The temple in Jerusalem was the center of worship and national identity in ancient Israel. The people of Israel have built two temples to God in Jerusalem, and both have been destroyed- the first by the Babylonians, and the second by the Romans. But it seems as if the Bible suggests that there will be a third temple in Jerusalem.

The desire for the Third Temple is sacred in Judaism, and particularly in Orthodox Judaism. The Hebrew Bible holds that Jewish prophets called for its construction to be fulfilled prior to, or in tandem with, the Messianic Age. This building of the Third Temple also plays a major role in some interpretations of Christian eschatology.

In other words, some Christians believe that Jesus isn’t coming back until a 3rd temple is built in Jerusalem.

But is that temple…literal? Or symbolic? If the temple is rebuilt, does that mean that the return of Christ is right around the corner?
