Question: Just some questions for you in your opinion.
Do you think the 3rd Temple will also be the 1000 year millennium Temple or will a 4th Temple be built because the Abomination of Desolation occurs in the 3rd Temple and would then be considered defiled by the Anti-christ?
And if there is a 4th Temple would it be made by Jesus by Himself?
Just curious what your opinions are on these matters for the 1000 year reign? We know after the 1000 year reign there will be a New Heaven and Earth that won’t need a Temple.
Revelation 21:22 KJV
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus holy and mighty name!
Well that is a nice question, we are in the season of transition. The third temple is actually the Antichrist temple, where he will sit on it boasting himself as god, which shows that he is the one who will be building it and through that one act (Ezra 6:7-17) , the whole nation of Israel will receive him as their MESSIAH (John 5:43), which will make them enter into the "Jacobs's trouble" which will be judgment of God and his Wrath through the seven Trumpets of the two witnesses (2 Thess 2:3-4). This is confirmed by God's instructions to the two prophets to measure the space of the Holy Place and Holy of Holies, where the spiritual temple of God will be built once Jesus Christ comes to establish the earmarked place for the future Fourth Temple (Rev 11:1-3).
The Scripture clearly describes in Ezekiel , how a Fourth temple will be raised up, when He comes to save the Jews from annihilation at His Second Coming, when He comes the second time to the present Earth to rebuild the Temple and to restore worship and settle the 12 Tribes of Israel around the Fourth Temple for a thousand years time (Ezekiel 40-48).
From the Old Testament the New Testament confirms it through the apostles when it says, "11 On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” SAYS THE LORD who does this thing." (Amos 9:11-12), thus in Acts 15:15-17 the apostles further explained the rise of Church among the Gentiles from the Jews saying, "15: "And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 16: 'After this I will RETURN And will REBUILD the tabernacle of David, which has FALLEN DOWN; I will rebuild its RUINS, And I will SET IT UP; 17: SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND may seek the LORD, EVEN ALL THE GENTILES who are called by My name, Says the LORD who does all these things.'"
We see in the above verses, the Scripture speaks about Jesus Christ after returning at the Second Coming will do the following things, ultimately "REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID", what happened to it? It has fallen down, how? Because whether with the temple or without it, the TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD has been lost by the Jews. David reminded that the Temple on the Mount is not the ultimate, which Jesus taught it as worshipping God in the spirit and truth, which is the true worship of God acceptable to Him to bring joy to his heart (John 4:22-32). Hallelujah!
The very fact that Jesus Christ will set the Fourth Temple from the ruins of the Third Temple of Antichrist shows that, the area in which the Third Temple stood needs to be cleansed by Jesus Christ, before the fourth temple can be built upon it (Ezek 39:16).
So first a temporary structure of the tabernacle of David will operate for some period of time into the Millenial Kingdom of Jesus Christ and the Church. Then the Fourth temple will be raised upon the ruins of the cleansed area of the Third, then Jesus will set the twelve tribes of Israel all around the Fourth Temple to establish the GREATER ISRAEL, so that the rest of the mankind of Gentiles who are called by his name, as Millenial "Christians", may seek the Lord in the Millennium of God's Kingdom, thus receiving through it a relationship with God and blessings on Earth as it is in heaven for the Glory of God (Matt 6:10).
The Church inherits the New Heaven and New Earth immediately after the marriage and reception supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:7-9, 14; 2 Pet 3:13), and this will not be after the Millenial Kingdom rule, because when it comes back with Jesus Christ to the earth, it is already dressed, rewarded and glorified with the inherited eternal salvation blessings of being "clothed in fine linen, white and clean" followed the Lamb on white horses as the "armies in heaven" (Rev 14:1-5), by having inherited the New Heaven and New Earth, out of which or from where we as the Church will operate for the rest of the Millennium. Thus Revelation 21:1-27 is a flashback of the Millennium and Rev 22:1-21 is a pratical work of the Church during the Millennium explained to make the readers understand, that the reward or punishment for the practical readers of the Book 📖 Of Revelation is over once the Rapture is over, as the expiry date of Earth will be over once the Millennium is over, and therefore there cannot be anything added or removed from it except the fulfillment.
After the old heaven and old earth in Revelation 20:1-15 gets over and done, the old heaven and old earth finishes God's purpose to be burnt and become invisible gas because the expiry date for it will be over by then after the Millennium (Rev 22:1-21; 2 Pet 3:10-12). Glory to God!
During the Millennium we as the Church don't need a temple, for the Church this state of worshipping in spirit and truth continues into the New Heaven and New Earth even as we will be receiving the revelatory light of God Himself in person from the New Jerusalem City, it becomes the new normal for the Church after the Rapture from earth.
Therefore wherever the Presence of God is realised and worshiped in Spirit and truth, in a personal relationship aspect of one on one with the Father and the Son, together with God we become the temple of God, and that very place becomes a place of stay for God and with God ALMIGHTY, for both God and us we delight in each other eternally! Glory to God!
Hallelujah!
Much Blessings.....
