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]].

Many Christians who believe in [[Premillennialism]] believe that the third temple will be rebuilt at some point in the future. Prophecy teachers such as [[Tim Lahaye]] consider that the seven year peace contract made between the [[Antichrist]] and [[Israel]], will grant the Jews the right to reconstruct the temple. Some teach that it could be built adjacent to the [[Dome of the Rock]].
