Hi everybody! I want to remind everyone to join our DRMSH exclusive community. We are going to have tons of exclusive content like weekly live sessions, protected articles, and more. So, sign up now! community.drmsh.com/
I wish that the Logos bible software teaching sessions on Biblical Interpretation by Dr. Heiser were available to share on RUclips. I have access to all his courses but I wish it was accessible to share with people, it is so important.
There already is a temple there. It already defies Yahweh as it is called "Dome of the Rock" and is for Allah. There will come a man who declares himself to be that god raised above all other gods or objects of worship and they shall fall never to rise again (Amos 8:14) for enemies be made footstools (Psalms 110:1) and their ash forms shall be abhorrence unto all flesh (Isaiah 66:24).
Read Acts 7:53, Gal.3:19 and Hebrews 2:2 and Exodus 20:1-22, Deut. 4:9-13 ,Deut. 4:32-36 and Deut.5:4-24. Please read it carefully and find out who is wrong and who is right. Explain the difference between them , you will know the truth.
So many preachers put forth the physical third temple teaching during tribulations. You encouraged me to study and verify everything for myself. Coming from a Southern Baptist upbringing I determined so much I believed was not based on scripture but what the preacher shouted from the pulpit ( I despise a screaming preacher) Thanks for all you do and share with us and for Father’s Kingdom and Glory. Get well soon Dr Mike Sir.
In order to understand the end time prophecy properly, one must study the Millennium and the final New Heaven and New earth in details. Ezekiel 40-48 is talking about in details of Christ Reign on earth with his saints during Millennium, Rev 20. Rev 21 is talking about ETERNAL heaven & earth without the temple, no offerings, no sea, no death, no evil, no need of sun & Moon(no more Sabbath observance or seasons) & etc... after the final judgement. It says God and Jesus is our temple. Jeremiah 33 says all nation on EARTH will bring offering on earth and praise one true God. In entire human history, there has NOT been a time when all the nation on earth brought offerings and sacrifices to one true God. Its referring to the Millennium. Zachariah 14, says the similar message that ALL THE NATIONS shall go up year after year to worship the King & keep the feast of Booth. During Millennium, there will be Sabbath, Passover with sacrifices (as memorial only), Feast of booth will be observed. Therefore, the temple is required. Its not a big relevant point that the temple does not have roof, therefore it must be symbolic? 😫😫😫 Other holy days are not observed since it was fulfilled. The feast of booth represent the Millennium & Observance of Passover continuously teach people bout the sacrifice of the son of God redeeming human race from the death caused by the sins. Its memorial only like we observe the Lord's table as memorial. The 7 God's appointed holy days are good study to understand the future prophecy. Jesus fulfilled all the spring festival at the 1st coming. Jesus will fulfilled the fall festivals at the 2nd coming. God's appointed days are not Jewish holy days. It was given to the Israelites to keep it for time being. God's holy days are his plan of Salvation for the world. Its bad Hermeneutic when you develop believes based on a few scriptures then run into a opposing texts. Instead of asking God to teach you or probe further, you explain away by overly spiritualizing the the opposing texts and tell people it must be symbolic
All eschatology is based on presuppositions that are based on various interpretations. If you believe in a Rapture, then the body of Christ is gone and a new temple has to be created so that 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (Temple of God): can be fulfilled: “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. If you counter that there's no rapture, you still have to contend with the verse showing that the Antichrist is sitting in the temple.
Thank you for your incredible body of work, Dr. Heiser. Standing in agreement with the others here in praying for your complete healing and restoration in Jesus’ name.
@AMMAR NADEEM This is called “encouragement”, something we Christians are called to do for each other. What religion do you follow which compels your troll behavior?

Brother, just discovered you as someone requested prayer for your illness. Please look into the Gerson Therapy before receiving chemo. Gerson has a cure rate of 87% for those who don’t undergo chemo, even among those with late stage/metastasized cancers. Praying for you and your family.
Sounds sketchy. I trust in God and believe in the power of blood, and in modern medicine, but not in charlatans that say they have a miraculous cure that no one else has.
@@RUT812 The Gerson therapy has been proven, and has cured many people who were given up by pharmacuetical M.D.’s as incurable. It has a greater than 85% success rate with people who stick with it. Eating clean, natural, unprocessed foods and nutrient dense juicing is hardly “quackery”…and our Creator gave us the plants bearing seed as food in the beginning. If you actually looked into the history of Doctor Gersons’ work you might have a bit more respect for him. I absolutely agree that God is out Healer, and we all should seek Him above all else for our health and wellness in Spirit, Soul, and body.
Jesus warned against the abomination of desolation from Daniel at the temple and said there will be great tribulation at that time. Paul said the man of sin will sit in the temple and declare himself God. Israel shall built temple, and I believe that will be the sign that the end is near.
Yet it could well be that that temple is the religious institution, or the delusion prophesied. It is possible that the delusion is about invading the Church. The Enemy will deceive our modern Churches and they will gladly accept him. Only those who watch and listen can understand. It is just a thought.
Dude the abomination of desolation already happened. The greeks literally sacrificed swine on the altar and set up their mount olympus gods in the temple
Can Satan set himself up as God in the Temple of our bodies? I believe he is doing that right now with his nanobots, graphene oxide and AI. YHVH is in our DNA. So why are they tampering with our DNA through mRNA and epigenetics?
Praying for you Dr. Heiser. My son who is now 28 and myself were very sick nearly died in 2008. Son had h-pylori bacteria and i food poisoning. they were frightening times. Our digestions shut down due to infections. We experienced complete healing. I am believing for your complete healing now.
I do believe the Bible teaches us that the man of sin known as the anti christ will sit in the temple in Jerusalem God tells us this in His Word and glory to God becs we know alrdy who will reign in the end our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ hallelujah
No the man of sin already sits in his temple. To you it’s a parable. He’s been here his temple is already built. Did you hear. There is a whole lot he is not telling you people.😵💫🧐
@@jeffperkins1351 .....the "man of sin" is YOU....and me, and every "human" . It is "Adam" , our "outer man"...our "flesh". Everything in prophetic scripture is a "parable" of sorts. All the confusion is because the carnal mind reads and interprets the scriptures literally and physically. When they are meant to reveal SPIRITUAL TRUTH .
@@TheWhyIsThatSo “And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”” Daniel 9:26-27 ESV The rest of it this prophecy literally happened. Why would the part that has yet to be fulfilled suddenly be figurative?
@@TheWhyIsThatSo “week” means a heptad, a group of 7. In the same way dozen means a group of 12. 62 periods of 7 years occurred from Ataxerxes’ decree. The one remaining “week” is the last 7 years of this present age, also known as the Great Tribulation. John also uses the same phraseology in Revelation in describing the last seven years. So to answer your question, yes, literal.
"Will the Jewish people love a 45 year old, catholic, polish women as their Jewish Messiah" That's how I already revealed myself back in October. My name is MAGDALENA this time. If that's not enough proof that JESUS was a Messiah then there is another one. Everything God showed me and told me happened outside. GOD IS NOT INSIDE THE CHURCHES. MY TEMPLE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHURCHES. TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW😥🙏🕊🕊🕊
Your view on the end times is based off how strict your hermeneutics are. The stricter the hermeneutics the more literal you take scripture and the looser the hermeneutics the more you will allegorize the scripture. I believe allegorizing scripture is a very slippery slope and is a license to invent. Of course there are multiple figures of speech in the Bible but I believe that God says what He means and means what He says. I believe the more you study sculpture and mature in Gods word the stricter your hermeneutics becomes. Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. God bless you all on your search through the amazing, infallible Word of God!
