Pleas show the Old Testament scripture that shows the Holy Spirit dwelling within those OT believers as opposed to just speaking to them.

Although this seems to have a critical effect on your hyper dispensation soteriology, that the Holy Spirit was in holy men is what the KJV and every translation (15) i have says,

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (1 Peter 1:11)

The Temple is to be rebuilt per the instructions of God. All sacrifices are to be resumed as it is the continuation of the 490 years prophesied by Daniel.

I see that but not as a means of salvation. And not the Temple of Ezekiel and Zech. 8

Whoa there. Revelation 11:13 says they “give glory to God” just as they had done in the Old Testament. It does not say they recognized Jesus as the Messiah at that point. The “remnant” at the point has simply been “set apart”.

I said "indicated," as in John, fearing God, and giving glory to Him is the gospel message, as that is what faith in the Lord Jesus does in the expression of a soul saved by faith.

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Revelation 14:6-7)

We must leave room for interpretation in doctrinal details of eschatology, unlike cults which major on it because it is substantially unclear.

Not sure the disparaging comment was necessary but nonetheless I may not be clearly defining my meaning. The function of the Holy Spirit was clearly different during the Old Testament than it is during this “dispensation of Grace”. Yes indeed, the Holy Spirit did work through selected individuals for periods of time in the Old Testament. In the New Testament He indwells ALL believers permanently. Yes I realize that is not what my original words conveyed now that I look back at them and I apologize. The premise still holds. His work is different in individual believers during this age than it was then.
