“This marks the beginning of our seven years” (good scene prior to this where there is discussion on the plans to erect the 3rd temple)I've often pondered the creation of the temple and the need for a red calf. What are your thoughts on these events?
The red heifer has been mentioned several times. One time it had 3 white hairs but they thought that was O.K. That was many years ago (15?).
I don’t know when, exactly, the 3rd Temple is built. There are many opinions. IMHO the 3rd Temple MUST be operating by the mid-point of the 7-year Tribulation.
The Man of Sin (the 1st Beast mentioned in Revelation 13) MUST halt the sacrifice and daily oblation (Prophet Daniel). Therefore, IMHO, the 3rd Temple MUST be completed (or to the point that it is operating) as part of “normal” by 1,260 days into the 7-years.
Some have suggested that the confirmation of the 7-year covenant will allow for the rebuilding of the temple (that is certainly what the movie suggested and I don’t disagree).
The temple is measured in Revelation 11, so it’s standing by then (Revelation 12 being a sidebar chapter).
I, for one, cannot imagine the 3rd Temple standing on the Temple Mount before the Antichrist confirms the covenant. It would be World War 5. Therefore, I believe it will start and be completed during the first-half of the 7-years.
The world will have their “peace in the Middle East”. It won’t be what they thought it will be.
Blessings.
