(CLV) Zch 14:16
And it will come to be that everyone left of all the nations coming against Jerusalem, they will also go up, as often as year by year, to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, and to celebrate the festival of booths.

(CLV) Zch 14:17
And it will come, whoever shall not go up from the families of the earth, to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, then the downpour shall not come on them.

(CLV) Zch 14:18
And if a family of Egypt shall not go up, and will not come, then it will not be on them; there shall come the stroke with which Yahweh shall strike the nations which will not go up to celebrate the festival of booths.

(CLV) Zch 14:19
This shall be the sin of Egypt, and the sin of all the nations which will not go up to celebrate the festival of booths.

(CLV) Zch 14:20
In that day there shall be on the horse shades: Holy to Yahweh. And the pots in the house of Yahweh will be like the sprinkling bowls before the altar.

(CLV) Zch 14:21
And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will come to be holy to Yahweh of hosts. And all who are sacrificing will come and take of them and cook in them. And not longer shall there be a trafficker in the house of Yahweh of hosts, in that day.

"Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice."

I institute a new covenant, etc, far superior to the former and of the old, etc.

And far better and much higher one as well, etc, and not like the former way, etc.

For have I not conquered to have it or institute it or achieve it, etc.

Now go, and learn what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice."

God Bless!

The sacrifices of the new kingdom are not those of repentance but those of thankfulness.

Or of Love, etc, but close enough I guess...

That Christ Himself demonstrated at or on the cross, etc...

And with His life, and throughout His life, etc...

But close enough, good job...

God Bless!

Love sacrifices all for those that it Loves or that that it Loves, etc...

All, etc...

And is what I believe is truly meant in the saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice", etc...

Great job though... Really, great job.

God Bless!

There is .... heaven in it's entirety is His temple ... His sanctuary.

Revelation 21:22

But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

Do you support the building of the third temple in Jerusalem?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

What does scripture tell us about the third temple in Jerusalem?

Herod built the third temple in Jerusalem. Yahshua would visit it; and he called it a house of prayer. It would seem that Yahshua supported it.

Behold, your house is left to you desolate!

1 Kings 9:7
then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them, and this temple that I have sanctified for My name I will banish from My presence. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.

Jeremiah 22:5
But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.'"

Acts 7:48
Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

Revelation 21:22
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

Ezekiel 37:27
My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Revelation 3:12

Berean Study Bible
The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.

We await the New Jerusalem that will come down from heaven. Heaven is Gods temple/sanctuary ... always has been ... earthly temples were copies of it ... however earthly temples are faulty.

2nd Corinthians

English Standard Version
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Revelation 21

A New Heaven and a New Earth
(Isaiah 65:17-25)

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying:

“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,
and He will dwell with them.
They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’c

and there will be no more death
or mourning or crying or pain,

for the former things have passed away.”5And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 6And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life. 7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal. 12The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates. 13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height. 17And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.18The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone:

The first foundation was jasper,
the second sapphire,
the third chalcedony,
the fourth emerald,

20the fifth sardonyx,
the sixth carnelian,
the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl,
the ninth topaz,
the tenth chrysoprase,
the eleventh jacinth,
and the twelfth amethyst.

21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.f 25Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.26And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations. 27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

"Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice."

Is there a difference between what YHWH desires; and what YHWH requires? Is not sacrifice a requirement according to his word?

Let's not get our terms confused.

I institute a new covenant, etc, far superior to the former and of the old, etc.

And far better and much higher one as well, etc, and not like the former way, etc.

For have I not conquered to have it or institute it or achieve it, etc.

Let's not get our terms confused. The Torah is not the covenant. The covenant is the contract, or the agreement.

Here is the agreement that was made at Sinai:

(CLV) Ex 19:8
Now all the people responded together and said: All that Yahweh speaks we shall do. When Moses brought back the words of the people to Yahweh,

The terms of the agreement are not the agreement.

When a tenant breaks his lease agreement (contract) with his landlord; because he didn't keep the terms of the agreement. The landlord evicts that landlord.

Let's say that the terms were that the tenant would have no pets; but that the tenant's pets were stinking up the landlord's house. The landlord continued to give the tenant warnings; but the destruction to the landlord's house continued.

Finally the landlord evicts the tenant, and enters a lease agreement with a new tenant, who has a heart for a nice clean house. Does the landlord toss out all of the terms for which he evicted the disobedient tenant; when he brings in the new tenant; or does he have the new tenant agree to the same terms that the old tenant violated?

(CLV) Dt 4:2
You shall neither add onto the word that I am enjoining on you, nor shall you subtract from it, but observe- the instructions of Yahweh your Elohim that I am enjoining on you.




Now go, and learn what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice."

We covered this already.

It speaks of there is no temple in heaven.

Doesn't the Millennial Reign take place in earth?

Where is this temple?:


(CLV) 1Pt 2:5
you, also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, most acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

There isn't any need for sacrifices ... Jesus is/was the only acceptable sacrifice (the ONLY lamp without spot) ... and His sacrifice was for all for all time and was accepted fully.

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All

10 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,

“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”

17 then he adds,

“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

Not according to Paul.

(CLV) Ro 12:1
I am entreating you, then, brethren, by the pities of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice, living, holy, well pleasing to God, your logical divine service,

Our bodies are indeed a temple of the Holy Sprit until He returns and takes us to the Sanctuary in heaven. Until He returns we walk by the Spirit. Everything is spiritual right now and until He returns.
