During the reign of Solomon, son of King David, the Jewish people abandoned the Tent of the Meeting to worship God in a high place in the territory of Judah, Jerusalem. It was David, king of Judah, who wanted to build a temple for God so that all the people could come to worship him. He brought back the Ark of the Covenant and built his palace. But God made his will known to him through the prophet Nathan.
" When your life is over and you have joined your ancestors, I will designate one of your sons. He will be king after you, and I will firmly establish my power. He is the one who will build my house for me, and thanks to me his royal power will be established forever." 2 Samuel 7: 12-13
David made Jerusalem the capital of his kingdom, but he will not see the Temple rise from the ground.
The first Temple was therefore built by Solomon (10 centuries BC), and was destroyed by the Babylonian army around 587-586 BC. JC. The Jewish people were then deported to Babylon by the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. The second Temple was rebuilt under Cyrus (king of Persia) by Zorobabel (grandson of the king of Judea, Joachim). He took the head of the people after their liberation from Babylon.
This second Temple was destroyed in the year 70 by the Roman army, led by Titus.
Biblical Prophecy:
Several interpretations of the word concern the construction of the 3rd Temple. Jews and Christians have different visions.
Jews believe that the Messiah will return after the Temple is built. Some eschatological interpretations of Christians suggest that the Third Temple will house anti-Christ 7 years after its construction, which will plunge the world into chaos before the return of Jesus.
Israel has officially said it is ready to build the 3rd Temple on what they suppose is the Temple Mount, but this place is currently occupied by the muslim mosque Haram al-Sharif.
NB: a lot of experts consider this place to not be the mount temple, but the place where the fort Antonia, a roman fortress, was standing during the time of the 2nd temple. They say the real temple mount is in the City of David, not far from it... Jews prefer to not listen to them and follow the tradition....

>The Third Holy Temple soon to be built? Yes but it will be a giant mausoleum for 6 million Jews located somewhere in the Mediterranean sea.
Jerusalem (yeru-Shalem, to the god Shalem) has been a pain in the arse for three thousand years. Sooner the whole shit-city lies beneath smouldering radio-active rubble the better.

I watched this incredible documentary on the Temples. We are very close to a construction of the 3rd Temple, and the coming of the antichrist I think. youtu.be/G0Wg61Dn72E I realized this world is the stage of spiritual wars and nothing that is not spiritual actually matters.

2024 last day in office, Drumpf declares Jerusalem capital of the world. Then sets off into the sunset like a boomer with his 1400 incel slaves

if it gets rebuilt, i hope a new roman empire will be around to sack and raze it again.
Christian here. The bible actually says in Ezekiel 33 and 34, Hosea 3:5 and revelations that. God will gather all of the lost tribes from amongst the heathen nations where they will be preyed on no more and will be ruled by Mashiach Ben David under the King of Kings Jesus Christ. Not sure where Christians got that he's the antichrist that is the opposite of what is in the actual bible.
