To rebuild The Temple, we need to know the specific rules of The Temple. Even walking in the wrong part of The Temple brings God's wrath, think Nazis' faces melting off in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
God's rules for The Temple were lost with the fall of the Second Temple. It has happened before, with the fall of the First Temple. The way we get the information back is with a messiah. Messiahs are more common in Judaism than in Christianity.
Do you feel that God has sent a messiah to teach the Jewish People the laws of the Third Temple?
Jews believe in a future
Messiah (Hebrew:
Mashiach), a human descendant of King David, who will bring about the spiritual and political redemption of the Jewish people. This belief is a fundamental tenet of traditional Judaism, affirmed in Maimonides’ 13 Principles of Faith and daily prayers. The Messiah will restore Jerusalem, gather Jews from the diaspora, re-establish Jewish law, and usher in an era of global peace and universal worship of God—known as the
Messianic Age (
Olam Ha-Ba).
The
rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem is central to this vision. According to Jewish eschatology, the Messiah will rebuild the
Third Temple on the Temple Mount—site of the First and Second Temples—restoring sacrificial worship and religious courts. The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, and since then, the site has been occupied by the
Dome of the Rock and
Al-Aqsa Mosque, built in the 7th century. Mainstream Orthodox Judaism holds that the Temple cannot be rebuilt until divine providence intervenes, and it will be constructed by the Messiah, not by human initiative.
While some groups, like the
Temple Institute, prepare for the Temple’s future rebuilding, most Jews await the Messiah’s arrival. The process requires divine signs, such as the availability of the ashes of the red heifer for ritual purification, and the revelation of priestly lineage through prophecy. The
Temple Mount’s current status under Muslim control remains a major obstacle to physical reconstruction, making the rebuilding contingent on future geopolitical and spiritual developments.
