From what I understand, they’re still trying to breed a red heifer, but haven’t succeeded yet. Still, the preparations are under way. They’re just going to have to do something about the Dome of the Rock at some point.

[fishtank]

They’ll build next door to the DotR.

[hoagy62]

It’s my understanding that they had one in 2002, but it was later disqualified. They’re still trying...

They get it right....and look out.

Naked Archeologist has the answer.

[onedoug]

He never let that stop him.

[JamesP81]

They’ll build next door to the DotR.

I seem to recall that in the Book of Revelation (IIRC), God is describing how the temple will be rebuilt. There were several courts, and one of the courts was to be left off and 'left to the gentiles'. One wonders if the Temple will fit on Temple Mount with the DotR in place with that court left off.

Interesting stuff.

Already built from followers of the Way. 1 Cor 3.

Looks like they are apparently going to attempt to clone one. An excerpt from that July 8th, 2008 entry at the Temple Mount website:

Late last week, on the eve of the Shabbat in week the Torah portion Hukkat is read, in which the red heifer is mentioned, it became clear that the people associated with the Temple Institute, who for 25 years have been researching the Temple and its rituals, creating vessels for future use in the Temple and maintaining contact with scientists and research institutes worldwide, believe they have cracked the genetic code that will make it possible to clone a red heifer.

Ok, the dispensationalists are getting all excited.

Christian, consider. We know what God thinks of the temple sacrifices. "The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins." In the providence of God the second Temple was destroyed long ago.

Do you really think this will be a good thing for those that are doing it?

[Raineygoodyear]

NO- But I do believe the True Christian Church will have been raptured before the Temple is operational and guides the Antichrist to declare himself GOD

[fishtank]

I’m a dispensationalist.

I believe the Temple will be rebuilt in God’s perfect will. It will not theologically replace Jesus.

[fishtank]

I’m with you on that, except I don’t believe in a pre-trib rapture.

Thanks

[fishtank]

I’m with you on that, except I don’t believe in a pre-trib rapture.

Thanks

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

Rainey,
And I pray you are right! MARANANTHA!

[kingcanuteus]

Would anyone know how the Jews determine who is a genealogical Levite, if the temple records were destroyed in 70 AD?

[naturalized]

yeah, but I liked this guy's take.

[naturalized]

Not sure what that all means. How does Jesus rebuilding the temple out of us conflict with the temple being rebuilt in God’s perfect will? How could God possibly care about bricks and mortar after His Son has been here? Who it talking about replacing Jesus?

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Muslim law forbids archaeologists from digging on the Temple Mount...

Yes, now consider:

so instead, Gabriel Barkay is digging through its trash.

...

He and his team are sifting through truckloads of debris, unearthed by bulldozers and discarded by Muslim authorities.

I see. Archaeologists are bad, as they may disturb something holy on the site of the Dome of the Crock. But bulldozers are OK, because they won't. Makes sense to me - when you view the Muslim authorities as a fraudulent bunch of goat-phocking hypocrits.
