The '''Third Temple''' refers to the [[eschatology|eschatological]] hope, in [[Judaism]], of the reconstruction of the Temple by the [[Messiah]] upon his coming to [[Earth]] from [[Heaven]].

Of course, [[Christianity|Christians]] believe that [[Jesus]] ''was'' the [[Messiah]], and many - like [[Augustine]] - equate the "Third Temple" with the metaphorical City of God, which endures forever.<ref>Augustine, City of God.</ref> However, this metaphorical interpretation of prophecy is very much held within [[Amillennialism]].

In 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes:
{{cquote|Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.<ref>2 Thessalonians 2:4-5, ESV.</ref>}}
This prophesy has been interpreted to mean that the Third Temple must be rebuilt before the end times so that the anti-Christ may be seated there.