Even the Israelites acknowledge the 4 levels of scripture. God's ways are higher than our ways. It is only the Holy Spirit that leads us into Truth. Line upon line, precept upon precept leads to stumbling and falling backwards. "To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." Isaiah 28:12-13 KJV
@@CarolJamieson I 100% believe there are multiple levels of application , but to start with allegory and create a doctrine, is not the way you should start. I believe you should start with the literal and look elsewhere in the scriptures to confirm it is so , and go from there.
Good exegesis makes the differences clear. There is both allegorical and literal meaning in the scriptures, sometimes combined together. I don't have the knowledge of Greek or of the cultural meaning of certain terms in certain times and places that many good pastors and other Christians more blessed in this gift/knowledge than I, but I find listening to John Macarthur, John Piper, RC Sproul and others to be helpful as they are painstakingly careful and extremely gifted in their exegesis. I read my Bible to develop my own understanding as well, and do not rely on men alone, but these men of God and others like them really help what is sometimes confusing to make a lot more sense through their sound exegesis. May there be many blessings to you from God above. In His Love we stand together x
Oh My children how I long for you to know Me; Oh My children, My precious little ones, My light have I placed inside you. With this light, I reveal Myself to you.

I know everything about you. I Am He who stitched you together in your mothers womb. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I give you purpose and meaning, as you fulfill My purpose and meaning. The flower blooms for My pleasure. The tree groweth by the nurturing of My Hand. I count the hairs upon your head daily, your name have I engraved upon My own hand. My children, I have sent to you My Son that through Him you might know Me. He represents all My love for you. My written Word became flesh. I stepped down from My House, to teach you of My Great Love for you. Everything in My life represents every aspect of what you My children would endure in this life, in every profound way. My life reaches out to the lost sheep of My flock. I call out to you my children " Come Hither unto Me ". Thy path have I made straight. I know you will stumble, I know you will fall, but I Am here with you always, never leaving you alone. I Am the Hand reaching out from the Light. The Holy Gift of Grace, the life laid down that you might live. Oh My children, I placed you in My garden, I walked and talked with you daily. And you knew Me. A thief came in the night and stole you away from Me, and your bright nature was lost. So I wrapped you in the garment of flesh, you passed through the vail of forgetfulness. You were put into the great torment of the winepress. My children, this is done out of My Great Lovingkindness. All are appointed once to die and all My children they did cry, but through My Son the Work is Done. Do not be fearful My little ones, for you are in the palms of My Hands, My Will is fulfilled in you. My Father who art in Heaven, Thy Righteous Son is Thy Faithfulness, for He is Thy Righteous Right Arm, plunging into the depths of the darkness, the saving hand of Grace and Mercy. It is You Blessed Father who saves, it is You Merciful Father who wrapped Yourself in the flesh and none could see. Thy Lovingkindness fulfilleth all things. My Father is Holy, He covers me on every side. There is none who can touch me. For I am His. My Father Poureth out wisdom upon the meek, the humble, the broken hearted. Thy faithfulness is upon Your beloved, for Thou restoreth the broken-hearted. In Thee Oh Father we trust, in Thee Oh Father we love, in Thee Oh Father, flowing rivers of Living Water. Thy blessings raineth down upon me in Thy secret places Oh Father, and none will see as it is for me and Thee Oh Gracious, ever loving Father. To each are You revealed in Your own ways, crafting each one to Your purpose, forming my inward parts. As a song, Thee unto me and me unto Thee, Oh sweet melody. Lean not upon thine own understanding, for My ways are above your ways sayeth The Lord. Trust in Me, for you have passed through the vail of forgetfulness to fulfill My purpose. I alone know the beginning and the end. You My children have upon you my Seal, with seeking My Face, you will come to remembrance, for you are set apart, not one will be plucked from My Hand. You shall speak My Words, and My Word shall flow from your mouth. Do not become weary, for I Am with you always. Leaving His Holy Mountain, laying down His Great Power, passing through the vail of forgetfulness, putting on the garment of flesh, to become meek, lowly, that He would break the curse of sin and death through His promise proclaimed from the beginning. IT IS FINISHED He proclaimed and giving up the ghost, He raising up after three days, by His Power, ascending to the right hand of the Father, He sent to us the HolySpirit, for now the way has been paved. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise be to our King, Mighty is He, long suffering, all forgiving. Men tracked Him down not knowing they were answering His call. Taking Him captive to silence His cause in turn rang out His voice for generations to come. Men hung their King on a tree unaware that in this they opened the gates for His Glory to come in. Believing they pinned Him into a corner did not understand they were bringing the world to His feet. In all of this men unknowingly fulfilled every word of the scriptures spoken through the Most High God. All of us are a part of this fallen world, it is full of evil and darkness. All things that are good in this place only comes from above, the Mercies of God. The Most Holy God holds no one from His Mercies. Through Jesus making Himself a sacrifice brought the Mercies of God to all His children who had fallen away unto death. The Spirit of the Living God dwells within you. An amber, a Spark ready to be fanned into an ever burning flame. Come to The Lord Jesus Christ, for in Him is life. He is the way, the truth and the life. He is The Way. The Door. The Door to life everlasting. Praise be to His Name for ever and ever... God bless you my brother.
Prayers to you and your family Dr. Heiser in this time of trial, may the Lord bless you and I pray He can bring peace, joy, and healing to your life. Amen.
I've often wondered if WE aren't the 'new temple' under the 'new covenant', but still believe a physical 3rd temple will be built as a sign of imminent end times.
We are the 3rd temple and this thingy they are pushing into every man woman and child alters your god given D*N*A same as in the days of Noah so Satan is entering the temple with this thingy
YES YES YESSSSSSS!!! Thank you! Let them build whatever they want for the Anti-Christ, MY Jesus is King in His temple, my body and the Bride of Christ/Body of Christ!
@@Hanak-EL Doesn't say it in Sports Illustrated either. It's in the New Testament. Check it out. And for your information... You won't see the name "Jesus" in the Old Testament either. Even though he is refered and mentioned to.
Then how is the son of perdition going to sit in this temple and declare himself god? He can't sit in the hearts and minds of believers who are sealed with the Holy Spirit
Poppy Ozark, Some say, because our bodies are considered a temple of God, so thats how they justify there not needing to be a actual 3rd temple built. However I'm not sure you can consider a persons body being like a temple of God if the Holy Spirit isn't dwelling in them, and clearly the Holy Spirit isn't dwelling in the antichrist. Now I suppose its possible that standing in the temple of God, could mean the antichrist standing in Jerusalem, claiming to be God, so that could be a possibility, I suppose. I've just always figured a 3rd temple will be built, when the Jews start up the daily sacrifice once again during the start of Daniels 70th week. Yet there has been talks by Jews saying they technically don't need to build a temple to start up the daily sacrifice. So I guess will just have to wait and see, this is one part of prophecy that were going to just have to wait to see how it unfolds to know for sure. But thats not going to stop some from trying to act like they know all, lol.

