"however, you are correct ... after that Third Temple is up, someone, claiming to be Israel's "messiah" will sit in the temple and declare themselves to be "god" ... I don't know when it will happen, but it will happen ..."

OK, I'll be honest, I don't believe any of this stuff. I think it's a bunch of fairy tales, and aspects of it's prophecies have happened in other times in history.

Have you considered THIS though, just another possible sci-fi scenario I think is as plausible or not as anoy other...

THe third templs IS built, it is the al-Aqsa mosque. It is the temple of the false messiah who has 1 billion followers.... Muhammad, a tool of Satan.

Or how about, Salah Din was the Antichrist, who took over the temple grounds and built the third temple in the name of the Satanic Messiah, Muhammad. You know, the Arabs are talking about having an "Arab Security Council" whose resolutions are binding on it's members... in otherwords, an islamic empire a la EU, the renewal of the Islamic Caliphate. You could easily have a jihadi army of 200 million out of 1 billion muslimes!

Sounds like a good plotline, anyway, but just as plausible as any of this speculation about fairy tales.

again, I say you are welcome to your views ... I don't believe it ... I think the Scripture clearly shows that a temple will be built ... now, admittedly, I don't expect everybody or even the majority to believe it ... and I don't know when it will be built ...

but the Scripture said Israel would become a nation again and said Jerusalem would be the problem the world couldn't solve ...

and 2500 years or so after those were written, Israel is a nation again and Jerusalem is a burdensome stone for all the nations of the world ... such a burden that nuclear war is indeed possible because of the issue and was a real possibility in 1973 ...

that is why I believe, against all odds, a Third Temple will go up (Rev. 11) ... an Israeli nation was against all odds and Satan took quite a shot at squashing it before it happened through Hitler (I think the first Zionist congress by Theodore Herzl was 1897 or so) ... but God birthed Israel against all odds ...

we'll have to watch the future unfold, and for the time being, agree to disagree ...
