No. look at the conditions Jesus said would precede His return - the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, iniquity and sin abounding, the wholesale turning of humanity from the truth - We're close but not quite there yet. The US has to be taken down as a world player, the worlds governments and economies must fail, and a single person rise up promising to bring peace to the chaos. Those haven't happened yet, but the stage has been well-set for it.so anytime this year then is that what you mean by this season

ohhhThe problem is the wrong Messiah will come and they will worship him.
I agree Carl that our body is the true temple of God and the real third temple, but the unbelieving Jews may still build a third temple which will attract the false Messiah and the ensuing troubles that comes with that (Jacob's troubles). I don't know if believers support the building of the third Jewish temple or merely anticipate it like I do. What will be will be God's will.Friends,
I get the impression that many believers support the building of the Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
Maybe they think this hastens the second coming?
As our bodies are now His temple for the Presence of God, why rebuild what He desecrated and destroyed?
Folks anxiously wait for the sacrifices to begin again yet the One Sacrifice has been made.
Jesus in His day, described the Jewish place of worship as the Synagog of Satan in Rev 3:9 - do we want a repeat of this???
What is going on?

well i want people saved but if they wanna fry like a kebab at 3 am on a Saturday night then let emThe problem is the wrong Messiah will come and they will worship him.
the bible favours chiastic patterns where life, death and resurrection are a central theme. in baptism, our old self is put to death and it rises new with Christ. Creation too was buried in water and rose in new life and one day Heaven and Earth will pass away only so a new one will take its place, even the law was put to death to make way for the new. one could argue that the purpose of the destruction of anything under divine direction is so that it is resurrected anew. Where this may be true, I think we grossly miss the point when see this as a brick and motor building and try and contribute to it's completion, When we do this we become like Abraham sleeping with Hagar betraying God's promise not fulfilling it.As our bodies are now His temple for the Presence of God, why rebuild what He desecrated and destroyed?

"Some Christian commentators have suggested that the Antichrist will lead the project to rebuild the Temple. However, the evidence from Scripture causes me to take quite a different view. While numerous prophecies describe the Antichrist defiling the Temple, John refers to the sanctuary as the Temple of God. "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein" (Revelation 11:1). In addition, when the apostle Paul wrote about the Antichrist being revealed, he referred to evil acts that would be carried out in "the temple of God" (see 2 Thessalonians 2:4). These passages strongly suggest that the Jews in genuine worship of God will build the Third Temple and that the Antichrist will later defile it during the Tribulation. Fortunately, the Word of God reveals that when the Messiah comes, "then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" (Daniel 8:14).
One of the greatest of the early church writers, Irenaeus, taught that the new Temple would be a genuine Temple built by the religious Jews. Citing 2 Thessalonians 2:4, he stated that "the Apostle himself, speaking in his own person, distinctly called it the temple of God."
Further, in his book Against Heresies, Irenaeus affirmed his understanding of the Scriptures' prophecies about animal sacrifices being reinstated in a future Temple. He cited Daniel's words in Daniel 9:27, stating, "the sacrifice and the libation shall be taken away, and the abomination of desolation (shall) be brought in the Temple: even unto the consummation of the time shall the desolation be complete." Again, for these prophetic events to occur, the Third Temple must be rebuilt by the Jews as a legitimate Temple of God" (Grant R. Jeffrey, The New Temple and the Second Coming, pages 19, 20)
"The Sacrificial System Will Continue
One of the most perplexing ideas to students of Scripture is the idea that God intends that the annual feasts, along with animal sacrifice, will continue into the Millennium. Many Christians who have studied the prophetic portions of Zechariah 14, Isaiah 66, and Ezekiel 40 - 48, which clearly describe these Millennial worship ordinations, are confused by the idea. They ask, "Didn't the sacrifice of Christ eliminate animal sacrifices forever?"
............"Only the complete sacrifice of Jesus could ever totally atone for our sins. However, God clearly demanded the sacrifices from Adam to Christ. Those sacrifices were acts of obedience to the direct command of God, as well as acknowledgements of one's own personal sinfulness and need for God's forgiveness. Animal sacrifices covered the sins of the people temporarily until the prophesied Messiah would come and offer Himself once and for all as the necessary atonement for sin. If animal sacrifice can never atone for sin, why would God allow Israel to resume such sacrifice in the Third Temple, prior to Armageddon, and then demand that Israel continue such sacrifice in the Millennium? There are two reasons why I believe this is true."
First, the early Jewish - Christian Church continued to offer sacrifices in the first century.".......
.......Second, New Testament writers used the legal sacrificial system to illustrate very important points concerning Christ's sacrifice on the Cross.......
..... These examples of the way early Jewish believers used God's law to teach great love when He sacrificed His only Son on the cross will be repeated during the Millennium." (Grant R. Jeffrey, Messiah, War in the Middle East and the Road to Armageddon, page 317, 318 and 319)

"If you build it, he will come."

Baptism itself does not safe you but it proclaims the message of salvation and is an important milestone of the Christian experience. What is holding you back?w
well id like to add im inable to be baptised not possible atm but im still born again
The temple is all about the sacrifice. The elect won't worship there because it serves them no purpose.Personally I can only see a third temple being established by a reprobate Israel and I do not believe the elect will worship there.
