Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem

[EarlyActs]

Interesting question … can you build a 5th temple (building) while the 4th temple (Christ) is still standing?

It can be built as a deception, of course. It would break everything Hebrews is trying to say. And other passages, but notice the intended name of it.

The "new posts" list said there was new posts here but twice this morning, nothing new is there (another thread did the same thing).

Thank you for taking the time to do the research.
Interesting thought. I never heard that some believe the Dome of the Rock was the temple mentioned in 2 Thes 2:4.
Currently I don't believe that. But as I said, interesting thought.
My question would be....who is the restrainer and when was the restrainer taken out of the way so that the lawless could be revealed?
What was the strong delusion God sent?
I'll address.... " 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion/apostasy comes first, "....in the response below.
APOSTASY...
the Geneva Bible of 1587 put it this way....
Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for that day shall not come, except there come a departingCOLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)[/COLOR]first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition,

So, apostasy...just what does the word mean?
The meaning of the word refers to ... "to stand away" or "to depart." I copied that directly from Strongs 646. apostasia
The question is....does depart mean a spiritual departure or a physical spatial departure? Or can it refer to BOTH?

No, that is not the question. . .apostasy is not a new word, it's been around forever, and its correct meaning has been known forever.
Apostasy is not a "physical departure," it is a departure from principles or faith, a departure from what one had formerly professed.

Concerning a physical departure the word apostasia is derived from the word aphistémi. Acts 12:10 uses this word as follows
"and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him." This departure wasn't a spiritual departure but rather a physical departure.
Considering the make up of the word can refer to both a spiritual or physical departure we need to look at the subject or text of 2 Thes 2.
But first, will you agree the word can refer to a spiritual departure or a physical spatial departure.
2 Thes 2 starts off by speaking of the "gathering"
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,...which I see as the rapture of the church presented in 1 Thes 4.....knowing that it's not hard to see the "departure" in 2 Thes 3 is a reference to the pre-trib rapture when the christians are removed....paving the way for the rebuilding of the temple and the antichrist setting up the "peace plan"
