Man of Sin not in a physical temple

Rev 11 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.

the reason the Jews will once again hold the Temple Mount will be the false prophet and anti-Christ. To fulfill the prophet Malachi’s prophecy of the Prophet Elijah preparing the way for what they believe is the Messiah. The false prophet we are told is at work in the world denying the Christ. Like the Holy Spirit we see the fruit of what he does denying the Christ and preparing the way of the evil one. We are told the false prophet does many signs and wonders but there is only one identified “bringing fire down from heaven.” Elijah did that and when this fals prophet does it only a faithful remnant will not believe this is what it appears to be. The Lord told us that He saw Satan fall like lightening from the sky. This will be the form anti-Christ will come in a imitation of the Shekinah Glory. There will be no doubt in anyone other than the faithful remnant that does not believe this great delusion.

the Gentiles will not only not control Israel, Israel will be the Queen to Anti-Christ’s King, see Isaiah chapters 1- 5. She is shown on the Day of the Lord rich, powerful and completely apostate this is during the time when anti-Christ allows no one to buy or sell and as seen in Isaiah it is the time when the Lord ascends “in all His glory.” That does not happen until He comes in Glory as King of kings and Lord of lords.paul wrote about rebuilding the wall of separation in the temple as being sin and it is clearly dividing Jew and Gentile. The Lord’s intention has always the two becoming one.

not to be picky the Land actually belongs to the Seed of Abraham, Jesus the Christ of God. In the parable about the tenant farmers, Israel, they had killed those sent by the owner until He, God the Father, sent His Son. But the renters said this is the heir let’s kill Him and the Land would be theirs."

I agree with most of what you say here, but what will be the purpose of building another Temple made by hands as Jesus said "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16. What sacrifices could the Jews possibly make as Jesus was made the final sacrifice for all who will believe in Him by faith through God's grace.

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

The Temple Mount is of God and always will be even though during its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. The Muslims have desecrated it by building their Dome of the Rock on the very Temple mount of God and they will never hand it back over to the Jews as like I said in my other post it is even now being refurbished as it is being prepared for the son of perdition to come and take his literal seat on the throne he now sits on. 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4.

I'm not going to say who the son of perdition is who is the beast out of the earth in Rev 13, but think about who it has always been that have persecuted God's even unto the martyr's death. Daniel prophesied of the son of perdition in Daniel 7 being the succession of the four Empires as the last one still exist today since it's deadly wound was healed in 1929.

The reason a physical temple will be needed and built is apostate Israel still look for their Messiah having rejected the Lord Jesus.

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

But there will be a new heaven and a new earth because sin is so permeating the physical creation it cannot be saved it must be reborn spiritually.as will new Jerusalem. The promise is that anti-Christ will come to a literal temple deceive the apostate portion of Israel. The apostate portion takes anti-Christ and this will be her last act of harlotry and anti-Christ will destroy apostate Israel. This will bring the Lord back on what we know is the Tribulation.all of the apostate portion is killed by anti-Christ and his army. When the Lord returns He stands on the mount of Olives which splits in two forming a valley through the Mount of Olives that the faithful remnant escapes through. With the return of Chrust and His defeat of anti-Christ the last Week of Years foretold by Gabriel through Daniel comes to an end. T

Daniel prophesied of the son of perdition in Daniel 7 being the succession of the four Empires as the last one still exist today since it's deadly wound was healed in 1929. if I had to venture a guess who the son of perdition is I would say Judas. That’s another story. now all of The apostate of Israel has been burned away by the attack of anti-Christ. All that is left on the earth are the faithful Remnant who has become the royal priesthood who will serve in the millennial Temple. All these are in what had been Jerusalem but the entire nation of Israel except the remnant has been judged and the prophecy first to the Jew then to the Gentile is half fulfilled. The Lord reigns a thousand years when Satan is released to deceive the Gentile nations, Gog and Magog, who he leads against the millennial temple and the Gentile nations are destroyed except for a remnant who are saved. The prophecy of the Gentiles being judged after Israel has just came true. At the same time the remnant of the Jews was saved before the remnant of Gentiles was by a thousand years. With Satan, anti-Christ and the false prophet are all thrown in the LOF the Great White Throne Judgment takes place and all men not written in the Book of Life are also thrown in the Lake forever.

there is a Day of the Lord that happens in what is known to us as the Tribulation but is known in O.T. As The Time of Jacob’s Trouble . This ends the seven year period from the coming of anti-Christ and the coming of the Lord. Then a thousand years later comes The Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord which is the tribulation that’s is unlike anything done or to be done. Joel speaks of this time and this is the time of the Gentiles and if the Lord had not cut these days short no one would survive.
 
