial Law. When believers partake of Him, the sacrificial and ceremonial Law is fulfilled for the people through Christ already. Why do you continue to look for physical fulfillment of the things that have already been fulfilled through the sacrificial blood of Christ?
Matthew 5:17 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy
the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Hebrews 10:1-13 (KJV) For
the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said,
Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
The problem is NOT that people who disagree with your doctrine are blind. The problem is with your vision, not ours. You cannot see the incredible promise of Christ is to give eternal life to all who believe. Even if a physical temple were to be built again on this earth, and the old sacrificial and ceremonial system returned, it would not give eternal life. All the Old Covenant Prophets write of the promised Messiah who would come to make them clean and give them eternal life.
You are correct. God will have His way, and all who willingly turn to Christ for life in this age of the Gospel will be saved by grace through faith, and not one of them will be eternally lost. And when this age has ended with the return of Christ, there won't be more time on this earth for reinstating the Old Covenant way of life and obedience to the Law that never had the power to cleanse man's conscience guilt eternally.
