Temple Of The Dome Of The Rock.

With missals, drones, bombs and, hitting Jerusalem, would any Bible reading student be surprised if the Temple of the Dome of the Rock is blown up?

Why does it matter and who cares might be asked. According to Islamic tradition, the Dome of the Rock, built in 691, marks the spot where Muhammed ascended to Heaven. But according to Jewish tradition, Mount Moriah, now under the Dome of the Rock, is where the Jewish Temple's Holy of Holies was situated.

It is my understanding that the Bible says a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem will play a role in end-time events. Daniel 9:24–27 describes a final seven-year period just prior to the Messiah coming to set up His kingdom. In the middle of this seven-year period Daniel is told of a coming “prince” who will “put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering.”

In Matthew 24:15–16 Jesus refers back to Daniel’s prophecy. ........
“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place—let the reader understand—then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.”

Jesus makes it clear that the abomination will be set up standing in the “holy place,”. The "Holy Place can and does only refer to one place---the temple.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 Paul explains the activity of the future Antichrist.........
“No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”

The Antichrist will go to “the temple of God” to proclaim himself as God. There is no Jewish Temple today and the Temple of the Dome of The Rock which is a Muslim holy site sits where the Jewish Temple was and must be. For that to happen, a temple must be built. For that to happen the Dome of the Rock must be destroyed.

Now......again the question is, will you be surprised to see that news flash across your TV set that an errant Iranian missile has hit and destroyed the Muslim Temple?

I say this only to lift up those who may be concerned to let them know that while we may be blessed to discern future events and may not always see things clearly, we can know that God is in control and the results are His. The entirety of Scripture (history, law, and prophecy) is there to give us comfort in the knowledge that He is in control and there is a plan.

Mark 13:28-31........
"Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place”.

If you add up all the Scriptures in the Bible you will learn that every fourth verse in the Scripture deals with prophecy.
 
It was actually my first thought. Seems to be a very real possibility. Most (or all seems like) have been in Tel Aviv so far. The closer they get to Jerusalem...well, it'll get interesting to say the least.
 
The Third Temple - Where?

To be categorically exact regarding Israel's function as the "Catalyst for the Countdown", one further event was specified as a prerequisite. This was the temple with its inner sanctum, The Holy Place"; according to the signs predicted by Jesus (Matt 24:15) and Paul (2 Thess 2:4).

Many commentators have relegated this to the obscure future, because they consider the temple has to be constructed on Mount Moriah, the site of Herod's temple. The insurmountable object of course, is that the Dome of the Rock, the second most holy place of Islam, already occupies that position.

This is an entirely false premise, however, that has created confusion. The Temple built by Solomon, the Temple frequented by Jesus and His Disciples were both built on Mount Moriah. Ezekiel predicts that another will be constructed on the same place after Jesus returns in Glory.

Every reference to all three Temples on this site was a translation of the Greek Word "Hieron".

Any "Temple" erected elsewhere was invariably from the Greek word "Naos". This word is frequently rendered "Meeting Place", "Dwelling" or "Synagogue". It is the later word "Naos" that is used by Paul (2 Thess 2:4) in reference to the Temple used by contemporary Israel. It has
absolutely no connection exegetically with the site on Mt. Moriah. In fact there is no prerequisite for it to be built there. To the contrary, in line with Greek usage, it must be constructed elsewhere.


The Embassy of Israel advises that on August 1982, in the Presence of the Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, Members of Cabinet and many other notables, the Jerusalem great Synagogue was dedicated. It is situated in King George Street, and is constructed from the same local stone as was Solomon's Temple. The central feature is a high tower containing five magnificent stained-glass windows, topped by two tablets of stone, bearing the Ten Commandments.

The Temple referred to by Paul is built!

In the interior, marble has been used extensively, especially for the Ark situated beneath the stained-glass windows. This I believe is the Holy Place which will be desecrated by the "Abomination of Desolation" referred to by Jesus (Matthew 24:15)

The countdown is well on the way.

OK.

When you add up all the Scriptures in the Bible, 27% of them are prophetic. Some refer to Old Test. and some to the New Test.

The Old Test is 28.5 % and the New Test is 21.5 %.

Prophecy in the Bible can be divided into two broad groups: ........
1. fulfilled and
2. not yet fulfilled.

