No way. Jesus came to put an end to animal sacrifices and there's no way he would let it start up again. This faulty view (that the temple must be rebuilt) is based on a faulty translation/interpretation of Daniel.LittleLambofJesus said:I believe revelation is all on Israel and Jerusalem anyway, so whatever happens, I will just be watching it on cable. But first, don't the jews have to build a temple for it to be destroyed again?
DeaconDean said:"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." -Rev. 6:7-8
Do you seriously believe that the Seals have been opened? Look closely at the fourth seal. When the fourth seal is opened, the angel says "Come and See" (v. 7)
Looking at verse 8 we see that the pale horse comes forth, this rider is death, and notice very closely what comes with death. Hell! When in the course of human history has death and hell ever been released? And not only that, but looking even more closely at verse 8 we see that death was given power to kill a quarter of the worlds population by either the sword, hunger, outright death, or to be killed by wild beasts. (v. 8)
At no time in human history has this event ever taken place! At no time in human history has a quarter of the world's population died at one time! Therefore it has to be a future event! No my misguided friends, the opening of the seals has not happened yet. But I will say that it has to awful close. Now that is just my opinion. I see no reason to believe that any of the seals has been opened yet.
Rev 9
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 6
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
HowardDean said:DeaconDean (no relation); you are absolutely correct. People fail to see that. It will be unmistakable when they are opened.
LittleLambofJesus said:The "2 witnesses" are taken up at or around the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Is this going to be an event everyone will see? And are they here now or is this still future?
Reve 11:11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
DeaconDean said:The Jewish calendar is about 360 days. If you take the 70th week of Daniel and apply it to the tribulation period of Revelation, you'll see that the 7 years would equal out to about 2,520 days. Divide that by the 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and the 7 bowl judgments, you would come up with the number of 120. Each of the seals, trumpets, and bowls will last about 120 days. So if the fourth seal has been opened, then death and hell would have ruled supreme for about 120 days. A quarter of the worlds population would have died in a time space of about 120 days. When did this happen?

cavymom said:Re 11:1 Then I was given a measuring reed like a rod, with these words: "Go and measure God's sanctuary and the altar, and count those who worship there.
This measuring here in Chapter 11 is measuring the temple mentioned in Daniel:
Dan 9:26 ...and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
We see from Daniel that there must be a temple built that the beast or antichrist will desecrate, as he stands in the holy place and claims that he is god. John was given a reed to measure this "70th week" temple.
Re 11:2 But exclude the courtyard outside the sanctuary. Don't measure it, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.
This 42 months is in agreement with the 42 months that the beast will have authority:
Rev 13:5 ...and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
This will be the last half of the 70th week. Gentiles will tread the courtyard but apparently, the beast alone will control the temple itself.
Re 21:15 The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
What is being measured?
Re 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea existed no longer. 2 I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give to the thirsty from the spring of living water as a gift. 7 The victor will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
This is measuring the new Jerusalem! It is not the temple of Revelation 11. The new Jerusalem will not come down until after the thousand year reign of Christ on earth. I just thought I would make this point clear.
How does Babylon fit here?
Re 21:8 But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars--their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." (the spirit of babylon- those people from all the nations of the world that live in the flesh)
Actually, Babylon is destroyed at the end of the 70th week, and before the battle of Armageddon. Babylon is first the spirits of false religion around the world and those false religions themself, Islam being number 1! Then it is the merchandising done with the spirit of greed. (God is not against someone buying a loaf of bread). This is how I read it.
when does this take place?
--when Jesus returns
--the 1000 year millenium
Re 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself. 13 He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is called the Word of God. 14 The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen.
Jesus returns very shortly after ("immediately after") the time of great tribulation, which ends almost simultaneously with the end of the 70th week. There may be a day or two for cosmic signs.
Re 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of God's word, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with the Messiah for 1,000 years.
interpreter said:The Revelation does not all take place in 7 years but instead spans many centuries. Verse 1 and v. 3 both say the things in the Revelation would start unfolding "shortly" after the Revelation was penned. Your view is based on a faulty translation/interpretation of Daniel. IMO, the first half of the 70th week lasts 1260 years.

The two witnesses that John found worshipping in the temple of God are Christians and Jews. The Gentile nations that trample the Holy Spot are Muslims who have trampled it for 1260 years (42 months with 1 day = 1 year).LittleLambofJesus said:Ummm. Then what is this showing in revelation

Hmm, ok. They are of course Semites, just as the jews of Judaism are. All kinds of religions are in and around Jerusalem it seems. Thanks for that enlightening post. So what is Babylon representing?interpreter said:The two witnesses that John found worshipping in the temple of God are Christians and Jews.

BigChrisfilm said:The sixith seal is not when Jesus returns, it is when Satan is revealed as the fake messiah, correct.

All I want to know is, do the seals, trumpets and wraths all come after the jews build their temple or do some events occur before it is built? At what point in revelation do others see the temple being built? Thanks.inhisdebt said:All the seals have been opened, however its important to note that a seal is a resraint used to prevent gods spoken word from happening. ( this is because the words were spoken back in the time of danial, & ezekial but it remained sealed until christ acomplished salvation for us at the cross and was thus worthy to open the seals. the first five seals have occured and we are currently awaiting the events of the 6th seal to begin.
The seals lead up to the end times from the crucifiction till the day of the lord, the fith seal represents the marterdom of the saints, that started with steven and continues intil the day of the lord, the sixth seal starts the day of the lord, with the events in the heavens, sun&moon, etc and the day of the lord is finished with the 7th seal and all 7trumps are initiated then as God pours out his wrath on the day of the lord, and raptures us to him with the 7th trump, satin is cast out of heaven 3 1/2 years previose to this. there may very well be no discernable events previose to this 3 1/2 year period were the two witnesses and the false prophet battle over the souls of the earth leading up to the day of the lord. there are however several indicaters that times may be very close. World war in iran, iraq, and isreal plays a dominant role in these times, as well as open unrepentant homosexuality, and the overt sexualisation that seems to dominate the public eye, the eminant domain issues, legal removal of God from the public eye, and the large natural disastersas well. All of these are shown scripturally to be events of those end times. I recomend reading the old testiment prophacies from Isaiah to micah, this is were most of the visual info can be found, but be careful they are mixed in with a lot of completed prophacies. The temple may not have to be rebuilt for all these to take place. The role of the temple seems to dominate the thoughts of many in this study, and there is much debate over its role, however i would focus on the international events and events in jerusalam . The two witnesses are located in jerusalam not nessessarily the temple mount. The abomination of desolation was complete in 70 AD and thus danials 70th week completed the times of the jews.LittleLambofJesus said:All I want to know is, do the seals, trumpets and wraths all come after the jews build their temple or do some events occur before it is built?
