This was posted on another forum, which I answer below. I thought I would share....
Therefore, we are not looking at a literal Temple to be bult for the worship of God as the Temple of Solomon was. The building of the Tabernacle, and the building of the Temple, as well as its rebuilding, were supported by a number of relevant Scripture passages. But we see nothing in the Scriptures about the rebuilding of yet another Temple.
In fact, we have Scriptures, particularly, Hebrews, which speak of the dissolution of the old Temple system, rendering any NT Temple virtually impossible. If another Temple is to be built at all, it will not be sanctioned by God.
I know the orthodox Jews want to build a new Temple, but what a disaster that will cause in the midst of the Arab/Muslim world! Will a temple be placed on the Temple Mount dedicated to God that serve either Jews or Muslims and provide a place for Antichrist to take his seat in? Perhaps. 2 Thes 2 seems to suggest that...
I just finished answering a question about this elsewhere. Looking at a number of references to the temple and its furniture in the Revelation I concluded that the Temple in Heaven John saw was like Ezekiel's Temple, which presented the Temple of Law but only in the form of a vision.1st question... Will the 3rd Temple be re-built before, or after, the rapture?
2nd question... why doesn't Israel just go ahead and mow down the dome of the rock and get on with rebuilding already? Are they that scared of the surrounding muslim nations? One would think from their victories over larger armies in the past it would produce more confidence in pursuing their destiny, no?
Thanks