At least one half of all biblical predictions have already been fulfilled precisely as God had declared.
Source: (Payne, J. B., The Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy, Baker Pub. Group, 1980, p. 675).

Now the key to this is that 100% of what God has said would happen, has happened.

God said that the A/C would STAND in Gods Holy Place and declare himself as God. Since there is NO Holy Place in Jerusalem besides the Temple, there must then be a 3rd Temple built.

I wonder what the world will say when Israel begins to use animal sacrifices in their 3rd Temple?
The Rabbis in the Jewish faith are now saying that there will be "GRAIN" sacrifices instead of animals.

“Then the grain-offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to God as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.” (Malachi 3:4)

Nevertheless, the majority of rabbis maintain that animal sacrifice will resume to some extent in the third Temple.
Can you imagine what the ASPCA will say and do at that time?????

I will not argue that point. What we (Me) think is not what God does.

Contrary to the prevailing view, there has been groundbreaking new research that argues that the Dome of the Rock Islamic shrine, which sits atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, is not the location of the historic Jewish temple. author Christian Widener challenges the widely-held belief about where the ancient structure was once situated. He explains in great detail why the actual site is a mere stone's throw away on the Mount.

Source: The Temple Revealed: The True Location of The Jewish Temple Hidden In Plain Sight,

The Jews building a 3rd Temple where Solomons Temple was, is just My Opinion.

Where is not the question. The important thing is that God said there would be one.
 
Once again, I think y'all are concerning yourselves with things that don't matter.
We will never know the what, why, when, and how, of God's will in the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
To make an educated guess from what is available in scripture is futile in my opinion. I think it goes against His plans for us.
Are we not to have faith? Does any of this effect your life right now, today?
Bringing others to understanding of salvation is what matters.

According to the last chapters of Ezekiel, there is going to be another temple somewhere. Read it yourself.

Yes, I agree. That is in the millennium and on the sacred site for the glory of God will be over it.

If it is in the Millennium, why does God say in 2 Thess. 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 God."

Before the A/C can sit in the Temple of God, it seems to me that a temple must be present for that event to occur in.

Jesus didn’t dismiss the disciples’ request or tell them the information was above their pay grade or that knowledge about the last days was something that didn't matter.

He spoke of the events of the Tribulation in details connecting them with the prophecies of Daniel. He offered a glimpse of the signs that would precede His Second Coming. More to the point, Jesus rewarded His followers’ hunger for knowledge about Bible prophecy. He wanted them to understand end-times events.

I actually understand what you are saying, however......and I say this with all due respect to you, it is a shortsighted thought.

We all need to know that there are more than 1,800 references to the Second Coming of Christ in the Old Testament. Then in the New Test. there are 300 more. In fact, for every prophecy that deals with the first coming of Jesus, eight prophecies deal with His Second Coming. In fact, 23 out of the 27 books in the New Testament give prominence to the theme of Christ’s Second Coming. If biblical prophecy is that important to God, it should also be important to us.

Another important detail is that the `temple` the A/C sets himself up in does NOT have a veil blocking off the most holy place. Instead the people can see the image set up. This is a picture of the altar in Jerusalem`s temple today without the veil.

Your opinion is Im being shortsighted. My opinion is this topic has been so extensively exhausted on repeat that this energy is better spent helping bring the good news of salvation to the lost. Many have tried to predict the second coming of Christ to no avail. I believe it will be when God himself decides, and not because someone decided to figure it out through prophecies originally meant for the apostles.

It was GOD who established the location for the first Temple, and that location has never been forgotten or confused throughout Jewish history.2 Medieval Jewish scholar Moses Maimonides, in his massive commentary, Mishneh Torah, contended that once the Temple site was fixed in the days of Samuel and King David, it could not be changed (Beth Ha’behira 1:3–4). The Bible supports this view in its description of the official rebuilding of the structure after the Babylonian exile:

Ezra 5:15-16............
"And he [Persian King Cyrus] said to him [Sheshbazzar], “Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.” Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem".

Therefore, the second Temple was built on the restored ruins of King Solomon’s first Temple (9:9). Herod the Great’s renovation to the second Temple was completed on this same foundation.
Source...... (Josephus Antiquities 15.388–89, 391).

I agree that it was God who established where the sacred site would be for His Temple. However, the temple that the anti-Christ sets himself up in as God, is not on that sacred site but in Israel`s temple that they use now.
