Great question. Mmmm. I say God.Who owns the Temple Mt. in Jerusalem?
Yes, that was the 6 day war 1967 June 5th - 11th.In 70AD the temple was torn down. We all know this. The prophesy was that when it was torn down that it would be trodden under foot of the Gentiles until Jesus returns. And that will be a while yet. The Jews had a war a few years ago and re-claimed Jerusalem and the temple mount. I think. Call my hand on this if you know.

The Bible indicates that a 3rd Temple will be built on or near the site of Solomon’s Temple (Dan 9:27
Your calculations are off. You'll be surprised when you see the temple up and running. It's coming.Jesus fulfilled the whole seventy weeks prophecy. The 490 years began in 458 B.C. with Artaxerxes' letter to Ezra to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Forty-nine years later Jerusalem was rebuilt. Four hundred thirty-four years later Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Then Jesus confirmed a covenant with many for one "week." The covenant was to bring salvation to all. Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus in A.D. 33. In the middle of the "week" Jesus brought an end to sacrifice and offering by suffering on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. Nowhere in the Bible does it indicate that a third Temple will be built.
The Jews don't need it because the temple is for sacrifices and Christ means we don't need that any more, their religion has been superseded. If anyone should have it, it should be Christians. There should be a big, beautiful Orthodox Church where the Dome is.
I said so in my first post
- Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
- French Coptic Orthodox Church.
- Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch. ...
- Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. ...
- Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
- Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
- Greek Orthodox
- Russian Orthodox
As Christ said " Destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days " If there are christians standing at the dome of the rock, there IS a beautiful church there. As Stephen said before being stoned . God does not dwell in a temple made with hands ..that was the importance of the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD , the Resurrection of Christ , the coming of the promised Holy Spirit so that God dwells IN and with HIS people. These buildings we have been building do not compare with the human body which God built nor do they have as much value as flesh and blood which hungers and thirst. ( Church buildings do not weep when their children starve nor do they grieve .) They will all be burnt up when Christ returns according to the Apostle Peter ( along with the elements ) . I have no reason to doubt that. It was the understanding and message of the early christians to "save your self from the wrath that is to come." God , look what we built you !!! Is it not beautiful ???????? " I was hungry and you did not feed me , I was naked and you did not clothe me , I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me ......well no but look what we BUILT for you !!!! ..oh , it is all burnt up isnt' it ? How foolish of us .The Jews don't need it because the temple is for sacrifices and Christ means we don't need that any more, their religion has been superseded. If anyone should have it, it should be Christians. There should be a big, beautiful Orthodox Church where the Dome is.
The Copts, Syriacs, Malankara Indians, Ethiopians and Eritreans along with the Armenians are one Church known as the Oriental Orthodox or non-Chalcedonians.
Greek Orthodoxy (which represents a number of different autocephalous churches), Russian Orthodoxy, Serbian, Georgian, Bulgarian, Romanian etc are all one Church known as Eastern Orthodoxy. We are 300m and the non-Chalcedonians are around 90m, the disputes are semantic and we will be reuniting within the next 10-20 years. We already have intercommunion in large parts of the world.
I was talking about the Eastern Orthodox Church, my Church and what one usually means when referring to Orthodoxy.
The only autocephalous Church with jurisdiction over Jerusalem is the Patriarchate of Jerusalem which is in communion with the rest of the autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches and is led by His All Holiness Patriarch Theophilos III.
