The New Temple and the Second Coming

(The Prophecy that Points to Christ’s Return in Your Generation)

“The scriptures make it clear that just before Christ returns, the third temple of God must stand again on the original location at the temple mount.” Christian, do you know how many temples in all there will be? Do you know how significant they will be to your future? “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

This book gives a brief look at the history of the first two temples.  The seeks to explain the prophecies concerning the temple and points out how precise God was in his instructions for building and using this magnificent edifice.  It details the story of Israel becoming a nation again and says, without hesitation, that “the generation alive today will see once again the temple of God standing in Jerusalem, and the Kind of Israel – the returning Messiah – ruling from the throne of David.”

The author, who has been researching these subjects for many years, details an exciting effort in the chapter, “Recovering Lost Temple Treasures”; and he excites our imaginations even more in the chapter, “Exploring the Ancient City Underneath Jerusalem.”  “David prophesied: When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in His Glory” (Psalm 102:16). This was regarding the rebirth of Israel. In the chapter, “Practical Preparations for Rebuilding the Temple”, you will discover facts you thought you knew; but this explanation will further enlighten you.

The author uses the prophecies of Ezekiel 40-48, Daniel 9:24-29 and Zechariah 14 to predict how long Israel will carry out temple worship.  He explains that this, “my brother, does” concern you.

Do you know what the abomination of desolation refers to? The reader will gain much understanding from the author’s explanation of this and, later, from an explanation of “the ark’s prophetic role.”

Finally, let me say that this is an easy and educational book, and I urge you to read it. Trust me, you will not only enjoy it, you will grow from it.
