my question was in reference to your quote below:
The Temple was destroyed, the place where it sits, being the House of God, is the physical seat of God’s Kingdom.
We have the physical forshadowings of the spiritual types. Like the Kaaba is New Jerusalem, and Muslims occupy the Mount. The Temple itself inside New Jerusalem is God and Jesus in Revelation. All of this together is God’s Kingdom.
When Jesus said it would be given to another nation he was referring to Gentiles since they accept Jesus and Jews do not. As I’ve said Ishmael represents Gentiles.
But remember Christianity started as a Jewish sect so Islam is a truly Gentile religion started by Arabs that accepts Jesus, that’s how we get the connection to Ishmael as he was the Gentile to Isaac’s Jewishness.
Psalms 118:22-26 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Matthew 21:42-43 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