@Zero Flecks I think cut off sacrifices is cutting off our repentance ( ie ) trying to do what our Lord asked of us. We will by into sin does not exist hence we will not need a Savior ( ie ) Jesus Christ. Ths just came to me when I read your comment
@Zero Flecks Daniel 9 was already fulfilled and it has nothing to do with some anti christ. The greeks and romans destroyed the temple already. When the new temple is built it will never again be destroyed
I guess my question would be, "If we're the temple it's referring to, what/where is the temple where the anti-christ performs the abomination of desolation at the mid-tribulation point?" There would have to be another physically-built temple for him to do this in no?
My guess is that he would be similar to postmillenials (like me). All of that already happened in AD 70. Also John says there where many antichrists, antichrists are anyone that is against Christ.
1 John 2:22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist
Perhaps jpfiero has a point, maybe the temple being defiled is our souls, as in, the spirit of what people believe. It says that beware and run if the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. What would be the holy place? Perhaps it's where people keep their image of God, maybe it's the identity of the people? If so, then all of this about lgbt, atheism and opposition to christianity in general being adopted, becoming the identity of many people, perhaps that is the abomination of desolation, when mankind becomes largely opposed to God and whose image of God, and the holy place that contains it, the individual identity, become inhabited by the spirit of the antichrist, the abomination. Take my suggestion with a grain of salt though, it might be my way of rationalizing the recent events as basically this. The abomination has been there for some time. Alternate interpretation of the holy place could be the fragmented yet united church of God, speaking of the antichrist corruption that festers in the Catholic Church, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
@@ceasedesist9676 I have heard this theory before. It is worth keeping in mind as we see more and more Christians abandon sound doctrine of the scriptures.
Normally I very much agree with things you say, I will however note that Ezekiel seems to go on for quite some time about the dimensions of the 3rd temple (with dimensions that fit neither Solomon's temple or Herod's) I think the idea of it "not having a roof" can be answered quite easily in that the roof is assumed. So though I think you mention some good points, there is certainly a physical temple which will be built with a physical throne. I would like to see the answer as to what the different dimensions mean if this is just about the body of Christ.
There will be no need for a roof because the new temple will be in new Jerusalem, the bride of Christ which is the bridge between earth and Heaven in the millennial reign, there will be nothing that could possibly defile it. A lot of what this guy says is devoid of understanding.
@@888WulfDog888 It is very unlikely a prophet would go on for 9 chapters (not written in chapter sections but you get the point) for some ultimately irrelevant metaphor that could be equally easily be summed up with "the temple will be built" instead of God being a God of confusion and adding unnecessary details, measurements, and temple ordinances. You still yet to answer what the numbers mean if it's not literal measurements.
correct but this temple is clearly not meant to be built in our current era. It has a river flowing through for one thing. This structure will exist in the soon coming 1000 year reign of Christ. There will be no other temple built before Christ returns. Daniel 9:27 does not contain the hebrew word temple and this has been inferred in the NIV. Also Paul is talking metaphorically in 2 Thesallonians 2:4
Dr. Heiser, I'm praying Psalm 118:17 KJV, in Jesus Name! 17) I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Quote it over yourself daily! God bless you🙏🏻❣
I have been so blessed by your teachings and books Dr Heiser. I do have one burning question though which I hope you can answer. Has the antichrist already been and performed the abomination of desolation in the Temple? There seems to be a popular belief that a literal temple in Jerusalem (that may be different to the new Jerusalem/the church as the Temple) is required for the end times prophecies with the antichrist. Ezekiel 38&39, Daniel 8-12 all seem to require a physical temple in Jerusalem. What are your views on this?
You need the temple because it has been foretold that in the temple the lawless one who is yet to come will oppose God. Also, it could not the body of Christ since in the temple, sacrifices are being done according to Daniel 9:25-27. No one sacrifices offerings to God in the Body of Christ in a way that could be stopped by the lawless one.
the sacrifices were stopped in 70 AD, that temple was destroyed the lawless one will sit on people's NT temple - the body - through technology (injections, DNA therapy, AI, biometric devices, etc.)
@@bauboni Yep! I've been saying that for about 2 years now. That prophecy was made before the building of the 2nd Temple and it applies to that one and not some future one.
All of those objections the way I see it are easily overcome. First of all it does not state what these “sacrifices” are in the middle of the “week” the “sacrifices” in the New Testament are totally different in the New Testament and come from the heart not by sacrificing animals etc. you said “in the temple the lawless one who is yet to come will oppose God” that’s easy.. some of those “within” the temple or body of Christ will oppose God. The council did in heaven.. I don’t believe in “once saved always saved” the Bible clearly makes a case for that that one can indeed choose to walk away from God once saved. Yes He never leaves or forsakes us but we sure can choose to leave and forsake Him. Who are those that Jesus says “I never knew you”? And the last thing is you said “no one sacrifices offerings in the body of Christ that could be stopped by the enemy” well I submit this… look at the majority of the western churches sacrifices today… pretty much idol worship and entertainment focused.. seems the enemy is doing a pretty good job even before the great tribulation in opposing God within the “temple” to me. So I agree with Dr. Heiser and would have to say that within the “temple” the enemy will rise up! Yes within the “body of Christ”.. we still have free will when saved. We’re not “forced” to stay saved if we for some reason choose not to.. trust me.. the enemy will come from “within” just like Judas was “within”.. he walked, talked, slept by Jesus, ate with him, laughed with Him.. etc. and still denied him and gave Him over to be killed. Again I don’t think those objections are hurdles what so ever.
Anyone who has the opinion that the third temple doesn't need to physically exist does not know their scripture. The scriptures clearly state that the earthly temple is a copy of what is in heaven; just like the Ark of the covenant seen in said temple in Revelation 11:19. Other things point to a physical nature as well, with John being tasked to measure the temple, in the book of Revelation as well. Furthermore, in Mathew 24:15, when Christ mentions the 'abomination of desolation', he is directly referring to Antiochus Epiphanes sacrilegious sacrifice of a pig, to zeus, in the temple. Lastly, Daniel 9:27, clearly states that in the middle of the last week of Daniel, the beginning of the tribulation, that oblation in the Temple will cease. And if you look at the Septuagint of Daniel 9:27, the exact language used is 'and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away'. In conclusion, there is no way to rectify what this man is saying Biblically and it is false doctrine.
I like Dr Heiser inside on the bible, but I disagree with him in this point. There is a literal millennium and a temple coming, even if it sound crazy just as a literal nation of Israel to all scholars prior to 1948.
It also presents a grand problem for *Matthew 24* which ties to what Paul speaks of in *2 Thess Ch. 2:4=* "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" = *This is known as the Abomination. What a lot of people look over when they scan through this Scripture because they've read it a zillion times is that 1. Obviously this is a physical temple but 2. And less obvious for western Christians is that among the Temple furnishings there is NO SEAT. The Abomination here is that he SITS in the place of not only the Priests but the HIGH PRIEST who is Jesus SEATED at the Right Hand of God and ALSO in the place of GOD who sat down and rested from ALL of HIS WORKS from beginning of Creation. This is the ULTIMATE slap in the face of God and answers in a more extreme way what Jesus did when he went to the seat of Baal and said 'Upon this rock Ill build my church.' This was and is a physical place with both a natural and spiritual history*
@@thetruthchannel349 we have the Olivet discourse & Thess texts textual & historical context (that coincide) of the then 2nd temples destruction & The Abomination of Desolation just as Messiah Jesus Prophesied, & it all happened on point as He said, that generation did not pass away until those things took place. Scripture was not written to us, but for us to apply as believers, live peaceful God fearing, gracious love abounding lives, glorifying the Lord of glory until He returns to put all things to right, as we are partakers of the divine nature, participants in the Son of Gods Kingdom. 1Pet2:5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ
@@J-PLeigh8409 *you're tossing so many things together that don't really go together Id have to strain to find a loose end I could get a hold of to even respond to that.*
@@thetruthchannel349 they can absolutely go together but its not that you have to respond, I was just commenting on your response, but if it helps, Christ prophesied in Olivet Discourse that all these things would take place before this (that) generation passes away, the abomination of desolation being one which for many coincides w/ 2Thess 2:4. The Peter text was to show us as the now temple of the Holy Spirit being built up
I’ve believed for a long time that the 3rd Temple is the Body of Christ. I’m not a scholar, but it just makes sense. The Spirit of God indwells His people.
