I'm of the opinion that the third temple has been in the building stage since Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came down and baptized all that were in the Upper Room and Peter went out and preached bringing in 3,000 believers in Christ as their Messiah.

 

1 Cor. 6:19 [KJV] "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"

John 18:36 "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."

Mark 14:58 "We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."

John 4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

 

    So the third temple will not be a building made with hands but is already a building consisting of many bodies [Christians] still in the building stage. 

    The antichrist is an unbeliever to proclaim enthronement of the [un]holy spirit and call himself a 'god'.  John the Revelator said there were already, at that time, many antichrists/unbelievers:  Some proclaimed to be the Messiah. 

 

2 Thes. 2:3-4 [KJV] "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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 [a] God." "a" supplied by me.

 

    We have arrived at that point-in-time, but no one is going to rebuild Solomon's, or Herod's temple.

 

May God bless the reading of His word, jfh
