Third Temple comes from Ezekiel 40-47

[Danoh]

A number of years ago I read a book written by Robert Cornuke titled "Paul's Lost Shipwreck". Bob is a former police investigator who went to the island of Malta and searched for the lead weights from the anchors of the shipwreck from the book of Acts. He discovered one of the weights in the home of a deceased scuba diver, thus verifying the truth of the Bible narrative.

He has now written an book titled, "Temple" which contains a tremendous amount of evidence showing that the area containing the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is actually the remains of the Roman Fort Antonia.

I know others have claimed the same thing.
However, if you are interested in the current temple debate, you may find the book interesting.

Like his other books, it is written as a mystery and is a good read.

And just for Danoh's piece of mind...
Yes. He is probably an Acts 2 Dispensationalist, so go ahead and get your goats tied.

Ezekiel 40-47 describes a temple never yet built. What Ezekiel gives us, in fact, is an architectural plan.

Note that at this point Joseph (the northern kingdom) is destroyed. And the land boundaries have not existed as he describes them either in his time or since then. So this has to be a future temple.

Furthermore Ezekiel spends a great deal of space to do so. The only other real equivalent to these Ezekiel chapters are the detailed instructions for the construction of the ark and its environs. The idea that this is some kind of symbolic representation when it is so brutally practical is not tenable.

Ezekiel, all by himself, in 7 short chapters, eviscerates preterism. Ezekiel 40-47 cannot be explained by preterism; it can only be explained away.

Why would God show Ezekiel a temple and city to be measured and documented, especially since the old one was destroyed when he is measuring it, if it wasn't for the rebuilding post Babylon?

You people base your faith on simple misunderstandings.

Ezekiel 40:3 even states that he was to show the plans to Israel. Why show it to Israel if it wasn't for them? Why would I show anyone anything that doesn't relate to them?

If it was so, God would have told Ezekiel to just record it and lay it up for the future.

Plus, you being a Christian, didn't Christ say he was the temple to be raised up? Why would we need a temple post Christ, much less one that sacrifices animals?

Your theory makes no sense, according to the NT!

Based on details from the writings of Josephus, we know the Romans built Fort Antonia within a few hundred yards of the Jewish temple, with a bridge connecting the two.
The fort housed many of the thousands of Roman soldiers required to police the city of Jerusalem.

Every day many people show up at what is known as "The Wailing Wall".
It is made up of stones stacked one upon another.

What did Jesus say about that?


Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


Based on details from Josephus, those stones are still stacked up at "The Wailing Wall" today, because it is part of the wall from the ruins of Fort Antonia.
The Romans did not destroy it, because they built it.

The temple itself was leveled to the ground, just as Jesus predicted.
The stones were even hauled away.

The Dome of the Rock sits on the ruins of the Roman fort.


Below is a map of the site according to the writings of Josephus.

What did Jesus say about that?"


Nothing about the retaining wall at the base of the mount

Only about the temple and associated buildings on top

Not one stone left standing .... and this is still true today

Neither will there be a temple of the Lord's on the mount during the coming time of Jacob's trouble [same as the tribulation] .... not one stone

He speaks of the coming 70th week decreed for His nation of Israel

His next temple will be built for His millennial kingdom upon the earth just after the tribulation is over [after His war of Armageddon] [Ezekiel 40]

Food for thought: If the "Wailing Wall" was part of the temple, the location of the temple wouldn't be in dispute today. They have no idea where the temple stood because the "Wailing Wall" wasn't/isn't part of the temple wall. In fact, I even think I read it was part of the original Shalem city "wall," the wall that surrounded the city. The reason why they cherish it so much. ray..

Not only is the temple mount the former Fort, but Mount Zion itself was leveled to the ground.
There is a documentary on it.. I bought it and have it, but I do not know if it is available on youtube in full, yet.
It uses the writings of the prophets and Josephus and Maccabees, among others, to prove the temple mount was completely leveled and not one stone remained standing, and not even the mount remained.
It is so loaded with historical proofs that anyone can easily follow it as it is written.

"Hagee has gone loco, totally off the reservation."


True .... Hagee is a wild card just as many like him ..... the list is a long one

Because those who behave the same with all sorts of extra-biblical rantings are in the game of making merchandise of people

Yes, it is quite obvious when reading the prophecy of Ezekiel.

The boundaries of holy oblation (Ezekiel 48: 9,10,13,15,18,20). The area of the land plot of Levi. The borders of Israel (Ezekiel 47: 15-20). Land plots of the tribes of Israel (Ezekiel 48: 1-7,23-27). Land for the President (Ezekiel 48: 21,22). Joseph's striped robe (Genesis 37: 3). Double plot of land for Joseph (Ezekiel 47: 13,14). The "face" of the Messiah. The land of Moriah. Details of the route of Abraham (Genesis 22:4,5). The place where Abraham’s knife may lie. 500 reeds around the Temple (Ezekiel 43: 16-20). Where is the right side of the House and where is the left side of the House. The watershed of the basins of two streams - Nahal Arugot and Nahal Heber. Details of the flow of water (Ezekiel 47: 1,2,8-10).

Gihon Spring is one of the most rare springs in the world, because it is a siphon spring.

If the temple was built near the spring it could have naturally pumped water up into the temple several times each day.

Why did David command that Solomon be anointed in the Gihon spring?
It is my guess that it is the site where he would build the temple.

1Ki_1:33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

1Ki_1:38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

1Ki_1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

And what are "the true original, orthodox teachings"?

The oldest Christian commentaries on Bible prophecy that have survived to the present day, sound for the most part like they might have been written last week at any one of the Dispensational seminaries in the United States.

What the heck is it with the video in Hebrew?
Benjamin and Levi joined with Judah to make up the SouthernKingdom/Nation of Judah.
Do the Jews have a Levitical High Priesthood set up for a future Temple and Sanctuary?

Ezr 1:5
Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.
Eze 48:22
So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince.
The area belonging to the Prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.

Jerusalem appears to be near the border of Benjamin [my bro Paul's tribe]

I so thank you for providing us with the fascinating theory that an Ezekiel Third Temple complex could soon be built somewhere in Israel.
