Will there be a third temple built in the End Time by the Jews or Antichrist?

[Alfred Persson]

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (Matt. 24:1-2 KJV)

If a rebuilt temple was a sign of the end-time, then Jesus would have squeezed that prophecy into the context. "Not one stone upon another" or "state of total-destruction and non-use" is the sign of the end-time and that sign persists to this day.

Confirming this, Paul never called the Jewish Temple "the temple of God" after he converted to Christ. He certainly wouldn't have called a temple built in the end-time by Christ rejecting Jews (or Antichrist) "the temple of God" (2 Th. 2:3-4)!

Some believe the Christ's reference to the "abomination of desolation" in Daniel 12:11 require the Temple be rebuilt:

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand )
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the (Matt. 24:15-16 KJV)

However, notice what Christ (or the Holy Spirit) inserted: "whoso readeth, let him understand (Matt. 24:15). Why would Jesus ask readers [in the end-time] be granted understanding? The New Covenant in Christ's Blood changed the application of these terms because in the end-time the "Temple of God" and "Daily Sacrifice" would not be found in Christ rejecting Judaism.

If the "Abomination of Desolation" and "Daily Sacrifice" involved Judaism, Daniel would have understood these words clearly. He was an expert in all things Judaism.

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. (Dan. 12:7-13 KJV)

Daniel couldn't understand because time sealed the words: "Temple of God" "Daily Sacrifice" and "Abomination of Desolation" have new application in the New Covenant of Christ's blood:

The "saints" now include the greater "Israel of God" (Gal. 6:15-16), Jew and Gentile descendants of Abraham's seed (Gal. 3:27-29). The Temple priesthood and Daily Sacrifice are in the Christian Church. The Church is the Temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 2:21), Christians its priests (1 Pet. 2:5). We offer up "the Daily Sacrifice" (1 Pet. 2:5; Rom. 12:1; Lk. 9:23; Heb. 13:15).

The New Testament church has the "holy priesthood, to offer up "spiritual sacrifices" (πνευματικὰς θυσίας) acceptable to God" (1 Pet. 2:5). Christians "offer (399 ἀναφέρω anaphero) sacrifice (2378 θυσία thusia)" to God, the same word used in the Greek Septuagint to offer (399 ἀναφέρω anaphero) the "daily" (08548 תָּמִיד tamiyd) 1 Ch. 16:40; 23:31; 2 Ch. 2:3; 24:14 in the Hebrew version.

The Christian daily sacrifice is offered "continually" (1275 διαπαντός) to God. In Hebrews 13:1-17 the ethical exhortations being an expansion of the acceptable duties priests offer God daily (Heb. 12:28 λατρεύωμεν εὐαρέστως τῷ θεῷ).

Christ is our perpetual sacrifice for sin (Heb. 10:11-18), the daily sacrifice to Him is our "taking up the cross daily". The "apostasy" or "great revolt" that "takes away" (Dan. 12:11 05493 סוּר cuwr; 868 ἀφίστημι) the sacrifice is receiving the false Christ man of sin as "the Christ". Then the end time "week" of seven-years begins.

Irrelevant to Christ and Daniel' prophecy. If a third temple is built, it won't be the temple of God the Antichrist sits in. That's the apostate fallen away church.

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
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, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:2-4 KJV)

Context confirms this event separates the Chaff from the wheat, antichrists from Christians. Those who love their supernatural experiences and depend upon those revelations for truth, and those who love the Truth of Bible; Those who are indwelt by the mystery of iniquity, and those sanctified by the Holy Spirit who hold fast to the truth taught by the apostles orally and written that is found today only in the Bible:

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.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. (2 Thess. 2:9-15 KJV)

2Th 2:4

Some believe the Christ's reference to the "abomination of desolation" in Daniel 12:11 require the Temple be rebuilt:

It does, but the Temple is His body, which includes believers from Adam 'till the door is shut on judgment day.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand )
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the (Matt. 24:15-16 KJV)

However, notice what Christ (or the Holy Spirit) inserted: "whoso readeth, let him understand (Matt. 24:15). Why would Jesus ask readers [in the end-time] be granted understanding? The New Covenant in Christ's Blood changed the application of these terms because in the end-time the "Temple of God" and "Daily Sacrifice" would not be found in Christ rejecting Judaism.

Or would they be found in any heresy that contradicts living in sacrifice to God daily. Anyone who teaches otherwise is taking the daily sacrifice away.

If the "Abomination of Desolation" and "Daily Sacrifice" involved Judaism, Daniel would have understood these words clearly. He was an expert in all things Judaism.

Daniel wouldn't defile himself with the kings' food, so we can assume he observed the law. What matters is that Daniel was a believer.

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

So Daniel didn't how everything tied together. It wasn't for him to understand.

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

And now by the Messiah defeating all foes the Book is opened.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

That's about 3 1/2 years. If our Saviors public ministry lasted 42 months it could easily refer to that in a spiritual sense.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

45 days. That sounds very clise to Pentecost.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. (Dan. 12:7-13 KJV)

Its prophetic about the end-time, not since Adam.

