Whether there will be a temple or not is an interesting question.
The prophecies in Daniel, talk about the sacrifices being halted.
For the sacrificial system to resume, I don't think a full blown temple, is required. It is quite possible that a tent structure could be used, such
a structure could be completed very rapidly. This was of course, what was used during the days of Moses, and certainly God was present during its
use.
One of the critical ingredients needed were and are the ashes of a red heifer, the problem in the past with this, is obtaining red heifers, I think at
one point it was not even known if any red heifers still existed. We have them now, and the Temple Institute has access to them.
But certainly, any resumption of the daily sacrifice in Jerusalem would be a major sign we are close to the end.
you point out several things which need explored....
A 'Temple' which you point out in a later paragraph can be just a
Tent structure would suffice....
to be more exact,
a 'Temple' would not be a tent which actually 'covers' an area...
a canvas or any fabric 'perimeter' which defines an open air
space that has an un-obstructed view of the heavens is technically a Temple Area.
I think you are thinking of the enclosed 'Holy-of-Holies' as the "Temple"
~~~~ wrong ! ~~~~ but in a nice way friend.... the transportable Temple was merely a fabric partition which had in it's enclosure the parts known as
the inner-court/ the outer-court/ the Holy-of-Holies(Tabernacle)
either in the present or in a not so distant future,
a section of Israeli land- which has those imposing walls meant to exclude the Palestinian areas- could very well be built so as to encompass an area
of land which is oin all 4 sides enclosed=>
It would only take the voice/authority/determination of the newly re-established Sanhedrin to authorize or declare the enclosed tract of land as an
official "Temple"-------------- and we can take-it-from-there..........
and extrapolate about
unblemished Red Heiffer Sacrifices
at the Altar contained in the newly designated "Temple"
It's scary to me... but i think i've said too much already,
watch some person or group seize on this message/explaination and
make a bundle on the idea.
Oh well, i didn;t make a bundle on the homo-&-pedophile priests expose' nor the 9-11 event, nor the 1980s most studied super-nova in the southern
hemisphere, nor the mad-cow & prions issues in the food chain years before the Titor time-traveler stories....just to cite a few
Grin-&-Bear-It, as they say....
