I finally got through this very long thread that's been in the making for the past few years. Hats off to VCO for keeping vigil over any fresh news about the building of the third temple!

This is my stance....
After Daniel was told all these fantastic prophecies, he said:
Daniel 12:8 - I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
Then the angel near him said:
Daniel 12:9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
So right now things are not clear to me even if it seems clear as day to some people. I think VCO makes a good case about where the temple might be, but so does the other camp.
What I'm going to do is just wait and see where God actually lets the temple be built and I'll accept it wherever that may be. All I know clearly at this point is that it's going to be built.

Thank you, VCO, for your dedication to this issue!
