When Jesus died on the cross, the temple worship ended.
The offering of sacrifices would no longer be accepted.
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice.
In Acts, the apostles went to the otter court to preach the Gospel.
They never offered a sacrifice nor participated in any temple worship serve. to do so would have been blasphemy.
Dan 11:1-35 is a prophecy of the constant invasions of different kings and their evil treatment of the Jews.
Dan 11:36-12:13 introduces the Man of Sin and his 1290 reign of terror that will end only when Jesus returns.
A third temple is not mentioned in these verses.
God has not accepted the temple worship system since the death of His Son on the cross and He will never accept such worship again.
As I said, the Jews may very well build a building and call it the temple of God, but God will have no part in it.
Only God is to be worshiped.
The Man of Sin will demand everyone to worship.
This is his setting where he ought not, this is setting himself in a holy place.
I've showed you that it did not end.
Acts 21:26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purifying himself along with them, went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.
Paul and those with him were obviously blaspheming then, according to what you say.
The belief that animal sacrifice saves is incorrect in view of Christ's sacrifice. What the animal sacrifices did do was cover sins temporarily, but they didn't cleanse, which is why animals constantly had to be sacrificed. The Old Testament Law did not cease, clearly. Just because we are saved by grace doesn't mean the Law is done away with. As Jesus said, He came to fulfill, not do away with.
You're denying that the wars between the Seleucid empire and the Ptolemy empire aren't being described in Daniel 11? And the Maccabean revolt? The Jewish believers of Jesus' day would have recognised that He was prophesying of another incident that would happen as in 164 BCE.
Yes, and you ignore that this same man of sin stops the temple offerings.
The word trinity isn't mentioned in the Bible either, but anyone who studies any Biblical concept will have terms for such concepts that may or may not be mentioned in the texts themselves. And it could be a fourteenth temple for all we know.
You speak as if the animal sacrifices at a time did save. They never did, but they served a purpose, even after Christ's death, and will again in Christ's Kingdom.
That the Jews are still a recognised and distinct people shows that God is preserving them. He has tied to integrity of His very name to them, and to the city of Jerusalem.
Maybe Kim Jong Un is the antichrist then? It's not so unreasonable to speculate with your position.
