Dare I dip my toes into the frigid waters of the Third Temple discussion which is immensely complex, contentious, conspiratorial, and divisive?
As the End of Days storm rages outside, flashes of news appears, about the Third Temple. I am reminded of one of my favorite Psalms, "The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters." Psalm 29
Many have opinions about the recent dedication of an 'altar' for the Third Temple before taking time to study it out. It takes many, many, years to fully understand all the innuendos and implications of the Temple, whether you believe it is a brick and mortar building or that it resides within your body. Even after years of study it is a life long endeavor.
If You Tube was a global consensus one might believe that the Third Temple is the Golden Calf of the 21st Century. Some believe it is apostasy while others see it as a sign of coming redemption. I am deeply saddened and grieved by the divisive fruit associated with even a discussion about the Third Temple. As I cautiously step into these contentious waters, I will humbly submit a summation of my current understanding about the Temple. I present my evidence for purposes of discussion only. I mean no disrespect to anyone who has taken this matter to the Lord in prayer and who has studied the issue.

Seeds, Zera, are the Word of God
It can produce a highly productive plant or if damaged in some invisible way it can result in a poor yield, sterility, or even bad fruit. It could bear good fruit, be sterile, or bear bad fruit. The Temple has potential to unite the mankind in global harmony. Unfortunately, I am also seeing the fruit of the coming anti-Christ spread across the land.
To my astonishment, well grounded bible believers are engaging in rabidly unbiblical and wild rumors.

Moses dedicated over six and a half chapters to God describing how it should be built in Exodus 25:1 through 31:11. Scripture indicates that it is the tabernacle, not the temple, which will be restored.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old. Amos 9:11
Temple (Beit HaMikdash)
The temple however originated with David, not God, and God clearly rejected David’s proposal to build it 1 Chronicles 17:4.
David gave the first command to start some amount of construction when he told the people to "arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God" . This construction was likely limited to housing the ark and priestly instruments, but, nonetheless, was construction. I believe the recent so called 'dedication' of the altar is the same call as David made years ago. David also charged Solomon to continue the work he began in 1 Chronicle.
Notice these disturbing words:
"David made abundant preparations" 1 Chronicles. If you closely study the AI beast system you will notice an emphasis in plans, projects and goals to return abundance to humanity.
"I have taken much trouble to prepare." The work of the Lord is not burdensome for He lifts the burden from us.
David appointed masons and prepared iron, bronze, and cedar in abundance as seen in 1 Chronicles. 22:2-3. Once again, the wealth and new technologies of the earth are being assembled by masons skilled in the dark arts of alchemy and metallurgy of the fallen angels to build this new edifice.
And for "the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things." I would submit to you that the blueprint created for the Third Temple was never to house God, but to house Satan.
David budgeted it, funded it, created all of the plans, and provided all the materials for it. He even had the location picked out. We are seeing this spirit, if you will, with preparations for the Third Temple and the rise of the anti-Christ spirit. It is as if everything is being mobilized and will be handed to the anti-Christ on a silver platter in the name of global religion. Succinctly, the Temple stands in opposition to the philosophy of worship given to Moses.

Rise and Fall of the Temple
- The First Temple was built by Solomon in 957 B.C. and sacked by Sheshonk I during his invasion of Judah between 926 and 917 B.C.
- It was fixed up considerably under Jehoash in 835 B.C., then stripped by Sennacherib King of Assyria in 700 B.C., and completely destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.
- The Second Temple was rebuilt under Zerubbabel at the end of the captivity in 516 B.C. Zerubbabel’s humble temple was then remodeled by King Herod around 20 B.C. It was completely destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans and remains in ruins until this day.
Stephen includes the building of the temple in his list of examples of how the Israelites had resisted the Holy Spirit in Acts 7:44-50.
Jesus indicates his disapproval of the temple when he called it “a den of thieves and robbers,” in Matthew 21:13. The Book of Hebrews bypasses and ignores the Jewish Temple altogether, identifying all of the typical functions mentioned in Exodus, not with the temple, but with the tabernacle.”

Why the Third Temple MUST be Built
There are two primary reasons why the Third Temple must be built because it is prophesied and redemption. This was true of the Hebrews wandering in the desert, and it is certain true for each person of faith, as we overcome various temptations and trials in our life. It takes some time to embrace the simplicity of redemption from slavery to sin and become a new creation.

Golden Calf
The golden calf (עגל הזהב), in Jewish tradition, was an idol made by Aaron for the Israelites during Moses' absence on Mount Sinai. It was also a statue featured at the national shrines of the later Kingdom of Israel at Dan and Bethel.
In Hebrew, the incident at Sinai is known as "Chet ha'Egel" (חטא העגל) or "The Sin of the Calf." It is first mentioned in Exodus 32:4. In Egypt, where the Hebrews had recently resided, the Apis Bull was the comparable object of worship, which the Hebrews may have sought to revive in the wilderness. Among the Egyptians' and Hebrews' neighbors in the Ancient Near East and in the Aegean, the wild bull aurochs was widely worshiped, often as the Lunar Bull and as the creature of El. The latter tradition may also have been long known to the Israelites, who also worshiped El, later calling him Yahweh, the Lord (Exodus 6:3).
Critical scholarship suggests that the golden calf story may have originated as a polemic against the northern Israelite shrines that featured statues of golden bull-calves, while the rival Temple of Jerusalem was adorned with golden images of cherubum. In this view the statement of the northern king Jeroboam in unveiling the calf statue at Bethel—"Here is Elohim, O Israel"—was originally meant to convey the idea that Yahweh/El could be worshiped as well at Bethel as Jerusalem. The bull calf statue at Bethel lasted throughout the history of the Kingdom of Israel, much to the dismay of the Judah-oriented biblical writers. The shrine was finally destroyed by King Josiah of Judah in the late seventh century B.C.E.
