"Pastor FM Riley: I'm afraid that I may be one of those people that you spoke about last week"



Pastor Riley,
    I'm afraid that I may be one of those people that you spoke about last week.
I had written something, asking questions about the possibility of there not being a 3rd temple.
However, since I've been saved, I've actually always believed that there would be a 3rd temple.
That is also what I've only taught.
It was here, on 5 Doves, where I thought to ask the questions that I asked.
I had wondered how the antichrist could make the 3rd temple desolate.
I had thought that it could only become desolate if the glory of the LORD had been there and departed.
I realize that the presence of the beast, sitting in there, and his image in the holy place, would cause that.
But I remembered that Jesus had said in these three lines in Matthew:

Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

I had thought the house was left desolate when Jesus departed, and would be so until he returned in glory.
I was unable to reconcile all this, but I realize that it is merely a problem with my understanding, or misunderstanding.
Your rebuke, last week, was well written, and I accept it.
I would only ask you to please help me reconcile the three scriptures, above, with the clear teaching on the 3rd temple.
        Thank you,
            Gino
