CB:"I would say that the Dome could well be gone after this year."
T"Trying to keep up with and debunk this futurist swill is like playing whack-a-mole."
I'm starting to feel sorry for them, since every one of their arguments is a losing argument filled with impossible scenarios (200,000,000 Chinese horsemen) to imagining that some entity is going to somehow replace the Dome with a Temple, not just this year, but any year.
First of all, what folks think is the Temple (Wailing/Western) Wall can't possibly be that because a wall requires one brick upon another which our LORD said was not the case. So the Futurists are lost and confused on the location due to lack of proper respect for Scripture and reason.
The Dome sits on the site of Fort Antonio, the original temple site is that gap to the south. The problem here is that one must desecrate a number of graves to build on the actual site. I'm going to provide the next LaHaye with a free plot-line element to build the new Temple (that God says is not build with human hands - another triviality dismissed by the Futurists)
The unaccounted TARP Billions is secretly given to the Palestinians so that they may buy land and outbid the Jewish settlers, thus allowing a somewhat strong market advantage to the Palestinians in procuring and occupying the alleged former Palestinian lands. As part of the deal, they make a covenant not to riot when the Zionists build a Temple to the south of the Dome. The person who brokers this deal is the Futurist's AntiChrist.
See how easy it is to craft semi-believable camp-fire stories when one first rejects Scripture?

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Was He talking about the Temple building or the walls around the Temple as well? The verse above specifically designates the buildings. If you have further information that He also meant the walls I would like to see it.
The Temple Institute in Israel is actively working towards the rebuilding of the Temple and I will let their own map tell where they believe the Temple belongs.

At one time -- before I got booted off the Rapture Ready for Rapturenauts site -- I thought how interesting it would be to ad-hoc invent what you call futurist “camp-fire stories” and peddle them there. I just wanted to see how their version of “whisper down the lane” would play itself out.
Sadly, I was booted for raising too many unanswerable questions and being a theological nuisance. Also, my third and ninth commandment informed conscience suggested what I wanted to do was morally questionable. But it would have been a gas.
