I was referring to post 703, as the "To" reference at the bottom of my post indicated. Someone had written there is only one return of Messiah, You agreed, but hedged with stages. There is no need to augment that scriptural truth with late breaking eisegesis and theories. "His own" refers to the nation of Israel. The temple grounds and ceremonies were not private venues rented out to the poor.

Concocting all these contradictory theories is fruitless. The Messiah will come. Every eye shall see Him. The apostles asked and Messiah told them it was not for them to know.

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Actually it refers to the House of Judah (who received him not)

He was “sent” to the “House of Israel,” who, as Paul’s and Peter’s epistles illustrate, received him willingly.
