Calls Come From Israel to Build Third Temple
We know that the 3rd Temple has to be built in Jerusalem. Why do we know that??
Because the Antichrist will one day sit in that 3rd Temple and declare himself to be God.
But will we followers of Jesus ever see the Antichrist sitting in that 3rd Temple?
Nope!
Why?
Because the RESTRAINER needs to be removed before the Antichrist is revealed.
2 Thessalonians 2
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him (Antichrist) back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one (The Church=Salt and light) who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. (at the Rapture) 8 And then (after the Rapture) the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. (read Revelation 19)
So let me ask you a question....if the talk of building a 3rd Temple starts to be in our headline news...couldn't this be one more converging sign that signals to us that the Great Tribulation must be close??
And if that Great Tribulation is close...then how much closer is the Rapture of the Church??
Minister calls for third Temple to be built
A government minister from a nationalist religious party called Thursday for the Jewish Temple to be rebuilt on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
The statement from Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) breaks a long-standing taboo on high-ranking government officials speaking about changing the fragile status quo on the holy and contested esplanade, and will likely draw ire from official Israeli circles and anger the Arab and Muslim world.
Speaking at an archaeological conference next to the West Bank settlement of Shilo and quoted by Maariv, Ariel called for a third Temple to be built on the site, which today is home to the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque and is considered Judaism’s holiest site and Islam’s third holiest.
“We’ve built many little, little temples,” Ariel said, referring to synagogues, “but we need to build a real Temple on the Temple Mount.”
The Jerusalem site was home to Judaism’s first and second Temples, both of which were destroyed, the second one in 70 CE. The idea of building a third Temple, while popular among some religious and right-wing Jews, is considered outside mainstream Israeli discourse by most.

There can be no doubt...we ARE living in interesting times!
Now let's get out there and spread the Gospel!! Let's work while we STILL HAVE LIGHT!! There should be NO ONE sitting around in their bunker, hoarding bullets and canned goods while hoping the trumpet will blow!! This is a time for action!! Not a time for inaction!! This is a time for urgency and excitement!! Not a time for fear and timidity.

How come Jesus, Paul, and the New Testament writers all failed to mention a rebuilt 3rd temple in Jerusalem? Seems like a pretty important piece of information to leave out. Come to think of it, Jesus informs us that HE is the True Temple. See John 2:19-22.
Calling for a rebuilt 3rd Temple equates to sacrificing Jesus all over again, because it represents a denial of what He accomplished on the Cross (which was written according to the Scriptures).
According to Acts 2:29-31, with Christ's resurrection, HE IS ALREADY SEATED on David's throne.
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah..."
If you don't "see" that Jesus is already reigning from David's throne, ask the Lord to open your eyes. He will.
And as to any thought of reinstituted animal sacrifices (which is another denial of Christ's finished work on the Cross), well the writer of Hebrews says this is ridiculous because the first covenant has been made obsolete. See Hebrews 8:13 and chapters 9&10.
Hi Anonymous,
why would Jesus, Paul or New Testament writers want to say anything about a 3rd Temple when it really has nothing to do with The Church? The Temple is going to happen for ISRAEL and the JEWS.
I think you are scripturally aware that Israel and the Jews have been partially blinded and certainly you know that most have not accepted Christ as Messiah....so of course they are going to call for a Temple...because they haven't been allowed to sacrifice to atone for their sins.
So be clear here...I'm not calling for a Temple...THE JEWS ARE!!...and Prophecy says it's going to happen!
If you can't clearly see the dispensations that are clearly laid out in the Bible, then ask the Lord to open your eyes and He will.
Honestly, I'm not really sure how you can't understand that the Jews haven't accepted Christ as it's kind of common knowledge...so many Jews are are still attempting to live by The Law...and they want to have a Temple and sacrifice animals.
God is not done with Israel. After the rapture of the church (ending the age of grace) the 70th week of Daniel WILL PLAY OUT.
