I see no difference between a Muslim temple and a Jewish temple. They would be the same thing, in a spiritual and prophetic sense. The OT does not speak of Jews being the only Tribe brought back and restored... but all Tribes...
many of which are currently Muslims.
Is there some spiritual difference between these two religions? Both are cults, the same as Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses. Should we give Mormons preference also?
Why give one of them some sort of credibility?
Neither knows the True God. Both worship Baal, and call him "God".
Both are mixed blood, and though both claim Abraham as father, neither are Abraham's Seed,
as BOTH are children of Hagar according to Galatians!
This Third Temple is being built NOW!
It is being built, not by human hands, but by God Himself,
Using Living Stones,
With Christ as the Cornerstone, the Stumbling Block, and the Capstone.
If the "Jews" tear down the Dome, and build a new "temple", it is not prophesied in Scripture,
but simply a distraction sent by Satan to deceive. It fulfills nothing, as the Dome is equal to anything that the "Jews" will build, in a prophetic sense.
Ukorin has long been biting at the bit about this topic, but I have held him back. But now I do see what he sees.
This misunderstanding about the "Jews" is very deep, and very twisted.
As a missionary to Israel, I defend and uphold the "Jews",
but many of you do not understand who they are spiritually, and propheticly,
and assume they are the prophetic equivalent of Israel... which is nonsense invented by the enemy.
They are a lost people, in need of Christ. They are born Gentiles.
The only persons born as True Jews, are those born into Christian homes, regardless of race.
If you were converted outside of the home, then you are a converted Gentile, accepted into citizenship with Israel.
If you were converted within the home, then you were born a Jew, and in keeping the Faith, you are a True Jew.
This is the Truth. It is not complicated. All one must do is trust the Word.
The theologies of man are vast and foolishly overreaching what is revealed in Scripture.
Lastly, and to get back to the thread:
The Temple IS defiled. Look at what the Church is viewed as in the media, and you will see how the Living Stones of the Temple are defiled daily.
There is an abomination upon the Altar.
Because of the Eastern Orthodox, we are seen as physically minded spiritualist.
Because of the Popes, we are seen as warmongers.
Because of the modern Catholics, we are seen as perverts.
Because of Westboro Bapists and the like, we are seen as judgemental fools.
Because of Creflo Dollar and the like, we are seen as greedy pigs.
Because of the Toronto Blessing and the like, we are seen as crazed manics.
Because of the Moral Majority, we are seen as political puppets.
Because of our lack of discipline and discipleship, we are seen as hypocrites.
^this is the Abomination. Apostasy! The pig on the altar. The enemy reigning from within the Holy Place!!!
