Christian prophecies about the end of the world predict a Third Holy Temple will be built in Jerusalem in the end days. End of the world eschatology claims the Third Temple will rise before the biblical apocalypse. Many Christian evangelists and preachers believe the Third Temple is also linked to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Discussions of the end times approaching were sparked in November 2018 in response to a letter penned by the Jewish assembly of rabbis known as the Sanhedrin.
Jerusalem at the time was in the grips of a mayoral election and the Sanhedrin urged both running candidates, Ofer Berkovich and Moshe Lion, to rebuild the temple.
The first two Holy Temples of Jerusalem were constructed on the city’s Temple Mount centuries ago but were destroyed by the Babylonians and the Romans respectively.
The Holy Temple plays a crucial role in Jewish tradition and is a central player in prophecies and tales concerning the apocalypse.
Christian pastor and doomsday preacher Paul Begley has claimed the signs of the end times are coming to fruition.

End Times Ping
Interesting little read about the soon to be Third Temple.
Scoffers will say it won’t happen, but it will.
PM me if you wish to be added/removed from the End Times Ping list.
Maranatha!
Hey! That’s my house! :)
I was really into this end times stuff for at least 20 years. I learned a lot, but the most important thing I learned is that nobody really knows. However, if you are diligent, it won’t surprise you when it happens.
It is also part of the reason I moved from my home of 46 years, Seattle, to a hobby farm in rural Kentucky 9 years ago. It was the second best decision I ever made.
The funny thing, for me, is that nobody - not one person - saw Jesus as the answer to prophesy until AFTER his resurrection and he TOLD THEM. Plenty studied it, and they ALL got it wrong.
Much of what is in the bible is like a man trying to explain the color red to a man that only sees in black and white. And know this: When we need to “see red”, we will see it.
“Pastor Begley enthusiastically claimed we are now living “in the last days”.”
We have been living in the “last days” since AD33.
You’re right that nobody really knows, but we are to be wise and know the season. Paul even says that the “end times” won’t surprise us. But the exact date and all the perfect details are not for us to know.
I think everybody who’s ever wrote a commentary on Prophecy is wrong about some things.
We’re all looking through the glass darkly (1 Corinthians 13:12) that sort of “know”.
long article about the construction of a Third Temple, and yet not a single mention of the Dome of the Rock, which stands in its way. This has been discussed at least since the ‘70s (Hal Lindsey made a fortune off of it).
True!
Or as John states in 1 John 2:18, “it is the last hour”.
Day with God is like 1,000 years, etc (2 Peter 3:8).
Can someone post a bit more from the article? It is almost impossible to read that site on my browser.
The main flaw in all that reasoning is that temple worship was canceled when the curtain to the Holy of Holies was split at the crucifixion of Jesus.
There could be fifteen buildings constructed and called a temple, but it won’t be sanctioned by God.
Remember, there’s no time-clock ticking that we can discern during this current 2000-year dispensation of grace among the gentiles (”no man knows the day or the hour”) but we do know “the times and the seasons”, and as Children of Light, we should be aware the end of the age is very near. Certain signs like the third temple, tell us the end is very near.
But prophetic days and hours are reserved for God’s salvation of Israel which is coming soon. Daniels’ seventieth week, the seven-year horrific tribulation, will begin the day Jesus takes his own out of here along with the Holy Spirit. Party in Heaven but “Woe to them that dwell on the earth.” The irony for Israel will be that they will both be saved and suffer “Jacob’s trouble” - more trouble ever seen - worse than the Holocaust.
There has been a lot of discussion over the past few decades that the Dome of the Rock might not be in the way, and that the true location of the Temple Mount is different.
I haven’t spent enough time to really dig into all the theories.

Except the Magi.
LoL I agree with you...
True, but Jews don’t believe in our reasoning.
It’s exactly why God will turn His Face and show them who He is (again and for the last time).
“Except the Magi.”
And Simeon & Anna.
Christian pastor and doomsday preacher Paul Begley has claimed the signs of the end times are coming to fruition.
The Indiana-based preacher said: “The rabbis of the Sanhedrin court are calling both mayor candidates to include in their plans for this city the rebuilding of the third temple.
“Folks, this is as close to Biblical prophecy – I don’t know what else to say.
“That’s how close it’s getting and if you’re a Christian, you’re saying: ‘Wow, the Messiah is coming’
“There’s no doubt about it. Jesus of Nazareth, the saviour of the world, is going to return.”
Pastor Begley enthusiastically claimed we are now living “in the last days”.
According to Irvin Baxter of the EndTime Ministries, the third Holy Temple will be rebuilt in the last seven years of the world’s existence.
The doomsday preacher said this will happen in the first three years of the end times and will be the “most visible sign” of the end times finally arriving.
Mr Baxter said: “As that cornerstone is laid on the Temple Mount, every network on Earth will be televising this incredible event.”
And Rick Brinegar and Dave Robbins of the Endtime Ministries said: “The Bible prophesies, in many places, that a Third Temple will be built in the near future.
“In Matthew 24:1-2, Jesus tells His disciples that the Second Temple would be utterly destroyed.
“From Matthew 24:3 throughout the rest of the chapter, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Second Temple, while He prophesied of events that would occur near the time of His Second Coming.”
You’re right, there is no time clock ticking that the Body of Christ can use to discern this dispensation of grace coming to an end and the tribulation thus beginning. The dispensation of the GRACE of GOD will continue until the last believer comes into the Body. At that time the Body is complete and there is no reason for us to remain on earth. Our inheritance is heavenly, not earthly like Israel. THEY will be witnesses during the Tribulation, not us. Our Commission has been fulfilled, the Body of Christ is complete and God will once again deal with Israel and His covenant with her. THAT is what the Tribulation is all about. Why some believe that the Body of Christ will go through the Tribulation is beyond me.
The muslim Dome of the Rock must be removed to rebuild the temple. I think next time Palestinian rockets are lobbed at Jerusalem, at least one of them should destroy the DOTR. One way or the other.
Wrong. Not all of us Christians ascribe to the Darby/Scofield dispensationalism. Some of think that this is a grievous error.
