Oh great, the temple if rebuilt will take us back to prior the iron and bronze age, and back to the days when primitive people believed that God, or the gods, were propitiated by the sacrifice of animals.
Obviously no modern educated person will believe such things unless they are very superstitious.
Like the Santeria. In the 1980s the city of Hialeah, Florida outlawed the Santeria from sacrificing animals in their religious rituals. Legal action was taken against the city of Hialeah that went up to the supreme court.
Who came to Santeria's support? The Jews. Why? Because when the temple is rebuilt they too will go back to sacrificing animals.
Christians have no problem at all considering the Santeria religion as pagan and superstitious. But not claim the same against the Jews. Why the double standard?
Didn't Jesus put an end to animal sacrifice once and for all?
Mat 12:6
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Mat 12:7
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice
