Bible Note: Hi Biblicalman, You wrote: “I know of no Scripture which says that the Messiah will build a Temple. Perhaps you can enlighten me.” The Messiah said that He will build His temple and rule from His throne. He also said that this temple will be greater than Solomon’s temple. Zechariah 6:12-13 Then say to him, Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the LORD. Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.” Haggai 2: 6-9 For thus says the LORD of hosts, “Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,” says the LORD of hosts. “The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,” declares the LORD of hosts. The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,” says the Lord of hosts, “and in this place I will give peace,” declares the LORD of hosts. You wrote: “I am unable to find in my Bible where 1 Corinthians 15.25 is 'a specific reference to the millennial rule'. There is nothing specific about it at all. It is an interpretation and many would disagree with that statement. It is reading into Scripture what is not there and then calling it specific.” The answer to this is in the original post. Cuhigher pointed out apparent contradictions in various scriptures. Your explanation does not address those contradictions. All scripture must be in harmony. You wrote: “Revelation 11 cannot be literally interpreted. It is impossible to conceive of a Temple where the Gentiles control in hostility (trample) the courts of the Temple with the sanctuary alone being occupied by God's people, especially as it exists for three and a half years. The Gentiles would take over the whole Temple. The Temple must therefore be the Temple of the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ.” Are the arms of the LORD short? I’m sure it was also impossible to conceive that Judea would be reestablished in 1948 after not existing for nearly 1900 years, or that the Jews would capture control of the ancient city of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, as a result of the 6-Day War in 1967. These events had to occur prior to the Messiah's return, just as a third temple must also be built. After His return, He will build His own temple. Anyone who reads Ezekiel 40-48 can quickly discern that the Temple will be a physical structure, located in Jerusalem. For your consideration, Holmes |
