Answer to questions about the third temple:
The Jews are building a third temple in Israel because they don’t believe that Jesus is the Christ (then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn).
A third temple is needed for the Antichrist to fulfill the prophesy of the abomination of desolation (which has yet to occur).
The idea that all of these things have already occurred is to ignore the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.

Where is the 3rd temple being built umm

[Cronos]

thepoodlebites:

• No one is building a third temple

• A third temple is not needed for the AntiChrist to fulfill the prophesy of the abomination --> the 2nd temple served that purpose - read Luke 19:41-44

  41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

  Note that the 2nd temple meet's Daniel's vision - it took 434 years (62 weeks) to build: began in 444 BC and ended in 10 BC

  Josephus claimed that the Judeans destroyed themselves through the abominations they performed.

  He wrote Wars of the Jews --> have you read it? It is long and can be hard

[Cronos]

thepoodlebites, Josephus wrote Wars of the Jews --> have you read it? It is long and can be hard, but here are some salient points - cross-refer what I write below with the actual text (link above):

1. Josephus tells of the civil war WITHING the walls of Jerusalem while it was besieged. The three factions burned one another's stores of grains, initiating a severe famine (WJ, V, 1:4)

2. According to Josephus, no other "age ever did breed a generation more fruitful in wickedness than this was... They overthrew the city themselves (WJ, V, 10:1)

3. Josephus continues "The writings of the ancient prophets foretold that this city should be taken when somebody shall begin the slaughter of his own countrymen... it is God, there is it God Himself who is bringing on this fire, to purge that city and Temple by means of the Romans" (WJ, VI, 2:1).
