I was reading 1 kings chap 5 :17 about the reason Solomon said not able to build it because of wars haven’t studied much on it yet.
Solomon was told that he must keep the commandments of God... David had blood on his hands and couldn't build the temple... Solomon tried to kill Israel-of-the-north's king, right after being made king. Jesus tells us that if you think about a thing and implies that if you try and fail, you are guilty of doing the crime... which means Solomon was even more unfit to build the house of God.
Esaias 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool:
what kind of a house will ye build Me? and of what kind
is to be the place of My rest? 2 For
all these things are Mine, saith the Lord:
and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the man that trembles at My words? 3 But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to Me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as
one that offers swine’s blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet
they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not hearken to Me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before Me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
5
Hear the words of the Lord, ye that tremble at His word; speak ye, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to
His adversaries. 7 Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped
it and
brought forth a male. 8 Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that
Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children? 9 But I have raised this expectation, yet thou hast not remembered Me, saith the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? saith thy God.

Rev.12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before
the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she
brought forth a man child, who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
caught up unto God, and [to] His throne.

Rev.11:11 And after three days and an half
the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they
ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This woman is Heavenly Sion, and her child is born from above, given the Resurrection prepared for us by Jesus, and taken up to Heaven. Rev.10 calls this the Kingdom of God, which is the Mystery of God that is finished because of this Resurrection... so, the wedding of Cana = this wedding in Heaven. Those who overcome, says Jesus...
Rev.2:27 And he shall
rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father.
People think this was the birth of Jesus in Rev.12... and of course it was not. Because Isa.66 told us what Rev.12 tells us... and most people don't talk about Isa.65 which sets the stage. They want to believe that a chosen nation doesn't have to obey "thou shalt not covet" then "kill", then "steal". So they don't mind at all saying that
blood-drenched secular Zion equals the entirely different
Heavenly Sion of Rev.12.
The remnant who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus only wake up when they see the Resurrection of
the Two Witnesses... these are also of Heavenly Sion, but they will have to flee Jerusalem/Babylon before the earthquake which is caused by the earth to swallow the flood of the dragon. This is the split mountain from the Prophets... I don't remember the exact Scripture for it right now... but they will go even to old Babylon, where they will be evangelized by God. After the world has hated this woman, the 144k sealed will be found in the lands where they live, and they will be coming home.
Apparently the beast from the pit that makes war on the saints will stand in a new abomination-temple...
Daniel's sacrifice and drink offering are not temple things... they're
the two witnesses which are taken up by God... because Psalms 51:16-17, Micah 6:7-8 Isaiah 66:1-8, and Jeremiah 7:4-7 still stand.
