Three and a half years from when?
The last three and a half years, the three and a half years from the time Satan is thrown out of heaven, the three and a half years of the reign of the antichrist, and of the sojourn of the woman in the wilderness.
There will be no “third temple”. Those in Christ are the only temple God is concerned with, anything else would be the temple of Satan.
Satan was thrown out of heaven before Adam and Eve ..... this passage from Revelations is from the past .... not the future
Thats Odd He is there in Heaven in Job chapter one!

It feels like he’s here. Things are heating up big time. His minions are out of hiding; out loud and proud, too. The world is shaping up for his evil ideals and work. It’s so weird.
It is true that anti-Christ will reign for 3 1/2 years, that Satan will be unleashed on earth for that time period, and that Israel will be sheltered and fed for that long. It does not say that the Great Tribulation will last for the entire 3 1/2 years.
The Great Tribulation is a time of great persecution of believers but is also a time of trouble that affects all people. God’s earlier plagues in Egypt affected the Egyptians and Jews, but later He made a distinction. Likewise, the Great Tribulation will be cut short because otherwise “no flesh” would be saved. But the remainder of the 3 1/2 years will be a time of God’s wrath poured out on the earth while those Jews who have been sealed are protected from these things.
The book of Revelation of Jesus Christ ( for that is what it is really called , a revelation of Jesus Christ ) is a hard book to understand.
One part says “ behold the lamb that was slain before the foundations of the world. “
Is it in choronogical order ?
Was the devil cast out of heaven before Adam and Eve ? Or is it some future event waiting to happen ?
It tells us that Jesus Christ was slain before the foundations of the world.
Does it transcend our time and earth ?
Is it a snapshot of what happens in eternity and here on earth with the events to about to unfold here on earth ?
So when the war happens in the heavens between Michael the angel and the devil and his fallen ones, will we be able to see it and know about it ?
What heavens is it talking about, in the Clouds ? Or just outside of earth ? Or in outer space ? Or the heavens where God’s throne is ?
Paul talked about different “ Heavens “ .
Will these be the “ signs “ in the heavens that Jesus Christ talked about that people will see and be fearful of ?
You are correct. The curtain was torn at the crucifixion and ended the Temple era. To go back to the old covenant Temple and sacrifices would contradict the entire book of Hebrews.
To those who will build the actual temple,the book of Hebrews holds no weight.They wont be going back,they haven't left.
yet!
In which case such an act would have nothing to do with the Christian paradigm of the book of Revelation.
That's nice but it doesn't mean a temple wont be built.
What Scripture do you use that indicates a new temple must be built? Thanks for your response.
