What happens if the temple never gets built?
Then what?
14:1 Behold, a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward.

I believe that if they have enough building to be able to start the sacrifices agian then that is all they need. I have also heard the the Temple is basically already built in pieces. They just have to move them in place. I imagine it would not take long to get the Temple ready for the sacrifice again.

animal sacrifice
jews think they are under the levitcal laws still
all 613 of them, pretty intense
im starting to wonder if the levites are still the only preists who can enter the temple
since jews dont believe jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, they still need to sacrifice animal blodd, and an unblemished one at that, the best of the best so to say
are levites still around? anyone?

levites were never given a piece of land but were given the preisthood over isreal
this is where tithing came in to feed the levites and in turn levites tithed as well to help the poor and needy.
kinda like we all help each other for ourselves but to also show faith in god for love of one another
so many things can branch into different threads it could go on forever
also story goes that when moses went to the mountain to meet with god, the only jews who didnt stray and worshipped the golden calf were the levites hence the honor of the preisthood, aarons bloodline (aarons rod which is in the ark)

A group of religious Jews who live in the Jordan Valley near the ancient city of Jericho are taking practical steps to prepare for the building of the third temple in Jerusalem by preparing descendants of the Kohanim, the priests, and the Levites for service in this next temple. These Jewish leaders have established a training center where temple priests can learn exactly how to conduct the daily temple services and offer the required sacrifices as dictated by the Jewish laws from the Biblical book of Leviticus.
