The sign to Rebuild the Temple.

The sign they are looking for, God to destroy the opposition, such as the war of Gog and Magog. It will be led by a man or spirit named "Gog" and attack Israel, to destroy the people trying to restore it. It won't be America that saves it, but will be God with an earthquake centered on the middle east and destroy this million man army. They will be destroyed and it will take 7 months to bury the dead. God devastates them militarily. Islam has tried to destroy Christianity, but has been defeated a number of times. Russian and Islamic powers will back off and Israel will see it as a sign to rebuild. They will resume animal sacrifice. The Antichrist will stop the sacrifices during the 7 year period (3 1/2 yrs). The rapture can happen anytime, yet before the 7 year peace treaty.
================
There are some major reasons why it’s clear that the third temple will be rebuilt soon. First, the Jewish temple plays a major role in the end times as described in the verses above. There are also organizations preparing to rebuild the temple in a short period of time. These organizations such as the Temple Mount Institute and the Temple Mount Faithful are dedicated to educating and preparing for the third temple. There is some amazing work going on that will make it possible to not only rebuild the temple but also resume sacrifices there. Items are being restored and or created to duplicate what the bible describes as items that will be used in the temple. Red heifers have been found and prepared for sacrifices. Finally, descendents of the Tribe of Levi are being trained for service in the future temple. Levites had special duties in the original two temples.

The problem with all of this is twofold. The Muslim nations in the Middle East would see any rebuilding of the temple as an act of war. Satan is doing everything he can to resist the prophecy of the end times and he will do what it takes to slow things down. The other obstacle is that the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosgue are traditionally believed to be standing on the site of the Jewish Temple. Israel owns and controls Jerusalem yet to appease the Muslims after the 6 Day War; they let a Muslim council known as the Waqf control the Temple Mount. So what will change the game and allow for the construction of the third temple?

Location, Location, Location
The location of the original temple is in question. Again, traditionally most say the Dome of the Rock stands in the way. This of course is a huge obstacle for rebuilding the third temple as the Dome of the Rock would have to be destroyed first. If Israel wasn’t willing to do this after the 1967; 6 Day War, I can’t see them doing it today. So it would take a major war to cause the destruction of the Dome of the Rock. This is possible but what if they didn’t have to? Read this verse;

Revelation 11
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. 2But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.

In the 1970’s, Dr. Asher Kaufman’s research showed that the temple was located 330 feet to the north of the Dome of the Rock. So it seems like a plausible scenario could be the following; The Antichrist signs a peace treaty with the Muslims and the Jews. A part of the peace treaty allows the Jews to rebuild their temple on the temple mount just north of the Dome of the Rock after they agree to split Jerusalem. Once completed, the Dome of the Rock would stand side by side to the third Jewish temple. This would mean the Dome of the Rock would sit in the area that is the courtyard in the original temple layout, fulfilling Revelation 11.

just like the mexican fellow down the street is not the jesus of the bible, neither is that hell hole the israel of the bible.

if you follow jesus(the one in the bible) then you know he said his kingdom is not of this world and also that the kingdom of heaven was inside of us, not outside.

the state of israel is basically a political tool and a deception perpetrated using the doctrines of men in the scofield bible. its been working for almost 100 years now.

beware, the dragon knows he has but a little time left.
