“Idolatry? You call the Temple worship of the Old Testament idolatry? Wow!”

Umm, no, that’s what I would call an “End Times” temple in lieu of Christ’s sacrifice. Why should one trust your “literalist” hermeneutic when your polemic is so blazingly dishonest as demonstrated above?

God still has 7 years left of the covenant with Israel. His instructions to rebuild the Temple one more time is not idolatry.

Your use of the word polemic is rather telling. You see any understanding of prophecy other then your own as “warlike or hostile” which indicates a fear of your point of view being wrong. I simply equated the future Temple worship as an extension or continuence of the Temple worship of the Old Testament which I see as fulfilling prophecy which will lead to the completion of the 490 years of God’s covenant with Israel. Why you see that as hostile or warlike is idicative of a weak faith in your interpretation.
