Interesting letter Sandra.I understand your concerns about correctly interpreting the bibleHowever this issue re the temple is of great debate.Many Christians do not see it's necessity because of what Jesus did on the cross.He ended sacrifice for sin forever.So Jonathan isn't the only one who says this.So you have to be careful of some of the debates.Some folks try to make it sound like you are unbiblical if you disagree with them on an issue of controversy.I am not saying that Jonathan is perfect, he certainly has his flaws and I think he would admit that.So to we, nobody here is perfect, we all have some disagreements.I was involved with a dig in Israel twice re the second temple.So I don't rule it outBut what Jonathan shared about Jesus saying he was the temple is true.His temple [body] was tore down and restored in 3 daysObama did stand at the freedom tower and say "Be still and know that I am God"So some of us think that he will be assassinated and rise in 3 days because that would mimic Christ.Thus he would be the anti christ.If this war happens in Israel, the big hero that will stop the fighting will be the ACHe will go to Israel and probably stand in the temple mount Dome of the RockThat building is built over the rock in which Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son IsaacThat building is built out of the original templeThe beautiful marble columns in that building were from the original templeHowever they are now upside down.Isn't that fitting for the AC?The Dome of the Rock2nd picture is of the rock, it has a fence around itYou see the beautiful columns there too.
