Which? This one?
(Ezekiel 44:9 this is what the sovereign LORD says: No foreigner, who is uncircumcised in heart and flesh among all the foreigners who are among the people of Israel, will enter into my sanctuary.)
Seems to me it is being circumcised in the flesh and the heart.
Paul was speaking of the temple that was then standing when he wrote, otherwise, unless he had mentioned a third temple the Corinthians wouldn't have a clue what he was speaking about.
And how would they (the you) in verse 3 be deceived 2000 years later?

Do you know what prophecy is sis?
It is the fortelling of future things
It does not mean we NEED a temple (to be saved or to restore sacrifice) what it means, is that God looked forward in time, and he saw a new temple.
Why is that temple rebuilt? It does not say, nor does it have to
Do you know at this very moment Israel is in the plans to rebuild the temple.? They have everything they need, If the last thing comes to place. The temple can be rebuilt in probably less than a few years. Maybe even less time.
Pre-mill people see in prophesy it will be rebuilt because God said it would, (Not because we need it)
Amill believes it will nto be rebuilt. They take a symbolic interpretation. Which destroys the meaning and purpose of prophecy (to prove to the world GOD is the ONE TRUE GOD.

I lived through rapture times, books, fear, you can keep nice middle class life,
come to Christ, or be tortured under the anti-Christ.
It was a fear based appeal. And it was wrong, because the foundations of wealth
and security are not what Jesus is built upon.
So my question is, so what if I ignore these theories, it will not effect the outcome,
I should rather focus on following Christ and being a light to the world.
Is this not a better approach to take?

You can ignore 30% of Scripture (which is prophecy) if you wish, even though Jesus said man shall live by EVERY Word which proceeds from the mouth of God.
BTW, it is the upper class that has been swept into this 'social gospel' thing (spurned by a guilty conscience) and loves to bring up race and social class distinctions while down playing prophecy. For themthe Kingdom of God is this world.
Middle class life? Lol, not even close. Fear based? nope. Scripture based? So far the one with the least holes in incorporating ALL of Scripture.

What if it's a Temple of Thanksgiving, Remembrance, and Worship.
Revelation 7:15 (KJV) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Revelation 11:1 (KJV) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:19 (KJV) And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 15:8 (KJV) And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Yes this is reference to the real temple that was destroyed in 70AD.
Rev 11:1 is internal proof that this was written prior to 70AD and is reference to a real temple.
A horrific time for the Jews in Jerusalem ...the one that Jesus predicted would not be let with one stone on top of another.

Yes
But the old testament prophets said there would come a time when a roman leader would enter the most holy place. And place an abomination which causes desolation. And jesus said when they see this, RUN, For then their will be so great a tribulation. His return will be the only means of stoping it, and preventing an extinction event (no flesh would survive)
That has yet to happen.

Does reading Hal Lindsey count and Marvin Rosenthal and everyone in between??? 
Prophesy is prophesy, The bible says if we see a prophet state a prophesy which that thing does not come true, he is a false prophet.
So why are all these OT prophecies not literally fulfilled? Making all the OT prophets false prophets

Before you start telling people what they believe maybe you should ask. And I would not go to “gotquestions.com” to try to figure out what others believe.
God has never stopped fulfilling his promises to Isreal. One of the things God promised them is the desecration of their land and city. (Lev 26) God is still fulfilling his promises to them. So the above statement is false