"He (Antichrist) will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven' (7 Jewish years). In the middle of the 'seven' he (Antichrist) will put an end to the sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the Temple, he (Antichrist) will put up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. (Antichrist) Daniel 9:27
Now go to Revelation 19 and read what Jesus will do to pour out the decree.
So clearly animal sacrifice IS COMING BACK TO ISRAEL.
Rightly dividing scripture is to properly understand who is speaking to whom and for what reasons...Church or Israel?
The Church is NEVER ISRAEL and the OT NEVER foretold of The Church...so Israel is NEVER THE CHURCH. It was a MYSTERY that was revealed to Paul...an Apostle to the Gentiles. And when all the gentiles have come in....the hour glass will start ticking again for Israel and the Jews. (70th Week of Daniel)
I would encourage you to RE READ ROMANS chapters 9-11
"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,"
So ironic, Romans 9-11 completely destroys your heretical dispensationalism, which was created out of thin air by a disillusioned Anglican priest named John Nutball Darby in 1830. Do your homework. Jesus Christ himself destroys any idea of a rebuilt Judaism when he lays the axe to the root of Jerusalem/ Judaism. In Matthew 23:38 Jesus tells the house of Judaism “YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLUTE.” To say it will be re-gathered is to mock Christ. Do you really want to mock Christ?
Romans 9:6: “But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring”
Romans 10:12-13 "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”"
Romans 11:17 “But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.”
God's Word has not failed...true Israel was not national OT Israel. “True Israel” is Jesus Christ, therefore all those who are in Christ are true Israel (the remnant). The church IS true Israel!! How dare you say it was never foretold of in the OT. That’s like saying Jesus was never prophesied of in the OT. You have a complete misunderstanding of what the true church is all about. It’s believers in Christ. And yes, OT saints were saved only by faith in Christ (not works as you claim), otherwise Christ death was unnecessary (Galatians 2:21).
In fact, Paul uses Abraham as the paradigm for faith (OT and NT). Romans 4 says, “For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 9 “For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.” The fact of the matter is that Abraham was a Christian!
Jesus is the only way to the Father. Christ is the root (Romans 11), not Judaism. There is no plan B for the Jews. They need to see Christ at the Cross (past) by faith, not by sight. Christ has come once for all people, Jew and Greek. If Jews require visible signs (just like their unbelieving fathers who were completely rebuked by Jesus) then that negates faith because faith is not by sight. You might learn something from that as you busily scroll the internet for “signs of the times”.
Claiming that temple sacrifices are coming back is to elevate the types and shadows of the OT. The full realities of which, however, were fulfilled in Christ. You deny Christ when you call for future temple sacrifices. I hope you see the heresy in your theology. You are actually against Scripture and Christ.
Hey Anonymous,
please re read the article...THE JEWS ARE CALLING FOR THE THIRD TEMPLE...not me. I don't plan on going to Israel to sacrifice animals. Please remember that most Jews have not accepted Christ and are still living under OT LAW and would like to start sacrificing again. Makes sense right? If Christ hadn't come, wouldn't you be calling for the same thing??
Remember, we are called to RIGHTLY DIVIDED SCRIPTURE. Clearly Daniel told us that there WILL BE ANOTHER TEMPLE and clearly Jesus said so as well. He warned the future Jews who would see the abomination happening in THE TEMPLE to flee for the hills...because that would be THEIR SIGN that Antichrist was NOT WHO he claims to be.
So you can call me a heretic and I can call you a heretic and what really is accomplished?
Clearly you don't understand how to divide scripture and are biblically illiterate....and clearly you think the same of me...so maybe you're a heretical preterist??...and you say I'm a heretical dispensationalist. We will both need to give an account to Christ for OUR UNDERSTANDING of scripture.
I try not to debate preterists as it doesn't seem to be a good use of time. I'm not changing because of anything you say...and I assume the same would be true for you. So go in peace and serve the Lord. There are lots of lost souls that need Christ...and preterism vs. dispensationalism IS NOT a SALVATION ISSUE...neither is it a salvation issue if the Jews want to build a third Temple...which they will.
