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>
