How does the Vatican become the Temple Of God?

The only building that can take the name is the Temple in Jerusalem

Not the Vatican, but the christian people, who are built together as living stones into the temple of God. That is one way to look at it.

As I said, I believe the temple in Jerusalem makes more sense. The only thing that causes any doubts for it, is the fact that it was already predicted to be destroyed, but Jesus never said that it will be destroyed, and then yet another one built.

I do agree Miknik.

I am simply suggesting that Jesus demanded it rebuilt
Look J7
Paul is talking about a physical temple beimg rebuilt in the passage 2 Thessalonians 2

And any true believer having been baptized into CHRIST knows there is no meedfor a physical temple

it will be built (just as the WORD prophecied)

but not by any member of CHRIST's BODY

Don't worry. I spent years chewing this...

The unifying factor of the Church is Christ - The Holy Spirit.

How can anyone 'set up' in the Temple?

Romans. 8

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Is there any prophecy that after the temple was destroyed as Jesus said in 70AD that there will be another one built, that will then be the AoD?

By not confusing the Church with the third temple. The Antichrist sets up the Abomination of Desolation in the temple of God to be built by Jews in Jerusalem very shortly. The Church is a spiritual entity.

Yes as the abomination which causes dedication

a temple should not be built
and any supposed leader directing the building of a temple is antichrist

and dny snd dvwry baprized christian will be speaking out against building a temple which will follow with the reinstating of animal sacrifices

WHICH INDEED WILL BE AN ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD

You need to slow duwn
you talk as if you are on to something

but you're not

the earthly temple will be rebuilt
even though it shouldn't be

and animal sacrifices will be reinstated
even though it shouldn't be

ans the man of lawlessness will sit in the temple shoring himself to be god
even though it shouldn't be

Yes,Ma'am.

God said He is going to gather the whole house of Israel,all of Jacob,back to Israel,and leave none of them in the nations anymore.

God said He is going to gather all nations together to go against Jerusalem,and then He will go forth and fight against those nations like in the day of battle.

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth.In that day there shall be one LORD,and His name one.

God is going to give the world 7 years to have their way,and cause all people that do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom,and bring Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.

Israel is blinded in part,they accept the Old Testament,but not the New,for the majority,until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in,when salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,and so all Israel shall be saved,physical Israel will become spiritual,and saved from the world when they attack them.

First attack on Jerusalem,because Israel rejected Christ.

Second attack on Jerusalem in the future,because Israel accepted Christ.

The man of sin will establish peace in the Middle East,and it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel,and the Jews,and the Gentiles,will be separated.

The Gentiles nations will come together,and say,Peace and safety,as they try to solve their problems on earth.

The Jews will split Jerusalem will the Palestinians,and the Jews will rebuild their temple with no hassle from the Palestinians,and since they are blinded in part,will go back to animal sacrifices.

After three and one half years,the man of sin steps in to their temple,and claims to be God,and their Messiah,and addresses the world,and deceives all people that do not love God,and when they take the mark of the beast,then salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,and the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

God will send Israel 2 witnesses for three and one half years,to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.

The world attacks Israel,and the LORD my God shall come,and all the saints with thee,and will defeat the world,and save Israel.

Jesus will fulfill His role as King on earth for 1000 years,and the kingdom restored to the Jews,in which God will make a full end of all Gentile nations,but will not make a full end of Israel,but will not leave them wholly unpunished.

Jesus and the saints will rule over the people that God spared.

Damned when they didn't, damned if they do - this is "theology"?

in 3 days (i.e. within 3000 years).
We've been over this previously, remember?

Your 'prophetic math' results in that 3 days = 3*4hrs = 12 hours ((Hebrew reckoning)) or 3 days = 9 hours ((Roman occupation reckoning)).

:p

Unless you have some reason to completely ignore half a verse of Psalm 90 that i'm unaware of . . . ?

Perhaps if you have a certain view of Ezekiel 40-48

But I believe there are major problems with such a view. It is not written that this vision was given so that the temple in it should be constructed, but that it should be described to Israel "so that they will be ashamed" ((Ezekiel 43:10))

I do not want to point any fingers but a certain man with a funny hat, has been historically considered the antichrist. Something like that, a big christian leader who brings all the churches together. Ecumenical.
Is there any prophecy that after the temple was destroyed as Jesus said in 70AD that there will be another one built, that will then be the AoD?
there is also the LDS prophecy of a temple to be built, as they consider it, in Missouri, which prophecy of theirs also supposes that a mormon leader will sit in it and also in a seat of authority over the whole world unified under him.

not a prophecy that Christ Himself in any way made, of course -- but something *other than the roman catholic church or any given American president* to consider as a potential fulfillment of the antichrist '
making himself god'

worth noting that in conjunction with this, LDS teaching is that they are themselves being evolved into gods, each to rule their own planet. so the idea that a mormon leader considers himself god is already present.


IMO if you wanna talk "strong delusion" the LDS sure fits the bill.