The number one ingredient you need in order for a building to be a Biblical temple is the Holy Spirit. Even if the Jews rebuild a "temple" it won't have the Holy Spirit so cannot be a Biblical temple. My view is that the temple is the believers in Jesus as living stones being built into a temple.
Hes on point, & as believers I dont know why anyone would want a new temple where sin sacrifices are offered, this would be as trampling the holy blood of Christ underfoot, are once for all time spotless perfect propitiation for sin, to the praise of His majesty. We are being built up a spiritual house, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Members of the household of God, ~Eph2:20-22 built on the foundation of the apostles & prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the Cornerstone, in Whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit
I think believers take some things literal that are meant to be symbolic, like many things in the Revelation of John. They wish to see the third temple rebuilt on the temple mount because that is a sign of the end of days. No believer should be concerned about sacrifices since they (should) understand that Jesus is The Sacrifice.
@@snakejumper3277 Yeah. And some in a very Gnostic Origen sort of way take some things that are meant be literal and over spiritualize them. Finding a way to spiritualize something is stimulating, rejuvenating and makes some feel spiritual, deep and wise. Lol!
@@Hanak-EL the second temple was yet built & Ezekiel was a Prophet, prophesying about the temple. Ezk 45:22 & upon that day shall the Prince prepare for himself & for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering(No 3rd mentioned). Besides there are no more high Priests except the Son of Man the Son of God Jesus Christ, as the old order of sin sacrifice is done away & the Old Covenant Age, the New Covenant Age by the holy blood of Christ is established
@@J-PLeigh8409 That's a lie. That's not talking about the second temple because it speaks about the return of David and the restoration of all 12 tribes
Ezekiel's Temple vision includes a sacrificial system. Please explain how that fits with any post-Christ's crucifixion Temple, or even a metaphorical Temple where God and The Lamb are the Temple as it says in Revelation.
Early dispensationalists actually believed the sacrificial system would return in the millennium. The Apostles clearly said Christ was the final sacrifice for all. Who is right? Considering who came first and who came later, Christ's apostles take precedent. Sacrifices are over after the one true sacrifice. Ultimately Ezekiel cannot be a far future prophecy.
Controversial point incoming (which I will phrase as a question)... As a Christian, should you ever encourage the construction of a temple to the god of another religion (e.g. Shiva, Allah, Baphomet, Odin, Zeus or Isis)? [Personally I'd assume the answer to be 'No'.] If not, then why encourage the construction of a temple for the Jews who also worship a deity that is not Christ? Would you encourage a Muslim/Mormon/JW in their worship seeing as they have rejected the "whole fullness of God"? No? Then why encourage the Jews to worship when they have also rejected the true God? {As a heads up, I adore the work of Heiser. You're a rolemodel to me and I love your books and novels! I simply like to start interesting discussions as I live in a nation where our people are always too polite to challange one another. This post is not an attack.}
@@Hanak-EL This response confuses me I'm afraid. You may need to ellaborate. As a Christian I believe that Jesus is God, plain and simple. And I'm not totaly sure what makes you think that others and myself are in 'idolatry'. Please do explain if you can.
@@mrcarroll1386 Because nowhere did christ ever teach he was the most high. He taught us to serve the father and him alone. The fact you worship him makes it idolatry
@@mrcarroll1386 yhwh is the Most High, and although yeshua is God manifest in the flesh, and our way to the Father, the Father is still in a higher position.
" the diety that isn't christ" where do you get that idea from? The trinity comes directly from the Godhead of 2nd temple Biblical Judaism that Jesus and Paul taught. See, Heiser's other videos!
EXACTLY! ...so if the body of Christ is the temple, where does the Anti-Christ set himself up? What is the only thing that is holy, that we have always had here on earth? How can THE WHOLE WORLD make an image to something? What does the presence of the Harlot in Revelation imply? Why would the Messiah warn THE READER to be cautious in Matthew 24:15? Shalom
@@ethanhocking8229 says who? Matthew 24:3&4 ".........saying, tell us when shall these things be, and the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? ⁴ And Jesus answered....." ...and verse 14 & 15(15 being the verse why we are having this conversation).... ¹⁴ ".......and then the end shall come ¹⁵ When yee therefore see... " So what are you talking about? 🤔hmmm.... I wonder why the Messiah pointed to Daniel and the Old Testament when he warned us, and not Paul? Shalom
@@akaKRANNI The destruction of the Temple by the legions of Titus and Vespasian truly was the end of the world as far as the Jews were concerned. That was the world as they knew it, all that was meaningful to them, completely obliterated. Jesus was drawing a comparison between these catastrophic events and the time of Antiochus Epiphanes that was prophesied by Daniel. Only, it would be worse than Antiochus.
@@ethanhocking8229 I understand the theory, you're not telling me anything new(no disrespect). I disagree with it, and think it's a slight of hand by Satan. It's talking about the son of man returning with the clouds, and the elect being gathered... I hope you don't think these things have happened. I truly don't see how people force that view onto Matthew 24... but hey, I can't say anything... I did the same.
@@akaKRANNI I grew up with the dispensationalist mentality that said we're waiting for the events of Matthew 24 to start happening in the modern-day Middle-East. I just don't find that convincing anymore. I don't think it squares with sound exegesis. Also, I'm fascinated by history and I think we can really see how Jesus' prophecies have been fulfilled regarding Jerusalem and that they're not some failed end times prophecy that's been indefinitely put on hold. The Son of Man coming on the clouds is something that has happened, is happening, and will still happen. It began when Stephen saw this reality in his vision before he was stoned. The destruction of the Temple in 70 AD was the sign to the Jews that their Messiah had come and thus the Temple was obsolete.
