WHO WILL BUILD THE THIRD TEMPLE? part one

Read John 2:18-21 Matthew 26:60-61 Zechariah 6:9-15
II Thessalonians 2:4 Acts 15:13-18 Psalms 127:1 Amos 9:11
KJV

Nowhere does scripture prophesy that the Jews will build the third temple of God. Biblical commentators often aver that before Jesus returns to the earth, the Jews must rebuild the third temple. This view does not accord with an exact reading of the Word of God. KJV.

In every place where the third temple is mentioned, the Bible (KJV) relates that Jesus Himself will build the third temple in Jerusalem. In John 2:18-21, Jesus prophesies that man will destroy the second temple, but that Jesus will raise it up in three days. Now it is certainly true that the closest fulfillment of this prophecy occurred with Jesus' resurrection, since He alone was the temple of the Holy Spirit at that time. However, prophecy often has a double meaning. Prophecy often has a near and a far fulfillment. The near fulfillment was about Jesus' resurrection, but the far fulfillment was that Jesus would actually rebuild the third temple.

Here read Matthew 26:60-61
The false witnesses lied when they misquoted Jesus as saying that He would destroy the second temple. Jesus had actually said that man would destroy the second temple.
The false witnesses inadvertently told the truth when they said that Jesus would build the third temple in three days. This is what Jesus had actually said. Unknowingly, the false witnesses were referring to Jesus' resurrection even though they probably knew nothing about it. However, in their minds, they were referring to the building of the actual third temple since they were witnessing as to what Jesus had said.

Satan is a master of a form of lying called a half-truth. Satan put this half-truth into the mouths of the false witnesses in order to attempt to justify the cruel men who would crucify Jesus.

However, God pre-empted Satan's attempt by using the truthful second part of the false witnesses' statement as an inadvertent prophecy on their part that Jesus would build the third temple. In other words, they thought they were lying but God had put a truth in their mouths. Several times in the events surrounding Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, God used even the wicked men who crucified Him as unintentional prophets who spoke the truth about Jesus even though they had no idea what they were actually saying.

Here read Matthew 27:25 John 3:17 II Corinthians 5:14-15
Acts 4:25-28
God used exact meaning where the first part of Matthew 27:25 states: "Then answered all the people." It does not say "then answered the crowd," or any words to that effect. God's meaning is exact. The crowd represented the attitude of all humanity towards Jesus. Because all men are born sinners, then all men have a natural aversion to communion with God.

Here read Romans 5:9-12 Romans 3:23
These facts make all men who were ever born responsible for the rejection and crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
