Do We Need A Third Temple ???

I have written numerous times about Israel's intention to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

The popular narrative now runs something like this:

"We Christians have often thought that Resurrection Sunday spelled the end for the Holy Temple in God’s plan," Enarson explained. "But when we read the Gospels and Book of Acts carefully, the Apostles continued to be passionate for God’s House in Jerusalem, including Paul. As God is restoring Zion, we need to rediscover our own texts with Jewish glasses, and that includes God’s Temple."

With more Christians coming alongside the Jews and becoming passionate about the need to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, we have a unique opportunity today.

Do you buy this? I have serious reservations. Why? Read the Book of Revelation. It directly contradicts the claims quoted above.

As I understand the Book of Revelation, the chief reason for rebuilding the Temple now is so the Antichrist can tear it down. Then, following the Day of the Lord, a new Jerusalem will descend from heaven to replace the existing city, and it will not contain a temple built by the hands of man.

Today's Jews certainly do not believe that. Once they build the Third Temple, they intend to rule the world from Jerusalem. They would never voluntarily let it be torn down, and they will never allow Christian beliefs to get in the way of their intentions.

There are other significant contradictions between the Christian view of the End Times and the Jewish view. You can find some of them here (see also the links at the end of that page):

Bottom line - Many of today's Jews are misconstruing what the New Testament says. In fact, they even appear to be ignoring it. To them, Jesus is a heretic and Christians are slanderers. That view hasn't changed in 2,000 years, and it's never going to change. Wake up before they steamroll us out of existence.

This will all go according to G-d's plan, but if you were to ask Jews, Christians, and Muslims what that plan is, you'd get at least three different answers. They cannot all be correct, can they?

So who's got it wrong?

Note well - the words Jesus Christ appear nowhere in this story about Jerusalem. Why is that?

As far as the Israelis are concerned, the New Testament means nothing. Our role as Christians seems to be "sign the checks and keep your mouths shut". Keep that in mind as these End Time events unfold.
