Does The Return Of Jesus Christ
Require The Building Of A Third Temple
Yes or No?

John 2:15-22 NIV
15. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
17. His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
18. The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
19. Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20. They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”
21. But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
22. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

The Dangers Of Believing There Will Be A Third Temple
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hebrews 10:1-39 – NIV
1. The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.
3. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.
4. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;”
6. With burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.
7. Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about me in the scroll, I have come to do your will, my God.’”
8. First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”, though they were offered in accordance with the law.
9. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
10. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11. Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13. And since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.
14. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16. “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17. Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18. And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
19. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20. By a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,
21. And since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
25. Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26. If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
27. But only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
28. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30. For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32. Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.
33. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
34. You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
35. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37. For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”
38. And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”
39. But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

TRUMP becomes KING! Immortalized with CYRUS on TEMPLE Shekel at Lunar New Year

Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration ‘Enormous Step Towards Bringing Third Temple’
President Donald Trump’s epic proclamation on Wednesday acknowledging Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Jewish people was a major step towards establishing the Third Temple and bringing the Messianic era, said a number of Jewish activists working to rebuild the Holy Temple.
“What he did last night was an enormous step in bringing the Temple,” Asaf Fried, official spokesman for the United Temple Movement, an association of organizations working towards making the Third Temple a reality, told Breaking Israel News.
He added, “This necessarily had to come from a non-Jew in order to bring them into the process, so they will be able to take their part in the Temple.”
Fried compared Trump’s role to that of Cyrus, the Persian King who ended the Babylonian exile and helped build the Second Jewish Temple. Fried cited Proverbs to emphasize this point.
Like channeled water is the mind of the king in Hashem’s hand; He directs it to whatever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1
“There have been amazing advances towards bringing the Temple this year. It was clear that Trump was part of that process, guided by Hashem (God),” Fried declared.
Yakov Hayman, the United Temple Movement chairman, saw Trump’s statement as part of a historical progression joining a number of major shifts in modern history for Israel and the Jewish people.
“1917 was the Balfour Declaration establishing Israel for the nations,” Hayman told Breaking Israel News. “2017 was Trump’s declaration.”
He said it was now only a matter of time until non-Jews made a similar declaration recognizing the Temple Mount as the site of the Jewish Temples, but noted that to move forward, it was necessary for foot soldiers in the cause to take the first steps. “When Jews and non-Jews go up en masse, the Temple is inevitable.”
Hayman emphasized that all of the stages in this process required a multifaith effort, with Jews and non-Jews performing different roles while moving towards a mutual goal.
“The people of Israel are returning to their roots while simultaneously the non-Jews of the world are realizing the authenticity of our claim to the Temple Mount and our right to build a Jewish Temple as a House of Prayer for All Nations,” Hayman explained.
“These processes are codependent. It depends on the Jews, our actions, but the non-Jews are an essential part of the process.”
“Our task is to act as priests to make the whole world holy,” Hayman said, citing Exodus.
You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Exodus 19:6
“That will only happen in a Temple in Jerusalem,” he emphasized. “The next step, the most important step, must be taken by the Jews. We need to begin going up to the Temple Mount in massive numbers. Once we do that, the Temple is the next inevitable step.”
He noted that Trump’s personality is uniquely suited for the role of the non-Jewish leader who begins the Messianic process.
“There is something very special and holy in Trump,” Hayman said. “Sometimes, he appears coarse and not connected to religion, but every time he addresses the nation he speaks about God. Last night, he said his motivation for recognizing Jerusalem was because it was the right thing to do. That is precisely how a leader guided by God should speak.”
Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, was cautiously optimistic.
“One year ago, the Sanhedrin called on Trump to build the Temple as Cyrus did 2,000 years ago,” Rabbi Weiss told Breaking Israel News. “He has clearly moved in this direction but there is still a long way to go and many pitfalls that could prevent that from happening.”
“Trump is facing enormous political pressures,” Rabbi Weiss noted. “The borders of Jerusalem are still open to negotiation. The Temple Mount is still not a settled issue and the United Nations is working hard at trying to convince the world the Jews have no place there. If Trump is to succeed, the Jews have to come together in unity in order for him to remain strong.”

Isaiah 45:1-7
1. Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3. And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4. For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5. I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Revelation 11:1-2
1. And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. (3 1/2 years)
