All who are in Jesus Christ are living stones of the Temple with Jesus Christ as the Head and the Corner Stone. Without the head a stone is not living, so in this sense of what you have posted all is true. You form part of the temple of God.

Now with this in mind, the Head and the Corner Stone taken to heaven, what do you believe it means when it is said He will come back to rebuild His Temple? Have you not read also that the waalls of teh New Jerusalem are made up of those who believe Jesus Christ?

There are many mysteries yet to be revealed, and only when we are together with our Lord. To say we understand much without His presence is a mite boastful, though I will not sa others understaqnd a lot more than I, including yourself. I am just sounding off as a brother in Christ here, forgive that if it is not understood already. God bless you.

The bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is now the REAL TRUE EVERLASTING TEMPLE, ALTAR, SACRIFICE and the HIGH PRIEST. (JOHN 2:19; HEBREWS 4:14; 10:1-39)

The earthly is of no more value. God has a temple in heaven according to the Bible.

Revelation 11:19 KJV
(19) And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

You make sense, brother and from your posts which i have seen, i perceive you too have gotten understandings of the bible. I can feel it within my spirit. In the near future, will start up another thread with a topic i will like you to comment on. Like to read your thoughts concerning it. Thanks and may God continues to bless you. :)

There is one Solomon's Temple. The second was not the same, the one of Ezra's time. The third would be just "The Third Temple."

I figure you already know this, but a clarification here is in order for others. God bless you always in Jesus Christ.
I'm probably nit-picking here, but technically any new temple in Jerusalem would be #4. Zerubbabel's temple was taken down by Herod before Herod built his temple. "So Herod took away the old foundations, and laid others, and erected the temple upon them" (Josephus, Antiquities 15.11.3).

And this is obviously ignoring the other known Jewish/Israelite temples in Elephantine, Leontopolis, Samaria, Shiloh, Bethel, Dan, etc.. If you counted those, then any future temple would be something like #9.

The first Temple of God ordered to be made complete with details on the construction came to David and was complete by Solomon. The second was the rebuilding of the Temple of God, but not as the first, as a matter of fact the elders who remembered teh gloryof Solomonn's Temple wept because the new version in Ezra's time did not have the majesty and glory of the first. The Thrid Temple of God has not been built.

What both of you are doing is failing to see truth as multifaceted. (ex;Jesus is both a lion and a lamb...among many others)


You guys are arguing "either or" on a multifaceted truth.
IOW you both take a "part" and try to convince others it is your whole private truth.

Error big time

Ok...and it was taken down by Herod who then built another one in it's place.

The Thrid Temple of God has not been built.
Well, Herod built the third Israelite temple in Jerusalem. I know it's nitpicking, but I'm just going for accuracy here.

Not only did Herod technically build the 3rd one in Jerusalem, but during the 2nd Temple period there were known Jewish/Israelite Temples in Samaria, Leontopolis, and Elephantine.

Where does that "privatge truth" come from. I have agreed to have futrre correspondance with a brother in Christ,. I am not the one who is correct nor is h. Jesus Christ is sthe One Who is correct. We are seeking.

Since you seem to know what I am sharing better than I, please let me know eactly what I have said, because I do not derive what you are deriving so freely about me. kGod bless you.

Herod's Temple was the third temple. Though it was supposed to be a "remodel" the project far outstripped any pretense to "remodeling" and was quite realistically a new, or third, temple. It was still technically "under construction" during Jesus' ministry. The Tribulation Temple will be the fourth.

The Greek word used in the original texts of the NT is
ethnos,

This word has been used to mean other nations that are not Jewish, in which they use the term Gentile for as Gentiles are any other culture then that of the Jews.

Muslims are not Jews therefore the Dome of the Rock can not be a Jewish temple, and just to be biblically correct the bible says that those who deny the Son also deny the Father. Therefore the Dome of the Rock is not a temple to our Heavenly Father, because Muslims deny Jesus as the Son and as their Lord and Savior........

But have you alsö considered it from the other angle? :) Like, the temple no longer hold any use before God because of the sacrifice of "the Lamb". Notice that the prophesy in Revelation 11 says, Jerusalem had been given unto GENTILES. Remember, these are not all sinners. I believed Jerusalem was not given to the Gentiles just only for destruction but also to be inhabited, having equal rights with the Jews. Applying the term "Gentiles", as a result of the authority Christians have today, there are many people from Gentile nations living among her original people. So do not ignore the fact of Jesus death, because like i have said before, if the Jews and Christians are to re-erect this temple, His death then meant nothing to us as they will re-initiate animal offerings which will be another rebellion against God. Thanks! :)

It is widely called the "third temple" perhaps because the extension work by Herod was not primarily because of another destrustion by the gentiles as a result of Israel`s sin but because he wanted to extend the glory of the temple. Thanks! :)

The temple of God is the body of Christ. This means Jesus, and every other child of God, because He dwells in us. Paul mentions the temple of God exclusively in the context of our bodies.

