I love how you folks seem to think "join me or be eradicated" is a choice. It makes it really difficult to take Christians seriously.

you are correct about Christs Church... this is the Rapture..when he comes to claim his Church (they are the people_Gentiles and converted Jews alike)
BUT the Bible is VERY specific on making the distinction between Christs Church and Solomans Temple..the Temple is an actual place of worship

As Ezekial declared.."I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant : and i will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that i the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. (Ezekial 37:26-28)

also, from the volume titled, Hilchos Bais HaBechirah (The Laws of Gaod's Chosen House): The book contains six key mitzvot that summarize the Lord's laws given to Israel regarding the Temple:
The jews are to build a sanctuary
They are to build the alter with stone that is not hewn
They are not to ascend the alter with steps: they must use a ramp (recall few years back the issue that arose when the jews began building this very ramp, but had to stop due to Muslim resistance)
They must fear and reverence the Temple
They must guard the Temple completely
They must never cease watching the Temple
To this day their is always praying at the West wall day and night it is never left without at least ONE person praying.
also see Revelation 11:1-2
Yes the Temple MUST stand before the Levitical priests confirm and began the animal sacrifice..these men are currently being chosen from the tribes of Cohen and Levi.
I believe that the Temple is an important, if not key, part of the second coming.
I will research and post more soon.

While the temple we worship within is now spiritual that does not change the fact that it has been prophesied that the temple will be rebuilt if only for the abomination to occur. Since we were told by Jesus to look for the signs of his coming and the leader that causes the abomination must be revealed by this act as Paul states before the day of the lord can come than we must consider the building of the temple as one of those signs. So the building of this temple must be looked at as God fulfilling his promise.
