THE THIRD TEMPLE

Jesus taught HE would destroy the TEMPLE and rebuild it in three days. Jesus made it clear that the Temple was and is HIS BODY. Ezekiel wrote there would be the restoring of the Temple. This Temple that Ezekiel wrote about was and is the BODY of The Lord Jesus Christ. John wrote in the Book of Revelation when he looked in heaven he saw NO TEMPLE. "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  Rev. 21:22-23 So then, The Third TEMPLE is Jesus HIM SELF. The Third Temple is portrayed as a religious notion and desire in Judaism rooted and expressed in many of Judaism's prayers for the return and rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem that had once stood as the First and Second Temples that were destroyed by the ancient Babylonians and the Romans. Since the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, religious Jews have expressed their desire to see the building of a Third Temple on the Temple Mount. Prayer for this is a formal part of the Jewish tradition of thrice daily Amidah prayer. Though it remains unbuilt, the notion of and desire for a Third Temple is sacred in Judaism. In life there are things that grow in value, the longer they exist the greater our  appreciation. But on the other hand there's things in life that loose value. They're no longer able to satisfy with the same intensity. Like a car in it's first months with that famous new car smell. But the older the car gets the less it's worth. The earthly Temple's lost there value in time and became irrelevant. To say that the Temple is The Body of Christ shouldn't be a surprise because our body's are temples. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Cor. 6:19  The FATHER has taught us every time the Temple was rebuild it lost glory. "And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.  Ezra 3:10-13 The last TEMPLE has less outer glory then the first two. "For HE shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Is. 53:2  JESUS SAID COME TO ME.
