"According to a centuries-old rabbinical prophecy that appears to be coming true, on March 16, 2010, Israel will begin construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
During the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon, a respected rabbinical authority, prophesied that the Hurva Synagoge in Jerusalem, which was built during his day, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice, and that when the Hurva was completed for the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.
The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed shortly after its initial construction when Muslims demanding the return of loans tore it down. The synagogue was rebuilt a hundred years later and became the most important Jewish house of worship in the Holy Land, only be blown to pieces by Jordanian troops during Israel's 1948 War of Independence.
In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the landmark, which today stands in the center of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City. The building is scheduled to be completed and the Hurva Synagogue dedicated for the third time on March 15 of next year. "

If you want to look at things in the Carnal way and not in a Spiritual Way, then they could build a building 5280 ft. sq and High and it will not bring the living God or His Christ into mankind any differant than HE 'is' doing right now. Lee

I would think a project of that political magnitude won't go unnoticed. Surely they can't just start building without anyone knowing about it....?

Lee, I think that's the size of New Jerusalem not the temple.
It was just an example of more carnal thinking..

Is new Jerusalem build?
I thought it decended from heaven?
Anyway I understand your point.

Would be another example of the Lord using the simple things to confuse the "wise."
:cloud9: Since the body (in the natural) can only do what it sees it's head do (in the Spirit), I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T build the temple soon. Blessings.....
