1 | Taking Him for His word | Matt 24:2 | JCrichton | 148470 | ||
Hi, Wild Olive! I understand your concern... let me take you to John 4:19-24, while speaking to a Samaritan woman Jesus reveals that same episode to befold Israel... there will be no longer a Temple building to which God's people will gather to worship... further, there will be a different mode of worshipping: Spirit and Truth (Holy Spirit and Jesus)... the era of Israel's continued Temple worshipping is near its end as He will be raised, as Moses raised the serpent in the desert, so that all who look to Him will be saved! In two thousand years the Temple has remained destroyed... Israel has not worshipped in the Temple... there are rumors of some Jewish organization/s planning to build a temple... if these rumors were to materialize, would Yahweh's Glory go back on Himself and frequent a building that He Himself prophecised against? Would the erection of a temple not be akin to the strange fire offered by Aarons sons or the well-intensioned Oza that touched the Ark as he attempted to keep it from falling from the cart? Would Yahweh's Wrath not burn against those who would profane His Word? God Bless! Angel |

2 | Take Him for His Word | Matt 24:2 | MJH | 150200 | ||
You seem quite against a third building of the Temple in Israel. How do you then interpret the second half of Ezekiel where he prophesies about a Temple being built that has not yet been built? Also, if the Temple was so bad after Jesus' resurrection, then why did Paul perform sacrifices in the Temple is Acts 21-22? Did Jesus prophesy against the Temple as you say, or did he prophesy against what was going on in the Temple? Or was he simple stating a fact that the Temple was going to be destroyed? MJH |

Hi MJH, Compare Ezekiel 36:26 and Acts 22:3; Ephesians 2:5 and Mark 1:244. John 2:19 John 4:29 John 6:14 Matthew 24:2 From the heart, Ray |

Ray, I am not speaking of Ezekiel 36:26, I am wondering about the detailed description of the Temple which Ezekeil lays out. Ezekiel 40:1 and on.... It seems that he is prophecying that a new Temple will be built in the future unlike the old. Ez 40:38-47 mention sacrafices, and Ez 42 mention Priests. I have always wondered about this... Thanks, MJH |

Hi MJH, For me, the key to understanding this portion of scripture is in Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. 8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. 10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. Eze 43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. My understanding, although I have never heard or read of this being taught, is that God gave this vision to Ezekiel of the temple He wanted Israel to build when they returned from captivity. "And if they be ashamed of all that they have done. . . . write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them." If when Israel returned from their captivity, they were repentant, let them build this temple, keep the sacrifices, and the LORD would dwell there forever. This would have been the temple Messiah came to. We know that Israel did not build this temple, most didn't even return to Israel. Not until Israel is repentant, believing, and gathered into the land will this temple be built, in other words, not until Jesus comes. But then, the Perfect Sacrifice will have put away the animal sacrifices for sin. Jesus will be served by a kingdom of priests. And the LORD will dwell in the midst forever!!! Like I said, I have never heard this from anyone else, it's just how it makes sense to me. Love in Christ, Mark |
