This is wild. A 3D street view rendering of the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem can be viewed on Google maps. I guess that somebody is expecting a new Jewish Temple to be built on the Temple Mount. In fact some Israeli Rabbis have been negotiating with the Islamic world over the past few years about building a new temple. They say that building a new temple will usher in lasting peace. Unfortunately when they say peace and safety then sudden destruction will come upon them (2Thessalonians 5:3). So the presence of a new temple in Jerusalem is a sign that Israel’s time of trouble is right around the corner.
Daniel 9:27 indicates that the Antichrist will put an end to temple sacrifices during the Tribulation period. This verse seems to suggest that provisions for the new temple will be part of the seven year term agreement that the Antichrist makes regarding Israel. This treaty could also involve other world powers.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Revelation 11:1-2 indicates the presence of a temple in Jerusalem during the Tribulation. The nations around Israel will have control over the outside of the temple.
Revelation 11:1-2 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
This is unmistakable evidence that Israel’s time of trouble is near. The Resurrection and Rapture may be even nearer! Prepare to meet your God!

High Time to Awake 
Craig,
This should wake the church up, but I’m sure there are still those who believe what past prophecy teachers have taught. Many taught that the new temple had to replace the Dome of the Rock, but it is now believed that the temple can be put on the mount, without disturbing the Dome. If people are still in denial that we are nearing the end, then they should ask this question: Why has that one little hill been the center of history for over 2,000 years? Craig, do you know where Israel’s new ambassador to Turkey stands on the new temple project?

David,
What you said about the Dome having to be destroyed. Pretty much everybody I talk to thinks that this Dome has to be destroyed before the New Temple can be built. However, just like you mentioned and as Google Maps shows, it may not be the case.

Hi Matthew. It never entered my mind that the Islamic landmarks needed to be moved or removed before a temple could be built. There is nothing said about it in the Bible.

Matthew,
Traditionally some Jewish scholars believed that the Holy of Holies was located where the Dome now resides. Modern archeologists have suggested that is not the case. There is a lot of debate, and speculation about where Herod’s Temple was, and Solomon’s Temple would have been in yet another location near the City of David. I agree with Craig, the Bible is not exact on the actual building site of the restored end times temple, and does not mention replacing another piece of architecture. One thing that excites me, is that we are close to this event taking place. Everything Craig is saying is falling into place very rapidly.
It’s been nice to read your comments here on Craig’s site. He has done an amazing job on his commentaries.

The Dome of the Rock is NOT the location of the previous temple.
Lots of info on this, the Western Wailing wall is the remains of the former Roman garrison built on higher ground, above the previous Temple which was slightly downslope from the garrison. These details are in the Bible, and other extra Biblical and historical texts. The Temple could be built today, Muslims or no.

Hi David. I tend to agree with you. There is some evidence that the last temple was on the temple mount and then additional walls were built around it. I tend to think that the pool of Siloam in the city of David is the cleansing pool that led up to the temple in the city of David.
Either way I don’t think that it matters as long as a new Jewish temple is built in Jerusalem.