The temple of God are Christians themselves according to the new testament.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

2Th 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;
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.

Paul wrote both of these which could imply he intended temple of God to always represent Christians.

Look how closely associated the Apostasy is to this false God sitting in the temple of God claiming to be God. That's no coincidence. It is believing this one is God, inside their soul letting this belief into them, into their own personal temple of God, replacing God with a false God that causes and is the Apostasy or falling away from the true God.
 
The flesh and blood man of sin, has the ability to be omnipresent, which means he is able to occupy all the Christians on planet earth, at the same time.

Not all Christians only the ones who fall away to him. The spirit of has been in many people so being in many people in GT is no impossible thing.

1Jn_4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The man of sin is able to make the Holy Spirit leave all these Christians he occupies, so he can work his false lying wonders that is according to Satan, through them.

Not "make HS leave" but naturally HS will not dwell someone who is accepting the spirit of AC.


The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 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 Thessalonians 2:9-10


I just don’t think this will be the case.

"according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception" makes it very plausible.
 
1Jn_4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.


Yes, the text book definition of antichrist, is a person rejecting Jesus as Messiah (Christ).

Many people in the world reject Jesus as Messiah, then and now.


However, I am referring to the Antichrist.


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. 1 John 2:18

The are many antichrists.

There is one Antichrist; the Antichrist

He is called by many names, just as Jesus Christ is called by many names.


The Antichrist or false messiah, will be revealed when he goes to the Temple and proclaims himself as God; as the Messiah.


He will deceive those who believe if they build the temple, then the Messiah will come.

The Jews who practice Judaism are wanting to do this very thing.

Just when I thought I have seen almost all positions someone comes along as you did with something different.
I disagree with your understanding.
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
Still a future event.
Zech 14 shows invading armies attacking Jerusalem with the mount of olives being split in two to make a away of escape from those surrounding armies. It also speaks of a unique day. A day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. Clearly the last day Jesus spoke of. Those armies are slain by the lord not any man. The beast does not rise by human power alone nor is he destroyed by human power.

that is an interesting thought. anti-Christ is returning from the Abyss with his fallen angels. They could do some major alterations. Apostate Israel will sit as Queen to anti=Christ's King for 3 and a half years. We will find out. Nice to know the Millennial Temple will take up about the entire area of present day Jerusalem. I don't believe that Dome of the Rock is going to survive that encounter if still there.
 
The literal temple is destroyed. It all started in 66CE unrest and went for 3.5 years until the temple was destroyed in 70CE.

Scripture says of the literal 2nd temple being destroyed by the Romans and the true temple of God being within people.

Yes, The literal temple was destroyed.

It will be rebuilt again just as it was rebuilt in the past and resume sacrifices.

The antichrist will go to the Temple and proclaim himself as God.

I don't think a 3rd material temple has anything to do with anything. Jesus said about the temple that was already standing. There is nothing about another temple Jesus or others talk about except the kingdom of God is within you, you are the temple, and the temple dwells within you, that I'm guessing is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God.

Only Paul about the man of sin sitting in the temple when he also claims people are the temple, the temple in revelation that was measured, and the kingdom that has no temple because God is the temple. That is spiritually speaking.

How.on earth with no facts or scientific proof did Christians come up with the belief that revelations was written sometime after 70ce.

The book was written about 95 AD. The date is suggested by clues in the visions pointing to the reign of the emperor Domitian.

People believe that.

Even if there is a 3rd temple it cannot be the "temple of God". Christ said the temple would be destroyed then rebuilt 3 days later, and that happened to his body. The body of Christ is the Church, which is also recorded by Paul which was in my previous post.

1Co_3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co_3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
