If it was to be easy and simple the LORD would not of told us to keep searching, keep knocking, keep seeking.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7,8
Many Christians Seeking
It is good to see so many Christians seeking and obeying the commands of Jesus to do so. We must seek with a humble heart and mind. Many times we will seek with a presupposed outcome and are disappointed when it does not work out the way we imagined. Seeking with an open mind and heart is essential for a successful search.
The Orchestrator
We should always remember that Jesus is the Orchestrator of this work. He is the conductor in charge and uses the Holy Spirit to direct His work. Sometimes, what we imagined to work out is totally out of sync with the Will of God. Hopefully, in hindsight we can realize this. We can have hope that the best possible outcome for anything is the Will of God.
Prophecies
We see many prophecies coming into fulfillment. So, whats next? What are we looking for? One thing is we are looking for the Temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Why? Because that is what a lot of Christians & Jews are talking about. However, could there be an alternative meaning to temple?
What the Temple Could Mean
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the temple he had spoken of was his body. John 2:19-21
So, this makes it a more interesting perspective. In another area of the Bible we are called the temple.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.1 Corinthians 3:16, 17
Yes, so with this in mind let's look at the prophecy again.
He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him Daniel 9:27
Hmmm, how is this done?
Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 2 Thess 2:5-12
Ok now, are we getting the picture? This may not be the Temple in Jerusalem but The Christian Church!
No Prophecy For Physical 3rd Temple
You may find it interesting that there is no prophecy in the Bible that directly talks about a physical 3rd Temple to be rebuilt. We see this for the 1st temple built by Solomon and the 2nd temple built by Nehemiah but not a 3rd temple.
The Third Temple: Top Bible Verses and Meaning
The idea of a Third Temple comes primarily from interpretations of Bible prophecy and Jewish eschatology rather than direct biblical statements. Some scholars and religious groups see several prophecies in the Old Testament as suggesting the eventual reconstruction of the Temple:
VisitIs This The Lie?
With the knowledge that we have from above, could the lie be the Physical 3rd Temple? Could this lie be to unite all man made organized religions? Could this lie be an Alien manifestation? Could the mark be an implant that everyone gets to take care of all their health problems, buy, sell and more?
Let's Look at This Closer
"And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way." Could the Aliens be the Nephilim, and are they the lawless ones that are held back?
The Big Picture
If the above is true, could the big picture go something like this?
- Aliens, Demons, Nephilim work in secrecy "Lawless Ones". Genesis 6:4 they existed before the flood and after. Matt 24:37-39 Last days as the days of Noah!
- After Jesus was Crucified His Temple was established and started their Christian work.
- In the background these "Lawless" ones were at work, developing a strategy to corrupt.
- There is someone holding them back from being revealed. Angel? Government conspiracy? Bluebeam?
- When he is finally revealed, he will be revealed as a helper to mankind. Anti-Christ is an Alien/Nephilim?
- They make everyone receive a "Mark" except the Elect. Possibly an implant of some sort that attaches to the nervous system to prevent death, improve health, buy, sell and more. Technological advancements? Nephilim hybrid humans.
- He demands worship because he appears to solve mankind's problems to gain total control.
- In that Sacrifice and Offerings cease, this may be Christian worship? Or, a Temple is built and he causes Sacrifice and Offerings to Cease there. Possible reason to stop worship, he may be jealous of the worship of the One God.
Biblical Characteristics of the Antichrist:
- Denies Jesus as the Christ (1 John 2:22)
- Denies the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22)
- Deceives people and promotes false teachings (2 John 1:7)
- Possesses a spirit of opposition to Christ (1 John 4:3)
- Exalts himself above God (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
- Performs signs and wonders to deceive (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)
- Establishes a reign of false peace and power (Daniel 9:27, Revelation 13)
The Bible provides several descriptions of what the Antichrist will appear as, though it is often symbolic and metaphorical rather than giving a physical appearance. Here are the key passages that describe the Antichrist's characteristics and behavior:
1. A Deceptive Leader with Great Charisma and Influence
- Daniel 7:8 – Describes the Antichrist as a “little horn” with eyes like a man and a mouth speaking great things, symbolizing intelligence and persuasive speech.
- Revelation 13:5-6 – The Antichrist is given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, indicating charismatic oratory and influence.
Summary: The Antichrist will be a charismatic and eloquent speaker, capable of persuading and deceiving many people.
2. Appears as a Peacemaker but is Deceptive
- Daniel 9:27 – He will make a covenant of peace but will later break it.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:3 – People will be saying “Peace and safety,” but sudden destruction will come.
Summary: The Antichrist will appear as a peacemaker and problem-solver but will betray that peace.
3. Claims Divine Authority and Worship
- 2 Thessalonians 2:4 – “He opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
- Revelation 13:4 – People worship the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
Summary: The Antichrist will claim divine authority, seeking worship and exalting himself above God.
4. Performs Miraculous Signs and Wonders
- 2 Thessalonians 2:9 – “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders.”
