Many People view The Last Days from only The Perspective they've been taught. We must remember the primary mistake of not only man, but even of the Teachers of Jesus' day was to look only for a Conquering King rather than a Suffering Servant, for instance. They were looking at what and for what type of Messiah they thought they needed, one that would Restore Israel, rather than what God had decreed for His First coming at His earthly birth and life's Mission, to be a Sinless Deliverer of the Scattered ones throughout the world from every nation, by dying in and for the sins of the whole World.
With that major lesson overlooked, forgotten or ignored, there have arisen many different "Camps" on views of the End-Times. The very fact they exist among so many solid teachers shows we may not all be looking at the same pieces of the puzzle. There are common teachings like "10 Things which Must Occur Before Jesus Comes" and the like, which, though true, are overly dogmatic on "how" they must occur, and therefore, in the scheme of the consummation of the ages, are like looking at only one side of a diamond under a microscope, or having on a head-set (headphones, but mind-set could be accurate as well) listening to only their daughter playing one instrument amidst an entire symphony.
Yes, "The Last Things," things which must occur before Jesus comes, and there are there many more than only 10 things, but many and most could either occur almost instantly. "Suddenly" these things could occur, which the bible says of the Temple, "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 3:1). When Jesus mentioned this, He mentioned 3 Days, and it was ultimately used against Him as a death sentence. It was most definitely a natural resurrection of His body to which he referred, but no one can deny The Resurrection also birthed the "Spiritual Temple, The Mystical Body of Christ, of which, Peter and Paul clearly teach, "we are living stones, and members one of another, joined to Jesus by the Holy Spirit and baptized into one body." (1 Peter, Ephesians, 1 Cor 12, The Bride in Revelation). What if Jesus has another Ace or Ace's in His back pocket we haven't considered? Are we giving room for these, or just listening to our favorite granddaughter playing the piccolo?
To focus on just one point would serve the whole purpose of the warning... The "Rebuilding of the Temple of the Lord," which is well established, among many other pre-requisites to the 2nd Coming, whether that 2nd Coming happens in "the same manner as he left" as the Angels told the bewildered disciples at His ascension in Acts 1, and we meet Him in the Air to Come Back to Earth to earth after the power of the holy ones is shattered, and we go through tough times as our predecessors have had to historically, or are just somehow exempted from trials temporarily like the Jewish nation in Goshen during the Egyptian Plagues, to finish business; or Whether He Comes as an Ark, Picking up passengers to take us away from tough times, Then Comes a Third time to take care of business with us-- let's look at this all a little more humbly, dear reader, as we continue, as a healthy vaccination from the sickness of the Pharisees and lawyers of Jesus' Day.
Yes the Temple must be rebuilt before He comes. Consider again the Bible itself teaches dual or multiple fulfillment so, which I will touch on briefly one sentence from now, but consider just one thing -- that Temple could be rebuilt by Jesus with Modern construction in far more quickly than 46 years in His day, especially if they pre-fab everything outside of the site with Computer Aided Accuracy, and Fly in Large Pieces on Helicopters, for instance, even.
It is based on the dual version of prophecy so frequent in Old Test Scripture interpreted by the Holy Spirit in the New and by the early and traditional church -- Virgin be with child was speaking seemingly about the times of Isaiah, Pekah and and Remaliah but Matthew, Luke and The Creeds deal plainly with it's Messianic Fulfillment; the prophecies to earthly kings in Iaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 seem to talk about earthly kings then switch to say these kings "were in the Garden of God" and "attempted to make themselves 'Like God'" and had "fallen from heaven" from being "an Anointed Cherub, Shining One" Star of the Dawn (or Brightest Star) even "Lucifer" in some translations, to Being "cut down to earth" and "reduced" "because lifted up on account of his beauty.
With that established, there could be another rendition of "destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days, (which John said had specific regard to his body), but if we remember the rebuilding of the 2nd smaller Temple, remember that Zechariah's announce,net to Zerrubabel, which shows all kinds of revelation in the heavens especially about the Accuser and Zerubbabel (of the line of David), and Messiah, The Son of Zerubbabel, Son of David, as well as this stuff about Joshua the High Priest, which Hebrews never finishes pointing out The Messiah is the High Priest like Melchizedek, read this about Messiah, The Priest and King, The Man, The Branch, Jesus in Zechariah 6D,"…11"Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12"Then say to him, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the LORD. 13"Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."'…
Just saying there is what Vern Poythress the genius from Westminster put into words what every Spirit Filled and Intelligent student of Scripture already knew without the Term, and I suggest you read the book of the same nomenclature, there emissions what he dubbed, Symphonic Theology, or, multiple fulfillment a of different ways all occurring simultaneously, of which even humans can display in a symphonies with multiple instruments playing multiple harmonies and multiple notes and such, yet, as Mr Holland's Opus, a movie I suggest, or any other even more prominent enduring symphony, Handel or Beethoven, et cetera, show the same composition is actually played out...
Multiple fulfillment guards us from just looking at what the tuba is playing so to speak -- Remember the error of the Pharisees, Saducees, Teachers and Zealots of Jesus day, even John The Baptist, of merely looking for a "Conquering," and not a "Suffering," Messiah. 🌸🌈🌅🌌🌄🌞🌴
