What is your opinion on the Third Temple being rebuilt and the Ark of the Covenant being returned?

Question

Do you think this is significant or even for real? Serious answers please we saw something about this on TV last night.

Answer 1

Firstly, it's going to be well nigh impossible to rebuild the temple, because there is a huge mosque slapbang where the temple used to stand!

That said, Jewish prophecy states that the Maschiach (messiah) will rebuild the temple when he arrives; he must also usher in world peace and fulfill ALL the prophecies, of which there are roughly 24. The Jewish maschiach must fulfill them in ONE NORMAL HUMAN lifetime. No 'second coming'.

And we don't know where the Ark is; nobody does for sure. So I doubt the Israelis are sending anyone to find it - plus they need all the soldiers they have to fight the ongoing terrorism coming from Gaza, and which has been going on for years.

Hope that helps to answer :)

Just to correct a later answer:

The temple has *nothing* to do with Jesus. Nothing. Judaism will decide when and if the temple is rebuilt, and Jesus does not feature in Judaism.

The fact that Jesus failed to fulfill even one of the Jewish prophecies before he died PROVES that he was not the maschiach as DETAILED IN the Jewish scriptures.

Answer 2

It won't matter.  These things were all just a shadow of the reality that exists today.  They were all fulfilled in a spiritual way.  The spiritual temple is heavenly and Jesus is the High Priest of that arrangement.  Those who are taken to heaven to rule with his are the underpriests.  The Most Holy pictured heaven itself;  just as the underpriest seved in the Holy compartment, Jesus' underpriests serve in the Holy compartment of the great spiritual temple of God.  There are many more things that were part of the Israelite arrangement that pictured the spirtual part.  

I found this and much more in the 1996 Watchtower magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses.  And it is all explained clearly using scriptures you can read in your own Bible.  Or contact Jehovah's Witnesses for more of what the Bible REALLY teaches.

Answer 3

The Ark,if it exists,would have to be found first.

Answer 4

The Ark has been said to be in Ethiopia, under constant guard of just one man in each generation, since it got there.  As for the temple, we do know that the materials are being assembled even now.  And we also know, according to scripture, that when it is built, Jesus will return.

As for THIS believer, I find it an exciting time to be watching and waiting!

Answer 5

The third Temple will be rebuilt and usher in the return of Jesus.I pray daily that we unearth the Ark of The Covenant,the nay sayers would have to think when they see the Ten Commandments written by The Hand of God.

Answer 6

Hi, Ive done a little research into this before, It is believed by some the Ark is in Ethiopia, But no one has ever saw it. There is a group or rather groups that are planning a new temple in Jerusalem, and have received plenty of founding to do so.

But the biggest problem i found was if a temple was built in particular the Alter it would have to be exact in measurement to the mm. In the building of the second temple the prophets had to consult God as to the measurements as A forearm and hand could be anywhere from 16 to 23Inches, you can see the problem as it would be hard to get it just right. The other thing is in Revelation if we take it to refer to the new temple states that it is Holy and the Sacrifice on the Alter can only be Jesus as he is he only Acceptable offering to God! The Jews of course would offer dead animals which are no longer acceptable to God.

And the ark is wrote of also in Revelation and it is the Holy Mother as she is the Ark that carried our Lord in her.

But I really don't know if it will be built or not, only time will tell, But we can be sure it won't go a head while the Mosque is there, not without a bloody battle.

That's my two cents, God Bless.

Answer 7

Really? do you have a link or a source? this is very interesting.

Answer 8

Wow.

Was it in Ethiopia, like everyone thought?

I know the Baha'is have built the House of Justice on Mt Carmel (the place where Jesus ascended).

And I know the Muslims have the Dome of the Rock on the site of the second Temple.
