Hi Searcher, Now let us look at the second of your quotations which you seem to think indicate a Temple in the end times. In Isaiah 2.3 we read, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the highest of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. Now if we take that literally (and a literalist should do no other) then it means that the Temple will be built on a mountain raised higher than Mount Everest. Now I recognise that God could do that, but it would mean the nations flowing uphill for over 29,000 feet. Is that what the Spirit through the prophet was indicating? My view is that the Spirit, speaking to Old Testament people who had no conception of a heaven to which people go, (such beliefs were left to pagans and their gods), was indicating that the Temple would be exalted far above all. The New Testament equivalent is the heavenly Temple in Revelation. It was as a result of the coming of Jesus the first time that God exalted the living Temple of Jesus and of His people, (or don't you believe that God's people are literally the Temple of the Living God?) and that instruction went out of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, and that as a consequence peace spread throughout the world as a result of the Gospel under the reign of He Who is both judge and Saviour. Now if you do not believe that the Temple will be built in a mountain over 29,000 feet in height you have to deny the literalism. Then ANY interpretation is failing to be literal. |

Biblicalman, Amen. I can't help but wonder if you are a fellow amillenialist. Regardless, I agree with your post. In Christ, Beja |
