Good morning Frank!  I noticed with interest your comments (and sketch) about the need to rebuild the temple.  I’d like to share with you a ‘word’ that the Lord (through the Spirit) shared with me about this subject.  Just an additional thought for your review. 

 

            “The temple (the church/body of Christ) must be rebuilt because the foundation is broken and the temple  therefore out of alignment.” 

He also told me that the temple cannot be fixed but must be rebuilt.  This reminded me of a building whose foundation is broken and the building itself out of alignment.  Buildings in this shape are usually torn down and a new building rebuilt.

 

             He also told me that “the manifold sons of God would soon appear and would lead the effort to rebuild and restore the temple”.  I took this to mean that....what we have understood is not wrong but  incomplete.

 

              I can also say that the subjects of “the Gospel of Salvation and the Gospel of the Kingdom” are at the heart of the work that the sons of God will be sent to do.

 

              Now, this does not mean that the temple in Israel will not be rebuilt.  One does not necessarily preclude the other. 

 

              I am certainly not adamant about this, just reporting a different viewpoint.  Both may be right  I am enjoying your posts and always look forward to seeing them.
