Then just what Temple were YOU referring to in; "The State of Israel will soon build another Jewish Temple, that is self evident."
Certainly not "New Jerusalem" right? then just how and where does your "self evident" next "Jewish Temple" fit within your scheme?
Your attempts at evasion are not making any sense.

edited to add; "New Jerusalem" is not what I inquired of you about, The question concerned "the Temple described in Ezekiel 40-48 "
Please address the subject of the Temple which is described in Ezekiel 40-48.
Perhaps if you would take a little time out of posting to actually study your bible, you would realise that the Temple description given in Ezekiel 40-48 is unique and does not fit the description of any past Temple built or known of.

You're delusional. Or just flat out stubborn.

You want to talk about the millenium? ok, let's talk about it.

Revelation 20 describes the 1000 years reign. Satan is bound for 1000 years at the beginning of the chapter. As we read along, verse 7 tells us Satan will be released at the end of the 1000 years. Why? Who knows, except for the fact that if he wasn't it wouldn't make for a good, classical myth.

So the Devil is released and what does he do? He gathers the nations of gog and magog for battle against Jerusalem (verses 7-9).

But wait.. Ezekiel already describes gog/magog waging battle against Jerusalem where God rains fire on them (Ezekiel 39:6).

Are you going to tell us that the armies of gog and magog will have two separate assaults on Israel? Really? And God destroys them with fire both times?

Because according to your "millenium" reign, the final battle of gog/magog where Satan joins the fight against Jerusalem comes AFTER the 1000 year reign of Christ. This is because Satan isn't released to gather the nations of gog and magog until after the millenium.

What does Ezekiel's temple have to do with the millenium? According to Ezekiel (and Revelation), this temple isn't built until after the end of the millenium. After Satan is destroyed. But apparently sin still isn't destroyed at that time.

Britain broke its word to everyone. However, the Jews were not promised Transjordan.

They didn't.

They don't.

History - don't be afraid of it; you might actually learn something.
Might.

1. Lack of recognition is not hostility.

2. You want the UN to recognize Buddha and Muhammad also? Or just the gods you happen to favor?

1. After-the-fact rationalization.
2. There was no "Medo-Persia".

1. Why should they?
2. You're the one claiming they didn't anyhow - got proof for that?

Thieves often have to fight to keep stolen goods; nothing unusual there.

It seems to me, this is a play on words. "this temple" refers to Jesus' body, not the physical temple made out of stones. There are other places where the character of Jesus uses intentionally misleading language like this, such as when he says to Peter "upon this stone I will build my church".

IMHO, the temple had already been destroyed by the time Mark was written.
