Do you believe the Jewish temple will be rebuilt in the near future ?

There are lots of Jewish temples being redone.  In my town, there is one that was torn down and is being rebuilt into a multi-million dollar complex.  I am newly reborn and am just learning about the things of the Bibble, however, if you are referring to that.  Amen and Praise our Lord Jesus ;).

It is unlikely that the Bible as we know it will be re-written anytime soon. It is too entrenched in our culture as is.\n\nI suspect that some 'New New Testament' will arise sometime, but see a pretty big struggle before it is accepted- and it will probably cause a huge schism in the faith.

It would be a major miracle if any original Parchments remain Today.   They were shared with all the existing Churches of the First Century A.D.. No doubt they would be in poor repair very quickly.\n\nThe Dead Sea Scrolls would be the oldest known copies. So far they have been very valuable in proving the accuracy of The Biblical Text.

While I cannot predict it, I can make a guess. I believe it will happen during my lifetime, and I'm 59. Look at the "wars and rumors of wars," the earthquakes, etc. Don't know if you believe in the Bible, however, one passage states (to paraphrase), "when the flower blooms in the desert (speaking of Israel), this generation will not pass away until the end of time comes." This refers to Israel becoming a nation... and this is my generation.

yes they will Jace, just before the tribulation. Or they will do something drastic like that, because without a doubt the un will set out to destroy religion.......

I don't believe the bible is foretelling the future.  Rather, it tells us that we are invited to be with God eternally in the future and shows us how.

It is believed by some that it will start around Babylon.  That is somewhere in Iraq.  Others believe it will be near Jerusalem.  I personally am not concerned.  Predicting the future is best left to those who wish to deceive or play guessing games.

I believe that one day God will return and the book of Revalations will be fulfilled.\n\nRapture?  that word isn't in the Bible.  It was first coined around 1850 and was never mentioned previously.  That is a man-made idea.

It would be nice if styles and mores reverted back to the 1950's, but I don't think they will.\n\nIran will probably nuke Jerusalem which will precipitate the total devastation of the muslim middle east and result in the subsequent reassignment of national borders in that region.  \n\nRussia will probably believe that they need to neutralize us before they destroy Israel to end further use of nuclear bombs.\n\nMost people think the "Cold War" ended hostilities between the uSA and the Soviet Union, but I'm sure THEY don't think so.  It's my bet nukes will fly and our coasts will be fried, but our inland areas saved by Patriot missiles.  We'll probably retaliate in kind, cause vast devastation over there, but they have so many bomb shelters, life will go on.\n\nThe results of all the nuclear fallout will replace "global warming" as the rallying cry for environmentalists and they will get the one world government they've always wanted, but they'll find out in short order that it's not the warm & fuzzy grandmother style nanny-state they'd hoped for.  \n\nChina will see all this as an opportunity to leverage their own power-play and they will burst upon the scene with an army of unprecedented size to take whatever land area they can.  \n\nIt gets bumpy from there.

After WWII and the Nazi persecution of the Jews, the UN and the world leaders set up a secular nation of Israel at the beckoning of SECULAR ZIONISTS. This is not the "Kingdom" of Israel and has nothing to do with any Bible restoration prophecy. People today (“Christian Zionists”) think it is according to prophecy, but they are seriously mistaken. Any restoration prophecies that really pertain to literal Israel were fulfilled long ago when they were released from Babylonian captivity. Any newer prophecies are fulfilled in a new Israel which is not the literal nation of Israel, but rather a spiritual nation of people made up of every nation and tongue today. Their Jerusalem is a heavenly one. Their capital city is a heavenly government ruled by the resurrected Christ Jesus.\n\nJesus Christ, near the end of his lfe, stood on the hill overlooking Jerusalem and the temple....looked down at it and condemned their relationship with God.\n\nNow....looking at the modern situation...it gets very interesting....you see there are a great many Christian Zionists who think that Israel is still favored by God and they feel the Israelites have a god-given right to palestine....these people have HUGE pull in the affairs of the governments which support Israel. Believe it or not this zionist movement will do anything to prevent the current peace efforts from proceeding because they do not want Israel to loose any of their "god-given" land. (The peace plans or "road map to peace" calls for them to loose some)\nThese people interestingly think they are going to be raptured off the world scene so they do not have to deal with any of the nasty results of their meddleing. The Christian zionists are sadly mistaken and bad things will come from their involvement.....(They already have).\n\nGoing on.....ponder this....just 3 days before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US.....the United States and Israel walked out of the UN conference on racism...they turned their backs on the world community who had passed a resolution that stated that zionism equals racism. This conference was planned for years......the arab community for years planned to present this resolution at this very conference......I wonder.....Could it be.....that this was in fact the TRIGGER for the attacks on the WTC in New York and the pentagon? Were these Al Khada terrorists poised and waiting for this walk out? I say this is a possibility, but what do I know? This presents the question.....If the US was not so motivated by Christian Zionists and their political influence, would there have been an attack? Would Muslims have the same view that they have of Americans today? Thanks for asking this question.

I don't think it'll ever be fully reconciled, but it will be closer than it is now.  It seems the pendulum of thought is swinging back toward the dark ages at the moment :(

I agree. It will be around for quite some time but I feel that it will have to change in a major way for intelligent people to continue to follow its teachings.

NO I THINK THE RELIGION WILL BE GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN PRINCIPLE TO LIVE TOGETHER AND GET THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER TOGETHER AND TO FIGHT WITH NATURAL CLIMAXES IN THE OLD DAYS BUT WITH THE PASSING OF TIME IT IS USED FOR THE POLITICAL PURPOSE.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

They wont. They've been sitting there for two thousand years waiting for the Messiah to come since they killed Jesus and still can't admit that maybe, just maybe, oops maybe we killed the Messiah by mistake. Our bad.\n\nBY THE WAY - super clever post there "redsoxfanjme"

I know I am certainly looking forward to the time when this is fulfilled 100% earthwide.\n\nOf course I am enjoying this condition now in the Spiritual paradise God's people enjoy today, just as prophesied to occur IN THE FINAL PART OF THE DAYS mention in the first couple of verses of that chapter.\n\n"And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it peoples must stream. And many nations will certainly go and say: “Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem." - Micah 4:1, 2; Isaiah 2:2, 3.

We believe this is the dispensation of the Fullness of times.  All things had to be restored including the Aaronic Priesthood. \n\nThis restoration also included polygamy and will one day bring the Law of Consecration as well.