“But can God really dwell on earth? Look, the heavens and the heavens beyond the heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house that I have built.” (1 Kings 8:27) “And Solomon built a house for him. But the Most High does not dwell in something made by hands; as the prophet says: ‘To me the sky is a throne, and the earth my feet’s footstool; what house will you build for me?’ says the Lord, ‘Or what place of rest for me? Has not my hand made all these things?’ You who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and ears, you always oppose the Spirit, the Holy One: as your fathers, so also you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who made proclamations in advance regarding the righteous one, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers: you, who received the Law through ordinances of angels, and did not keep it.” (Acts 7:47-53) “And when he was asked by the Pharisees, “When is the Kingdom of God coming?” he answered them and said, “The Kingdom does not come as something one observes, nor will persons say, ‘Look: Here it is’ or ‘There it is’ for look: The Kingdom of God is within you.” And he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man and will not see it. And they will say to you, ‘Look: There it is,’ ‘Look: Here it is’; do not go off or follow them. For just as the flashing lightning illuminates everything below heaven, from one end to the other, such will be the Son of Man on his day. But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. And, just as happened in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man: They were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, right up to the day when Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Just as happened, likewise, in the days of Lot: They were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; but on the day Lot departed from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just so on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, whoever will be upon the roof while his goods are in his home, let him not come down to collect them; likewise, whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to the things behind. Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his soul, he will lose it; and whoever loses it will preserve it. I tell you, on that night there will be two men upon one bed, the one will be carried off and the other spared. There will be two women grinding grain together, the one will be carried off and the other spared. [There will be two men in the field, the one will be carried off and the other spared.]” And in response they say to him, “Where, Lord?” And he said to them, “Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered.” (Luke 17:20-37) “And I was able to speak to you, brothers, not as to Spiritual men but rather as to fleshly men, as to infants in the Anointed. I gave you milk to drink, not food; for you were not capable then. But neither now are you [yet] able, for you are still fleshly. For, wherever there is jealousy and strife [and divisions] among you, are you not fleshly and proceeding in a human manner? For whenever someone says, “I am Paul’s” while another says, “I am Apollos’s,” are you not being human beings? So what is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to faith, even as the Lord gave it to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. Hence neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but rather the God causing the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward, in keeping with his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s tilth, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, I laid a foundation like a wise master builder; but another builds upon it. But let each one be vigilant of how he builds. For no one can lay another foundation beside the one laid down, which is Jesus the Anointed. Now, if on this foundation one erects gold, silver, precious stones, woods, hay, straw, each one’s work will become manifest; for the Day will declare it, because it is revealed by fire, and the fire will prove what kind of work each person’s is. If the work that someone has built endures, he will receive a reward; if anyone’s work should be burned away, he will suffer loss, yet he shall be saved, though so as by fire. Do you not know that you are God’s Temple and that God’s Spirit dwells within you? If anyone ruins God’s Temple, God will bring him to ruin; for God’s Temple-which you are-is holy.” (1 Corinthians 3:1-17)
According to both Roman sources and Jesus himself “not one stone” was left atop another of Herod’s temple. The Bible places the Temple in the City of David, near the Spring of Gihon (necessary for purification rituals) NOT the “Temple Mount”. If this is the case, I find it fascinating that God would conceal the true Temple site for 2,000 years and sovereignly place it somewhere that would be relatively uncontested if recognized.
Except the wailing wall is in fact part of the expanded wall of the temple compound foundations the temple stood within its walls. Christ referred to the temple buildings and they are completely gone. The tabernacle never resided within the city but outside the city for in the case of the city of David it was simply too small to accommodate such a large temple.

You don't see the need for a new temple but you are going to get one anyway. Why is Ezek 40+ in all its details there for?? So all those OT saints who read Ez before Jesus had it all wrong in their understanding and couldn't have known otherwise.
Okay this video is very thought provoking, yet reading the comments section is actually making me dumber. No wonder so many people want nothing to do with us. Sad.
Lord Yeshua, I pray that your healing hand be upon Dr. Michael Heiser. He is such a blessing to all those who constantly seek you in your words. May you grant him long life and through him more and more people will be enlightened by the correct handling of your word. In Yeshua’s name. Amen.
Futurism as a prophecy perspective along with dispensationalism as a system is to eschatology as young earth creationism is to origins. You can decide what I'm getting at here lol
Actually, that was as clear as mud. All of the positions you are dissing are well documented and biblically based. Whether the text fits your systematic theology or not is a different story. If you want to do anything to advance your position, then you actually have to present a case, structured on textual evidence. Discarding futurism relies on the completely disproven Preterism. Of one actually reads the text, all prophecy was not fulfilled in 70AD. A prime example are the predictions of Israel's future resurrection as a political entity. The appearance of the Antichrist did not occur in 70AD and Jesus did not appear in 70AD. Do futurism is not exactly false teaching. Dispensationalism accurately describes the fact that God has given multiple covenants throughout history, something that nondispensationalists acknowledge with the use of the Old and New Testaments.
Dr. Heiser, I think that the confusion lies in that Ezekiel describes a very literal temple of stone and wood yet you would have listeners understand that the temple in Revelation is the same. I think you would have to do an entire exposition on Ezekiel 40-48 and explain each physical detail as something spiritual.
@@harold5774 Sure thing! When it “comes to things to come,” there are several essentials I get from Scripture: (1) There must be a Rapture of all believers (I Cor. 15:50-54; I Th. 4:13-18; Rev. 4:1-2); (2) There must be a 7-year Tribulation (Dan. 9:24-27; Matt. 24; I Th. 5:1-3); (3) There must be a temple in the Tribulation period (Dan. 9:26-27; II Th. 2:1-4); (4) At the end of the Tribulation, there must be a Second Coming of Jesus with all believers from heaven (Mark 13:24-26; Rev. 19:11-16); (5) There must be a “Millennium,” the reign of Jesus Christ upon this earth for 1,000 years (Rev. 20:1-6). There will also be a temple, one like the world has never seen, standing in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40-48); (6) At the end of the Millennium, there must be a rebellion by Satan and his followers, an uprising that shall be squashed by God (Rev. 20:7-10), and the judgment of all the lost from all of history, who will be thrown into the lake of fire, the eternal place of punishment (Rev. 20:11-15); and (7) There must be a destruction of the current universe, which will immediately be followed by the instantaneous creation of a new universe, where God and all His saints will be forever (Is. 65:17; 66:22; Heb. 12:26-27; II Pet. 3:10-13; Rev. 21-22). There will not be a temple constructed by the hands of men in the new heaven and earth, but there will be a temple built either shortly before or very early in the Tribulation period. That temple will be destroyed, but it will be replaced by the Millennial Temple as described in Ezekiel 40-48. It, too, will be destroyed, when the current universe is burned up and replaced by the new heaven and earth.
Just like I believe the “already, but not yet”, I’m also a big believer in “both/and”. Of course we don’t need a third Temple. However, I believe a third Temple will be built. Both/and.
I’m not an evangelical Protestant, but (Eastern) Orthodox, and so much of what Heiser says and writes is very much at home in Orthodoxy. In fact, it appears that his biggest critics are found among his fellow evangelicals.
To say we won't have a 3rd temple is so psuedo. Revelation is clearly symbolic. That same chapter in revelation 21 also says we won't have a sun or moon. You can't possibly believe we won't have the Luminaries anymore. Ezekiel says we will have a 3rd temple & that's just what it is. Or he is a false prophet. Not just him but other prophets in the old testament that spoke of a 3rd temple as well
@@oneman7638 In ezekiel it spans a few chapters around the 40's. But chapter Ezekiel 47 speaks about the design of the 3rd temple. Speaks about a river that flows through the temple. And when this temple is built the healing of the nations begins
@@Hanak-EL John 7:37-39: “Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.“ Jesus is the Temple from which flow the living waters prophesied by Ezekiel. What's the use of listening to Michael Heiser if you don't hear him? 😋
@@adeodata6364 Just because jesus is likened unto a river in john 7 doesn't mean every river verse is a cross reference scripture to john 7. That's bad logic. Ezekiel is quite literal. Levi will once again have the priesthood, David will reign, the 12 tribes will return home and have their own portion of land including the tribe of Dan, the temple will be rebuilt with sacrifices resuming. All of this is spoken about in the last 8 chapters of ezekiel
Interesting. How do Dr. Heiser's ideas jive with Rev. 11 (he may answer this in the full-length presentation)? Rev. 11 appears to describe a physical temple. Rev. 21:22 says the temple is not in New Jerusalem. Still, we're not told what happened to the Rev. 11 temple. Zech. 14 is another passage worth examining when considering this Q.
