Q&A for Christians on Build The Temple

We at Build The Temple approach every question with humility, recognizing that the journey of faith is one of continuous learning and discovery. While we may not answer all of your questions, our hope is to inspire further study, reflection, and a deeper connection with God’s word. Below, we have provided responses to some of the most common questions, and we encourage each individual to seek wisdom through prayer, scripture, and thoughtful study.

Will the construction of the Third Temple a bring about the Antichrist's arrival and the end of the world?

To explore this question meaningfully, we must begin with a foundation rooted in faith, not fear. While many interpretations of the end times focus on fear and uncertainty, we are called to view these moments through the lens of trust in God’s sovereign plan.
Our faith tells us that if the Temple is to be built, it will be by God’s design—not merely by human ambition. The end times, as prophesied, are not meant to be a story of doom, but a promise of redemption. Evil may continue to resist God’s purpose, but it will never prevail. In the midst of trials, we are given the opportunity to stand firm, share our testimony, and reflect the light of Christ.

Ultimately, the restoration of God’s Kingdom is our hope. As Jesus (Yeshua) encourages us in Luke 21:8–28, we are not to be afraid, but to lift our eyes—because our redemption is drawing near.

“But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass…there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven…You will be brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony…Not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience possess your souls…And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear the expectations of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” -Luke 21:8-28 (excerpts)

“Let your hands be strong, You who have been hearing in these days the words of the prophets, Who spoke in the day the foundation was laid For the house of the Lord of hosts, That the temple might be build.” -Zechariah 8:9

What about concerns regarding the Antichrist? Won't funds be misused by the Antichrist?

When Solomon built the First Temple, he did so in obedience to God’s command, despite God's foreknowledge that it would later be desecrated by the Babylonians. Similarly, when Nehemiah and Ezra rebuilt the Second Temple, God had foreknowledge it would face defilement by Antiochus and Herod before ultimately being destroyed by Rome. Yet, these challenges did not deter the fulfillment of God's vision (Nehemiah Chapter 6).

In the same way, we are called to focus not on human corruption but on God’s divine purpose. Our mission is to be faithful in our role, trusting that God will accomplish His will through the construction of the Third Temple. Our commitment is not based on fear of what man might do, but on faith in what God has planned.

“For this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land. I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!” - Haggai 2:6-9

What is the temple?

The temple has always been a sacred place where God chooses to dwell among His people. During the Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness, God commanded Moses to construct the tabernacle—a portable sanctuary that became the heart of their worship (Exodus 25-31).

When Solomon became king, he was divinely instructed to build a permanent temple in Jerusalem, known as the First Temple (1 Kings 6; 1 Chronicles 28:6). This temple stood until its destruction by the Babylonians (2 Kings 25:8-17).

Following this, God called Ezra and Nehemiah to rebuild the temple, establishing what became known as the Second Temple. This sacred structure was central to worship during Jesus' time. However, in 70 A.D., the Romans, under General Titus, destroyed it in an attempt to scatter and annihilate the Jewish people.

The prophesied Third Temple holds great significance in both Jewish and Christian beliefs, as it is believed to be a key element in the coming of the Messiah. As prophesied in Zechariah 1:16-17, chapters 2-10, and Haggai 1-2, the rebuilding of this temple is a pivotal event, bringing unity and restoration to God's people.

Will Christians be able to go to the temple and pray?

Absolutely! The temple has always been a “House of Prayer for all Nations,” open to everyone who seeks to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is affirmed in Isaiah 56:7, 1 Kings 8:4-42, Zechariah 2:10-12; 6:15; 8:9, and Matthew 21:13. The temple is a place of divine presence, unity, and supplication, where people from all nations can draw closer to God.

Are we not already the temple of God? Why do we need a physical temple?

Yes, we wholeheartedly affirm that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit;

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” -Corinthians 6:19-20

We also recognize that the spiritual significance of our bodies as temples does not negate the importance of a physical temple. The two are not mutually exclusive. Paul himself continued to honor the temple by worshiping and making offerings, as seen in Acts 21:23-26. Furthermore, Jesus upheld the importance of the temple, attending feasts and celebrations as commanded in Leviticus 23, Luke 2:41-52, and John 7:1-52. In the future, during the millennial reign, Scripture prophesies a temple where the Messiah will rule, and offerings will be presented.

“Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, saying: “Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of the LORD” -Zechariah 6:12-13

“Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles... On that day, HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the house of the LORD will be like the sprinkling bowls before the altar. Indeed, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD of Hosts, and all who sacrifice will come and take some pots and cook in them.”- Zechariah 14:16, 20-21

Why should Christians support the construction of the Third Temple?

History reveals that the nations played a role in destroying the first two temples—Babylon destroyed the First Temple, and Rome demolished the Second Temple. As believers, we see it as our responsibility to partner with Israel in rebuilding the Third Temple as an act of reconciliation and unity. This endeavor symbolizes our commitment to stand with Israel, fostering healing and cooperation instead of division.

“Even those from afar shall come and build the temple of the LORD. Then you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.” - Zechariah 6:15

Once built, the Third Temple will be a "House of Prayer for all Nations" (Isaiah 56:7; 1 Kings 8:4-42; Zechariah 2:10-12; 6:15; 8:9; Matthew 21:13), inviting all who seek the presence of God. Additionally, prophecy indicates that this temple will serve as a place where the nations will come to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as an ultimate work of Messiah (1 Kings 8:43; Jeremiah 31:34; Haggai 2:6-9; Hebrews 8:11).

The Third Temple will also serve as a gathering place for God's people from every corner of the earth (1 Kings 8:46-53), signifying divine unity and restoration.

From whom does Build The Temple seek donations?

Build The Temple seeks to partner with members of the Christian community who feel a deep calling to stand alongside the Jewish people in the sacred mission of building a house where God’s presence may dwell among His people and where the Messiah will bring peace to the world.

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” -Isaiah 9:6

We believe that every contribution should be led by the Holy Spirit, with a heart committed to seeing this divine vision fulfilled. We recognize that not everyone is called to give, and we honor that. Our desire is that all donations be given as a free will offering and joyfully, as an act of faith.

“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.”- Exodus 25:1
