IT'S TIME ONCE MORE TO SEE HOW THEY DO, THESE PROTESTANT PROPHETS FROM TIM-BUCK-TOO. THE JEWS TO BUILD A TEMPLE IT'S TRUE, BUT HOW CAN THAT BE, FOR IN THE RAPTURE THEY FLEW. GOD GAVE THEM THE SPIRIT IN EZEKIEL 39:29, SO IF THIS WAR DID ALREADY HAPPEN AS THEY SAY THAT IS TRUE, OFF TO HEAVEN WITH THE SAINTS....OH DEAR WHAT THEY SAY NEXT IS JUST POO-DIDILY-DOO!!!
END TIMES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER #3

WE COME TO ONE OF THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD AND FALSE DOCTRINES OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PROTESTANT PROPHETS - Keith Hunt
The Beginning of the Tribulation: The Temple and Signs of the End
IN THIS CHAPTER
The Jewish Temple Is Rebuilt
The Signs of the Times
The Jewish Temple Is Rebuilt
The temple has long played a prominent role in Jewish history. In fact, Israel has had three different temples.
The First Temple
David wanted to build the first temple for God, though it was not to happen, for David was disqualified for being a warrior. His son Solomon eventually built the temple (1 Kings 6—7; 2 Chronicles 3—4).
Like the tabernacle, Solomons temple had a Holy Place and a Most Holy Place. The Holy Place (the main outer room) contained the golden incense altar, the table of showbread, five pairs of lamp-stands, and utensils used for sacrifice. Double doors led to the Holy of Hohes, in which was found the ark of the covenant. The ark rested between two wooden cherubim angels, each standing ten feet tall. God manifested Himself in the Holy of Holies in a cloud of glory (1 Kings 8:10-11).
(This temple—the heart and center of worship for the kingdom of Judah—was eventually destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians in 587 B C. (586 B.C. to be exact - Keith Hunt)
The Second Temple
Following the Babylonian exile, many Jews returned to Jerusalem and constructed a smaller, leaner version of Solomons temple. King Cyrus of Persia had allowed them to return and rebuild the temple, and he sent along the temple vessels Nebuchadnezzar had looted.
The returned exiles started out well in 538 BC but soon ran out of steam. The prophets Haggai and Zechariah worked hard to encourage them, and the second temple was finally completed in 515 BC. However, it was not nearly as magnificent as Solomons temple (see Ezra 3:12). It had little of its former glory and was a dim reflection of the original. This temple was without the ark of the covenant and had only one seven-branched lampstand. The ark and Solomons ten lampstands were never recovered. This temple lasted about 500 years.
The Third Temple
Israel's third temple in Jerusalem was built by King Herod the Great. Herod believed this ambitious building program, which he began in 19 BC, would be a great way to earn favor with the Jews of his time (that is, his subjects) and impress the Roman authorities.
Completed in AD 6A, it was much larger and more resplendent (with more gold) than Solomons temple. It was an enormous, cream-colored structure that shone exceedingly bright during the day. It measured 490 yards (north to south) by 325 yards (east to west).
This magnificent temple was destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by Titus and his Roman warriors in AD 70—a mere six years after the project was completed. How ironic that those Herod sought to impress in Rome were the instigators of the temples destruction.
(WRONG IN THAT NOT ALL OF THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED; THE PRESENT "WAILING WALL" STANDING TODAY, WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL HEROD'S TEMPLE. THIS WALL WILL YET COME DOWN AT THE TIME OF THE END AND SO FULFIL JESUS' WORDS OF NOT ONE STONE WILL BE LEFT ON ANOTHER; IT WAS NOT FULFILLED IN 70 AD - Keith Hunt)
The Tribulation Temple
Scripture reveals that yet another temple will be built during the tribulation period. In terms of prophetic chronology, there are a number of important factors.
