Third Temple

[BABerean2]

The ones who do not and will not accept Lord Jesus are the ones who will build the physical temple.

Do you agree that a rebuilt Jewish temple will be a synagogue of Satan as described in Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9, or do you say it will be the temple of God?

1Jn 2:22　 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.　


1Jn 2:23　 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Just to get some other opinions on this. I read in so many places, where it is stated that the third temple will be built in the end times, and that the antichrist will come into it and say he is God.

Was not the Third Temple established when Jesus answered the Question,"what sign are you going to give us, and he answered, destroy this temple and in three days rebuild it", which was the three days before he rose and the temple being Him and those who believe in him? Aren't we the third Temple?

My understanding--which may be wrong--is that the Tribulation will have the Third jerusalem Temple, I don't know if it's built AFTER the trib. starts, or before.

But before Jesus returns it will become the temple of the antichrist.

But I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for JESUS Christ, to Whom be glory.

Hello!
I had never read, at least not in the Scriptures, anywhere, about a "third temple"...I ran a check on Biblegateway and came up with nothing. Where are you reading about the third temple?
Anyway, it is irrelevant b/c we have our warning given to us plainly in II Thessalonians 2:4 that the man of lawlessness sets himself up in God's temple proclaiming himself to be God. That is enough warning on that account. One can then combine this warning with Christ's warning in Matthew 24:23-25:
At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.
So we must resist him and look to the heavens for the true Jesus.
Too much millennialism which is an erroneous teaching...focus on the Bible.

...yes it's in many places, but because of a huge misunderstanding was created within christianity - namely, as if present 'israel' is God's doing.
It is not. It may séem so [that's the goal], but it isn't.
It was a devious Trick, and He knew [ofcourse], hence Ezekiel 35 writes 'aha! Finally those ancient mountains [the land] is from us, says Edem/esau" -- 1947.

...if you realize this fact,
then the entire nonsense about 'a 3d temple be built there literally' will be Off the table. [that is - they can build whatever they want there; it is but invalid]. The goál however, is to continuously distract christians with false ideas.
Yes it's that bad. We are in a serious war, see....with a hostile bloodline, who serve óther deities.

then
..others spiritualize it, and indeed it should make no sense, that after what He did, people should return to animal sacrifices...?
yet Ezekiel clearly mentions one - we can't 'reason that away', can we ;

then we must consider, that this earth will undergo a change, a dimensional change, but will still nót be the end of Revelations. Some 'interval' occurs, appereantly, after the trumpets and chalices...right ?
- the rúle over earth will be His' [ours], yet humans will still be born in that interval, in the non-eden-like physical bodies as we have them now, too ;
and obviously, they will still be capable of sinning

...the '3d temple', better 1000 y temple - will solemly exist for thése group of people.... - though He got all the rule back, and ús, this interval appears necessary for some legal right theme ; [since 'after 1000 y, gog will be released a short while']

the animal sacrifice is *not* anything Hé wants, nor started : it is the fallen ones, who stole aspects of adam and eve, and mixed those into [our present type] bodies....and the part of humanity, living in that interval period, is legally in that same position, still.

Hello!
I had never read, at least not in the Scriptures, anywhere, about a "third temple".

Its actually written here :
Rev 11:1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.
2But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.…

The 3rd temple shall be built side by side by the mosque which is the symbol of faked peace by antichrist

The court of gentiles is where the current mosque is located.
and Jerusalem shall be made an int'l city

It was the place where they "bought" Jesus and Judas sold him for 30 silvers.

May Jesus bless you all HalleluYAH

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

Brother do not be vexed by the riches of others. Apostle Paul said this.

Philippians 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

 

[mikeangel]

Thanks for all the replies. It has been a good read.
It is my opinion that the third temple is inside every Christian that believes that Jesus is the Christ and their Messiah and Savior.
Ezekiels Temple was symbolic of a perfect Temple and worship, which there has never been, or ever will be in this side of existence.

I agree with one poster that stated that the re-instituted sacrifice of Animals would be very displeasing to God. Also, PETA would go nuts. Not happening imho.

