It's going to happen sooner that you think. He is coming.
Why do you think the temple veil was torn in two when Jesus died?
The Jews of today don't read the NT, as I am sure they would know what it meant.
Not that that would stop them from building Temple and Sanctuary anyway, bless their hearts.
Last time used in OT:
Zep 3:4
Her prophets unstable -- men of treachery,
Her priests have polluted the Sanctuary, They have violated the law.
Matthew 27:
20 And
the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and
might destroy Jesus;
51 and behold!
the veil of the Sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom,
and the land did quake, and the rocks were rent,
54 And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid,
saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'
Rev 21:22
And
a Sanctuary I did not see in it, for the
Lord God, the Almighty, is its Sanctuary, and
the Lambkin,

ROMAN SIEGE AND SACK OF JERUSALEM
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
Three celebrated walls surrounded the city on every side, except that which was deemed inaccessible, and there it was defended by one wall only. The most ancient of these walls was remarkable for its great strength, and was, moreover, erected on a hanging rock, and fortified by sixty towers.............
The celebrated tower of Psephinos,
before which Titus at first encamped, was erected on this latter wall, and even excelled it in the superior style of its architecture : it was seventy cubits high and had eight angles, each of which commanded most extensive and beautiful prospects.
The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins ;
Thus terminated the glory and existence of this sacred and venerable Edifice, which from its stupendous size, its massy solidity, and astonishing strength, seemed formed to resist the most violent operations of human force,............
In executing the command of Titus, relative to the demolition of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers not only
threw down the buildings, but even dug up their foundations, and
so completely levelled the whole circuit of the city, that a stranger would scarcely have known that it had ever been inhabited by human beings. Thus was this great City, which only five
months before, had been crowded with nearly two
millions of people, who gloried in its impregnable strength, entirely depopulated, and levelled with the ground.