(THERE IS NO BIBLE PROPHECY THAT STATES SUCH A THINGS AS ANOTHER TEMPLE BEFORE THE MESSIAH COMES AGAIN; THE IDEA COMES ABOUT BY FALSE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME VERSES, AND READING INTO OTHER VERSES THINGS JUST NOT THERE AT ALL, AS WELL AS NOT SEARCHING DEEP ENOUGH INTO THE SCRIPTURES, WHICH I HAVE DONE AND GIVEN YOU ON MY WEBSITE - Keith Hunt)
First and foremost is the prerequisite that Israel be back in her homelandas a nation. This has been a reality since 1948. The Jews have been streaming back to the holy land from around the world ever since (see Ezekiel 36—37).
(A WRONG UNDERSTANDING OF EZ 36-37; THE PROPHECY HERE IS THE SAME AS ISAIAH 11....A REGATHERING OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH, [AFTER THEY HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY AT THE END TIME] WHEN JESUS RETURNS AND NOT BEFORE - Keith Hunt)
Obviously the Jewish temple cannot be rebuilt unless a reborn nation of Israel is in the land.
(THE AUTHOR AND OTHERS DO NOT TELL YOU THAT THE ORTHODOX JEWS TEACH, ONLY THE MESSIAH CAN BUILD THE NEXT TEMPLE - Keith Hunt)
Second, we know that the temple must be rebuilt at least by the middle of the seven-year tribulation because Jesus in the Olivet discourse warned of a catastrophic event that assumes the existence of the temple: "When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains" (Matthew 24:15-16). This abomination of desolation is the desecration of the Jewish temple by the antichrist, who will set up an image of himself within the temple at the midpoint of the tribulation. The temple must be built by this time.
(FALSE ONCE MORE! THE AUTHOR TELLS YOU WHAT HE AND OTHERS THINK THIS MEANS, BUT NOTICE NO SCRIPTURES ARE GIVEN TO BACK UP THIS TEACHING; THE TEACHING COMES FROM MISUNDERSTANDING AND A WRONG INTERPRETATION OF DANIEL 9:27. THE BIBLE INTERPRETS ITSELF. IT WAS LUKE WHO WAS INSPIRED TO GIVE THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS PROPHECY....."WHEN YOU SEE JERUSALEM SURROUND BY ARMIES, KNOW THAT THE DESOLATION IS AT HAND [LUKE 21]. THE DESOLATION WILL BE BY THE ARMIES OF THE "KING OF THE NORTH" MOVING INTO AND AROUND JERUSALEM [DANIEL 11:45 AND INTO CHAPTER 12]. IT WILL BE A DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM BY AN ABOMINATION OF A RESURRECTED HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE FROM EUROPE. NOW THAT IS THE BILE INTERPRETING - Keith Hunt)
It is significant that Jesus says this because just previously (in verses' 1-2), He positively affirmed that the great temple built by Herod (the Jewish temple of Jesuss day) would be utterly destroyed: "Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that -not be thrown down." This prophecy was literally fulfilled in AD 70 when Titus and his Roman warriors overran Jerusalem and the Jewish temple.
(NO IT WAS NOT; THE WAILING WALL OF TODAY WAS PART OF THAT TEMPLE; IT WAS THE OUTER WALL; THE FIRST COURT YARD WAS WHERE PEOPLE SOLD ANIMALS FOR SACRIFICE....A BUSINESS OF GREED AND PROFIT WAS DONE.....JESUS ON TWO OCCASIONS TURNED OUT THE MONEY CHANGES, FOR MAKING THE HOUISE OF GOD, A DEN OF THIEVES AND ROBBERS - SO PROVING THIS AREA WAS CONSIDERED BY JESUS AS PART OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD - Keith Hunt)
The only possible conclusion is that the temple of Jesuss day would be destroyed and that the abomination of desolation would occur in a yet-future temple. This latter temple would be built at least by the middle of the tribulation period (see also Daniel 9:27; 12:11).
