And since all these things are for the time of the end, these prophecies have not been fulfilled and won't be fulfilled until the time of the end

I suppose they could build a temple, but it could never actually be a Temple of God since God did away with temple worship and now the Temple of God is the church.
You are correct Samuel, the temple of God is the Church. The nation Israel is not the church. And God has unfinished prophesies with Israel and her holy city Jerusalem, which he will be fulfilled during that last seven years.

Hey EG: Do you understand what precedent means? We understand what God will do and what God will not do by precedent. In other words, if God gives us a clear in context example of what He will do and what He will not do, then we can judge from that when we are wondering what God may do in the future. We have precedent on Temple building, first the tabernacle, then first Temple, then reconstructing the second Temple. In all cases these things were done by people who were saved(if you will), Godly folks who would go be with God when they died. Therefore we understand from that precedent that a Temple of God can only be built by men of God. Now, the Jews who have rejected Christ are headed for hell, they are not Godly people, therefore there is no reason from scripture to believe that God COULD allow then to build an actual Temple of God. Also, God has said that His present Temple is the church, so the Temple of God already exists.
Well since Haggai 2 already declares all unclean, it is a wonder that men are "training to become priests"


and by the way, are these "training priests" also architects?

because as THE WORD given to those who should know THE WORD, showed
that no man could just lay a hand to building the temple

They had to be priests and they had to prove their priestly line by supplying credentials

if they didn't have them, they had no part in building the temple

so here we have those who had GOD's WORD disobeying the book of Ezra and Haggai 2

Why can human beings not build a temple on Zion?
The same reason why no man could approach the HOLY presence of GOD unless they were specifically called washed and consecrated/set apart/marked as belonging to GOD to do so

and those who have been washed won't be building an earthly temple

The Shekinah Glory has left the temple.

and who will be reigning during this time?
who...makes up those who have a part in the first resurrection?
The following are who are mentioned as ruling with Christ during His thousand year reign:

The Church:
"To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star!"

The Male Child/144,000:
"
She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne."

The Great Tribulation Saints:
"
This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years."

who...makes up those who have a part in the first resurrection?
The Church at the Lord's appearing

The Male Child/144,000 (caught up)

The Two witnesses

The great tribulation saints

These above are all stages of the first resurrection.

Everyone who does not take part in the last resurrection at the great white throne judgment belongs to the first resurrection.

There will be wrath for both Jew and Gentile unbelievers. However, there will be both Jew and Gentile who God will spare through the time of His wrath. The woman of Rev.12 represents unbelieving Israel who will flee out into the wilderness and will be cared for 1260 i.e. that last 3 1/2 years until Christ returns. Likewise, many of the great tribulation saints will be killed, but there will also be those who will survive to the end.

Both those who survive of Israel and those great tribulation saints, will be those who will repopulate the earth during the millennial period.
Will both of these (the church) and those who come to faith in CHRIST during the tribulation (who either died or are standing after the great tribulation) have "WHITE ROBES"

And a part in the first resurrection

What about those who died in the LORD (from now on) whose "works" will proceed them?

those referred to in revelation 14:13

God's Shekinah Glory doesn't have to reside in the temple in order to fulfill that last seven years that was decreed upon Israel her holy city.

The Temple is now in Heaven, so earthly simulacra are irrelevant.

God has simply forbidden the Legalists from rebuilding a Temple (which will deceive a lot of people) until now.

Who is the NEW JERUSALEM comprised of as mentioned in revelation 21?

Your quote above is from the following scripture:

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

The above scripture is referring to the great tribulation saints.

Regarding the above, here is a challenge for you Miknik5, see how many times the word "Church" appears from Revelation chapter 4 onward. Likewise, see how many times the word "Saints" appears throughout chapters 1 thru 3.

Saved Israel, The church, the Male Child/144,000, the great tribulation saints and anyone whose name is found written in the book of life.

Just Keep watching, because it is going to happen before your very eyes. You will also see a political ruler make a seven year covenant with Israel, which will allow them to build their temple. When you see this take place, then know that the seven years have begun and God's wrath with it.

So then, according to you, we know the time Jesus returns, to be the end of the 70th week.

We all know that no-one knows the day not hour of Jesus' return.

As i have already shown you are in error on Daniel's 70th week. But hey ho, i might just as well bang my head against the proverbial wall.

So if all have the same WHITE ROBES (which signify faith in CHRIST's sacrifice for our salvation) why are you saying there is two programs

I guess it is dual boot...according to some people.

In Romans the Jewish question is "are we better than they?"

And Paul says, "No, we are ALL "hypo hamartia" - under sin."

One Gospel. One Christ. One Salvation
