  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How would it be a deal breaker?

Ya know for pre-Tribbers ... the anti-Christ is supposed enter it 3.5 years after the Rapture...

Or for post-Tribbers, it must be standing during the Tribulation before the anti-Christ enters it, both events are required before the Rapture...

Logic would dictate it would be a deal breaker, but the real historical precedent that these folks have set, leads me to believe they would just change the rules, move the goalposts and wiggle their way out of their own temple requirements if the 3rd temple never materialized.

I fear so too.

They basically stand upon three verses more so than any other that is 1 Thess. 4:16, 5:9, and Rev. 3:10.

But how easily they overlook Rev. 2:11,26, 3:5,12,21 etc.

It is shot full of holes, there was an earlier version of Premillennialism called historic Premillennialism.

But Dispensationalism and its Rapture is strictly Darby's child and was Cyrus I Scofield's new gospel.

This overly complex eschatological system was borne in the 19th Century.

In other words...

Is the Third Temple the deal breaker for Premillennialism and its Rapture?

I would say that if we see a temple, the rapture wasn't pretrib..

Premil however is unaffected..

The 1000 years, the Lords official Sabbath, will come after the end of the Tribulation, and the final "Day of rest" will commence..

We are around the 6000 year mark since Creation..

The last thousand years are the millennial reign of Christ, this completes 7 days in heaven and 7000 years on earth.

Premils don't exactly follow a united front on the rapture timing.. It could literally be any time..

Depends on what you believe and if you even believe in the rapture I suppose..

Oh really?

Matthew 24:36

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:44

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

You are only presenting forth your own pet theories.

It says "Day or hour", It doenst say season or year.. Those in faith will understand..

It is my personal belief that the rapture is what we will not know... Christ comes after the 7 years, this is a calculable date..

Doesn't matter.. people say "Where is he?" "Why does he delay his coming"..

2Co_4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

1Co_15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In case anyone gets comfy thinking the Jews aren't actively seeking to build their Temple..

Extremist Israeli Minister Calls For Building Of Third Temple - International Middle East Media Center

And you believe God will honor animal sacrifices?

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9:14)

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10:4)

For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4)

then He said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will' He takes away the first in order to establish the second'" (Hebrews 10:9)

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, 'This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And on their mind I will write them,' He then says, 'And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.' Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin" (Hebrews 10:10-18).

You truly doing an injustice to the New Covenant!

The God of the OT, is the same God of the NT.

It was never about sacrifices...

Isa_1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.



Grace comes by faith, nothing has every changed..

God of the OT, or Jesus of the NT, its the same God.


Hab_2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

If there are any sacrifices of animals when the LORD comes and restores the kingdom to Israel... they would be for a memorial, to remember the LORD in His death..

Just as the body of Christ does today.. we remember the LORD in His death til He comes.. (well, some of us at least)..

Israel shall remember Him in His death when He comes.

Jesus is the final sacrifice.

Here is the whole gist of Hebrews 10

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins FOR ALL TIME, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for FOR ALL TIME those who are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:10-14).

There isn't anymore sacrifices accepted by God...FOR ALL TIME!

Yeah, no I get that.. Are you trying to convince me or yourself??

Why don't you witness to the Jews, who obviously haven't figured it out yet:thumbsup:

No those that commit animal sacrifice count Christ's sacrifice unworthy and trample the cross under their feet. It is the spirit of the Antichrist at work.

Not if it is to REMEMBER the LORD in His death when He comes..

I wouldn't expect a preterist to understand this.. as it's obvious that they do not remember the LORD in His death til He comes.
