Per Biblical and secular history I have already quoted.... the 2nd temple was built and finished in the 6th century BC. Herod [who was Edomite, not Israelite] conquered Jerusalem in 37BC. Herod totally tore down the 2nd temple, even removing the foundation stones and totally rebuilt his own 3rd temple.
Those who ignore all that may miss the important second 70 years of Israel's captivity that I outlined here previously and the ironic contrast between Edomite Herod's rebuilding his version of the physical temple structure and God building His Temple made without hands, Herod's attempt to murdered the Christ child. And the Edomite-jews' manipulation of Romans to crucify Christ.
" Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
"This temple took forty-six years to build, the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. "
John 2:19-21
Jesus said Herod's temple would be destroyed and it was in 70AD. The verses I quoted above are yet another reason to believe Herod's temple will never be rebuilt.

This headline caught my eye. Forget for a minute whether another rebuilt temple would be a third or fourth. There should be no question among Christians that rebuilding an antichrist temple on the Temple Mount is an abomination.
Cyrus is an OT archetype of Christ. Jesus Christ is God's Temple made without hands.
As for Putin, he is double-minded. He will praise and promote historic 1000 year Tsarist Christian Russia then turn around and promote evil antichrist bolsheviks [a disproportionate number of whom were Jews] who destroyed it. Putin will praise and promote Christians then turn around and praise and promote antichrists. But it's not just Putin... most modern lukewarm Christians are equally double-minded. The Bible says... a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Btw... Russia has a church on the Mt of Olives where one of the royal Romanovs [who had helped build the church before she was brutally murdered by antichrist bolsheviks] is now entombed.

Well, I don't know what the relocating of the American embassy to Jerusalem has to do with endtime prophecy, but, I do believe that it is somehow relevant. We just have to watch and wait to see how.

No, you're wrong. Herod did not completely demolished the 2nd temple and built a completely new temple.
You're incorrectly assuming the entire temple was torn down because the Antiquities of the Jews had mentioned "Herod took away the old foundations, and laid others."
" So Herod took away the old foundations, and laid others, and erected the temple upon them "
The Antiquities of the Jews did not say the entire temple was torn down.
This was what the rest of that sentence had said. What fell down was only that part of the temple where the foundation was later raised.
§3. [391] So Herod took away the old foundations, and laid others, and erected the temple upon them, being in length a hundred cubits, and in height twenty additional cubits, which [twenty], upon the sinking of their foundations fell down; and this part it was that we resolved to raise again in the days of Nero.
Here's the evidence proving you wrong. In the sanctuary, only the foundation beneath the Hekal (Holy Place) was changed and raised in height so that it would be aligned with the foundation beneath the Holy of Holies. The entire temple was not demolished as you so erroneously claimed.
Herod Raises the Foundation Six Cubits
In the Second Temple the foundation was raised six cubits making the floor of the Hekal, the Holy Place, level with the floor of the Holy of Holies. In other words, in Solomon’s Temple the floor of the Holy of Holies was at least six cubits higher than the floor of the Holy Place. Therefore, on Yom Kippur the High Priest had to ascend a ramp or short stairway to enter the Holy of Holies. But not so in Herod’s Temple because both floors were made the same height. The problem? By raising the floor of the Holy Place and making it level with the Holy of Holies, Herod e
rased forever the figure of Jacob sleeping at Bethel and using a stone for a headrest; for as the graphic at right shows, the ramp or stairway relates to Jacob’s neck, and the elevated Holy of Holies to his raised head. Hence, the rock upon which Isaac was bound earlier by Abraham (Genesis 22:9) – the Eben Shetiyah , the Foundation Stone – corresponds to Jacob’s ‘pillow stone’ at Bethel. But in Herod’s Temple, because of the new and higher foundation, only three finger breadths of Isaac’s rock could be seen, a paltry few inches.
First Temple vs. Second Temple

Even in Herod's own words, he called it something to the extent of a reconstruction and renovation project, not a new temple.
Herod even said himself, that it was only intended to be regarded as an enlarging and further beautifying of that of Zerubbabel’s.

The Second Temple was an important Jewish Holy Temple (Hebrew: בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי, Beit HaMikdash HaSheni) which stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, between 516 BCE and 70 CE. According to Jewish (and subsequently, Christian) tradition, it replaced Solomon's Temple (the First Temple), which was destroyed by the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE, when Jerusalem was conquered and a portion of the population of the Kingdom of Judah was taken into exile in Babylon.
Jewish eschatology includes a belief that the Second Temple will be replaced by a future Third Temple.
Rabbinical literature
Traditional rabbinic literature state that the Second Temple stood for 420 years and based on the 2nd-century work Seder Olam Rabbah, placed construction in 350 BCE (3408 AM), 166 years later than secular estimates, and destruction in 70 CE (3829 AM).[15]

The Second Temple
Erected 70 years after the First Holy Temple’s destruction, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Zerubavel spearheaded the construction of the Second Holy Temple when the Jews returned to Israel from the Babylonian exile. The Second Holy Temple stood for 420 years, until the Romans seized control and mercilessly burned it to the ground. Currently, its only remnant is a partial wall on one side of the Temple Mount known as the Western Wall, or Kotel in Hebrew.

The Destruction of the Second Holy Temple
A Historical Overview
The Second Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem for 420 years (349 BCE–70 CE). Unlike the period of the First Temple, when the Jews were for the most part autonomous, for the vast majority of the Second Temple era the Jews were subject to foreign rule: by the Persians, the Greeks, and eventually the Romans.

A Bit of History
The first Sanctuary was built by Moshe and the Jews. It was movable, and could be transported with the Jewish people from place to place in the Wilderness.Nearly 400 years later, King David, designed a permanent Temple for G-d in Jerusalem. It was built by his son, King Solomon. This was the first Holy Temple. It stood in the holy city of Jerusalem for 410 years. The first Temple was destroyed by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, who cast the Jews into exile.
After 70 years in Exile, the Jews were at last able to return to Eretz Yisrael, under the leadership of Ezra the Scribe. He supervised the construction of the Second Temple. This occurred soon after the story of Purim took place. The Second Temple was larger than the First, and stood for 420 years. It was destroyed by the Roman armies led by Titus.
The Third Temple will be rebuilt on the same spot that the first two Temples stood, when Moshiach comes, may it be very soon!
Ahavat Israel - Beis HaMikdash - Laws of The Holy Temple
All the history books even said the Romans destroyed the 2nd temple in 70 AD, not a 3rd temple. Unless you know something Herod and the rest of us doesn't, your prideful arrogance prevents you from admitting your mistake.
