Jesus came to take man's eyes off of natural things, so there's nothing in the NT pertaining to those natural things. Even the OT points to the new reality.
And it will be if you should be multiplied, and should grow upon the land, says the LORD, in those days, they shall not say any more, Ark of the covenant of holy Israel. It shall not ascend upon the heart, nor be named, nor shall it be examined, and it shall not be done any more. Jeremiah 3:16
“Jesus came to take man's eyes off of natural things, “
well said
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
“If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.”
Hebrews 7:11-12
I don't believe for even a moment that the antichrist is allowing the third Jewish temple to be rebuilt to please the Sanhedrin and Israel.
The antichrist wants it built for his own demonic selfish reasons. Remember! He wants to rule as god, reigning from that temple.
I would even go so far as to say that he will have the Dome of the Rock and accompanying mosque to be destroyed to get that third temple built. And the Muslims won't be able to do anything about it.
He could care less about the Sanhedrin and Israel or even the Muslims.
The letter to the Hebrews doesn’t mention the restoration of the temple, the return of the land, or a thousand-year earthly reign because its focus and purpose are very different from books like Revelation or Old Testament prophetic texts. Hebrews is written to a group of Jewish believers who were tempted to return to the mosaic covenant system—especially the temple sacrifices—and its primary aim is to show the supremacy of Jesus and the new covenant compared to the mosaic covenant that has been done away with.
If you want theology you go to theology books, like the book of Romans.
If you want eschatology you go to the book of Revelation or Daniel
Each book is written for a different purpose.

He will do it this way because e is showing himself as the Messiah the jews are looking for. It is not till he takes his seat in the temple of God in the middle of the seven till many understand he is truly the antichrist
No.
And logistically it would be a nightmare to do.
The Temple Mountain complex currently named the Dome of the rock was once a Christian Church. But the whole area is seizmically active. As such around the early 1900's the place collapsed.
An American and British team went in and restored it. There are pictures of the original cedar beams David and Solomon used. The whole hill is honeycombed with tunnels and ancient artifacts used as fill dirt. It will require years just to excavate the site. (All while arguing about it) Then rebuilding will not take long as the materials are already stored, numbered, and cataloged.
Blemish free red heifers are also available in herds.
Certain sections of the retaining wall and security wall are in great condition and straight as any laser could make. Others? It's a wonder they are still standing (some continue to collapse)
The fact that one stone is left upon another is proof that the temple was not located on the "temple mount", which is really the Roman encampment of Fort Antonio. The temple was further south on Mt Zion in the City of David. It was completely razed to the ground as the lord predicted.
Ummmm
That's not possible.
If you ever visit and see for yourself you will see that it's not true. It is impossible.
Old City Jerusalem and the rest of Israel are laid out exactly as scriptures describe. There are a TON of misinformation campaigns out there designed to mislocate certain things...for mostly monetary gain. But one look at how things are laid out and have literally ALWAYS been....
One of the areas that has changed has been the Tomb area. (City has grown) and the "place of the skull".
The place of the skull is a natural crossroads that looks like a human skull and is currently the main bus station terminal.
The former cemetery of tombs was razed a few decades after the Temple was destroyed. (More fighting) But after Constantine empire began the tomb site was turned into a church (Holy Sepulchre).
There are many scale models of Ancient Jerusalem due to thorough documentation by the Romans and Jews that agree which has survived.
Even the original East gate is still there....but Muslims fearing Jesus's return have created a cemetery under it so that He would be defiled by the corpses before He entered God's gate. (As if that would stop him....LOL)
As far as Solomon's Temple and the one Herod had built. They cover different footprints but at most the Holy of Holies is off by just a few feet. (Less than the width of your average living room)
It's been known for over 50 years that the temple was on Mt Zion, which matches what scripture witnesses. Search for an online version of The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot. The evidence is overwhelming
The reason that several Events, Places, Times, and the Future are not mentioned in the Book of Hebrews is because it's very much like the original Gospel of Matthew, for the Jews specifically.
When you begin reading Hebrews [(hence the Title alone)] it goes through a quick historical timeline of God using the Prophets to present His messages but in the latter days God used Jesus.
So Hebrews is connecting the dots of who Jesus is throughout the Tanakh and New Testament. It's explaining the Melchizedek Priesthood connection, the establisher of the LAW, the Christophanies, it even provides the Character Hall of Fame and Their connection to Christ.
Essentially speaking here, it's telling the current JEWS of that day Who Jesus is, who He was in the Torah and Tanakh, and why they should follow Him.

The precise location of any new "Holy of Holies" is not really that relevant....which is why the Herod Temple was different from Solomon's due to the ashes from the red heifer.
Only Levites are allowed to do the work....and that right there is part of the BIG BIG problem.
Due to DNA testing....the Jews can determine which of the 12 tribes everyone comes from with a fair amount of certainty. But they definitely don't want to do that. (Politics and money)
Then there's the Ark of the Covenant. (Currently in Ethiopia but unproven)
So...without God's "chair" in the Holy of Holies....it's just another building. The real question is: Is it a close enough shadow of the throne in Heaven that it's relevant?
And any sacrificing....what is God going to think of claiming that Jesus's blood was insufficient? (That's a scary proposition).
That is anti-Christ stuff right there.
The Herodian Temple can be chalked up to a mistake in measurements....and any newer one would be overlooked as well because of Muslim occupation. (Desecration is easy, dedication is difficult).
But, due to the political turmoil currently ongoing....and the huge amounts of history buried in the dirt of the Temple complex...then there's the Jewish infighting....
I do not see a new Temple being built anytime soon. The "Palestinians" would have to be exterminated for it to happen.
Which is not impossible....they are the MOST undesired immigrants in the entire world. (Terrorism, militant religious beliefs crossing over into political beliefs) and the high instance of incestuous offspring in the adult population.
Impossible. In order to do that they would have to have DNA samples from the 12 tribes, which is impossible to do.
I agree. People talk about the anti-Christ sitting in the temple not realizing that the temple itself would be anti-Christ.
This third Jewish temple is a farce so it doesn't matter at all if any part of it doesn't meet the requirements. God didn't decree it, so He doesn't care. I don't even think the antichrist cares either as long as it gets built and he can desecrate it during his reign.
And the Jews? Well, they've been known to bend the rules - that's why so many of them are clever lawyers, lol!
The general subject of the epistle of Hebrews is that the Messiah of the Old Testament scriptures must suffer as incarnate man, and that Jesus is the Messiah. It was aimed at those that outwardly believed and at the waverers and opposers. Paul used scripture in an attempt to prove to them that Jesus came as Messiah.
Not really....
They have samples from a few graves with known ancestry....and that's all it takes.
The red hefer seems to have been found and is about the right age for the sacrifice for purification.
We are that close to seeing and answering the question.

That doesn't tell us anything. They could be Edomites who King Herod appointed as priests. It's all a matter of faith
