Should the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City be leveled to allow the building of the Third Jewish Temple?

Question

Now I'm not suggesting it. I'm just wondering what your opinions and answers are. Please be honest.

Answer 1

Read Revelation 11.

After reading that here is some interesting present day news to support the prophesies of Revelation 11.

Today there are Jews very interested in rebuilding the temple and resuming sacrifice, and are making preparations to do that exact thing even now.

Today you can visit the Temple Institute in the Jewish Quarter of the old city in Jerusalem. There, a group of Jews absolutely dedicated to rebuilding the temple attempt to educate the public and raise awareness for a new temple. They are trying to replicate everything they can for a new temple, down to the specific pots and pans used for sacrifice.

Israel is a nation again, and efforts to rebuild the temple are for real. The main Jewish group leading the charge to rebuild the temple is an organization called, "Faithful of the Temple Mount", who say they will continue their efforts to re-establish the Jewish temple on the Mount. One leader in the group said, “We shall continue our struggle until the Israeli flag is flying from the Dome of the Rock.” In Israel, there are students being trained for the priesthood, learning how to conduct animal sacrifices in the rebuilt temple.

It is important to understand that most Jews – religious or secular – do not care one bit about building a temple. And if there were one rebuilt, sacrifice would be difficult in a day of aggressive animal rights activists! Yet, there is a small, strong, highly dedicated group who live to see a rebuilt temple – a temple which will fulfill prophecy.

Rightly, Christians get excited when they see efforts to rebuild the temple. At the same time, we should understand that the basic impulse behind rebuilding the temple is not of God at all – the desire to have a place to sacrifice for sin. Christians believe that all sacrifice for sin was finished at the cross, and any further sacrifice for sin is an offense to God, because it denies the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

Orthodox Jews do not believe was/is their prophesied Messiah & they consider that the "coming" Messiah will rebuild the temple; however, the man they may initially embrace as their Messiah will in fact be the Antichrist.

Jesus says, "I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. (John 5:43)

Answer 2

The prophet Ezekiel in chapters 38 and 39 describes the soon-coming WW III, in which a massive Arab coalition backed by Russia attacks Israel.

Ezekiel states that during that time, God will cause a tremendous earthquake in Israel, and that He will personally destroy the attacking armies with the earthquake, great hail, an overflowing rain and fire and brimstone.

The Dome of the Rock will be leveled by the earthquake, and with Arab power in the Middle East shattered forever, there will be no stopping the Jewish people from building the Third Temple, which they will indeed do.

"Rightly, Christians get excited when they see efforts to rebuild the temple.

This is a quote from a previous comment which, I believe, is irroneous. Yes, there will be future sacrifices in the New Jeruselem. You might say why, as Jesus died on the cross for our sins....however, in the old testament it does say that there will be sacrifices again. These sacrifices have nothing to do with an offense against God as He, Himself has ordained this. According to scripture, these new sacrifices are only for a symbol...nothing to do with denigrating Jesus' sacrifice. Look it up...its in there as I have read it. I couldn't believe it either until I read it for myself...several times. I forget where its located but I do not its in the Old Testatment.

Answer 4

While I would like Al-Asa Mosque to stay on its spot as a holy site for Muslims it would be nice for the dome of the rock to be moved so that the third temple could be constructed.

I am afraid though that at this time even suggesting such a thing could cause violence.

As such I would rather wait for a time when it can be done in a peaceful manner.

Answer 5

OK, Mathematics 101.

1. Solomon - circa 997 bc/bce

2. Zerubbabel - circa 520 bc/bce

3. Herod - circa 66 ad/ce

4. Any new construction

[Edit]

Oh, and I almost forgot, as mentioned above, Ezekiel, during the time of the 'Captivity' dreamed up another version, which many count as one more. The funny thing about that is that the nearest building to actually get built along the lines of Ezekiel's 'vision' was the Sinclair ( St. Clair ) 'Chapel', built during the 15th century at Rosslyn, Scotland. It was completed in around 1480, after 60 odd years of work. It does bear an astonishingly accurate portrayal in terms of the towers and minarets that were described. So maybe that should make four, to date.

Answer 6

The Quran mentions that God owns all it somewhat is interior the East and West, regardless of your prayer direction is does not be counted. in the process the faster age of Islam the Muslims did in actuality pray contained in the direction of Masjid Al-Aqsa. Al-Aqsa is likewise the place the Prophet made his night journey so it does have non secular ties to Muslims. Christians and Jews do no longer make any historic or non secular claims to Mecca. after all, they supply concept to Ishmael to be exterior the covenant. That sounds extra like a spit interior the face to Muslims as properly as their very own scriptures (offering contradictions and double criteria). Mecca is considerable using fact in accordance to Islamic traditions, it replaced into the 1st regulate set up in worship of God, by Abraham and his first born son. in accordance to Jewish regulation itself, whether a father despises his son, it does not do away with the 1st born desirable of the son. yet Abraham and God curiously destroy this regulation interior the Torah. And supposedly Isaac is the son of an incestuous union between Abraham and Sarah (some thing punishable by dying interior the Torah), yet God overlooks this as properly. Non-Muslims are actually not allowed into Mecca interior a similar reason that militia zones in u . s . a . of america are off-limits to undemanding voters. it somewhat is political no longer non secular. i'm no longer saying that non-Muslims will intentionally reason worry in Mecca, and that i'm no longer saying undemanding voters will reason worry in the event that they only wanna bypass to section fifty one, it somewhat is a political rule. You wanna communicate hypocritical? whether you're atheist, in case you think approximately your self an American please clarify the violations of elementary human and civil rights regulations that have been happening for over 0.5 a century in Israel (with the help of the US)? ought to I blame it on how democracy does not help freedom of religion? in case you recognize extra approximately our distant places coverage you does not be calling democracy hypocritical. it somewhat is political. See which desirable canine earnings from Israeli occupation and there is your answer.

Answer 7

I really believe that God will be in charge with this one. Keep praying for the Peace in Jerusalem.....Psalms 122:6

Answer 8

Looking at the way things are going for the muslims, I think the levelling is in-evitable.

Answer 9

If you read revelation, it is going to happen one day.

Answer 10

Read the Holy Bible you will find out what will happen, and it won't be long now.
