This could be the date when the 3rd Temple will start being built. According to who??...according to centuries old rabbinical prophesies.

According to a centuries-old rabbinical prophecy that appears to be coming true, on March 16, 2010, Israel will begin construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

During the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon, a respected rabbinical authority, prophesied that the Hurva Synagoge in Jerusalem, which was built during his day, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice, and that when the Hurva was completed for the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.

The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed shortly after its initial construction when Muslims demanding the return of loans tore it down. The synagogue was rebuilt a hundred years later and became the most important Jewish house of worship in the Holy Land, only be blown to pieces by Jordanian troops during Israel's 1948 War of Independence.

In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the landmark, which today stands in the center of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City. The building is scheduled to be completed and the Hurva Synagogue dedicated for the third time on March 15 of next year.

I have absolutely NO IDEA if this has any chance of coming true....as of course no dates are anywhere in the Bible that you and I read in regards to Temple construction.

However, we will need to mark March of 2010 in our calendars and check on this ancient Jewish prophecy.

One thing for sure....if it does come true, we REALLY will be praying for Jesus to come and take us home....because the Antichrist and the Tribulation will not be far behind the building of the 3rd Temple.
