THE MYTH OF A THIRD PHYSICAL TEMPLE
The false doctrine of the third temple centers on the belief that a future Jewish temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, serving as a key sign before the end times, particularly in Christian dispensationalist and some Jewish messianic traditions.
“The Church is the new Israel, the spiritual Israel, the true seed of Abraham, and she consists of Jews and Gentiles. That have been washed in the Blood!
How the devil ever convinced professed Christians to support the (professed Jews) modern-day Israeli government, which was created by the Rothchild banking cabal, is somehow legitimate, is beyond comprehension . This does indeed confounds those who have taken the time to know the difference. ” -
Jacob Rothschild’s man made Israel (Balfour Declaration), are the Jews of the synagogue of Satan (Revelation 3:9). As Jesus stated, “which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie.”
These claiming tp be Christians better get back to the Word of God for themselves (Joh 7:17-18 ) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. (2Ti 2:15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “lest they are led astray by the wicked” (2Ti 3:17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
The false Christian Dispensational View: This view holds that a literal third temple will be constructed during the Great Tribulation, (Sometimes before and sometimes after) where the Antichrist will sit in the temple and declare himself God
(2Th 2:4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is
Adam Clark Commentary “Who opposeth and exalteth - He stands against and exalts himself above all Divine authority, and above every object of adoration, and every institution relative to Divine worship, σεβασμα, himself being the source, whence must- -originate all the doctrines of religion, and all its rites and ceremonies; so that sitting in the temple of God - having the highest place and authority in the Christian Church, he acts as God - taking upon himself God’s titles and attributes, and arrogating to himself the authority that belongs to the Most High”. (The Pope)
(Mat 24:15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
(Adam Clark Commentary): “The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel - This abomination of desolation, St. Luke, (Luk 21:20-21) And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.-- refers to the Roman army; and this abomination standing in the holy place is the Roman army besieging Jerusalem; this, our Lord says, is what was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, in the ninth and eleventh chapters of his prophecy; and so let every one who reads these prophecies understand them; and in reference to this very event they are understood by the rabbins. The Roman army is called an abomination, for its ensigns and images, which were so to the Jews. Josephus says, (War, b. vi. chap. 6), the Romans brought their ensigns into the temple, and placed them over against the eastern gate, and sacrificed to them there. The Roman army is therefore fitly called the abomination, and the abomination which maketh desolate, as it was to desolate and lay waste Jerusalem; and this army besieging Jerusalem is called by St. Mark, (Mar 13:14) But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:-- standing where it ought not, that is, as in the text here, the holy place; as not only the city, but a considerable compass of ground about it, was deemed holy, and consequently no profane persons should stand on it”.
Reader: (Mat 24:15, , Lk 21:20-21, Mk 13:14) all pertain to the destruction of the Temple by the Roman Army, 70 years after the Crusifiction.
The Jews were expecting the Messiah to rule from an earthly kingdom
(Mat 16:18) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Psa 118:22) The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
(Isa 28:16) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Readers: Isaiah prophesied of the coming Messiah.
(Act 4:11) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (This rock, the corner stone and the stone the builders rejected are one and the same.)
And have ye not read this scripture? The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: (Mar 12:10)
The (stone, Jesus Christ) is the foundation of God’s Church, the foundation of the true Gospel of Christ and guidance by the Holy Spirit to the writers of the New Testamant.
It is understood that the “cornerstone” is Jesus and the foundation of His Church, the new Jerusalem.
But who are the builders that rejected the corner stone? These builders are those who have taken it upon themselves to create an image of the church founded upon the imaginations of man, based on splits and divisions. These builders are not building the new temple, the new Jerusalem. These builders are known by diverse names, Baptists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, sometimes the Church of God, Methodists, Latter Day Saints, Catholics, and up to 4,500 or more, also known as Babylon, i.e., confusion. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (Rev. 16;13)
The plan for the Third and final temple was made when Adam sinned in the garden.
(Luk 14:28) For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? “ Do nothing without a plan.” (Adam Clark commentary) --In order to build a Temple, there would have to be a plan. The plan was made all the way back in the “Garden”:---
“The concurrence of man. Therefore the address is not to Adam and Eve, but to Eve alone; and it was in consequence of this purpose of God that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin; this, and this alone, is what is implied in the promise of the seed of the woman bruising the head of the serpent. Jesus Christ died to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, and to destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. Thus he bruises his head - destroys his power and lordship over mankind, turning them from the power of Satan unto God; (Act_26:18). And Satan bruises his heel - God so ordered it, that the salvation of man could only be brought about by the death of Christ; and even the spiritual seed of our blessed Lord have the heel often bruised, as they suffer persecution, temptation, etc., which may be all that is intended by this part of the prophecy.” Adam Clark
1. The Blueprint:
Was given throughout the Old Testament
The tabernacle first built by the Israelites during their forty year pilgrimage in the desert, was a shadow of the the Temples to be built. The first by King Solomon. The second by Zerubbabel, the Persian-appointed governor of Judah, with the help of High Priest Joshua and the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, following the decree of Cyrus the Great of Persia. The second Temple was completed around 516 BCE.
