For those of you who have doubts about whether or not Israel is going to build their temple, I would suggest a visit to The Temple Institute website and which is physically located in Jerusalem. On this site you will find that the Sanhedrin has been reassembled for some years now, the priestly garments have been prepared according to the specifications written in the law, the ephod with the twelve stones, all of the furniture and articles of the temple, the table of the show bread, the oil lamps, trumpets, etc., etc., have all been prepared for the coming third temple.
I would suggest we must be careful in what we do with the flesh of a Jew.
As a new creation (Christians) we are informed to know no man after the flesh.
To begin with God is no respecter of persons, never was never, will be. The corrupted flesh of a Jew is not different than the corrupted flesh of a Gentile.
I think Acts 15 bears witness to the work of Christ’s faith working in them to both will and do His good pleasure. It I believe shows us no difference, nothing.
And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, “even as he did” unto us; And put no difference between “us and them”, purifying “their” hearts by faith. Act 15:9
No one doubts that those unbelievers will construct another temple. It just proves they believe Christ has not come in the flesh and would be looking for another Jesus, another gospel. It would seem the un believing Jew could be represented in 2 John?
2John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that “Jesus Christ” is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an “antichrist”.
The time of reformation had come; the veil was rent indicating He had come in the flesh. The veil being rent indicated the end of temple life that was previously used for a
time period to represent the suffering of Christ beforehand and the glory that did follow (the renting of the veil , and the first resurrection of the Old testament saints which we would enter today (to absent of the flesh is to be present with Christ) ,fast a sleep . It was used as a parable (a figure) of the true, not seen, the eternal.
As the gospel was preached beforehand, today we look back to the same gospel .
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1Pe 1:11
The reformation.
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. Heb 9:8
By faith we look at the things not seen (eternal). This work of God that he works in them is by the same Spirit of the faith, of Christ that works in us, it also worked in them purifying their hearts according to that work of faith. as a labor of His love.
Looking for Christ, the Holy Spirit of God to put on corrupted sinful flesh again. I would offer, to me it would be like crucifying Him over and over to public shame, as if one demonstration of Him pouring out His Spirit was not enough. To them the vail remains. 2 Corinthians 14 below indicates what is happening even today.
They need the gospel just as any other persons.
Not only Moses’ face was veiled, but his people’s minds and understanding were veiled and blinded too. Even now when the Scripture is read it seems as though Jewish hearts and minds are covered by a thick veil, because they cannot see and understand the real meaning of the Scriptures. For this veil of misunderstanding can be removed only by “believing in Christ”. Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings their hearts are blind and they think that obeying the Ten Commandments is the way to be saved. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord from his sins, then the veil is taken away. The Lord is the Spirit who gives them life, and where he is there is freedom from trying to be saved by keeping the laws of God. But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him. 2 Corinthians 3:14-18
Christ will come on the last day, the same day as the judgment. There will be no need for a future reign on earth .It will vanish on the last day, the seventh trumpet , and the new unorrupted heaven and earth will appear.
John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in "the resurrection" at the last day.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
The final trumpet on the same day of the second resurrection. This is when all believers will receive their new incorruptible bodies.
Last day. last trump
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised "incorruptible", and we shall be changed.
