Why there needs to be a Third Temple[1]?

This was the question asked recently:

“What is your support for the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in the tribulation I don't think there is one going to rebuild that temple.?”

 First point to understand here is that the Scripture clearly teaches, before the “Second Coming” when Jesus returns in “Glory and Power” there will be a Third Temple on the Temple Mount site. 

Let’s look at the scriptural and prophetic evidence for a Third Temple.   In Matthew 24, Jesus talks about both the 2^nd and 3^rd Temples, he makes a distinction between both. The Second Temple existed in the time Jesus

Introduction to Chapter 3

 In Nehemiah Chapter 2 Nehemiah prays and fasts for 4 months before coming before King Artaxerxes of Persia.  Finally on Nisan 444 B.C., (March/April), he comes before the king and queen allowing them to see his depressed and mourning demeanor.  The king seeing his sadness asks him to explain.  Nehemiah then describes the reason for his sadness, the condition of Jerusalem, a city without walls and without gates. The king then asks Nehemiah, what he wants. 

What happens after you die?

 This is the most important question you could ever ask yourself.  The problem is most people wait until it’s too late.  Lets look at Steven Jobs, the founder of Apple, he had the world in the palm of his hands, he developed one of the most profitable companies in history,  his success is what people dream about.  Yet, he died at the age 56, in the prime of his life.

Introduction to Chapter One

  The books of Ezra and Nehemiah, along with 1^st and 2^nd Chronicles were authored by Ezra, the priest and scribe. In the Jewish Bible, Ezra and Nehemiah are one book, while in the Catholic Bible they are known as First and Second Ezra (Esdras). 

            Ezra returned to Jerusalem in 458 B.C., with the authority of Artaxerxes king of Persia.  He had with him almost 1500 men, including woman and children the number who returned with Ezra could have numbered close to 8000 from

Introduction to the Book of Nehemiah

The book of Nehemiah is chronologically one of the last books of the Old Testament.  The book of Nehemiah connects the closing of the Old Testament period with the New Testament period of Messiah, Jesus Christ.   Nehemiah was a man who had vision for God’s will, and he moved on the vision.  Through Nehemiah’s vision, Israel was reestablished in the land of promise, following the Babylonian captivity. 

 Nehemiah was a cup-bearer to the Persian King Artaxerxes I (Longimanus) (465-424 B.C.). When word came from his brother about the deplorable state of Jews who had earlier returned to Jerusalem from Persia, he was moved to action. The walls of Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. and returning Jews under a constant threat.  The very survival of Jerusalem, Jewish population and God’s promises was at stake.  Nehemiah decided something had to be done with this information.

Nehemiah took the news and formulated an action strategy to change the events. Nehemiah formulated a vision of the situation and planned what needed to be done to change it.  He was not just a man of dreams; he was a man of action and planning.  He took God’s promises serious.
