You also have Ezekiel chapters 40-44 describing the new Temple that will be built after the War of Gog and Magog, which I believe will be sometime within the next 5 years – 10 years at the outside.
Uh, no, no… I really, and I mean REALLY, have to disagree with you there. I believe Saudi Arabia is a MUCH better candidate. If you read Rev 18:11-13, you’ll see every item listed there is an item presently imported into Saudi Arabia, including slaves. Although slavery was officially forbidden in 1963, there’s still a problem with employers who will hire workers from other countries (such as India or the Philippines) and then confiscating their passports so the workers can’t leave. As a major supplier of oil to the world, all the kings of the earth have drunk of her wine. As the location of Mecca and Medina, the hearts of Islam, it also has a better claim on being “drunk on the blood of the holy ones and on the blood of the witnesses to Jesus.”
Actually it is Israel, Rev 17, which the scripture also connects to the Parable of the Tenants in Matthew 21: 33 which I forgot to add earlier. It basically says the same thing. The servents(prophets and messengers) that the landowner sent to the tenants where killed, beaten, stoned exe… Then he said I will send my Son(Jesus) -38 When the tenants saw the Son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come let us kill him and acquire his inheritance’. They seized him threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Jesus came and ended up getting rejected and crucified in the place called Golgotha or as Rev 11: 18 called it between “Sodom” and “Egypt” “where indeed there Lord was crucified”.
Ezekiel 40 - 44 is the Temple that is to be built in the Eternal Kingdom. The temple that that the AC has to stand in is a 3rd rebuild of the Temple.
Ezekiel 38 and 39 refer to the battle after the 1000 year rain in detail. Rev 20: 7 " when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, God and Magog, to gather them for battle. Ezekiel 38: The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes— many peoples are with you.
7 "Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. 9 You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
