Your assertion that a 3rd temple would disprove partial-preterism and prove dispensationalism is an interesting one, considering Julian the apostate and the surrounding pagans wanted to build a 3rd temple to disprove Christianity, and make Christ out to be a false prophet. I also find it interesting that despite history showing multiple failed attempts to build a 3rd temple, in addition to Jesus stating that Jerusalem would no longer be the center of worship, the dispensationalists are still pushing for a physical temple.
Actually it is biblicists who believe in the 3rd Temple based on the clear unambiguous teachings of Gods Word. It doesn't mean god approves of animal sacrifices again, nor that the Mosaic System is back inforce- it is simply a report on a future event without God saying He approves!
It doesn't matter if 1000 attempts have been made to rebuild the temple. It will happen in Gods timetable.
Preterists and covenant theology believers all mocked when it was said Israel would be restored to her land just as prophesied in many places in the OT. Then in 1948 after it happened- they had to come up with all sorts of excuses why 1948 was irrelevant to the bible.
They also said Israel would never get back Jerusalem. Then in 1967 they had to make all sorts of excuses when Israel recaptured her capital (and Gods footstool forever according to Scripture).
They now say Israel will never rebuild the temple. Well they have the cohens and Levites in place.
they have the epphods. The temple toos. They have taught animal sacrifice in Hebrew University. They have the models and blueprints. All they wait (though they do not know fI think) is for god to pave the way for teh temple to be rebuilt.
But preterists and covenantalists say- Islam will never let go of Temple Mount and the Dome of the rock!
Interesting enough is that the Dome of the rock is located in the court of the gentiles- so the entire temple proper can be rebuilt without evicting the Muslims! And when it is rebuilt, I expect a huge amount of excuses as to why that is also irrelevant!
The only good thing for my covenantal brethren is- when the pre trib rapture happens- they won't h ave to make excuses for that as well, for you will be caught up with us who know!
