Third temple

venge
Some see things like this as "peace and safety" and therefore once this does actually happen, then sudden destruction. While I can see your reason for not wanting unrighteous relations and unity with false gods, it is also expected as prophesied and therefore shows us another event pointing to the soon return of Christ, which is exciting.

venge we as Christians should not be excited about the temple itself per se. Our excitement should be in that it is possible the temple in Jerusalem, (not UAE as noted at the outset of the video where he does call it a prototype) will be built which will likely be the site of the fulfillment of Matt 24:15. Right at the 8 minute mark he does state "this is all pointing to the soon return of Jesus Christ!"

Not sure if you missed that or didnt listen to that point of the video, but to me its clear the intent of the video is to discuss the temple possibility but the excitement is in the return of the King. Hopefully others listening to this catch the main emphasis

Mike, I think you nailed it in your overview. The 3rd temple is not even for us as Christians. Many Christians, across denominational lines, all over the world believe we will be gone anyway. But just for kicks, let's pretend that we are here for the first half of the 70th week. It's still not for us - We won't see Christians going to the temple to worship.
It's the same for this other multi-faith temple, that he talks about in the video. To Christians, this is not only insulting, it's idolatry, and even to many Jews is blasphemy.
We know that we are the temple.

Here's another way of saying it that I think will make more sense, to anyone who seems to be confused as to why Christians get excited about the temple.
    - I hate Halloween, and we don't celebrate it. It's roots are demonic and well-documented to have clear occultic ties, even today. 
But it's like JD Farag says,  each year, we see Christmas and Resurrection being more and more commercialized, and we see the stuff going out earlier and earlier.  Now, it's being put out before Halloween even is done.  
So when we see Christmas stuff being put out, beside the Halloween junk, and it's the end of October, we know that Christmas is that much closer.  
So it's the same with the excitement of the red heifer and the 3rd temple. 


Just as the tribulation is for the Jews, - so the temple is for them, and it's important to keep in mind that though their eyes are blinded, it's only for a time, - because we are in the time of the Gentiles - the Church age, but the veil will be lifted and all of Israel will be restored and come to Christ.
This in itself - is proof that Israel and the Church are totally separate and distinct.

If the Church replaced Israel, or is Israel, then it makes no sense that the Church, who is already the body of Christ, then comes to Christ, in the tribulation.   
Regardless of whether one supports the 3rd temple construction, or is excited about what it points to, [as he says in the video] or is vehemently opposed to it, it was God's temple, and Christ referred to it as such, His Father's house.   

There will be a 4th temple, which will be built by Christ himself in the millennial reign, and we will have sacrifices, and all nations of the earth, Jew and Gentile will keep Feast of Booths - Sukkot, in the Millennium.    

The temple is not an abomination, or else God wouldn't rebuild it and use in in the 1000 year millennial kingdom.  The abomination is the one declaring himself to be God - The Anti-Christ. 

There's some great information in an article on Israel's 3rd and 4th Temples. 

www.templemount.org/TM34.html
- " The regathering of the Jewish people to their homeland in our time (as predicted for example in Ezekiel 37) is being accompanied by a rapidly accelerating religious consciousness in Israel, the awakening of ancient longings and aspirations and the rediscovery of many immutable promises God has made to the chosen seed of Abraham. The fact that a Third Temple is to be built can be shown from the Tanach , [Old Testament]  three passages in the New Testament also refer to such a building not now in existence as of this writing in 1996 AD. Many Christians have thus speculated in recent years about when the Third Temple would be built. This is considered by many to be an important milestone pointing to the end of the age.
- Jesus spoke of the Third Temple building in Jerusalem when discussing with his disciples the chain of events that would bring the close of the present age and his return. He spoke of an event yet future predicted by Daniel the prophet when the temple in Jerusalem would suffer ultimate defilement by a false Messiah who claimed to be God:



    "So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be." (Matthew 24:15-21)



Since only a properly consecrated temple can be defiled, this passage implies a functioning, dedicated Third Temple and priesthood in existence in the end time at the time Jesus said he would return.       The apostle Paul, writing a few years later, describes this same event:



"Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God," (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4).


Finally, the existence of the Third Temple in Jerusalem at the close of the age is confirmed by the aged apostle John when he recorded the Book of the Revelation:



"Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told 'Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months."' (Revelation 11:1-2)

- Since orthodox Christians hold to a literal, physical return of Jesus, the construction of the Fourth Temple, they believe, would thus be the responsibility of their Lord, whom they believe to be Yeshua HaMaschiah. This temple may well be that seen by Ezekiel (ca. 570 BC) in a vision. A temple that matches his description has never yet been built. Moreover, the Fourth Temple will evidently not be built at Jerusalem but possibly at Shiloh, some 31 km to the North:


"And to the prince shall belong the land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east, corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the eastern boundary of the land. It is to be his property in Israel. And my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall let the house of Israel have the land according to their tribes." (Ezekiel 45:1-8.)


According to many Bible scholars, the fourth or "millennial temple" (Ezekiel 40-45), will be memorial, a teaching center to instruct men about the holiness of God and proper worship. As sinful men and women continue to be born into the world in the Millennium the temple is supposed to remind everyone of the substitionary death of Jesus on the cross, as the "Lamb of God," some two thousand years earlier."  

It's really odd that without exception- 100% of the Christians who insist that the feasts are not for us, and that the 3rd temple is terrible - all plan on being here in the 1000 year millennial reign - the period when Christ rebuilds the 4th temple and we all celebrate Feast of Booths, every year for 1000 years. 

Maranatha -- exciting times, brothers and sisters 

D4L - I understand what you mean here...And I am assuming when you say "Christians" you mean the faithful, those committed to Him and His Word regardless of the pressures of society.

However do you think that there will be some, perhaps even many who say they are "Christian" but will say "this is great thing" or "finally, peace will come" or will even worship along side the other religions? I think we are already seeing signs of this but wonder if anyone does.

And brother - for the record, I'm not pretending!

FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2ND TEMPLE: HIGH PRIESTS VETTED FOR ACCESS TO PRAYER BY TEMPLE MT: www.israel365news.com/188899/for-first-time-since-2nd-temple-high-priests-vetted-for-access-to-prayer-by-temple-mt/

Hello fellow watchers.
Guys this is bigger than huge!!
It's a game changer. Just to put this in perspective, this has not happened in 2000 years- since 30 AD when Christ was crucified.

High ranking Jewish scholars and Rabbis rarely agree on anything, but they agree that the 3rd temple and the red heifer are ideal, but not absolute requirements in order to do the sacrifices.

This week, they did a full rehearsal of the daily lamb sacrifice- and it is this sacrifice that the AC stops.
***He can't stop them until they have been started.



If this isn't a sign we are on the cusp of the rapture- nothing is a sign.

Maranatha!!
