“As I recall, isn’t this supposed to be one of the signs of the end times and the return of our Lord?”

Only to dispensationalists. A supposed “third temple” isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Bible, and for very good reason.

Not that it hasn’t been tried before, though. In 363 A.D. they tried to build a third temple, and while they were working on it, there was sudden “unexplainable” fire and earthquakes; so they gave up.

In 70 A.D. the temple was destroyed, just as Christ said it would be. So I don’t believe God would allow for a third temple when Christ is the Temple and the Lamb of God.

Exactly, hence my belief in Postmillenialism. Most of the mis-understood apocalyptic literature in Revelation applied to the destruction in AD 70.
