Soon, I believe, the "time of the Gentiles" will elapse, and Israel will have their "time" once again. The Third Temple will reject His Son initially until He returns, and then they will "look on Him whom they have pierced." Israel will repent when they see Him again, seeing the signs and wonders which will then occur. God will thus be faithful to all his promises of old.

I do believe that the millennial kingdom will have both earthly and heavenly temples, God completing his "parallel" works throughout man's history. The earthly explaining the heavenly. Israel will then teach the nations how to worship God. I do believe that the situation of the future will be far more complicated than many teachers portray, i.e. just "heaven and hell."

I agree with you Ohio. Very Good explanation !!!

I've discovered The book of Revelation is mostly the revealing of the Messiah Jesus Christ to the JEWS. The condition of the church is addressed in chs. 2-3. We don't read about it from chs. 6-19. During this time frame God is looking after Israel. We don't hear about the church again until ch 19 when she comes with Christ as His Army to fight the Battle of Armaggeddon.