"No we don't need the Third Temple for the End Times" is like saying "we don't need to eat bread anymore because Jesus Christ is our bread of life". Come on...🤦🏻♂️ The Scripture is very clear that there will be a physical temple on earth during Antichrist's reign. And the Scripture also says that there will be Levites and sacrifices during Christ's reign in the Millenium.
Two separate times, Millenium is when Yeshua reigns for 1,000 years and we are talking about a temple built before Yeshua comes, which doesn’t have to happen… please read my post how it is happening now.
@@princezzlily7700 I don't think anything of myself. The Scripture speaks of a physical temple. Rev 11:2 and Matt. 24 is very straightforward. Of course the Antichrist will be filled by Satan, as was Judas. That does not mean this is exactly what Scripture means that the Antichrist will sit in the holy place declaring Himself God. The physical temple always played a major role. Please don't overspiritualize this (applying it it in a spiritual way exclusively) and thus overriding very straightforward statements by the Word of YHWH.
Speaking as a Latter-day Saint I wholeheartedly agree with Dr. Heiser--that in the final analysis the eternal temple is the Body of Christ. Even so, that's not to say that temporary temples of brick and mortar are not useful. We (Latter-day Saints) have at least two hundred temples either in operation or currently under construction. They're different from our regular meeting houses. They have very sacred meaning both because of the sacred ordinances that we perform there and the rich symbolism that stems from temple theology. And so, until the day arrives that we are all united in the heavenly temple, we utilize the earthly temples to help sanctify us in preparation for that perfect day.
Daniel 9:20-27 gives the timeline for the 2nd temple up to the baptism and crucifixion. Verse 4 says “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. Basically meaning that the purpose of the temple is a completed work. It is finished in Christ. Therefore, I agree, there is no need for a temple in that sense. However, the temple was not destroyed until 70 AD so I presume temple functions continued until then, though I suspect unnecessarily. So I see no reason why people not recognising this and following a tradition would not rebuild a temple and continue it's tradition unnecessarily and without Gods blessing. I just think that any such temple built now would not be consecrated of God. It seems to me that since Pentecost, each believer is consecrated by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, buildings are not.
So, trying to wrap my mind around the abomination of desolation, how that occurs, and is seen by all the world if we do not have a physical temple. I'm not there yet.
We have been told about the third temple our whole life as Christians, but we can not prove that through study of HIS word that is the case. Pre trip is also another lie.
I suggested in my dissertation that the glory returning to the temple, which I argue is the community of faith, might be seen in the Fire of the Day of Pentecost.
I'm still confused about Daniel 9:27. Is that not the antichrist going in and stopping the sacrifices and as Nero put a pig on the altar, setting up an object of desecration? Does that mean something else?
Good question. I wonder and surmise that the term “sacrifice” has a range of meaning that resist a singular interpretation. The term in Hebrew is זֶבַח which carries the meaning of animal sacrifice, but also carries the meaning of Passover, the slaughter of nations, thank offerings, and covenant sacrifices. To bolster this case, Daniel 12:11 has a very interesting interpretation. Revelation 8:4 redefines offerings as “prayers“. This can be understood by the rapture of the church ending the daily offering of prayer. See Strongs concordance number 2077. So to answer to your question, I believe scripture has layers of meaning. The slaughter of a pig and the Jewish temple was a desecration and a foreshadowing. Much in the same way that the Old Testament patriarchs foreshadow, Jesus.
Yes, we do need a third temple for the end times... Revelation 11. Confusion caused by not noticing next: 1. The temple in Ezekiel is temple during 1000 years with Christ with restored sacrificial system. That's earthly Jerusalem restored, as described in 70 weeks prophecy. 2. In the New Jerusalem (after 1000 y) described in Revelation ( 21st chapter) there is no temple and no sacrifices. Also note; measurements of Jerusalem in Ezekiel and the one in Revelation are different - TWO DIFFERENT JERUSALEMS !
Dr Michael Heiser, God bless your soul, eternity awaited you. Your teachings have meant more to me these past few months concerning our walk with Christ and His revelations to us than anything else. And on this issue I agree entirely. The earlier temples were simply manifestations of the Promise in waiting, in order for the body of the Church as believers in Gods promise in Christ to assume that mantle. I believe the third temple will be again a move of rebellious denial of Christ once again. Just as they denied Him in the past, they will continue to do so. Revelation 2 vs 9 has a lot to do with this and the coming great deception. The church itself is not a literal building as the end of the age nears... but the hearts of men and women who believe in His advent.
Some ask, ‘ How can the man of perdition stand in the Holy Place and declare himself God’ if the temple isn’t physically built? Recall that Jesus said that, in the latter days many will come saying,” I am he” and “ I am the Christ”. If one looks with a clear eye at the state of the lack of real Biblical discernment in the Church today ( and I’m talking about the genuine believers) and how we so easily are accepting the Celebrity Pastor meme today ( all that is necessary for someone to be considered a “teacher” or a “leader” - think Francis Chan or guys like that - is to have a RUclips channel or to write some books) one can easily see how what the Scriptures describe can be referring to the Body of Christ. Remember, the true Bride will NOT be fooled and will easily recognize that he is the man of perdition but the “foolish maidens” will not.
Revelation 11:1-2 "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, 'Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.'"

Ya fire and brimstone
In order to understand the end time prophecy properly, one must study the
Millennium and the final New Heaven and New earth in details. Ezekiel 40-48 is talking about in details of Christ Reign on earth with his saints during Millennium, Rev 20. Rev 21 is talking about ETERNAL heaven & earth without the temple, no offerings, no sea, no death, no evil, no need of sun & Moon(no more Sabbath observance or seasons) & etc... after the final judgement. It says God and Jesus is our temple.
Jeremiah 33 says all nation on EARTH will bring offering on earth and praise one true God. In entire human history, there has NOT been a time when all the nation on earth brought offerings and sacrifices to one true God. Its referring to the Millennium. Zachariah 14, says the similar message that ALL THE NATIONS shall go up year after year to worship the King & keep the feast of Booth. During Millennium, there will be Sabbath, Passover with sacrifices (as memorial only), Feast of booth will be observed. Therefore, the temple is required. Its not a big relevant point that the temple does not have roof, therefore it must be symbolic?
😫😫😫
Other holy days are not observed since it was fulfilled. The feast of booth
represent the Millennium & Observance of Passover continuously teach people
bout the sacrifice of the son of God redeeming human race from the death caused by the sins. Its memorial only like we observe the Lord's table as memorial.
The 7 God's appointed holy days are good study to understand the future prophecy. Jesus fulfilled all the spring festival at the 1st coming. Jesus will fulfilled the fall festivals at the 2nd coming. God's appointed days are not Jewish holy days. It was given to the Israelites to keep it for time being. God's holy days are his plan of Salvation for the world.
Its bad Hermeneutic when you develop believes based on a few scriptures
then run into a opposing texts. Instead of asking God to teach you or probe
further, you explain away by overly spiritualizing the the opposing texts and
tell people it must be symbolic
All eschatology is based on presuppositions that are based on various interpretations.
If you believe in a Rapture, then the body of Christ is gone and a new temple has to be created so that 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (Temple of God):
can be fulfilled:
“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.
