The Israelis set for new Jewish temple on Al-Aqsa site

I am planning to look into the context of Ezekiel's section on this temple in the near future. All I remember at this point is it is prophesied to be built after Christ returns, but that doesn't make sense given the animal sacrifices. Those are not necessary anymore.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “this generation will not pass”?

Jesus died to conquer death so it isn't something we should be afraid of anymore. Also take comfort that if you're away from the body, you're present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).

Thanks JohnB for your posted question: What did Jesus mean when He said, "this generation will not pass?" I read the reference writing that you gave to answer this question. I thought it was a reasonable attempt to explain the verse. Still, I am not convinced that it has eliminated another possible interpretation. That would be that the term "generation" is not talking about a generation from one family member to the next born in line of that family, let's say, on average, about 20 to 30 years. Rather, the term 'generation' means "this type of person". When we look at Strong's Concordance, one of the definitions given is: "a group of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character ". To my mind, this fits in very well with the use of the term in Matthew 24. In various parts of the Bible, we have reference to 'this wicked generation' and to 'this evil generation'. A look at this type of person, being referred to in the Bible, can be found in the Pharisees who opposed Jesus, even though they claimed to be religious. If we use that type of person as what is meant in Matthew 24, then the verse from Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled " would actually be meaning that right up until the end there would continue to be these types of religious people who claimed to be from God but who actually oppose Jesus. In this case, Jesus would have been letting them in on the realization that people opposing Christ, who claim to be religious, were not going away soon or instantly, but rather true believers should expect to be dealing with them right up to the end.

The one that says, the Man of Sin will sit, on the Temple Throne, proclaiming to be God!

Kind of need a Temple to fulfill that Verse!

4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

What about a tabernacle like the Israelites had when they left Egypt ( see exodus chap. 25 and onward ) and wandered in the desert towards the promised land? If a temple cannot be built would a tabernacle do?

Revelation 13:6 (KJV)
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

you mean when it was a portable traveling Tent?

yes, as a portable tent, they did this as a temporary measure. I know that now the jewish peoples have trained Levites and have done practice runs for the sacrifices. they have now the red heifers they need to proceed.

It could be, I have been thinking about this for about 2 years now. The space required is rather small, the tabernacle would probably fit on temple mount but i did not verify this at this point. VCO who has a thread on the third temple might know but might blast me for this idea, I might try to ask him. if the Jewish peoples go this way, the end could be very close indeed.

Blessings.

his thread is good but he is not thinking anywhere in terms of a Tent, i promise you that.
yeah, see what he says!
i will try to follow that discussion for sure.

Christ was the true atonement for sins no third temple sacrifice system should be in place or supported by christians.And theres also the abomination maybe a past event.. it could be the 'temple' that's already there? 🤔

It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds in the months and years ahead. It just seems like we are taking a step backwards as a race seeking to reinstitute an obsolete religious/worship system (of course, Orthodox Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah who will return to them again in the future):

Acts 7:48-49 KJV

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, And earth is my footstool: What house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

Because of Christ, God dwells in our hearts, and we as Christians are temples of the Holy Spirit. If I remember correctly, I don't think God was thrilled with the idea David had of building Him a physical temple to begin with. He was just fine having His presence in the temporary tabernacle that was constructed after the exodus from Egypt.

Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
