All Israel should feel so ashamed for how the reacted to God giving them the Temple Mount. From my perspective, it appeared as if they didn’t want it when God placed it in their hands. I suspect that far too many Jews don’t want a Temple because of what it means for them personally and for the world. Instead of being a great blessing, they see the Temple as a curse.

[Jan_Sobieski]

The Jews do not understand that the Church is the 3rd Temple. God destroyed the first temple (with the Arc) so that the second one could come (without the Arc that represents Jesus). Jesus came into the second temple soon thereafter to take the place of the Arc.

The second temple was destroyed so that the 3rd Temple could be completed (the Church). I believe that the church will be taken away (raptured) before the 4th temple is complete. Fructenbaum calls the 4th temple, the apostate, or tribulation temple (Isaiah 66)
