Well, there is no temple in Jerusalem and God made sure none will ever by built by giving the land to the Moslems. That will never happen as the land is gone and a war would have to be fought to get it back. So I do not see how a temple will be there at all ever.
We are the temple of the holy Spirit in any case. God left the holy of holies and the temple long ago. He dwells in the hearts of his children now.
I agree.
What is your view of the "temple/sanctuary" being measured in Revelation 11:1? Symbolic or literal?
1st century or future? or "other".
Matthew 24:1
And Jesus coming out, departed from
the Temple.
And His Disciples approached Him to show to Him the buildings of the Temple.
Mark 13:1
And He going forth out of
the Temple,
one of His Disciples is saying to Him “Teacher! behold! what manner of stones and what manner of buildings”
Luke 21:5
and of some saying concerning
the Temple,
that to goodly stones and votive-offerings it has been adorned
Luke 19:43
That shall be arriving<2240> days upon Thee, and thy Enemies shall be casting up a rampart<5482> to Thee,
and
shall be encompassing<4033> Thee, and pressing Thee every which place.
Luke 21:
20 “But when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
24 “And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. [
Revelation 13:10]
And Jerusalem will be trampled<3961> by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” [
Revelation 11:2]
Revelation 11:
1 And was given to me a reed like-as rod saying "rouse! and
measure! the Sanctuary/Temple<3485> of the God and the Altar and those worshiping in it
2 and the Court/fold<833>, without of the Sanctuary, be casting-out!<1544> out-side<1854>, and no it thou should be measuring, that it was given to the nations
and the holy City they shall be trampling<3961> forty two months. [Luke 21:24]