These temples of which the last one was destroyed seventy years after the Resurrection of Jesus, are shadowes of the temple described in Danial 7:27
2. Breaking Ground: (Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
3. Construction: Mat 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
(Mat 28:1-6) In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
(1Co 3:16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? -Adam Clark Commentary “Ye are the temple of God - The apostle resumes here what he had asserted in (1Co_3:9): Ye are God’s building. As the whole congregation of Israel were formerly considered as the temple and habitation of God, because God dwelt among them, so here the whole Church of Corinth is called the temple of God, because all genuine believers have the Spirit of God to dwell in them; and Christ has promised to be always in the midst even of two or three who are gathered together in his name. Therefore where God is, there is his temple.”
.4 The Temple is built of stones: (1Pe 2:5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (Act 2:41) Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
5. The Great Commission: (Mar 16:14) Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
(Mar 16:15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
(Mar 16:16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(Mar 16:17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
(Mar 16:18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
(Mar 16:19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
(Mar 16:20) And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
The third Temple has already been built. Construction started at the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, by the laying of the stone rejected by the builders. The building continued on the day of pentecost with the addition of "living stones", and will continue until the Return of Christ (Second Coming):
(1Pe 2:5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
(1Pe 2:6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
(1Pe 2:7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
(1Pe 2:8) And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
The church that was built when the Pentecost came,
The church that is kept in one faith and one name,
Shall shine on resplendent, forever the same;
I’ll never go back, I’ll never go back.
I’ll never go back to division and strife,
Where hatred and envy and malice are rife;
I’ll walk in the truth all the days of my life;
I’ll never go back again.
I’LL NEVER GO BACH – By Charles W. Naylor – 1907 - # 168 ELS
There are many, that are looking for the Third Temple to be built. Some are denominational churches and sects, some are government officials in different nations and most definitely the Practicing Jews and even some Masonic Jews, not to leave out the Zionists Jews.
I have felt lead to address this great apostasy. I keep hearing about controversies of whether the tribulation will come before the Third Temple or after. And will the one thousand year reign begin when Christ comes back to rule from the Third Temple? Then there are those that looking for the sacrificial fable of the “Red Heifer”.
Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb of God. To bring back a practice from the book of Numbers is degrading to the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord and Savior.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.(Isa 1:11)
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Heb 10:6-10)
Folks: A third physical temple will never be a sign of the second coming.
The third temple is here now: In the following, I will show without a doubt using scripture from our Holy Bible that the so called Third Temple is non-other than the New Testament Church, Built by Jesus Himself, AKA known as Zion, The Holy Mountain, “The Church of God” (mentioned by the apostles eight times in the New Testament, referring to the several congregations established after the Day of Pentecost): (1Co 3:16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
The Old Covenant Has Passed Away:
“In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one obsolete; but what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing.” (Heb 8:13) In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. The temple system belonged to the old covenant. A “third physical temple” would resurrect what God has declared obsolete.: (Dan 7:14) And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
(Mat 28:18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Jesus is reigning now!
(1Co 15:25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
“For he must reign, etc. - This is according to the promise, (Psa_110:1): “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” ---Therefore the kingdom cannot be given up till all rule and government be cast down. So that while the world lasts, Jesus, as the Messiah and Mediator, must reign; and all human beings are properly his subjects, are under his government, and are accountable to him.
Reigning in This Life
Daniel S. Warner, pub.1885
1. Do you triumph, O my brother,
Over all this world of sin?
In each storm of tribulation,
Does your Jesus reign within?
Refrain:
I am reigning, sweetly reigning,
Far above this world of strife;
In my blessed, loving Savior,
I am reigning in this life.
2.One we hail as King immortal,
He did earth and hell subdue;
And bequeathing us His glory,
We are kings anointed, too.
3. Shall we then by sin be humbled?
Must we yield to any foe?
No, by heaven’s gift we’re reigning
Over all this world below.
4. Oh, what grace and high promotion,
That in Jesus I should be
Raised from sin to royal honor,
Even reigning, Lord, with Thee.
5. All this life is blissful sunshine,
Earth is subject at our feet;
Heaven pours its richest blessings
Round our throne of love complete.
6. Then we’ll sing and shout the story,
Of the wondrous blood divine;
Full salvation, glory, glory!
I am reigning all the time.