If you counter that there's no rapture, you still have to contend with the verse showing that the Antichrist is sitting in the temple.
Thank you for your incredible body of work, Dr. Heiser. Standing in agreement with the others here in praying for your complete healing and restoration in Jesus’ name.
Thank you Dr. Heiser. My family is praying for you. You mean a great deal to us.

Zachariah 14, says the similar message that ALL THE NATIONS shall go up year after year to worship the King & keep the feast of Booth. During Millennium, there will be Sabbath, Passover with sacrifices (as memorial only), Feast of booth will be observed. Therefore, the temple is required. Its not a big relevant point that the temple does not have roof, therefore it must be symbolic?
😫😫😫
Other holy days are not observed since it was fulfilled. The feast of booth
represent the Millennium & Observance of Passover continuously teach people
bout the sacrifice of the son of God redeeming human race from the death caused by the sins. Its memorial only like we observe the Lord's table as memorial.
The 7 God's appointed holy days are good study to understand the future prophecy. Jesus fulfilled all the spring festival at the 1st coming. Jesus will fulfilled the fall festivals at the 2nd coming. God's appointed days are not Jewish holy days. It was given to the Israelites to keep it for time being. God's holy days are his plan of Salvation for the world.
Its bad Hermeneutic when you develop believes based on a few scriptures
then run into a opposing texts. Instead of asking God to teach you or probe further, you explain away by overly spiritualizing the the opposing texts and
tell people it must be symbolic.
Brother, just discovered you as someone requested prayer for your illness. Please look into the Gerson Therapy before receiving chemo. Gerson has a cure rate of 87% for those who don’t undergo chemo, even among those with late stage/metastasized cancers. Praying for you and your family.
Great information and good looking out, Kathy!
Sounds sketchy. I trust in God and believe in the power of blood, and in modern medicine, but not in charlatans that say they have a miraculous cure that no one else has.
@@RUT812 The Gerson therapy has been proven, and has cured many people who were given up by pharmacuetical M.D.’s as incurable. It has a greater than 85% success rate with people who stick with it. Eating clean, natural, unprocessed foods and nutrient dense juicing is hardly “quackery”…and our Creator gave us the plants bearing seed as food in the beginning. If you actually looked into the history of Doctor Gersons’ work you might have a bit more respect for him.
I absolutely agree that God is out Healer, and we all should seek Him above all else for our health and wellness in Spirit, Soul, and body.
Prayers for Dr.,may God heal you & help teach His Church! ❤️🙏😎
Prayers for you Michael! In Jesus’s Mighty name🙏
I stand and join all the saints that are praying for you, Dr. Heiser. We love you!
Jesus warned against the abomination of desolation from Daniel at the temple and said there will be great tribulation at that time. Paul said the man of sin will sit in the temple and declare himself God. Israel shall built temple, and I believe that will be the sign that the end is near.
I agree
@Path Finder, why should believe such a vague statement?
Yet it could well be that that temple is the religious institution, or the delusion prophesied. It is possible that the delusion is about invading the Church. The Enemy will deceive our modern Churches and they will gladly accept him. Only those who watch and listen can understand. It is just a thought.
Dude the abomination of desolation already happened. The greeks literally sacrificed swine on the altar and set up their mount olympus gods in the temple
Can Satan set himself up as God in the Temple of our bodies? I believe he is doing that right now with his nanobots, graphene oxide and AI. YHVH is in our DNA. So why are they tampering with our DNA through mRNA and epigenetics?
Praying for you Dr. Heiser. My son who is now 28 and myself were very sick nearly died in 2008. Son had h-pylori bacteria and i food poisoning. they were frightening times. Our digestions shut down due to infections. We experienced complete healing. I am believing for your complete healing now.
I do believe the Bible teaches us that the man of sin known as the anti christ will sit in the temple in Jerusalem God tells us this in His Word and glory to God becs we know alrdy who will reign in the end our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ hallelujah
No the man of sin already sits in his temple. To you it’s a parable. He’s been here his temple is already built. Did you hear. There is a whole lot he is not telling you people.😵💫🧐
@@jeffperkins1351 .....the "man of sin" is YOU....and me, and every "human" .
It is "Adam" , our "outer man"...our "flesh".
Everything in prophetic scripture is a "parable" of sorts.
All the confusion is because the carnal mind reads and interprets the scriptures literally and physically.
When they are meant to reveal SPIRITUAL TRUTH .
@@TheWhyIsThatSo “And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.””
Daniel 9:26-27 ESV
The rest of it this prophecy literally happened. Why would the part that has yet to be fulfilled suddenly be figurative?
@@Jeffr33 .....lol, so "sixty two weeks " and "one week" , and "half a week" should be all literal "weeks" then.....right ????
@@TheWhyIsThatSo “week” means a heptad, a group of 7. In the same way dozen means a group of 12. 62 periods of 7 years occurred from Ataxerxes’ decree. The one remaining “week” is the last 7 years of this present age, also known as the Great Tribulation. John also uses the same phraseology in Revelation in describing the last seven years.
So to answer your question, yes, literal.
In prayer for your healing, brother.
You are a blessing to God's people!
Sending prayers. Thanks so much for your work which has always been so enlightening!
Praying for you and your family. Believing for your complete healing. God still has work for you. Love from Lynn in Nebraska.

"Will the Jewish people love a 45 year old, catholic, polish women as their Jewish Messiah" That's how I already revealed myself back in October. My name is MAGDALENA this time. If that's not enough proof that JESUS was a Messiah then there is another one. Everything God showed me and told me happened outside. GOD IS NOT INSIDE THE CHURCHES. MY TEMPLE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHURCHES. TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW😥🙏🕊🕊🕊
That's already happened during the 2d period BCE by Anthiocus 4
Please see Chuck Missler's RUclips video in this regard Sir, the third temple has to be there physically like the 1st and 2nd temple.
We're Praying for you dear Dr. God's will above all.
We all must do our part and spread the good news
And may God strengthen you and continue to work through you despite your illness!
Your view on the end times is based off how strict your hermeneutics are. The stricter the hermeneutics the more literal you take scripture and the looser the hermeneutics the more you will allegorize the scripture. I believe allegorizing scripture is a very slippery slope and is a license to invent. Of course there are multiple figures of speech in the Bible but I believe that God says what He means and means what He says. I believe the more you study sculpture and mature in Gods word the stricter your hermeneutics becomes. Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. God bless you all on your search through the amazing, infallible Word of God!
Even the Israelites acknowledge the 4 levels of scripture. God's ways are higher than our ways. It is only the Holy Spirit that leads us into Truth. Line upon line, precept upon precept leads to stumbling and falling backwards.
"To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."
Isaiah 28:12-13 KJV
@@CarolJamieson I 100% believe there are multiple levels of application , but to start with allegory and create a doctrine, is not the way you should start. I believe you should start with the literal and look elsewhere in the scriptures to confirm it is so , and go from there.
Good exegesis makes the differences clear. There is both allegorical and literal meaning in the scriptures, sometimes combined together. I don't have the knowledge of Greek or of the cultural meaning of certain terms in certain times and places that many good pastors and other Christians more blessed in this gift/knowledge than I, but I find listening to John Macarthur, John Piper, RC Sproul and others to be helpful as they are painstakingly careful and extremely gifted in their exegesis. I read my Bible to develop my own understanding as well, and do not rely on men alone, but these men of God and others like them really help what is sometimes confusing to make a lot more sense through their sound exegesis. May there be many blessings to you from God above. In His Love we stand together x
Amen to the prayers for Dr. Michael to be healed. The body of Christ in unity. His teaching is so valuable. Thank you.

