What about the book of Hebrews where its a HEAVENLY one. Always interpret OT in light of the NT. In my opinion atleast!
But we shall see whats gonna happen. It does look like a certain sect is working hard to get the temple rebuilt, but most israelis are just as soft as westerners and cant handle animal sacrifices because "animal rights" and other animal worship we got going on here!
IF they can overcome that obstacle and the bickering amongst themselves on the location of where its supposed to be, they will get it done, they got everything READY n SET!
At that point its evident to everyone that THIS IS IT. (Or atleast would be to ME)
God is going to restore the physical kingdom on earth back to Israel, which at that time all Jews will be back on their land.
Not the spiritual kingdom, but a physical kingdom for 1000 years, then the spiritual kingdom the New Jerusalem.
It has to be done for Israel as a nation has to come to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah, before God can proceed with getting the saints to the New Jerusalem.
For Jesus said salvation is of the Jews.
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
The disciples knew from the Old Testament that God would restore the kingdom on earth back to the Jews, and Jesus did not deny it, but said the Father will do it in His time.
It has not been done yet so it is a future event when all the Jews are back on their land.
Jer 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Jer 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Which God will make a full end of all Gentile governments, but not make a full end of Israel, but she will not be altogether unpunished for she is punished in part for rejecting the truth, which she was scattered in to the nations.
Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Which Jesus and the saints will rule over the heathen that God spared at the battle of Armageddon when He fought the world, and defeated them.
Eze 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Israel shall know the LORD their God from that time forward, which they will always be in the truth from that time forward, which this is a future prophesy, for Israel as a nation is not in the truth.
Eze 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Eze 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
The heathen shall know that the house of Israel went in to captivity for their sins against God, and rejecting the truth, and the heathen will know that God was always with the nation of Israel, but they temporarily lost the kingdom, and the power, which Paul said that God did not cast away His people that He once foreknew.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Eze 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Eze 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Eze 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
God will bring back the captivity of Jacob, the whole house of Israel, after they have borne their shame, and gather them out of the nations, and leave none of them in the nations anymore.
Then Israel shall know the LORD their God from that time forward, and He will never hide His face from them again.
When the New Age Christ, man of sin, establishes peace in the Middle East it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel, for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen, and the man of sin wants them all back on their land, but God means it for good towards the Jews.
And all the Jews will be back on their land, and soon the kingdom will be restored to Israel for God will turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah, and the man of sin and the world attack them, and Jesus comes back with the saints and defeats the world, and saves Israel.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
God called Israel and He will never turn from it but bring them to the truth like He has always done in the past.
Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
When Jesus defeats the world He will be King over all the earth, and nobody will acknowledge any god, or religious figure, but Jesus, and the kingdom restored to Israel.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
The heathen have to go up year after year to worship Jesus, and keep the feast of tabernacles to be right with God since they are not spiritual.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus came to fulfill the law by being a sinless man obeying the laws of God, and fulfilling the roles of Israel such as Saint, King, High Priest, Prophet, and being the temple and sacrifice.
But He has not fulfilled the role of perfect King on earth, and it must be done on earth, and that is what the millennial reign is about, and when the 1000 years is over then the law is fulfilled, and then this physical heaven and earth shall pass away.
When the man of sin establishes peace in the Middle East the Jews will rebuild their temple, and go back to animal sacrifices for they are still blinded in part, with no hassle from the Palestinians, and the Jews will split Jerusalem with the Jews.
Joe 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Joe 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head.
But God will pay back the Palestinians for their mistreatment of His people when He fights the world.
Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Which when the nations come together to try to establish peace on earth, and all the Jews back on their land will the world side with the Jews or the Palestinians.
It s good advice that they side with the Jews, very good advice.
The man of sin will step in to their temple and claim to be their God and Messiah, and when the world follows him then repentance and salvation is no longer available to them, and then God will turn Israel to the truth.
The physical temple will be rebuilt for Israel.
