I suppose they could build a temple, but it could never actually be a Temple of God since God did away with temple worship and now the Temple of God is the church.
Well since Haggai 2 already declares all unclean, it is a wonder that men are "training to become priests"Hey EG: Do you understand what precedent means? We understand what God will do and what God will not do by precedent. In other words, if God gives us a clear in context example of what He will do and what He will not do, then we can judge from that when we are wondering what God may do in the future. We have precedent on Temple building, first the tabernacle, then first Temple, then reconstructing the second Temple. In all cases these things were done by people who were saved(if you will), Godly folks who would go be with God when they died. Therefore we understand from that precedent that a Temple of God can only be built by men of God. Now, the Jews who have rejected Christ are headed for hell, they are not Godly people, therefore there is no reason from scripture to believe that God COULD allow then to build an actual Temple of God. Also, God has said that His present Temple is the church, so the Temple of God already exists.
Who will have a part in the first resurrection?You are correct Samuel, the temple of God is the Church. The nation Israel is not the church. And God has unfinished prophesies with Israel and her holy city Jerusalem, which he will be fulfilled during that last seven years.
The same reason why no man could approach the HOLY presence of GOD unless they were specifically called washed and consecrated/set apart/marked as belonging to GOD to do soWhy can human beings not build a temple on Zion?
Who will have a part in the first resurrection?

and those who have been washed won't be building an earthly temple
and who will be reigning during this time?
who...makes up those who have a part in the first resurrection?

Will both of these (the church) and those who come to faith in CHRIST during the tribulation (who either died or are standing after the great tribulation) have "WHITE ROBES"There will be wrath for both Jew and Gentile unbelievers. However, there will be both Jew and Gentile who God will spare through the time of His wrath. The woman of Rev.12 represents unbelieving Israel who will flee out into the wilderness and will be cared for 1260 i.e. that last 3 1/2 years until Christ returns. Likewise, many of the great tribulation saints will be killed, but there will also be those who will survive to the end.
Both those who survive of Israel and those great tribulation saints, will be those who will repopulate the earth during the millennial period.
What about those who died in the LORD (from now on) whose "works" will proceed them?The following are who are mentioned as ruling with Christ during His thousand year reign:
The Church:
"To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star!"
The Male Child/144,000:
"She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne."
The Great Tribulation Saints:
"This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years."
The Church at the Lord's appearing
The Male Child/144,000 (caught up)
The Two witnesses
The great tribulation saints
These above are all stages of the first resurrection.
Everyone who does not take part in the last resurrection at the great white throne judgment belongs to the first resurrection.
The Shekinah Glory has left the temple.
Who is the NEW JERUSALEM comprised of as mentioned in revelation 21?You are correct Samuel, the temple of God is the Church. The nation Israel is not the church. And God has unfinished prophesies with Israel and her holy city Jerusalem, which he will be fulfilled during that last seven years.
What about those who died in the LORD (from now on) whose "works" will proceed them?
Who is the NEW JERUSALEM comprised of as mentioned in revelation 21?
The Temple is now in Heaven, so earthly simulacra are irrelevant.
God has simply forbidden the Legalists from rebuilding a Temple (which will deceive a lot of people) until now.
So if all have the same WHITE ROBES (which signify faith in CHRIST's sacrifice for our salvation) why are you saying there is two programsSaved Israel, The church, the Male Child/144,000, the great tribulation saints and anyone whose name is found written in the book of life.
So then, according to you, we know the time Jesus returns, to be the end of the 70th week.
We all know that no-one knows the day not hour of Jesus' return.
As i have already shown you are in error on Daniel's 70th week. But hey ho, i might just as well bang my head against the proverbial wall.
