Interesting thought, Cindi. Thank you for you...Hmm. Interesting thought, Cindi. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. <br /><br />I'm not sure how the rebuilt temple would be the antithesis of what Christ came to accomplish. I've never thought of it like that. To me, it pictures what Messiah came to accomplish. That picture of Messiah's work portrayed in the temple was God's way of communicating His plan to humankind and of teaching us what He was doing. <br /><br />The rebuilt Temple is also necessary to fulfill remaining End Times prophecies (Daniel 9:27, for example). <br /><br />I don't know about Christians supporting or not supporting the rebuilding of the temple. It's simply going to happen at some point. (And I think in the not-too-distant future.) I would probably be perceived as supporting it...and I guess I would be supporting it. It never occured to me to oppose it. Why would we when God says it will take place? Wouldn't that be like opposing part of His plan? When it happens, it will be the most amazing event in history since Jesus walked the earth. And we will know where we are on God's prophetic timeline at that point for sure, if we don't before.<br /><br />Also, I've always believed the rebuilt temple will be a significant event that will bring many Jews into the kingdom of Christ -- as they see how Jesus Christ fulfilled completely / spiritually the physical picture in the temple. I can't support that with a Scripture verse -- that's just my thought. We know that, according to prophecy, many Jewish people will understand Jesus is the Christ/Messiah and believe in Him in the End Times. Somehow my mind connects that beautiful event to the rebuilding of the temple and also to verses like Romans 11:11, 13-14, 25-26a. <br /><br />For me, that salvation of many Jewish people will be so beautiful, that is why I look forward to and would support the rebuilding of the temple. <br /><br />Thanks again for your comment. It has me thinking.Dianne E.

That Temple is no longer needed ...I agree with you. That Temple is no longer needed and God allowed it to be destroyed in 70 AD because His Son was the Last and Ultimate Sacrifice. In fact, we, as followers of Jesus Christ, are now referred to as His "temple" because His Holy Spirit dwells in us. I fail to understand why followers of Christ would ever support the rebuilding of a temple which would serve as the antithesis of what Christ came to accomplish.
