I do do that. Archaeology is proving the bible. Absolutely we tie them together. But I do feel that because the temple was destroyed, doesn't emphatically mean that there will not be a third temple. We have to be careful which archaeology and science that we tie to scripture, lest we be in error. I can not wrap my mind around, that the temple was destroyed in 70 AD meaning that was it, no third temple. Sure, Jesus did away with sacrifices, but that doesn't mean that mankind couldn't mistakenly start it up again! Does not the anti-christ supposed to go into the temple and declare himself to be God? There has to be a temple for that.
They're ready to build a temple. They have building materials on hand and are waiting. Now, the have the Ark of the Covenant also. It's just that dome of the rock thing that is in the way. Perhaps the coming blood moons will somehow make it possible for it (to fall?) to the temple to be rebuilt.
O.k. you guys..

Group #2 is no longer to be considered of God's people. Faith, not genes, differentiate God's people.Then if I am understanding you correctly, one of the following categories is gone forever. Is it Christians?
- genetic faithful Jews who fear God(meek - good figs)
- genetic unfaithful Jews who don't fear God(zealots - bad figs)
- faithful Christians
Be specific. Generalizations are what feed sloppy interpretation.So it's an analogy now? Nah. I don't buy that. Besides, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that the time of Jacobs trouble will take 2/3 Jews. That didn't happen yet, not even in WWII.
Jerusalem is consistently identified as Babylon all through Revelation. Their judgments share similar characteristics.I know about that. It doesn't seem to have any relevance to Revelation though.

I'm beginning to think I will find a lot of use for this comment of yours.
And the mod cries not fair not fair .... how can the line be held while busting up.... ?
Deborah13 i know things like this are a bit embarrassing, here it is any way Thank you for the way you post, saying your piece, having some fun being kind, and holding to Christian principles.
Miss the point? I seem to disagree with most of your doctrine, and in your response you cite "Group #2 is no longer to be considered of God's people." Maybe I'm wrong, but when were "genetic unfaithful Jews who don't fear God(zealots - bad figs)" ever considered God's people? Possibly referencing a scripture would help.You miss the point again.
If someone is going to reject an answer based on some vague notion that they read something somewhere, then it would be courteous to identify what authority they are appealing to so that the exact wording and context can be examined. I feel under no obligation to assume what motivates the belief of others.
If you want to challenge something I post, then explain your concern so I can see exactly where you are having trouble that I may address that area specifically.

The second illustration is that "Jerusalem is consistently identified as Babylon all through Revelation. Their judgments share similar characteristics." Again scripture in correct context might substantiate your statement. I will discontinue using your statement "Be specific. Generalizations are what feed sloppy interpretation."