(NO, THE TEMPLE OF HEROD WAS NOT FULLY DESTROYED, THE PROPHECY IS YET FOR THE FUTURE; AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY MIDDLE OF ANY PERIOD - Keith Hunt)
Jewish Sacrifices Reinstated
Scripture is clear that there will be animal sacrifices in the Jewish temple sometime during the first half of the tribulation, but then the antichrist will stop them. We read in Daniel 9:27 that the antichrist "shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering." This "week" refers to the seven-year tribulation period that precedes the second corning of Christ. For half of the week—that is, the last three and a half years—sacrifices in the temple will cease. John F. Walvoord explains it this way:
This expression ["for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering"] refers to the entire Levitical system, which suggests that Israel will have restored that system in the first half of the 70th seven. After this ruler gains worldwide political power, he will assume power in the religious realm as well and will cause the world to worship him (2 Thes. 2:4; Rev. 13:8). To receive such worship, he will terminate all organized religions. Posing as the world's rightful king and god and as Israel's prince of peace, he will then turn against Israel and become her destroyer.
(WRONG ON EVER COUNT: THERE WILL BE NO RESTORING OF ANIMAL SACRIFICES BEFORE JESUS RETURNS, AND CERTAINLY NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD. THE JEWS ACCORDING THE PRESENTATION OF EX. 38/39 ALREADY GIVEN, WILL RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIIT POUR OUT ON THEM [EZ/39:29] AND SO ACCORDING TO THIS GUY AND OTHERS, THEY WILL BE IN THE [SECRET] RAPTURE. THE LEADER WILL NEVER GAIN WORLD-WIDE RULERSHIP - Keith Hunt)
Preparations in the Present Day
Even today we hear reports that various Jewish individuals and groups have been working behind the scenes to prepare various materials for the future temple, including priestly robes, temple tapestries, and worship utensils. These items are being prefabricated so that when the temple is finally rebuilt, everything will be ready for it.
(YES AND THIS IDEA HAS BEEN GOING AROUND SINCE THE EARLY 1980s.....I READ THE ARTICLES AND BOOKS ON IT ALL. ONE ARTICLE SAID THE STONES FOR THE TEMPLE WERE AT A CERTAIN DOCK ON THE EAST COST OF THE USA, READY TO BE SHIPPED OUT.....IT NEVER HAPPENED; IT WAS A TOTAL LIE, BUT PROBABLY SOLD SOME BOOKS OR MAGAZINES - YES SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WILL DO SUCH THINGS TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES - Keith Hunt)
I reiterate that the temple does not need to be rebuilt until the midpoint of the tribulation period. This makes the fact that many items are already being prefabricated all the more exciting to many prophecy enthusiasts. The day of the rapture may be drawing near.
..........
THE TEMPLE WILL NOT BE REBUILT. MANY ARTICLES GO INTO DETAIL PROVING THIS POINT ON MY WEBSITE. AND AS THE JEWS WILL HAVE GOD'S SPIRIT POURED OUT ON THEM [EZ.39:27), THERE WILL BE NO JEWS AROUND AS THEY WILL BE IN THE "SECRET" RAPTURE SOMEWHERE.

END TIMES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER #4
by Ron Rhodes
The Signs of the Times
A "sign of the times" is an event of prophetic significance that points to the end times. We might say that the signs of the times in the pages of prophetic Scripture constitute Gods "intel in advance" regarding what the world will look like as we enter the end times.
We are specifically instructed that certain signs will take place as the tribulation period unfolds. In Matthew 24:3, the disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" In verses 4 and following, Jesus mentions a number of signs of the times that will predominate during the tribulation period (just prior to the second coming).
