We’re Ready to Rebuild the Third Temple

Jesus will rule the Earth after His Second Coming from the Third Temple, in the City of Jerusalem with a Rod of Iron for 1000 years before the New Earth and New Jerusalem are instituted. I for one plan to be there so we will see who is right and who is wrong.

Jesus Ruling In Jerusalem and it will be from the Third Temple
Revelation 20:1-6 New International Version
1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. 4I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Millennial Kingdom: Jesus' 1,000-year Reign on Earth I. THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM: JESUS’ 1,000-YEAR REIGN ON EARTH

A. The Millennium is a literal 1,000-year period in which Jesus will rule the whole world from Jerusalem in righteousness and peace. Millennium is from the Latin “mille” (a thousand). 4 I saw thrones, and they (saints) sat on them…They lived and reigned with Christ for 1000 years…6 They shall reign with Him 1000 years. (Rev. 20:4-6)

B. At this time the Kingdom of God will be openly manifest worldwide affecting every sphere of life (political, social, agricultural, economic, spiritual, educational, law enforcement, family, media, arts, technology, athletics, environment, social institutions, etc.).

C. The result will be a 1,000-year period of unprecedented blessing for the whole earth as Jesus establishes righteousness and prosperity, and restores the agriculture, atmosphere, and animal life to some of the conditions that were seen in the Garden of Eden (Rev. 20:1-6; Isa. 2:1-4; 9:6-9; 11:1-16; 51:1-8; 60-62; 65:17-25; Ps. 2:6-12; 110:1-7; Deut. 8; 28; Mt. 5:5; 6:10; 17:11; 19:28; 28:19; Acts 1:6; 3:21). This period of blessing will be initiated by Jesus' Second Coming.

D. Jesus as King of Kings, will personally govern a worldwide Kingdom from Jerusalem in partnership with resurrected saints who rule with Him (Rev. 2:26-27; 3:21; 5:10; 20:4-6; 22:5; Mt. 19:28; 20:21-23; 25:23; Lk. 19:17-19; 22:29-30; 1 Cor. 6:2-3; 2 Tim. 2:12; Rom 8:17). 17 Jerusalem shall be called the Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem. (Jer. 3:17)

E. The Millennial Kingdom is one of the major revelations of Scripture. Jesus’ core message was that God’s Kingdom was being released in a new measure on earth. The NT makes clear that the kingdom is ‘already here’ (in a limited expression) but is ‘not yet’ fully here until Jesus returns. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Mt. 6:10)

F. Daniel saw the heavenly coronation of Jesus as the eternal King over all the dominions of earth. The dominions of the earth include every sphere of society. 13 One like the Son of Man (Jesus)…came to the Ancient of Days (Father)…14 To Him (Jesus) was given…a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him…27 His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve Him. (Dan. 7:13-14, 27)

G. Jesus quoted Dan. 7:27 concerning His rule over all the nations and dominions of the earth . 31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory...then He will sit on the Throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him... (Mt. 25:31-32)

H. In the Millennium all the kings of the earth will be saved and worship Jesus (Ps. 72:11; 102:15; 138:4; 148:11; Isa. 62:2; Rev. 21:24) and base their national governments on God’s Word. 11 All kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him. (Ps. 72:11)

2 Thessalonians 2 specifically speaks about a time that has not come yet as it is talking about the Anti-Christ (The Man of Lawlessness).

The Bible in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 specifically states about the Anti-Christ:

3Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness a is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

How can the Anti-Christ set himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God if the Third Temple has not been rebuilt? I'm not buying any metaphor B.S. either.

I quote scripture friend.

The following is written by John McTernan
Building of the Temple


Zechariah 6:11 “Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

(12) And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

(13) Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”

The above section of the Bible is absolutely critical to understanding the role of King Messiah in the temple. These Scriptures need a very close examination to grasp fully what God is saying through the prophet Zechariah. The key to understanding these Scriptures is the Branch and the information developed about Him. When the message is understood, the key chapters of Ezekiel 40-48 about the temple become very clear.

The prophets Zechariah and Haggai wrote immediately after the Babylonian captivity. When the Jews returned, they found the city and temple destroyed. They began to rebuild the temple under the direction of Zerubbabel who was the governor and Joshua the high priest. Haggai wrote to encourage the building of the temple. Zechariah then uses the building of the second temple to show what is going to take place with the building of the Messiah’s temple.

When Zechariah wrote these Scriptures, the second temple was already under construction for about five months. The prophet Haggai spoke the word of the LORD in the second year of the rule of king Darius on the first of the sixth month. The order went out from the LORD to build the temple. Zerubbabel and Joshua responded by starting the construction, Haggai 1:1,2,12. When Zechariah wrote chapter six the temple had been under construction for five months, Zechariah 1:7.

Zechariah, at the direction of the LORD, makes crowns of gold and silver for a king. He then places the crowns on the head of Joshua the high priest. God’s high priest never wore the crown of a king, instead he wore a head covering called a mitre. Today, a mitre would be called a turban. Zechariah then addresses the high priest with the crowns of a king on his head as, “Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH.” The high priest was used as an object lesson to reveal the BRANCH.

Zechariah 6:12 “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:”

Zechariah used the building of the second temple and the high priest as an object lesson. The temple was already under construction, but the prophet was talking about a future temple. This person, the Branch, is going to build this temple of the LORD. He is going to sit and rule upon His throne. When He is sitting as King, He will also function as the High Priest. The combination of Him being a King and High Priest is going to bring peace.

Zechariah 6:13 “Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”

The Branch then becomes a very key figure. The prophet goes on to say that the Branch shall build the temple. In fact, the prophet emphasizes this by twice stating that the Branch is going to build the temple. He says this in verse 12 and again in verse 13.

