19th Meeting - Millennial Temple con't. 5th Post.

We had a good discussion last night, concerning the millennial temple, anti-christ's temple, and where these will be built.
First off, the temple that the anti-christ will build will take place during the first half of the tribulation period. The question was raised how a Jewish temple will be built on the Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) with the Mosque Dome of the Rock already there. This is a very good question, and marks one of the tell-tale accomplishments made by the anti-christ. Daniel is very clear that the anti-christ will rebuild the Jewish Temple. It is this bold statement, unbelievers of the Bible use to play down the fact that Jesus will come again. The anti-christ will be able to make all of the people believe that he can bring peace to this region, that has not had peace for a long time. This peace will be short lived; after 3.1/2 years, the anti-christ will go into the temple and come out and declare that he is god. When he does this, the Jews will realize who he is and will fight to to throw him out of Jerusalem. This will set up the battle of Armegeddon. When we mentioned the Dome of the Rock, the question was raised why the Jewish temple could not be rebuilt. The Dome of the Rock is said to be built over the rock that Abraham was going to sacrifice Issac on. It is said that the Ark of the Covenant also sat on this rock when the Jewish Temple was in existance. The Ark of the Covenant was located in the Holy of Holies, part of the Jewish Temple. Jews not sure where the Holy of Holies is, refuse to step on the Temple Mount for fear of dishonoring Holy Ground. This is why Jews worship and pray at the wailing wall, which is the only wall left standing that held up the Temple Mount.

The Millennial Temple is the temple that will be in existance during the 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ. I assigned homework concerning this temple. There are eight pieces of temple furniture that are missing from the Millennial Temple that were part of Solomon's Temple. Will list missing furniture after next weeks meeting on Sunday Night.
