That's what I've always heard too. What realistic scenario would have to play out, in light of current events, for the rebuilding of the temple to commence? IMHO the only possibility would be war involving Israel. If the Iran nuclear deal is signed, this will provoke Israel which could result in war involving most of the middle eastern countries. If the UN recognizes a Palestinian state, this will provoke Israel which could result in war. It's likely that Obama will support such an action. If one or all of these things happen, Israel is running out of options to prolong its existance by any other means.
Leviticus 25:10King James Version (KJV)
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
We've not discussed the year of the Jubilee which occurs every 50 years on the Hebrew calendar. Again, this is prophetic, and not for observance by any nation but Israel. Jonathan Cahn believes that it's possible that Sept 14,2015 will begin the next Jubilee year. There's no hard and fast evidence that this is the case. The case FOR it is this:
In 1917-1918, World War I, the Balfour Declaration allowed Jews to come home to Jerusalem from the 4 corners of the world. To the Jewish people this was certainly a Jubilee.
Fifty years later (Hebrew calendar) 1966-67, saw the "6-Day" war in Israel, allowing Israel to recapture Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. However, under UN pressure, Israel gave the Temple Mount back to the Arabs. Again, certainly a Jubilee.
Now, another 50 years from 1966-67 we have 2015-16. This 50 years begins on Sept. 14, 2015. If there was war in Israel, is it likely they would proceed to begin rebuilding the Temple on the Temple Mount? Under what scenario would Israel, if they had control of the Temple Mount, NOT begin rebuilding the temple?
It seems to me that in the entire world, something big is about to happen. It looks like it would a miracle for some global catastrophe NOT to happen.
