I guess this true Temple is why there is no scriptures or need for a new manmade Temple to ever be built again.

AMENAMENAMENAMENAMENAMENAMENAMENAMEN!!!

It matters not me whether another temple is rebuilt. God is done with that stuff, and we are the temple of the holy Ghost. Jesus already built His church on the Rock. The true temple has come. The New testament says nothing about an additional one.

I'm impressed with your take on this. A lot of Preterists insist on Revelation 11 depicting the actual temple, thereby dating it prior to AD 70.

The reason preterists mention the temple destruction is because of the words of the prophecy that say 42 months would see Jerusalem wiped out. That is exactly how long it took Rome to accomplish this by the time ad70. The temple was in Jerusalem. They do not mean that the temple in the vision is an actual temple Rome wiped out, I think anyway.

If we read it closely, the temple was symbolic of the church and the outer court was symbolic of Jerusalem.

Hutch,

But, ya know... there's like a special "cohen" strand of dna.

Isn't that what was needed in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah?

Ezr 2:59-62 "And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they COULD NOT SHEW THEIR FATHER'S HOUSE, and THEIR SEED WHETHER THEY WERE OF ISRAEL: The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood."

Biblical return must have a Biblical register of lineage. Without it we do not have a Biblical return over in Israel today. niether can anyone Biblically be able to restore the temple, or any priesthood. The prophet Jeremiah told Judah, that they would be in captivity for 70 years, which isn't a long time to corrupt all their seed. Those who had taken strange wives, had to put away, wives and children born in that union. Nehemiah made sure that Judah, aand Levite were pure to their lineage. Judah was cast out of Israel in 70 AD, and was mingled with every seed under heaven, unable to keep track of their families and lineage. 2,000 years and climbing, and you have no one who can prove their direct unbroken lineage as they could do in the days of Ezra, Nehemiah, Jesus and the apostles. Therefore Biblically there is no way a third temple can be established under the guide lines of Torah.

So, lets vote in Pel to be the money changer at the third temple, and Prax to sell Gumbo and Boudin by the renovated wailing wall.

These individuals below could of been tested for being in a DNA of priest, yet it is NOT about cells in the body that are the same as other priest. It is about who these individuals were related to, and who they had married.
Who were connected to these individuals. While the individuals were known to have priests in their families, they still didn't have the right genealogy.

Ezr 2:61-62 "And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: THESE SOUGHT THEIR REGISTER AMONG THOSE THAT WERE RECKONED BY GENEALOGY, BUT THEY WERE NOT FOUND: THEREFORE WERE THEY, AS POLLUTED, PUT FROM THE PRIESHOOD."

However, this doesn't mean that its impossible that a third temple will be built, only that it is not necessarily in the plan of God.

I'm open to the possibility of a third temple, but it has nothing to do with God's plan of salvation. IF a third temple is built it would simply be the Jews reaching out to God as best they know how (since they blindly reject their Messiah).

And for the sake of argument lets assume that the Temple in Revelation 11 is a future Third Temple. Just because its included in prophecy doesn't mean its God's will, just that He already knows.

Again, just for arguments sake, lets say there was a THIRD TEMPLE bult on the mount, and they resumed animal sacrifice, and the complete New Testament was silent about any type of temple. Would not that cause some serious confusion amongst Christians? Especially if fire came down from heaven (Rev 13) and a Christian leader (say the Pope) put their stamp of apporval on it, even to the point of taking credit for the fire consuming the sacrifice?

Now then, I'm taking a nuetral stance on this topic for this thread, but I'm just sayin' IF the futurist interpretation was correct, it would be very helpful to the generation of people which would see these things come to pass. And even if the preterists want to say its far fecthed, the whole reason we are able to discuss it with any relevance is because there are people (Jews) who truly believe its God will for them to build a temple, and will continue to work to see the day that comes to pass. It's not as impossible as some want to make it seem.

A third temple may or may not be built. It is of no consequence, though. If built, it does not mean it was foretold in the New Testament. That is the issue. Many things are done as supposed fulfillments of prophecy when in reality they fulfilled nothing.
