Hi Donna D,


After pondering further on your question to me, I realised I must clarify further on why I believe what I believe. If you carefully read the text in Revelation 11....."I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar with it's worshippers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it because it has been given over to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months".


As I said before, in order for this temple to be called the "Temple of God" in holy scripture - it genuinely has to be THE temple of God. Not some blasphemous, hastily man-made built edifice. Put together for the purpose of the AC to make his entrance, plonk his backside on God's seat and declare himself as god. It HAS to be THE temple of God that the AC is desecrating.


Our LORD Jesus is going to fight an earthly battle and kill the AC. This is all happening on earth. The true temple of God cannot be built by the Jewish people in Israel, in their current state of not following the laws of the Covenant. As they are still required to do. This is a heavenly intervention. In the 42 months of Great Tribulation, it seems that the Gentiles can only trample the outer courts of the temple but not the temple itself.


To be honest - I am confused about the EQ mentioned in Rev 11:19. Is this the same EQ mentioned in Rev 6:12 ? How much of this drama are we believers going to witness here on earth? Is the EQ of Rev 11:19 the destroyer of the current Dome of the Rock - to make way for the heavenly temple to take it's rightful place?


All I know, for certain, is that an earthly man-made temple cannot be holy to Almighty God under the current circumstances. It has to be THE temple- which currently resides in heaven. WITH the Ark of the Covenant.


Blessings to all,


Fay
