Hi Marylin,
It is you that is in quite a muddle. Bible prophecy makes it clear that the new Temple will be built before Jesus Returns. The AC will sit in it and declare himself to be god. 2 Thessalonians 2:4, + many other prophesies. Nothing is built yet, but will be soon.
No one goes to heaven, Jesus said so; John 3:13, John 17:15, John 7:34, John 8:21-23, Revelation 5:10
We faithful Christians will go to live in all of the holy Land. That is our destiny. We are there when the AC comes to Jerusalem; Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7
I note that your opinions are totally bereft of scriptural support.
Hi keras,
The AC will sit in a temple but it will not be the one Ezekiel talks about. The Ezekiel temple has the glory of God in the Most Holy place and God is certainly not going to let the AC go there. The temple in the tribulation, is `naos,` a temple elsewhere from the one Jesus refers to as `hieron,` Solomon`s temple.
Now do you read a newspaper as all about you? No of course not, yet you are reading God`s word as if it all applies to you.
John 3: 13 only says that no one has ascended to heaven, for Jesus had not died and rose again.
John 17: 15 is talking about believers while they are alive to still be in the world.
John 7: 34 Jesus is talking to His disciples telling THEM that they will not be able to go to the Father where He is going for they are still alive.
John 8: 21 - 23 The same as above. People are still alive therefore they cannot go to heaven yet.
Rev. 5: 10 the Greek word is `epi` meaning `over.` We shall rule OVER the earth.
Dan. 7: 25 The Body of Christ was NOT revealed in the OT so we can`t be in Dan. 7: 25. Those saints are Israeli saints.
Rev. 13: 7 are the tribulation saints, not the Body of Christ who has already gone to heaven.
Now keras, tell my why does God give us a body like unto His that will be immortal, incorruptible and able to go through walls, a body that is obviously NOT for this world, a spiritual body. (1 Cor 15: 44, 52 - 54)
