Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

The temple was built as an eternal reality in the Incarnation of God in Christ. No other temple is now needed, and the temple of Christ's Body, living in his Church, participates in the eternal temple of the Incarnation. We do not build the temple, it has been given to us in Jesus Christ as a place for his people to share in the communion of the Divine life.

No, but all the materials are being procured & stored for the day.
There is a mock temple where the priests are being trained. All the temple utinsils are made & the priestly garments as well.
There is even a red heffer candidate that is being watched, which is the critical part of the kick off to sacrifice.
It would not matter if the temple were built, sacrifice cannot start without her.
My guess is that they even know where the ark is, but that would not be something that would be exposed until ALL is in place & ready to begin.

I hope so. As I understand it, the Temple will be complete when the 'last Christian' converts, at which time the Rapture can take place. From the appearance of history and the daily news, it can't be too far off...

As your quotes are an allegory and vary amongst Bibles, I'll place them into a single sentence in English.
Christians are supposed to build a church of converts that become minions of those who represent Jesus until there is control all of the people on earth.
Of course, this is another of Paul's Used Car Salesman pitches that have nothing to do with with words of Jesus. Another aspect is that these sayings within Paul's letters is that he was building a pyramid scheme of personal power for himself and his followers.
Why the Conclaves did not throw away Paul's written statements as heresy is one of the mysteries of the church that even Jesuits study.

There is only one problem. There sits a Muslim building on the temple grounds. We have to get rid of that first. Or should I say Israel will.

Get a clue. WE are the building blocks of the temple.

You mean in the one in J-lem? They will not start building it until G-d comes. But things for inside of the temple are being crafted.

I hope it will be finished soon so we all can be safe from all this evil which is happening in our world today.

No. Until you can all agree on the correct interpretations your "temple" is just another promise that won't ever happen.
