first i dont think its christians rebuilding da temple we dont need animal sacrifices. but da reason its going to be rebuilt is bcuz tha antichrist needs to make a contract with israel and set himself up there as god. so to all of you asking why da temple after Jesus da answer is simple: to fulfill that which was written.
Luke 19:45-46 (HCSB)
[SUP]45 [/SUP] He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those who were selling,
[SUP]46 [/SUP] and He said, “It is written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves!”
Think about this, if Israel rebuilds the TEMPLE, and we BORN AGAIN Christians, began to Pilgrimage to that TEMPLE to PRAY in the COURT of the Gentiles, and then WE who are Part of the BRIDE get called out to go to the Wedding of the LAMB.
What effect would that have on all of the lost Children of ISRAEL?
Romans 11:23-26 (NCV)
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And if the Jews will believe in God again, he will accept them back.
God is able to put them back where they were.
[SUP]24 [/SUP] It is not natural for a wild branch to be part of a good tree.
And you who are not Jews are like a branch cut from a wild olive tree and joined
to a good olive tree. But since those Jews are like a branch that grew from the
good tree, surely they can be joined to their own tree again.
[SUP]25 [/SUP] I want you to understand this secret, brothers and sisters,
so you will understand that you do not know everything:
Part of Israel has been made stubborn, but that
will change when many who are not Jews have come to God.
[SUP]26 [/SUP] And that is how all Israel will be saved.
It is written in the Scriptures: “The Savior will come from Jerusalem;
he will take away all evil from the family of Jacob.
I BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST GAVE ME THAT UNDERSTANDING!
