Prophecy
Various prophecies in the old and new testaments foresee the rebuilding of a Jewish temple. For example, in a letter to a Christian community in Thessalonia, Paul prophesied as follows:
| “ | Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day [the day of the Lord] 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.[1] | ” |
