IMO, the OT prophecies concerning the temple being rebuilt was fulfilled in Ezra and Nehemiah.

That's interesting. I've never met anyone who doesn't believe there is going to be a third temple during the tribulation.. What brought you to that conclusion? Do you have any scripture to support this idea?

If you are right; how do you explain this?

"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." {2Th 2:4 KJV}

And what about all the media coverage of the plans to rebuild the temple, the Sanhedrin being reestablished, the creation and expansion of the Temple Institute and it's training of priests, the red heifers, etc...?
