well perhaps he has been growing the chrystals for the temple base for millenia, and he has the heavenly host to build at His direction, or perhaps he speaks it into being as well..
I find it interesting that the present temple is called temple mount..like the first temple was the base for the New Jerusalem/The Chrystal City..
G_d will tell us one day..
“I find it interesting that the present temple is called temple mount.”
Note that THERE IS NO PRESENT TEMPLE.
Right now, the Dome of the (C)rock and another mosque sit atop Temple Mount, as they have for well over a millenia. Typical of the Moslems, they build mosques where other religions had holy sites, and then claim it for themselves forever...just a bunch of thieves.
Oh, and the First Temple was NOT the “base for the New Jerusalem/The Chrystal City” - it was the Temple that G-d commanded Solomon to build, and it would still be standing today if the ancient Jews had continued to abide by His commands. It all depends on the Jews and their behavior - they came back to Him, and he allowed a new Temple to be constructed...and then their baseless hatred for each other caused Him to withdraw His protection from Israel and allow in the Greek Syrians (Antiochus Epiphanes - this is the Channukah story) and the Romans. Some day, Jews will obey Him again, and G-d will send the Messiah and with him the 3rd and final Temple.
He’ll show us. The time for telling and guessing is coming to an end.
