Just as in Jeremiah's day, when attempting to rebuild the house of God, it was done so with armament in one hand and tool in the other! I believe this shall be the case with regards to the third temple as well. Perhaps if we are still here to see this come to pass, this will be when we are Raptured? Any thoughts? TR I don't know, TR. Seems more likely the AC would stand guard for the builders until his intended shrine is complete. Good point. But war and temple build at the same time is possible. Not that they would resist the temple, but Israel be engaged on two fronts. TR Ok popping more popcorn, life is so exciting these days. :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Anybody else want some? FYI - It’s a virtual sharing :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: They said the same thing about war breaking out with making Jerusalem the capital of Israel and moving the embassies to Jerusalem... :wacko: Oh the popcorn sounds so tempting but I can’t ... I’m on a clear liquid diet because tomorrow will be the unpleasant colonoscopy exam. 🙁 Speaking about moving ... in the next 18 months 90,000 Jews worldwide will be making aliyah - Fair Use - Oh Geri, I’m so sorry you got lied to about drinking the “go-lytly ”, because you will not Go lightly in preparation for the colon exam - such a non thinking test, just saying :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: I’ll keep you in prayer, that everything comes out alright! :wacko: :mdrmdr: Yes, I had to drink that “go-lytly” it taste like salty fish water! UGH! :negative: Its a miracle I was able to get 12 8 oz glasses down (I put some apple juice in each glass to cover up the taste) ... then early tomorrow morning it will be the remaining 1/4 solution ... 🙁 :thankyou for your prayers. I appreciate it. Update ... the procedure was successfully done and the doctor found no polyps! This is shocking because I have been in a lot of pain for months with inflammation in my intestines and colon. I truly thought I had blockage and my blood test last week showed I might have cancer with a CEA blood level reading of 4.6 ... normal reading for a non-smoker is 0- 3 range. So I’m praising the Lord for this healing miracle! And I thank you all who were praying for me. :rose: The doctor said I don’t need to go back until 5 more years. Well ... I hope to have a brand new body by then. B-) Also all was not in vain ... I got a chance to witness to this older gentlemen who was in the waiting room having the same procedure done. The hospital required us to wear face masks and he looked at me and said these masks are ridiculous they are making us wear and before you know we started to talk about the NWO and the hidden agenda for about 15 minutes. Then the nurse call me into another room so I quickly gave him a Bible tract and said nice talking to you, hope your procedure goes well and here is something for you to read while waiting. He thanked me. I don't think it's going to be the same as it was when the second temple was built. Currently, the political situation won't allow for rebuilding. That will suddenly change, and I believe it will be in the aftermath of the defeat of Israel's enemies, likely following the war of Ezekiel 38-39. Attempting to build now would certainly cause World War 3; it might only be accomplished following such a war, when God intervenes so dramatically that no one can deny He is on Israel's side. There would have to be a total change in Israel's form of government for the construction to proceed. When it does happen, Islam will no longer present an obstacle.
