Prior to the return of Christ, will a third temple be built in Israel?

heck. if Israel gets the 'go-ahead' to build the temple... they'll have it up in two weeks. they got everything ready... the anti-christ will stand in the temple and claim to be God. right? (maybe some scripture would be good to go with this... i'll start looking and post back... if somebody hasn't already...)

 

Solomon's Temple

Zerubbabel's Temple (Decree of Cyrus)

Herod's Temple?

 

Herod's Temple was not classified or considered as the third. It was a rennovation of the second.

 

Just a note I have done a short study of the temple and though this may sound weird I have come to the conclusion (based on Old Tesatment types) that the third Temple must be built on Golgatha and not where the Muslim Dome is. Based on the temple on earth being patterned after the temple in heaven and Jesus being the High priest and sacrifice (Lamb of God) Christ's blood had to be spilt in the proper place (the brazen altar) in the entrance of the temple and we come through his blood to be declared clean and then can offer up prayer of incense and enter boldly into the Holy of Holies.

Therefore I believe the third temple must be built on Golgatha. What do you all think?

 

Maybe if Christians build it. I don't know what Jewish people would think about that.

Interesting video (media player) on what one Rabi thinks.

 

Prior to the return of Christ, will a third temple be built in Israel?

Yes. 35% (9)
No. 35% (9)
Unsure. 31% (8)

 

The Anti-Christ will sit in the temple.
2 Thessalonians 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.

This will happen prior to the return of Christ.

 

Will a third temple be built?

No.

 

I checked 'unsure'.
It does NOT mean i'm unsure,
it means the question is flawed.

Jesus will return for the Church Age
saints at the pretribulatin rapture.

the 3rd temple will be built.

Jesus will return to destroy the
Antichrist and set up a literal/physical
millinnial Messanic Kingdom.

So the answer is:
Yes, the 3ed temple will built
both before and after returns of Jesus.

 

The third and final temple has already has been built on Golgotha.



Mark 14:58 "I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. "

John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. "

Hebrews 9:8 "The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
