...And the Eastern Gate has no value without the Temple, hence the Temple will be rebuilt.

Hence? Curious that neither Jesus nor any of the Jewish writers of the NT spoke of this theory. What do you think they were missing?

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. (1 Cor. 3:17)
The new covenant temple is entirely spiritual. Jesus is seated in the midst of His true temple. There is no return to the old forms. They all decayed and passed away.

I disagree. You might study on why Yeshua only fulfilled the spring Holy Days (and how they are fulfilled) for a grander view... And IF that is so, The Triumphal entry cannot have happened as Christians suppose. The Fall Holy Days have yet to find their fulfillment.

And unlike you, I believe the Old Covenant informs the New, not the other way around. For if the Prophets can be denied, then there is no proof of God... And if the Torah is not forever, then the law of God is quixotic, and subject to change.

What good is a promise by YHWH if His word can be broken?

Discard your Greek/Roman view. Understanding the Hebrew elements will be like an epiphany.

The new covenant temple is entirely spiritual. Jesus is seated in the midst of His true temple.

Here is a clue: The Old Covenant was entirely spiritual too. Do you not recall YHWH saying that the blood of beasts is a stench in His nostrils? What could it be that He wanted?
