The location of the site has always been identified as the location of the current Dome of the Rock, the site of a Muslim Mosque. Then evidence surfaced that the actual location may be in a nearby area in the City of David.

The timeline of what we see in the scripture doesn't seem to allow for a lengthy process of rebuilding the temple. So, it would be amazing if all of orthodoxy were to be convinced of a different location. When/if we see that happen, it might be time to fasten your seatbelts!

There’s probably the same levels of speculation and controversy as to end time events among the Jews as among Christians. I’m thinking that the “covenant with the Prince” spoken of in Daniel perhaps will provide a suitable compromise. It was fascinating to see several Arab countries normalize relations with Israel under the last administration. I wonder if the Temple was ever discussed?

It’s interesting to see the ironies. The Temple was rebuilt the 2nd time under the endorsement of the Persian king. Today, however, the Persian “king” is forcing a security realignment between Israel and Arabs. Seeing Iran aligned with Russia/China probably will only strengthen that alliance. One strange difference between our own two political parties can be seen here. The left favors Iran while the right favors Israel/Arabs.

Daniel 9 mentions the “Prince” destroying the Temple, and yet (spaced apart by two millennia) the Prince will later facilitate its rebuilding.
