This specific Temple is not The House built at the time of the new heavens and the new earth, since G-d and the Lamb will BE the Temple in the Golden City, Jerusalem, having come down from heaven to the earth⁴⁵. 

Neither has this specific Temple been built at any time in the past. If it were to be built now, as is believed by many, we grapple with a very serious problem: Ezekiel saw the glory of  G-d return to and fill again this particular Temple. Yet the churches teach that the Man of Sin, whom they call “the Anti-Christ”, will set himself up as god in the Temple of G-d. It cannot be believed that the gloryof  G-d and the Beast-Man will share the new Temple.

Furthermore, the whole area around the Temple on top of the mountain is declared most holy. This is not just a specific spot limited in occupancy, but a much larger area of exact measurements. And nothing and nobody shall ever defile this Temple, according to Ezekiel 43 and 44. Yet we are told, that the Beast-Man will set up something in the [former] Most Holy Place, by which he will render the earth desolate. In addition, he will be “seated” in the place where he ought not to be, for the peoples to pledge their lives and allegiance to him, all their work and all that they have. 

No mention is made that first the “Man of Sin” would occupy and desecrate the Temple, and afterwards G-d’s glory would enter the Temple not cleansed of its defilement. This is The House of the L-RD where the Prince of Israel, Messiah Yeshua, Son of David and Son of G-d, shall go in and out, and in which no sacrifice of any kind can be offered up apart from Him ^l, nor can people go into the Temple or out of it without Him⁴⁶. Because it is He who had rendered Himself as the atoning and cleansing sacrifice sufficient for all times, and opened the way unto G-d in the Most Holy Place by the veil of His flesh⁴⁷.

Hence, the sanctuary standing in the Holy Place, in which the sacrilege that shall render the earth desolate will be set up, and The House of the L-RD are not the same. However, something is taking place within Israel that is in accordance with the pattern -- the creating of provisions and preparations for the new Temple!

Let us go back again to king David and to Solomon, his son, and hear what the pattern is concerning The House of the L-RD: 

“Now, behold, with great pains I have prepared  for the house of the L-RD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand [one million] talents of silver; and such an abundance of brass and iron it cannot be weighed; timber also and stone have I prepared; and you may add more to these. Moreover you have an abundance of workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of artisans skilled for every manner of work. The gold, the silver, the brass, and the iron can not be numbered for abundance. Now begin the work, and the L-RD be with you.” ⁴⁸

Then David gave to His Son Solomon the pattern [plan] of the vestibule, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the house [the place] of the mercy seat;  And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of The House of the L-RD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of The House of G-d, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of The House of the L-RD, and for all the vessels of service in The House of the L-RD. [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:  Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick and its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for its lamps,  according to the use of every candlestick. And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver: Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons [he gave gold] by weight for every bason; and [likewise silver] by weight for every bason of silver: And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the L-RD.

“All this,” said David, “the L-RD made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.” ⁴⁹

The pattern we find is, that G-d accepted David’s preparations for The House of the L-RD.  G-d was pleased with David’s intentions, with what was in his heart, and liberally supplied him with all the material necessary for the building and service of The House. Hence, David stored up incredible amounts of gold, silver, precious stones, brass and iron, of wood and stone⁵⁰, and assembled all sorts of skilled craftsmen ready to do the work.

It would therefore appear that the present preparations are pleasing to G-d. If so, they should be liberally and generously supported by all who have it in their hearts to give to the work of The House of the L-RD, whether high or low⁵¹. Because The House will be built from free-will offerings and not from taxes exacted from the people against their will. Nevertheless, no one of present Israel, whether Cohanim or political leaders, will build The House as long as there will be wars and bloodshed ⁵². 

It is The Son, the Prince of Peace, and no other, Who shall build The House⁵³. At a time when true peace shall reign, when justice and righteousness shall prevail rather than falsehood, wickedness and terror, only then shall The House of the L-RD, the Third Temple, be built.

Therefore, let us not look for the wrong sanctuary, for the wrong Man of Sin, and for the wrong abomination by which the desolator will render the earth desolate. Rather, let us carefully study and keep in mind the pattern and the Unchangeable Calendar, established by the Holy One of Israel, that we may not err but walk in the Light of His Truth and Countenance, in the path of His Salvation.
