Hi Sherry,
Sonchild and Doves,
There was a
great point by Grant Jeffrey made that I had forgotten about
that drives home the point that there will be a physical
temple standing in the middle of the Tribulation. For
those that believe otherwise, ask yourself how the Jews are
going to see the "abomination of
desolation" in order to escape as is directed by our Lord in
the Olivet Discourse:
Matthew 24:15-21 “Therefore when you see
the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let
him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to
the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down
to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in
the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those
who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in
those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter
or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great
tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of
the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
It would be very difficult for
the Jews to try to decifer a spiritual meaning to this
passage in order to be saved. If I were to read
this passage to my almost 7 year old and ask him what
it means, I am confident he would tell me that Jesus said
when bad stuff is happening in a temple that
its time to head for the hills.
Another point that is not in
the video is that a similar warning was given back
when the Temple was destroyed in 70AD.
Luke 21:21-24 “But when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its
desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee
to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her
depart, and let not those who are in the country enter
her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things
which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who
are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those
days! For there will be great distress in the land and
wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of
the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And
Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of
the Gentiles are fulfilled.
This was a clear warning to the
Jews, that when Jerusalem was surrouded it was time to
get out of Dodge. As shown above the VERY similar
warning was also given regarding the defiling of a Jewish
Temple.
I have no doubt there will be a
temple constructed before the middle of the
Tribulation. I myself have seen with my own eyes many
of the items that have been constructed and intended to
use in this next temple. The people at the Temple
Institute in Jerusalem are dead serious about constructing a
temple and have spent loads of money getting ready for it.

They have pictures of most of
the items at their website:
Thank you Sonchild for sharing