(BUT WHY BE SO CONCERNED IF THE SAINTS WILL DISAPPEAR IN A SECRET RAPTURE BEFORE ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE ON EARTH. AND WE WOULD OBSERVE THE PREDOMINATE WHATEVERS GOING ON THE EARTH WHILE WE ARE SAFE IN HEAVEN. SO DOES IT REALLY MATTER ABOUT KNOWING ANYTHING IF AT ANY SECOND CHRIST COMES FOR THE SAINTS, INVISIBLY, SECRETLY, TO HAVE THEM DISAPPEAR FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN. WITH THE SECRET RAPTURE TEACHING, KNOWING ANY SIGNS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE - Keith Hunt)
Jesus urged His followers to be thoughtful observers of the times. He gave the Sadducees and Pharisees, who rejected Him as the divine Messiah, this challenge: "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' And in the morning, It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times" (Matthew 16:1-3).
(BUT ACCORDING TO THE SECRET RAPTURE TEACHING, THAT COULD TAKE PLACE ANY SECOND, KNOWING SIGNS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE - Keith Hunt)
These Jewish leaders were supposedly expert interpreters of the Old Testament Scriptures. In such messianic passages as Isaiah 11 and 35, we are told that when the Messiah came, the lame would walk, the deaf would hear, and the blind would see. When Jesus came on the scene, this is precisely what happened. These Jewish leaders should have been able to read the signs of the times and recognize that Jesus indeed was the promised Messiah. But they could not.
The lesson we learn from this is that you and I are called by Jesus to be thoughtful observers of the times. We are to be aware of what biblical prophecy teaches and then to keep a close eye on unfolding events in the world so that we become aware of any possible correlation between world events and biblical prophecy.
(WHY SHOULD WE BE BOTHERED TO KNOW ANY PROPHETIC EVENTS, FOR IF CHRIST CAN COME ANY SECOND IN A SECRET RAPTURE TO TAKE THE SAINTS TO HEAVEN, WE NEED NOT BE BOTHERED ABOUT HAVING TO LOOK FOR ANY SIGNS. DO YOU BEGIN TO SEE HOW SILLY AND STUPID, AND HOW CONTRADICTORY THE FUNDAMENTAL PROTESTANT PROPHETS ARE? Keith Hunt)
We are never to set dates (Matthew 24:36)—we do not know the specific day or hour of Jesus's coming (Acts 1:7)-—-but we can know the general season of the Lord's return by virtue of the signs of the times. Jesus urged His disciples, "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door" (Matthew 24:32-33 NASB).
(AGAIN WHY, IF THE SECRET RAPTURE IS TRUE, SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT ANY SIGNS. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GOOD CHRISTIANS, SO WHEN JESUS COMES AT ANY SECOND, WE CAN GO TO HEAVEN WITH HIM - Keith Hunt)
Jesus indicates in this passage that God has revealed certain things through prophecy (particularly related to the future tribulation period) that ought to cause people who know the Bible to understand that a fulfillment of prophecy is taking place—or perhaps, in our present day, the stage is being set for a prophecy to eventually be fulfilled. Jesus is thus informing His followers to be accurate observers of the times so that when biblical prophecies are fulfilled, or the stage is being set, they will realize what is happening (see also Luke 21:25-28).
(BUT WHY SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT LOOKING AT ANY SIGNS, FOR THE SECRET RAPTURE CAN BE ANY SECOND, SO THEY TEACH - Keith Hunt)
Let us now briefly survey the signs of the times that Jesus described. I have categorized them as earth and sky signs, moral signs, religious signs, and technological signs.
Earth and Sky Signs........
..........
OH DO YOU SEE THE FOLLY OF IT ALL, FOR THE SECRET RAPTURE MAKES IT ALL A THROW AWAY BALL.
NEED NOT WORRY WHAT IS HAPPENING AT ALL, FOR IF JESUS COMES SECRETLY ANY SECOND LOOKING AT SIGNS IS REDUNDANT YOU SEE, FOR WE SHALL FLY OFF TO HEAVEN AND WITH JESUS WE WILL BE.
THEN WE SHALL ALL LOOK DOWN AND SEE, EVERYTHING UNFOLD THEN LIKE BUDS ON A TREEE.
SO SIGNS ARE NOT NEEDED NO SUR-EE, IF THE SECRET RAPTURE ANY SECOND IS TO BE.
