Yeah, but THIS time it's DIFFERENT! Or so say the date-setters and headline eschatologists.
The Epistle to the Hebrews is in the Bible as well as Ezekiel.
< shakes_head=sadly>
I recall hearing pop dispensationalist pundit Chuck Missler relegate the epistle to the Hebrews to the millenium. "For the Jews".
< /shakes_head=sadly>
The final, eschatological, temple is heavenly, built "without hands", as it were.
The tree is Christ not the nation of Israel. The Jews were cut off due to their rejection of Christ and the Gentiles were grafted in by their believe. At the end time a remnant of the Jews will be grafted in again.
That happened in 1948. Now the preparations for a rebuilt Temple, especially in conjunction with all the other signs of Christ's soon return, are very important.
bttt
It means 490 years.
Ten jubilees. I recall seeing citations from intertestamental Jewish sources that took it that way.

Google and you’ll see that this ‘temple’ is far more fascinating to certain Christians than it is to religious Jews.
And this is a ‘West Bank’ town that Jews will have to vacate to please the US government. Maybe the muzzies will keep it as a tourist attraction.
In other words, there isn’t any clear statement in Scripture that the temple must be rebuilt.
There was a much greater chance of a rebuilt Temple under the Ottomans 150 years ago than there is under a secular Israeli government under the thumb of the USA.
Bingo.
I do not believe that God is going to allow a Temple TO HIM to stand”
The way I understand it is Jesus was the blood sacrifice to end all blood sacrifice.
The Jews don’t believe Christ was God.
The temple will be built by them to offer up a red calf in blood sacrifice.
Maybe some from the END TIMES list can respond.
I’d have to refresh my memory and study . . . IIRC . . . it’s 70 weeks of 7’s
Been a while since I studied that.
Scripture gave an explanation for that . . .
Evidently you don’t choose to believe it.
NOT REMOTELY Biblically true.
God declared that as long as there were sun, moon, stars, HIS EVERLASTING PROMISTS TO THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB WOULD REMAIN IN FORCE.
Disbelieve God Almighty at your own risk.
I see you collected a rash of
Preterists, A-Mils, Post-Mils, Run-of-the-Mills
REPLACEMENTARIANS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!
Sigh.
Not by a long shot.
I knew it meant 490 yrs - what I REALLY meant is the significance to the rest of the scripture. Sorry about that - I didn’t make myself clear.
Evidently you don’t choose to believe it.
Scripture gave me a completely different answer. Evidently you don't choose to believe it.
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
I don’t know how this can be if the Temple is not rebuilt.
I’ve never found
REPLACEMENTARIAN TWISTING OF SCRIPTURE
to be remotely Biblical nor fruitful in any good sense.