Daniel had no problems understanding the defilement of the Temple by foreigners, he was in exile in Babylon. Antiochus and his abominations didn't cause Daniel to be confused. Its only when these same words describe a Temple of God in the end-time, during the New Covenant that the terms used didn't match up with his knowledge.

The angel explained why, end-time events unseal the words. In the NT Paul transfers everything about the old Temple to the Church.

The wicked will be cast into Gehenna of fire, not become nothing.

2Th 2:4
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, shewing himself that he is God.

The "man of sin, son of perdition" has ancestry that is both Jewish and Grecian, tracing back to Antiochus.

Chapter 7-11 connects Antiochus as the forerunner of the Antichrist, not only as a type but because John's 666 riddle shows the Antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew named Adonikam, who goes against the "God of his fathers" which is a phrase that refers to Jews (Dan. 11:37). Like Judas, he betrays Christ but is called the "son of Destruction" because he is the literal seed of Satan:

NKJ Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." (Gen. 3:15 NKJ)

He will do miracles that deceive fallen away Christendom he is "the Christ". As the "man of sin" he CONDONES all sin, claiming God is ok with it and that is why the world will follow him. He will tickle their ears, tell them what they want to hear, and do miracles as "proof" its all approved by God.

I'm beginning to suspect Israel's present war with Hezbollah and Hamas will end in total victory for Israel, the terrorists completely defeated. Even the Lebanese want to be rid of them.

This would set up the end time scenario of an Israel at peace with her neighbors, just before Gog and Magog attack. Iran will be part of that attack.

 

[LeviR]

The "man of sin, son of perdition" has ancestry that is both Jewish and Grecian, tracing back to Antiochus. He will do miracles, that's why fallen away Christendom heralds him as "the Christ".

He will tickle their ears, tell them what they want to hear, and do miracles as "proof" its all approved by God.

There is no such thing as fallen away Christendom because each individual is called on to believe the gospel and be baptized. He who believes shall be saved.
Believing a false gospel saves no one. And one who believes a false gospel is not one who falls away.
If one believes the true gospel and falls away he will be judged alone.
The Jews however, are under covenant as a people.

Believing a false gospel saves no one. And one who believes a false gospel is not one who falls away.
If one believes the true gospel and falls away he will be judged alone.
The Jews however, are under covenant as a people.

Throughout the NT Paul, Peter, Jude and John speak of former believers who become mockers. Peter notes they willfully forget the Creation account, which implies they once believed it:

2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,
4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, (2 Pet. 3:2-5 NKJ)

Paul says the Lawless One appears after the "falling away", in Greek it refers to religious apostasy, rebellion against what was once believed true:

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:3-4 NKJ)

Only an apostate Church would accept the Antichrist as Christ.

Christendom includes everyone professing Christ, TARES and WHEAT: Children of the Devil who think they are Christians, and actual Christians. When the TARES reject the historic doctrines of Christianity it is a religious apostasy, a "FALLING AWAY from the truth."

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 "The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
39 "The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
40 "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
41 "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
42 "and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matt. 13:36-43 NKJ)

Christendom is part of the "church of God". Paul never let the presence of TARES in any congregation stop him from calling local churches the "church of God." There is overlap, but the genuine church is not deceived by the false Christ, they don't accept him. Its the TARES in Christendom that do.

The context in Thessalonians identifies what the "mystery of lawlessness" or demonic "influence that causes delusion", it is the spiritual wickedness that upset the Thessalonians they were left behind---the spurious prophetic words, epistles and demonic telepathic suggestion the Day of Christ had passed (Comp. 2 Tim. 2:18):

not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. (2 Thess. 2:2 NKJ)

In a church pastored by John an end-time like apostasy occurred that is so like what will happen in the End Time, John likens it to "the Last Hour":

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
(1 Jn. 2:18-19 NKJ)

In scripture there are "two phases" of Antichrist, the first 3.5 years he the lion's mouth ruling the Beast Empire, the false Christ conquering the earth with lies riding a white horse; At midweek he become the Big Mouth Blasphemer betraying all appearance of being Christ, ending the world's sacrifices to any deity and he declare he is the Antichrist seed of Satan and he blasphemes God and His heavenly Host as nothing.

NKJ Revelation 13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. (Rev. 13:1-6 NKJ)

As their Messiah what else do you believe antichrist would do for them but the #1 thing they have wanted for a couple thousand years.
To practice their religion on the Temple mount ?

 

[LeviR]

He is called "antichrist" because he will come to the Jews as their Messiah & will be received by them, where as the real Messiah was rejected by them:

John 5:43
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive

As their Messiah what else do you believe antichrist would do for them but the #1 thing they have wanted for a couple thousand years.
To practice their religion on the Temple mount ?

The man of sin who is Antichrist is a Jew. He will claim to be God and sit in the Temple proclaiming himself as such.
This is yet another falling away of the Jews. But a remnant will be saved.

No. The temple is a rejection of the sacrifice of Christ. To disguise himself as "the Christ" he cannot legitimize the temple sacrifices at all.