Whether the dome is there, or it is demolished and another stone building built, it won't be the 'temple of God'. Just a building.

:D:D!! Sorry sir, but i couldn`t help busting into laughter cuz of what you said here! Please you shouldn`t judge it that way, ok. It is not what you thought. Concerning the "truth", i tell you, only one knows it all and that is our Lord up there who is the Teacher. Its true that the bible said, "ask and it shall be given unto you" but still, He does as He pleases. (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) Thanks as God continues to bless! :)

You are right, "just a building" and that is what i wanted all to understand, that the prophesied temple to the gentiles was to be an emty temple.

It's arguable that the 2nd temple was empty. When the Romans conquered Jerusalem, Pompey went into the holy of holies (Ant. 14.4.4). They even offered sacrifices to their Roman standards (1QHab 5-6). Many Jews seem to have thought this invalidated the temple and it's leadership.

But you must see that Revelation 11 starts off showing an earthly temple that will exist in Jerusalem during the Tribulation.
It once again can not be the Dome of the Rock that is being referred to here as the Muslims deny Jesus, therefore they also deny our God. So there temple is dedicated to their god and not ours.........

Gentile does not mean one is a unbeliever and I do not like the term applied to all Gentiles, as the bible clearly states we who are not physically Jews but believe are still Gentiles. For we are Gentile believers !!!

A lot of Jews still don't believe in Jesus for who He was therefore they are still pushing to have their temple to God built so that they can return to their temple laws. Christians only want to see this because it is a definite sign of the end times !!!

Hello again everyone!

Today, i like to inform you about the fulfillment of another biblical prophesy so as to keep encouraging you in your faith and trust in God Almighty through Jesus Christ. I am also revealing this because i noticed some Christians taking side with the Jews, campaigning for the rebuiding of the third temple in Jerusalem which was once called by the name of THE MOST HIGH.

Now i must tell you the truth. Though the truth they say is always bitter but believe it if you like. The THIRD TEMPLE has been rebuild and it is the Muslin "DOME OF THE ROCK" built in 691 CE. In the vision, John was commanded to measure the temple, the altar and the worshippers, meaning they shall be rebuild and its worshippers shall be restore, that is those who worships there. To prove these, we can see why the "DOME" was built on the exact spot of where the "Holy of Holies" and the "Altar" used to once stood.

Now, the "OUTER COURT" was also part of the old temple but why was it that the Islamic structure never included that area? Unknowingly to the Muslims, they did not construct up to that position (outer court) so as for the word of God through Jesus be fulfilled which states, "BUT LEAVE OUT THE COURT WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE, AND DO NO MEASURE IT, FOR IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE GENTILES. AND THEY WILL TREAD THE HOLY CITY UNDER FOOT FOR FORTY-TWO MONTHS". (Revelation 11:2)

The Great God Almighty has a perfect reason for everthing. This is logic. Come to think about it, my friends. For if the third temple is rebuid by the Jews, what message will it convey to the world or what sense will the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ make to the Christians? Absolutely nothing, my friends!! Or could these things not be understood! For it is written that Jesus came for a sacrifice and ONE LAST FINAL SACRIFICE which was to replaced ALL ANIMAL SACRIFICES that used to take place in the old temple. (Hebrews 10:1-18).

So therefore, after his crucifixion, all animal sacrifice was to end. If the rebuilding of the temple was or is done by the Jews, surely out of lack of true understanding of the scriptures, they may offer animal sacrifices as in the old tradition. definitely this may get many Christians involve which may render Jesus sacrifice´s meaningless before the eyes of many and God is aware of all these. I also like to remind you all, that this whole same Islamic religion thing started from this same temple with the Jews.

The Jews were the once that started it and this is the reason why the "QURAN" has almost similar stories like the "BIBLE" because it was being compiled from thesame Jewish scrolls. (Ezekiel 8:16,17) This is the fact behind the mystery why the Muslims always faces the EAST during their prayers. Even the first prayer Muhammed made from Mecca was said of him facing the EAST, the direction of the holy temple in Jerusalem. This act is as a result of the prayer which King Solomon offered unto God during the dedication of the temple after completion. (2 Chronicles 6:21,32-40) Although, today, most Muslims haven`t even gotten these knowledge.

To conclude, i remind you again, THE REBUIDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE IN JOHN`S VISION HAS BEEN FULFILLED!! (Revelation 11:2) Thanks be to The Almighty Creator and Jesus Christ for another understanding. Thank you all and may Jesus Christ continues to guide us from his heavenly kingdom.

The Temple of God which John measured in Rev 11 is in HEAVEN. Scripture makes this very clear....

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
...................where is the Temple of God? follow to verse 19 ......................[SUP]19 [/SUP]And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."

who s temple was jesus standing in when he said.

jesus was standing in what temple of stone. when he was alive.

18 So the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us for doing these things?"19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.2



22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.Revelation 21
