I'm curious... how many of you guys are jewish? how many of you studied torah under a rabbi? how many of you know the jewish culture, the jewish religion, and/or what it means to be a jew?

So, as far as the "Third Temple" goes, what do the Prophets say about a Third Temple?
"..."Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch (a term for the Messiah) From His place He shall branch out, And HE SHALL BUILD THE TEMPLE, Yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and sit and rule on His throne; So he shall be a priest on His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both (both natural and spiritual governments - or kings and priests)..."
There will not be a third temple built by man, Y'shua ben David (Jesus) will build the last Temple. When He returns as King.

Christians wish for the end of times because it would validate their religion.
They may go on about how much they love jesus, and how sure they are in the bible but those who need validation such as this are the ones who are the most uncertain deep down.

Also I have a very good Mormon friend and he says the only authorized temple builders are the Mormons and they are the ones who will be building or directing the building of the actual third temple and officiating in it through baptized members of the tribe of Lehi. Somebody should check that puppy out....

Sounds like more religious baloney to me. Where is this 'proof' then? Someone just stated that 'yes it's true - but know one is supposed to know!'.
Oh, puleeze folks - you'll have to do a LOT better than that We're not THAT naive here, you know.... well, not most of us.
Good try though.

Why do we see your absence in the threads about nessie the loch ness monster or big foot? Perhaps it is the real myths you don't worry so much about while you secretly concern yourself with the real possibility that God is in fact real and he is Pissed off.

There is NO "Third Temple" to be rebuild in Jerusalem, because there was NO FIRST TEMPLE EVER built in Jerusalem. None. Over 60 years of Israeli/Jewish archaeologists digging hither and yon, and NO evidence of any "King David" (actually stolen tales of King Omri, and the "Temple" was in Sechem), or of any "great city" of "King Solomon" either, absolutely NO archaeological remains of anything but a very small village where shepherds gathered. Sorry, facts are facts. Nothing was there.

Now, on "Jesus." This is the Roman version of the Mithra myth, up until the 5th century AD, there was NO portrayal of "Jesus" on any cross, no tales of his being crucified, nor hung on a cross (Mithra was, in myth), no artwork or legends of "Jesus" ever even walking the earth. That came later, he was originally a Sun God myth, and NEVER walked the Earth until the Romans crossed these myths with the existing Mithra legends. fact.
It (your "Hey Zeus" myths) were ALL made up at the Council of Nicea, by the Roman "Pagan turned Christian", Constantine, and that is historical fact.

Your first three links show that the palace of David was *possibly* found, with the one story actually sounding more skeptical than anything.
Your last link is interesting, however you see that by its own admission the New Testament was written between 50 and 100 AD. Jesus died in 30 AD.
If there is a reason or an explanation for that discrepancy, I'm willing to read it. I might just be misunderstanding something here, but if I'm not, then you've just proven the Gospels to be works of fiction...
