10.1 When will the temple be rebuilt?


Since the Lord did not return to Earth after 70AD, we know that the passage in Zechariah is speaking of a future event about Jerusalem. Scripture also teaches that there will be two future temples. There is nothing in Scripture to show that the disciples considered construction of future temples. They were probably baffled Jesus said that the temple would be torn down, as the prophecies in Daniel, Zechariah and Ezekiel show a temple, where sacrifices will be taking place at the end of the age:
Daniel 9:27 - "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate."
Zechariah 14:20-21 - In that day "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the LORD of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Ezekiel 43:5 - The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple. Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. And He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name."
The disciples also did not understand the mystery of the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). They had no idea that Jesus would return to His Father for an unknown length of time and that grace and salvation would be shared with the Gentiles (Romans 11). This period is the Church Age we live in today.

The temple rededication is on Chanukkah, which is on Revelation 10 The little Scroll.
