”It will be a modern building, with car parks and elevators, but it will look very much like the Second Temple.”
The Temple Institute museum contains a large-scale model of what the Third Temple will look like, with its main building set to reach a height of 60 metres.
Today, the Temple Mount is dominated by the al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped Dome of the Rock.
”Al-Aqsa can stay,” Mr Glick said, pointing to the mosque. ”It’s not even on the Temple Mount proper. But we intend to just build over the Dome of the Rock. We might be able to find a way to include it in the Third Temple.”
Mr Glick envisages a house of prayer open to all believers in the monotheistic faiths, Christians, Muslims or Jews.
Messianic expectation – that’s what it’s about. This temple is for ‘him’. So simple, just build it and he will come. What if three ‘messiahs’ come, how will they know the real one? Will miracles settle the matter? Can’t argue with a bona-fide miracle, eh.
Very interesting that the Temple Institute envisions a temple shared by Christians, Muslims and Jews, bcos that would mean that they are expecting a ‘messiah’ who will embrace these three religions, at the least. What a mess. And Christians are paying for this temple! Yes, they are fulfilling prophecy, but they don’t understand what they are doing, bcos the first ‘messiah’ to appear will be the devil incarnate, The Beast. Even the ‘messianic’ Christian movement is setting people up to receive the antichrist as messiah; universalist ‘christians’ , humanists ; Muslims, with their Imam Mahdi ; they are all being set up to receive their ‘messiah’ and his ‘kingdom’.

That was a real good point about what if three “messiahs” show up. how will the world know the right one… through “miracles,” of course! Great point! I never thought of that. Duh.

Jerusalem and the Land of Israel is ALREADY divided. Much of it is PRESENTLY trampled under foot by the gentiles, and it has been for 2000 years. When it is no longer trampled under the feet of the gentiles, then we know the times of the gentiles has been fulfilled.
The most vital issue concerning East Jerusalem becoming part of a sovereign state of ‘palestine’ is the issue over ownership of the temple mount. A burdensome stone. An intractable, unsolvable issue. They are waiting for their ‘messiah’ to come and settle that dispute and bring peace.

Talk about crunch time! The Jews will never willingly give up the Temple Mount, … i hope.
For them, to take away the Temple Mount is to take away the symbol and evidence of their heritage and identity, and the evidence of antiquity that THIS IS THEIR ANCIENT CAPITAL CITY, the City of David. This is what the Arabs are aggressively trying to do. If they can eliminate the evidence that it’s the City of David, and has been for more than 3000 years, then they can legitimize their jihad / new holocaust. Ethnic cleansing is the goal. America is aiding and abetting.
The Jews were incredibly foolish to allow the Arabs access to it at all. But, God is Sovereign.