- Revelation 13:13-14 – He performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven.
Summary: He will perform supernatural signs and wonders to deceive people into following him.
5. Appears as a Political and Religious Leader
- Revelation 17:12-13 – Describes him gaining power from ten kings and ruling over nations.
- Revelation 13:7 – He is given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
Summary: The Antichrist will hold both political and religious authority, uniting the world under his influence.
6. Possesses a Counterfeit Christ-like Appearance
- 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 – Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light, and his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.
Summary: The Antichrist will appear righteous, holy, and even Christ-like, but this will be a deception.
7. Has No Regard for Traditional Religion or God
- Daniel 11:37 – “He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.”
Summary: He will not follow traditional religious values but will create his own system of worship.
Summing up the Anti Christ:
The Bible does not describe the Antichrist’s physical appearance (e.g., hair color, height, etc.), but it does provide a detailed spiritual and behavioral profile. He will:
- Be charismatic and persuasive,
- Appear as a peacemaker but betray that peace,
- Claim divine authority,
- Perform deceptive miracles,
- Rule politically and religiously,
- Masquerade as righteous, and
- Reject traditional religion while exalting himself.
These descriptions point to his deceptive nature and global influence, highlighting that his appearance will be appealing and convincing to many.
One More Thought
I was about to publish this post then one more thought came to my mind! Jesus said, "Destroy this Temple and I will raise it up in 3 Days!" This Temple is us brothers and sisters. During the Great Tribulation it is said in Revelation 11:7-13 the two prophets are killed and their dead bodies will lay in the street for 3 ½ days. Afterward, they will be called up to heaven in a resurrection. AMAZING!
Conclusion
Given that there is no direct prophecy to rebuild the physical temple, this cannot be from God. The Temple as stated, is the Church that Jesus Himself built, namely us! Will the physical temple be rebuilt? Possibly, but it is doubtful that this is the Temple spoken of in Daniel and Ezekiel. Furthermore, this is definitely NOT the Temple spoken of by the early Christians. I would imagine this is part of the "Lie" for deceiving people about the "Truth". There is only one Temple of God and that is us my fellow Elect. The Anti Christ seems to be something very powerful and demonic with advanced technology. Enough to deceive if possible, even the Elect. If there is another physical temple to be rebuilt, it is the temple of demons. Be strong my fellow Christians.
Barnabas on The Temple
You may find it interesting as I did to see what Barnabas, an early Church father who walked with Paul said about the Temple.
Barnabas 16:1
Moreover I will tell you likewise concerning the temple, how these
wretched men being led astray set their hope on the building, and not
on their God that made them, as being a house of God.
Barnabas 16:2
For like the Gentiles almost they consecrated Him in the temple. But
what saith the Lord abolishing the temple? Learn ye. Who hath
measured the heaven with a span, or hath measured the earth with
his hand? Have not I, saith the Lord? The heaven is My throne and
the earth the footstool of My feet. What manner of house will ye
build for Me? Or what shall be my resting place? Ye perceive that
their hope is vain.
Barnabas 16:3
Furthermore He saith again; Behold they that pulled down this
temple themselves shall build it.
Barnabas 16:4
So it cometh to pass; for because they went to war it was pulled down
by their enemies. Now also the very servants of their enemies shall
build it up.
Barnabas 16:5
Again, it was revealed how the city and the temple and the people of
Israel should be betrayed. For the scripture saith; And it shall be
in the last days, that the Lord shall deliver up the sheep of the
pasture and the fold and the tower thereof to destruction. And it
came to pass as the Lord spake.
Barnabas 16:6
But let us enquire whether there be any temple of God. There is; in
the place where he himself undertakes to make and finish it. For it
is written And it shall come to pass, when the week is being
accomplished, the temple of God shall be built gloriously in the
name of the Lord.
Barnabas 16:7
I find then that there is a temple, How then shall it be built in
the name of the Lord? Understand ye. Before we believed on God, the
abode of our heart was corrupt and weak, a temple truly built by
hands; for it was full of idolatry and was a house of demons, because
we did whatsoever was contrary to God.
Barnabas 16:8
But it shall be built in the name of the Lord. Give heed then that
the temple of the Lord may be built gloriously.
Barnabas 16:9
How? Understand ye. By receiving the remission of our sins and
hoping on the Name we became new, created afresh from the beginning.
Wherefore God dwelleth truly in our habitation within us. How? The
word of his faith, the calling of his promise, the wisdom of the
ordinances, the commandments of the teaching, He Himself prophesying
in us, He Himself dwelling in us, opening for us who had been in
bondage unto death the door of the temple, which is the mouth, and
giving us repentance leadeth us to the incorruptible temple.
Barnabas 16:10
For he that desireth to be saved looketh not to the man, but to Him
that dwelleth and speaketh in him, being amazed at this that he has
never at any time heard these words from the mouth of the speaker,
nor himself ever desired to hear them. This is the spiritual temple
built up to the Lord