And he can't ignore history completely, come up with a new Jewish religion. He is a false Christ. A counterfeit dollar looks and feels like a real dollar, the difference between the two can't be too great or the deception won't work.

By working miracles he gets followers. He conquers the earth, without arrows in his bow, therefore by peaceful means. He tickles ears, tells people what they want to hear, and does miracles to "prove" God is OK with the sin. That is why he is the "man OF sin", he springs from it, is awash in it, condones it.

The only Temple of God the false Christ wants to corrupt and destroy is the Church.

 

[Alfred Persson]

The man of sin who is Antichrist is a Jew. He will claim to be God and sit in the Temple proclaiming himself as such.
This is yet another falling away of the Jews. But a remnant will be saved.

Actually, its Christendom (not the real church) that is totally deceived. It appears many Jews will convert to the real Christ in the End Time, because of the preaching of God's Army, the 144,000 born again Jews who will disciple them.

Its true many Jews accepted false Christs in the first few centuries, and some will in the end time, but history is a great teacher. Everything prophesied in Scripture will convincingly prove JESUS is the Christ.

So I believe many more than a remnant will be saved, along with people from every nation:

NKJ Revelation 7:1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.
2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(Rev. 7:1-14 NKJ)

You don't understand the Jewish belief in their Messiah.
He will not come to them saying he came down from heaven and that God is his father & he comes in the fathers name, and "before Abraham was I AM" .
Saying that is what caused Jesus to be hounded onto a cross.
"anti" means "anti"
No, the antichrist will come to the Jews the way they have been expecting him all along .
Not as Jesus came.
anti-christ will come being born of an earthly man & woman.
If he came to the Jews as Jesus did, telling them the condemnatory things that Jesus did , He would find himself nailed to a cross in like manner

Do we agree the 144,000 will be Jews who are the true believers and who will refuse to worship the beast and his image?

If only the Jews are prophesied to be deceived, you made a good case. But Jesus warned His disciples not to be deceived, that many would come in His name:

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 "For many will come in My name, saying,`I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. (Matt. 24:4-5 NKJ)

A "name" is more than a label. The deceiver comes in Christ's Name, claiming to be Him, therefore the claims Christ made the Jews found objectionable can't be "retracted". Then its not Christ's name.

ANTICHRIST
antichristos (ἀντίχριστος, 500) can mean either “against Christ” or “instead of Christ,” or perhaps, combining the two, “one who, assuming the guise of Christ, opposes Christ”-Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., White, W., Jr. (1996). In Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Vol. 2, p. 30). T. Nelson.

Its the signs and wonders the Antichrist does "showing himself that he is God" that convinces the apostates.

4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:4 NKJ)

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thess. 2:9-10 NKJ)

The NIV and others translate "lying wonders" as "fake, counterfeit" wonders and perhaps many of them will be. But the Greek allows a more subtle meaning that fits the context better, these "wonders lie" meaning they support the lying claim of Deity. All of Satan's power does these miracles, so its more likely they are real miracles (at least from our perspective). Satan cannot duplicate obedience to the Word of God, or he is divided against himself:

32 "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
NKJ Deuteronomy 13:1 "If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 "and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying,`Let us go after other gods'-- which you have not known--`and let us serve them,'
3 "you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 "You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. (Deut. 12:32-13:4 NKJ)

God will lift the restraint on Satan's power, in effect "sending a deluding influence" that will deceive the earth the Antichrist is Christ:

6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thess. 2:6-12 NKJ)


Healings (which non-Christian religions report they do) and other miracles, are well within Satan's power.

Satan duplicated the miracle of changing a rod into a serpent, and it wasn't an illusion because they were eaten by Aaron's rod:

10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
(Exod. 7:10-12 NKJ)

 

[Alfred Persson]

Do we agree the 144,000 will be Jews who are the true believers and who will refuse to worship the beast and his image?

Yes. They are Christ's army, believing born again Jews from the twelve tribes. Through them and God's Two Witnesses the Holy Spirit will be poured out on the church. They will prophesy and accomplish what Christendom failed to do---turn the world on fire for Christ, especially Israel.

16 "But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 `And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.' (Acts 2:16-21 NKJ)


After listing the divisions (144,000: 12 thousand from each tribe Rev. 7:1-8), what they accomplished is revealed:

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:9-14 NKJ)

 

[journeymanisnothing]

Its prophetic about the end-time, not since Adam.

Daniel had no problems understanding the defilement of the Temple by foreigners, he was in exile in Babylon. Antiochus and his abominations didn't cause Daniel to be confused. Its only when these same words describe a Temple of God in the end-time, during the New Covenant that the terms used didn't match up with his knowledge.

The angel explained why, end-time events unseal the words. In the NT Paul transfers everything about the old Temple to the Church.

No he expanded Christs' body to include gentiles. The church is one body of members from beginning to end regardless of race.

The wicked will be cast into Gehenna of fire, not become nothing.

I was indoctrinated with the belief that God permits unending torment but when other scripture is examined, torment is experienced as the sins of the unrepentant are exposed by the light of Christ.
