God’s Temple in Prophecy<\/a><\/h3>\n

A common view held by many who are interested in prophecy is that a massive Jewish temple needs to be rebuilt in Jerusalem prior to Jesus returning. Protestant writers like the late Dr. Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (of the Left Behind series fame) have asserted that those who read the prophecies literally believe that Jesus, the prophet Daniel, and apostles like John and Paul “all taught that Israel’s third temple will be rebuilt” around the time of the start of the Great Tribulation. Can the Jews build the “temple of God” during the church age? Who does the Bible teach are the temple of God? Have many overlooked the fact that the Greek terms ‘hieron’ and ‘naos’ are not the same, even though they are translated the same in English? What was the position of Sabbath keepers in the 19th and 20th centuries? Is there a building in Jerusalem that seems to have ashlar brick rocks from Herod’s temple? Does the Temple Institute or the re-constituted Sanhedrin believe they must have a massive third Jewish temple in order to resume daily sacrifices? What did they directly tell Dr. Thiel about this? Did Ezekiel write of a physical temple? What temple will Jesus return to related to Malachi 3? What was the position of the old Worldwide Church of God? Might some be deceived into not knowing when the Great Tribulation (Matthew <\/span>24:21<\/a>) will begin because of their insistence that the Bible teaches something that it does not? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?<\/a> Although people like Timothy LaHaye teach a third Jewish temple is required, who is ‘the temple of God” in the New Testament? Does the Bible require a rebuilt Jewish Temple? Here is a related item in the Spanish language \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no se requiere un templo jud\u00edo en Jerusal\u00e9n?<\/a> Here is a link to two related sermons God’s Temple in Prophecy<\/a> and The Temple, Prophecy, and the Work<\/a>.
\nNascent Sanhedrin and Prophecy<\/a> The reconstituted Sanhedrin wants the reimplementation of animal sacrifices. A related video is titled Sanhedrin pushing animal sacrifices<\/a>. And a newer one is: Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!<\/a>
\nThe Red Heifer, Jewish Beliefs, and the End of the World<\/a> The Temple Institute is watching a ‘red heifer.’ Why might this be important in the sequence of end time events? Here is a related link in the Spanish language Novilla roja descubierta en EE.UU. e Instituto del Templo est\u00e1 interesado en ella<\/a><\/em>. Here are links to two related videos in English: Red Heifers and the Fate of the World<\/a> and The Red Heifer and the End of the World<\/a>.
\nWhat was the Liturgy of the Early Church?<\/a> Were early church services mainly scriptural, emotional, or sacramental? Who follows the basic original liturgy today? A related video is also available: What were early Christian church services like?<\/a>
\nChurch of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill<\/a> Could this building, often referred to as the Cenacle, which is located on a Mount Zion, possibly have been the oldest actual Christian church building?
\nDoes the ‘Cenacle’ deal have prophetic ramifications?<\/a> After a 20 year negotiation, the Church of Rome has negotiated the right to have Catholic mass in the building known as the Cenacle. It is in the area where the Church of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill once stood. This is believed to be the location of the earliest Christian church building. How does the Bible define the ‘temple of God’ in the New Testament? Could this be the area where the ‘man of sin’ will sit in the “temple of God’ that Bible prophecy discusses in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4? This is a YouTube video.
\nNazarene Christianity: Were the Original Christians Nazarenes?<\/a> Who were the Nazarene Christians? What did they believe? Should 21st century Christians be modern Nazarenes? Is there a group that exists now that traces its history through the Nazarenes and holds the same beliefs today? Here is a link to a related video sermon Nazarene Christians: Were the early Christians “Nazarenes”? <\/a>
\nDoes the Church of God need to be headquartered in Jerusalem?<\/a> Some say so. But what does the Bible teach?
\nLocation of the Early Church: Another Look at Ephesus, Smyrna, and Rome<\/a> What actually happened to the primitive Church? And did the Bible tell about this in advance?
\nThe ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27<\/a> This prophecy could give up to 3 1\/2 years advance notice of the coming Great Tribulation. Will most ignore or misunderstand its fulfillment? Here is a link to a related sermon video Daniel 9:27 and the Start of the Great Tribulation<\/a>.
\nJerusalem: Past, Present, and Future<\/a> What does the Bible say about Jerusalem and its future? Is Jerusalem going to be divided and eliminated? Is Jesus returning to the area of Jerusalem? There is also a related YouTube video you can watch titled Jerusalem To be divided and eliminated<\/a>.
\nDid The Early Church Teach Millenarianism?<\/a> Was the millennium (sometimes called chiliasm) taught by early Christians? Who condemned it? Will Jesus literally reign for 1000 years on the earth? Is this time near? Two related sermons are available Millennial Utopia<\/a> and The Millennium.<\/a>
\nDoes God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?<\/a> Was a 6000 year time allowed for humans to rule followed by a literal thousand year reign of Christ on Earth taught by the early Christians? Does God have 7,000 year plan? What year may the six thousand years of human rule end? When will Jesus return? 2030 or 20xx? There is also a video titled 6000 Years: When will God’s Kingdom Come?<\/a> Here is a link to the article in Spanish: \u00bfTiene Dios un plan de 6,000 a\u00f1os?<\/a>
\nWho is the Man of Sin of 2 Thessalonians 2?<\/a> Is this the King of the North, the ten-horned beast of Revelation 13:1-11, or the two-horned Beast of Revelation 13:12-16? Some rely on traditions, but what does the Bible teach? Here is a related link in Spanish\/espa\u00f1ol: \u00bfQui\u00e9n es el Hombre de Pecado de 2 Tesalonicenses 2?<\/a>; here is a link to a video in Spanish: \u00bfQui\u00e9n es el ‘hombre de pecado’?<\/a> Here is a version in Mandarin: N;\u0016\u00ff\u001a \u0152\u0001f\/’Y’jN\u00ba’\u00ff\u001f<\/a> Here is a link to a related English sermon video titled: The Man of Sin will deceive most \u2018Christians\u2019<\/a>.<\/span>
