This temple is not a literal temple that John is to measure as there never will be a third one built as the temple mount will never be given back to the Jews and here is the reason why. Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times all because Israel never repented of their sin of idolatry when they were allowed back into their land again in 538 BC after their seventy year Babylonian exile and the land fell under the leader of the Roman Empire that still has diplomatic ties with Jerusalem today.

When the second temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans other Roman temples were built there and destroyed during various revolts up to the fourth century. From the fourth century the temple mount laid undeveloped until the Muslim Siege of Jerusalem in 637 CE. Between 689-691 CE the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock which stands today, but now under renovations that have to do with the prophecy of the son of perdition in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 and the great falling away before the return of Jesus.

John was to measure the Spiritual temple of God as being those who are truly in Christ through the Spiritual rebirth that worship Him in all truths, John 3:3-7, which make up the temple of God as being the body of Christ. The symbolic here represents God separating and protecting His people. The temple of God is no longer made by hand since the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom, Matthew 27:50, 51; Acts 7:48-51. The temple of God is within man that has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that keeps himself undefiled before the Lord, Matthew 27:51; Mark 7:15-23; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.

The outer court represents that of the control the Gentiles will once again have over the Holy city as they take full control over Jerusalem and trampled it for the last three and a half years of the seven years tribulation period. The first three and a half years begin with the opening of the seventh seal and the last three and a half beginning with the seventh trumpet as this explains the seven year tribulation that Jesus mentions in Matthew 24:21 as being the worst tribulation there has ever been nor will ever be again.

During this time once again the revived Roman Empire will take control of the temple mount in Jerusalem as a New World Order is even now being set up that will be one single world government of economic, political and religious power. They will bring back the sacrifices in the last part of the three and a half years or at the end of Daniels seventy week vision in Daniel chapter 9.

This sacrifice they make is not the sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, but will be a sacrifice in that of persecuting Christians to death as they refuse to bow down to this Nebuchadnezzar type system. It’s like that of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel Chapter 3 as they refused to bow down and worship the idols of Baal and God rescued them from the fire. The fulfillment of the times of the Gentile is that of the Gentiles that will not repent as they fulfill the prophecy of the beast and the false prophet that are thrown into the lake of fire with Satan at Gods final judgment.

Daniels first half of the 70 weeks:

First Advent of Messiah:

From rebuilding the Temple to Messiah birth. This was Ezra rebuilding the literal Temple, but also prophetic of the Spiritual Temple making it ready for Messiah to return.

Daniels sixty nine weeks are four hundred and eighty three Solar years (Daniel 9:25). Seven weeks of years was forty nine years rebuilding Jerusalem around 457B.C. (Ezra 7:11-26; 9:9). Sixty two weeks of years was the period of time leading up to Messiah the Prince in the beginning of his ministry in 27A.D. up to the crucifixion in 31A.D, (Daniel 9:26). From the cross to the second advent of Messiah’s return was a prophetic gap being the present Church age (Gentiles) which was a mystery not revealed to Daniel, Ephesians 3:4-10.

Daniel's second half of the 70th week:

The second advent of Messiah is from the time of Christ ministry to the cross. There are seven Lunar years of great tribulations as described in Daniel 7:13, 14; 9:26, 27;

12:1 and the outline of Matthew Chapter 24. A peace treaty between Israel and the one who is to come (son of perdition) will fall in the last week of Daniels seventy weeks.

This is just a small summary that explains the temple and the holy city. It’s an in-depth study that is very relevant to the end times before Christ returns.

Daniel gives six major events that characterize the four hundred ninety years.

  1. To finish the transgression - Israel's rejection of Messiah (Jesus) as Israel is brought to restoration at the time of the second coming.
  2. To put an end to sin - The sins of National Israel will not be forgiven until the deliver comes out of Zion and a new covenant is given to them.
  3. Made reconciliation for iniquity - Life, death an Resurrection we are now reconciled through the blood of Christ as the final sacrifice
  4. To bring in everlasting righteousness - This is when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to the earth and set up His kingdom.
  5. Seal up the vision and prophecy - This will be the time when all prophecy is fulfilled and the Lord Jesus Christ will be Lord of Lord and King of Kings.
  6. Anoint the Most Holy - The Lord Jesus Christ will be anointed when the temple is cleansed at the end of the 2520 days when He returns.

Daniel 8:14 and he said unto me, unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. This is the full 70 weeks which end with the return of Christ when the kingdoms of this world will finally be the kingdoms of our Lord, Revelation 11:14, 15. (Notice the second woe is past and all events that take place during the seventh trumpet come quickly)
 
Paul says in Corinthians that you are the temple and the spirit of God dwells within you. Enough said. Unless people want to argue Paul and go out of the Bible.

If Paul is correct then no other temple is relevant to anyhing. It is finished. God did say he will put his law in the heart, obviously through the Spirit of himself that comes through Christ.

Jesus said in Luke 17

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

After the Spirit was given Paul did not say lol here and lo there, in harmony with Jesus words he said you are the temple and the spirit dwells within you.

Obviously Jesus is talking about after his ressurection when the spirit is given as he's talking future. So unless people want to argue with Jesus, enough said.

i thought there was going to be a third temple in which the antichrist announces to the world that he is god? - a part of the peace treaty with israel that he breaks 3.5 years later?