If they really tried to physically rebuild it, that would really mean WW3. The entire Muslim world would come unglued with rage. It is why it has not happened so far. The Israelis will not even let anyone on the temple mount openly pray now, much less set up a Temple and start sacrificing, for fear of starting a riot.The leaders act and talk like they are interested, but their leaders actions show they fear the Muslim reprisals and uprising and mass slaughter on an incomprehensible scale that would surely happen. In one way, the Temple Institute and others are planning on constructing the Third Temple. On the other hand, the Israelis say that they will uphold the "Status Quo". Pakistan would rain down Nukes in a huge Suicide campaign (because Israel has hundreds of Nukes, and Submarine launched ones in the Mediterranean).

God said the Physical Temple would be left to them desolate, and it is.

The anti-christ that sets himself up in Gods Temple and proclaims himself God, is already here in a way. The sinful part of man, that has been here since Adam bit the Apple in Eden, has been here all this time. "I will be like the most high". I am reminded of him when I see Morgan Freeman (I don't mean him specifically) holding a sign that says "I am God". Peace

I've shared the same concept. Another observation, in revelations when Christ will reign for a thousand years, yet notice that death isn't defeated until the last day. So it's my belief that Christ reign of a thousand years is actually just a concept of time and not an exact duration, think about it. Will Christ come and just hangout on earth for a housand years while many are just dying of old age disease etc.. ( possibly, but not sure) it isn't until the last day that death is defeated. So Christ reigning is ongoing in my opinion, for he lives in us.

No it is not written there...where does it say THIRD temple?? That is your interpretation.

 

[Steve Petersen]

To pit the spiritual/heavenly temples against the physical temple in Jerusalem is not necessary. They serve different purposes. One is a national shrine that God endorsed by His presence there when Israel was worthy. The other is a universal communion of the righteous. A person can be a participant in both.

That is clear from the New Testament. Jesus violently defended his Father's house. His followers continued to participate in the Temple long after he was gone. This is all evident from the book of Acts.

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

They are already prepping to rebuild the temple.

This passage can not be referring to to a future Jewish Temple, for any future stone building built by Christ Rejectors can no more be "the temple of God" than the Islamic Dome of the Rock that you propose it will be built next to.

It's also referred as the Temple of God in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 where the 'man of lawlessness' will sit.

 

[parousia70]

Of course it is.
One is indeed the Temple of God, the other is not.

One is a national shrine that God endorsed by His presence there when Israel was worthy.

The only thing that would make Israel worthy in God's eyes would be following the Son.

A person can be a participant in both.

Not today.

Jesus violently defended his Father's house.

Until he didn't. (Matthew 23:38, Luke 19:43-44)

His followers continued to participate in the Temple long after he was gone. This is all evident from the book of Acts.

Also evident is that He promised that the Lord of the Vineyard would come and crush the wicked vinedressers to powder (Matthew 21:33-45)

And to avoid that, His followers were taught to detach from race, from animal sacrifices, from the Temple, from the priestly class of Aaron, and from any earthly city, and they did. He instructed them to FLEE when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies, and they did. This proves that Christianity was of divine origin. They prophetically foresaw that the Old system was about to vanish (Hebrews 8:13) and history proves they were true prophets.

The temple system is over. God wont be utilizing any sort of "Backward" steps in the Redemption of man.

Again proving that both those passages can NOT be speaking of a future to us stone temple in Jerusalem.

Or proving your assumption is incorrect.

 

[parousia70]

Or proving your assumption is incorrect.

How so?

I certainly willing to listen to any explanation of how a stone building built by modern day Christ Rejectors can be rightfully, biblically called "the temple of God".

I'm all ears.

 

[SeventyOne]

How so?

If a temple in which the 'man of lawlessness' sits is called the temple of God, then it's either a future event or a past one. So, if you can show the 'man of lawlessness' has come and gone, then your assumption would most likely be accurate, but if he is yet to come, then your assumption would most likely be inaccurate.

The Temple was never about redemption.