With the object lesson of the high priest wearing crowns, it is clear that the Branch is being addressed as two office holders. He is both a king and priest in one person. The identity of the Branch is very important.

The Branch cannot be Zerubbabel. The kingdom was taken away from Judah at this time, and the Jews were under the authority of the Persians. Darius was king and Zerubbabel was only a mere governor under Darius. Zerubbabel never ruled as a king on the throne of David, and he never bore the glory. Zerubbabel never functioned as a priest and Joshua never functioned as a king.

It is impossible for this section of Scripture to be Zerubbabel or Joshua or a combination of them both. This is a prophecy about one individual who is identified as the Branch. The throne mentioned is the throne of David. The Branch, being King Messiah, will sit on the throne of David. It is very important to realize the throne that the Branch will sit on is the throne of David. There will be only one throne when the Branch is ruling.

The prophet used Joshua as both king and high priest to show what the Branch was going to do in the future. He was going to build the final temple of the LORD. This is the temple which will be built by King Messiah and described in Ezekiel chapters 40-48.

The Bible uses the name, the BRANCH, as an identifier of King Messiah. The Branch is a term to signify King Messiah who is a direct descendant of King David. The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah all refer to King Messiah as the Branch. It is the Branch of David, King Messiah, who will build the magnificent temple of Ezekiel 40-48 from which He shall rule the nations.

Thus the Bible very clearly teaches that the Branch is going to build His temple. He is going to hold the office of both King and High Priest. As He sits as both King and Priest, He is going to bear the glory, and there will be worldwide peace under Him. This is the everlasting kingdom that was promised to David.

The Hebrew word for Branch is tsemach, Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance number 6780. It literally means a sprout and gives the picture of something growing. The Branch then, is King Messiah, who is a descendant of David. The Hebrew word tsemach is only found nine times in the Bible and five times it is translated Branch.

Each time the word is translated Branch, it gives an additional picture of the Messiah. The first use is by Isaiah who describes the Branch as beautiful and glorious. Isaiah also shows the time when the Branch will reign. The time frame will be during King Messiah’s reign on earth when Israel will be called holy. This verse follows:

Isaiah 4:2 “In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel . (3) And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:”

Jeremiah gives very important Scriptures about King Messiah being the Branch of David. He states that God is going to raise up a righteous Branch to David. The Branch will be King over all the earth. He will execute judgment and justice in earth. Israel will dwell safely. This is the same time frame when King Messiah is ruling over the earth. King Messiah and the Branch of David are one and the same. The Branch will be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah without any doubt shows that the Branch is King Messiah.

Jeremiah 23:5 “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. (6) In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

Jeremiah uses the Hebrew word tsemach for a second time to identify King Messiah as the Branch of David. In Chapter 33, he again refers to King Messiah as the Branch of righteousness from David. The Branch is going to execute judgment and righteousness in the land and there will be peace and safety. When the Branch is ruling, Jerusalem will be referred to as the LORD our righteousness. This is because of the presence of the Branch in the city.

Jeremiah 33:15 “In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. (16) In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.”

The next reference to the Branch is found in Zechariah. The prophet refers to the Branch as God’s Servant and thus it becomes a very important reference. King Messiah, the Branch and God’s Servant are all one person.

Zechariah shows that when God brings forth His Servant, that iniquity is going to be removed from the people in one day. There is then a direct connection between God’s Servant, the Branch, and the cleansing from sin. The Scriptures to show this follow:

Zechariah 3:8 “Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

(9) For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

The last reference in the Bible to the Branch is found in Zechariah 6, showing the Messiah to be both King and Priest. From the previous verses, it is clear that the Branch is the King Messiah, and He is going to rule in righteousness over the entire earth. He will bring peace and safety not only to Israel , but to all the nations of the world.

Zechariah clearly states that King Messiah is going to build the temple, and He is going to be both King and High Priest. He is going to sit on His throne, the throne of David and bear the glory.

There is no doubt that Zechariah 6:11-13 is an object lesson to what the Branch is going to do and what He is going to be. He will sit on the throne as both King and High Priest, and He will bear the glory. The Scriptures to show this follow:

Zechariah 6:12 “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

(13) Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”

When studying the Scriptures about the temple in Ezekiel chapters 40-48, it is critical to remember that the Messiah will build this temple and sit on the throne of David as both King and High Priest. This is the foundation for understanding the rest of the Scriptures about the temple. Without this understanding, the Messiah’s temple can be very confusing. With King Messiah sitting on the throne of David in the temple, everything else about the temple fits perfectly together.

Maria Billingsley said:

1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2“Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

And thus the Romans destroyed the Second Jewish Temple as Yeshua foretold. That has nothing to do with the rebuilding of the Third Jewish Temple.

I highly suggest those who do not believe in the rebuild of a Third Jewish Temple prayerfully read the Prophetic Chapters of Ezekiel 40-48 as this structural layout has yet to be constructed. It describes the future, messianic, millennial kingdom of Israel Temple. Those who hate Jews and Israel need not bother. If you have any interest in G_d's plan to fulfill the everlasting Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants as G_d does not lie or change His mind as men do you mind find it interesting. We Christians are but graphed in to the vine of Abraham. We are NOT the root and G_d gave His oath to redeem the seed of Abraham via the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants made with Israel which He will fulfill! If G_d can not be faithful in these Covenants then we have no faith He will be faithful to fulfill any other Covenants. Personally my G_d is faithful to fulfill His Word Always! The New Jerusalem when it descends will not have a Temple as G_d will dwell with us. Read Revelation 21 in its entirety. I am speaking above about the 1000 year of Christ before the The New Heaven and Earth, New Jerusalem right after the Second Coming of Jesus. Are you not aware of the difference?