Where in scripture does it say there is a 3rd temple aside from Paul saying you are the temple.? Or Christ saying the Spirit of God dwells within you?.

In revelation it says rise and measure the temple, that many believe is a 3rd built temple, but I believe it was written before 70ad talking about the Romans levelling Jerusalem and slaying the land. Only the wise fled to the hills and caves when they seen the signs.


Who is "the antichrist"?. In scripure I read of many antichrists and the spirit of antichrist, but no literal singular figure or literal 3rd temple.

i think it is Revelation or somewhere it talks about the antichrist proclaiming himself god - making peace with israel and then breaking the peace treaty 3.5 years later

since this has not happened yet it must mean there will be a 3rd temple

still looking to see where this is in scripture
 
After the Russian led invaders of Israel are annihilated (as per Ezekiel 38-39, Zechariah 12-14), I'm confident the Israelites will commence building the third Temple.

When the Temple is completed, I'm confident the Beast will go there and be worshiped by the lost. Beast given authority to wage war for forty-two months Rev 13:6.
Ezekiel 39:9 specifies a 7 year clean up time period after the invaders are annihilated.

It appears to me the Beast will publicly emerge a few years before he will reign.

There will never be a third Temple built by hands that God will dwell in, Acts 7:48; Acts 17:24. When the veil of the Temple was torn from top to bottom after Jesus gave up the ghost, Matthew 27:50, 51, this symbolized that the sacrifice of Jesus and the shedding of his blood was now made for the atonement of sin and that all, Jew and Gentile, can come before Him as He is the only way to the Father, John 14:6.

There is no more veil for the Priest to enter into the Holy of Holies once a year to make atonement for Israel's sin nor is there any more animal sacrifices as we are no longer under the Old Covenant nor the preaching of the law, but are under a new and better covenant of Gods grace through Christ Jesus as our High Priest, Hebrews 4:14-16. Jesus prophesied of the Temple being desolate and that no one will see Him again until His time comes meaning when He returns on the last day, Matthew 24:1, 2; Luke 13:34, 35, John 6:40.

God no longer dwells in a Temple made by hands and this is why God left it desolate all these years when it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Now the Dome of the Rock sits on part of the Temple Mount and was built around 692 AD. The Muslims will never give it over to Israel, plus the Dome of the Rock is being refurbished for the son of perdition to come and sit on his throne and will cause a great falling away from truth, Isaiah 14:12-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12.

Jesus fulfilled everything the temple stood for being the last sacrifical lamb taking away all the sin of the world. God no longer dwells in a temple made by hands, Acts 7:48-50; 17:22-31; Hebrews 10:7-18

Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The church, (body of Christ) is the temple where God dwells by His Holy Spirit, Zechariah 6:9-15 (prophecy of coming Messiah); 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17; Ephesians 2:19-22, Galatians 3:19-29.

In 70AD the second temple was destroyed and put an end to the temple made by hands and the sacrifices made there. The Temple of God now dwells in all who are Spiritually born again and indwelled with the Holy Spirit, John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9, 10.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The temple of God in vs. 4 literally means the temple mount where the Dome of the Rock sits on. In order for a third temple to be built they would have to get rid of the Dome of the Rock, but that is not going to happen.

1 John 218 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

There has always been many antichrist who oppose God and as we read in this verse the last one will be the prophecy of Daniel in Daniel 7 being fulfilled as the son of perdition, who Satan works through being the beast out of the earth, Rev 13, being a literal man.

Nowhere in scripture does it say anything about a seven year peace treaty between this last antichrist/son of perdition with Israel as many prophecy teachers only assume this is what Daniel was speaking about in making a covenant. They only read the first sentence in Daniel 9:27, but when you read the whole verse it mentions nothing of a peace treaty

true - it was amazing how God dwelt in a temple built by hands - actually the portable temple/mishkan in the wilderness and then 2 stone temples in jerusalem

probably the reason why the 3rd temple will be the place where the antichrist announces he is god is because God will never again dwell in a temple built by hands

never thought of that until your post - hmm - that is fascinating - never thought about that until your post - if God does not fill a temple the devil can come in and take it over

and the spiritual message to me is that if i keep myself filled with God there is no way the devil will have a chance to mess around in my life and try to lord it over me

actually the real temple would have had to been built over/near a fresh running water source and there is none near the temple mount

they have discovered what they think might be the original temple site south of the dome of the rock - interesting how man thinks he can thwart God's plans with a dome of the rock but God outsmarts man every time

the temple mount is made of hewn blocks - something forbidden in jewish law - the temple was made of untouched stones - unchiseled - in their natural state

the temple mount more accurately matches a roman garrison compound

just food for thought

Yes, I agree, but he sure will try as all he wants is to steal our faith as we should not ever be ignorant of his devices.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

There is so much more to this that I would love to share, but the ToS prevents me.
 
The world does like mock Chrsitianity and the spirit of antichrist is trying to take down Christianity through political correctness and the equality agenda.

Notice Islam is in harmony with the Left. Critises anything except the religion thats foundation is specifically dening the ressurection and diety of Christ, or, anyone who is "offended".

Its not hard to see.

Your talking about the blame game, always someone else fault. Adam blammed Eve, Eve blammed the Serpanator,the Serpanator blammed?. Cain was jelous and decided to flip out. It's just a mess.

Mankind, blaming and flipping out on one another since before the stone age.