I give you purpose and meaning, as you fulfill My purpose and meaning.
The flower blooms for My pleasure.
The tree groweth by the nurturing of My Hand.
I count the hairs upon your head daily, your name have I engraved upon My own hand.
My children, I have sent to you My Son that through Him you might know Me.
He represents all My love for you.
My written Word became flesh.
I stepped down from My House, to teach you of My Great Love for you.
Everything in My life represents every aspect of what you My children would endure in this life, in every profound way. My life reaches out to the lost sheep of My flock. I call out to you my children
" Come Hither unto Me ".
Thy path have I made straight. I know you will stumble, I know you will fall, but I Am here with you always, never leaving you alone.
I Am the Hand reaching out from the Light.
The Holy Gift of Grace, the life laid down that you might live.
Oh My children, I placed you in My garden, I walked and talked with you daily. And you knew Me. A thief came in the night and stole you away from Me, and your bright nature was lost.
So I wrapped you in the garment of flesh, you passed through the vail of forgetfulness. You were put into the great torment of the winepress.
My children, this is done out of My Great Lovingkindness.
All are appointed once to die and all My children they did cry, but through My Son the Work is Done.
Do not be fearful My little ones, for you are in the palms of My Hands, My Will is fulfilled in you.
My Father who art in Heaven, Thy Righteous Son is Thy Faithfulness, for He is Thy Righteous Right Arm, plunging into the depths of the darkness, the saving hand of Grace and Mercy.
It is You Blessed Father who saves, it is You Merciful Father who wrapped Yourself in the flesh and none could see. Thy Lovingkindness fulfilleth all things.
My Father is Holy, He covers me on every side. There is none who can touch me. For I am His. My Father Poureth out wisdom upon the meek, the humble, the broken hearted.
Thy faithfulness is upon Your beloved, for Thou restoreth the broken-hearted.
In Thee Oh Father we trust,
in Thee Oh Father we love,
in Thee Oh Father, flowing rivers of Living Water. Thy blessings raineth down upon me in Thy secret places Oh Father, and none will see as it is for me and Thee Oh Gracious, ever loving Father. To each are You revealed in Your own ways, crafting each one to Your purpose, forming my inward parts. As a song, Thee unto me and me unto Thee, Oh sweet melody.
Lean not upon thine own understanding, for My ways are above your ways sayeth The Lord. Trust in Me, for you have passed through the vail of forgetfulness to fulfill My purpose. I alone know the beginning and the end. You My children have upon you my Seal, with seeking My Face, you will come to remembrance, for you are set apart, not one will be plucked from My Hand. You shall speak My Words, and My Word shall flow from your mouth. Do not become weary, for I Am with you always.
Leaving His Holy Mountain, laying down His Great Power, passing through the vail of forgetfulness, putting on the garment of flesh, to become meek, lowly, that He would break the curse of sin and death through His promise proclaimed from the beginning.
IT IS FINISHED He proclaimed and giving up the ghost, He raising up after three days, by His Power, ascending to the right hand of the Father, He sent to us the HolySpirit, for now the way has been paved. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise be to our King, Mighty is He, long suffering, all forgiving.
Men tracked Him down not knowing they were answering His call. Taking Him captive to silence His cause in turn rang out His voice for generations to come. Men hung their King on a tree unaware that in this they opened the gates for His Glory to come in. Believing they pinned Him into a corner did not understand they were bringing the world to His feet. In all of this men unknowingly fulfilled every word of the scriptures spoken through the Most High God.
All of us are a part of this fallen world, it is full of evil and darkness. All things that are good in this place only comes from above, the Mercies of God. The Most Holy God holds no one from His Mercies. Through Jesus making Himself a sacrifice brought the Mercies of God to all His children who had fallen away unto death.
The Spirit of the Living God dwells within you. An amber, a Spark ready to be fanned into an ever burning flame.
Come to The Lord Jesus Christ, for in Him is life. He is the way, the truth and the life.
He is
The Way.
The Door.
The Door to life everlasting.
Praise be to His Name for ever and ever...
God bless you my brother.
Amen
Prayers to you and your family Dr. Heiser in this time of trial, may the Lord bless you and I pray He can bring peace, joy, and healing to your life. Amen.

I've often wondered if WE aren't the 'new temple' under the 'new covenant', but still believe a physical 3rd temple will be built as a sign of imminent end times.
We are the 3rd temple and this thingy they are pushing into every man woman and child alters your god given D*N*A same as in the days of Noah so Satan is entering the temple with this thingy
Praying for God to restore you back to full health ....your teachings are biblical thank you so much
The temple where the abomination of desolation occurs isn't the true temple... yet it will be built to fulfill prophecy.

Then how is the son of perdition going to sit in this temple and declare himself god? He can't sit in the hearts and minds of believers who are sealed with the Holy Spirit
Great observation, Poppy! Thank you for that!!!!
He can with the unbelievers. It maybe A I driven.
Through deception.
Poppy Ozark, Some say, because our bodies are considered a temple of God, so thats how they justify there not needing to be a actual 3rd temple built. However I'm not sure you can consider a persons body being like a temple of God if the Holy Spirit isn't dwelling in them, and clearly the Holy Spirit isn't dwelling in the antichrist. Now I suppose its possible that standing in the temple of God, could mean the antichrist standing in Jerusalem, claiming to be God, so that could be a possibility, I suppose. I've just always figured a 3rd temple will be built, when the Jews start up the daily sacrifice once again during the start of Daniels 70th week. Yet there has been talks by Jews saying they technically don't need to build a temple to start up the daily sacrifice. So I guess will just have to wait and see, this is one part of prophecy that were going to just have to wait to see how it unfolds to know for sure. But thats not going to stop some from trying to act like they know all, lol.

everyone looking for a literal third temple to be rebuilt but the real temple is our body
@Zero Flecks I think cut off sacrifices is cutting off our repentance ( ie ) trying to do what our Lord asked of us. We will by into sin does not exist hence we will not need a Savior ( ie ) Jesus Christ. Ths just came to me when I read your comment
@Zero Flecks maybe they put something into your body??
@Zero Flecks
Daniel 9 was already fulfilled and it has nothing to do with some anti christ. The greeks and romans destroyed the temple already. When the new temple is built it will never again be destroyed
The Jews don't see our bodies or their bodies as the Temple. So it would make sense for them to build a temple.
@Zero Flecks I thought of that. The vax is the devil in our bodies. Maybe, maybe not.
My Facebook family and friends are praying for you Dr. We are grateful for you 🙏💯
I guess my question would be, "If we're the temple it's referring to, what/where is the temple where the anti-christ performs the abomination of desolation at the mid-tribulation point?" There would have to be another physically-built temple for him to do this in no?
My guess is that he would be similar to postmillenials (like me). All of that already happened in AD 70. Also John says there where many antichrists, antichrists are anyone that is against Christ.
There are numerous false christs hiding among the people of God.
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
1 John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist
Perhaps jpfiero has a point, maybe the temple being defiled is our souls, as in, the spirit of what people believe. It says that beware and run if the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
What would be the holy place? Perhaps it's where people keep their image of God, maybe it's the identity of the people? If so, then all of this about lgbt, atheism and opposition to christianity in general being adopted, becoming the identity of many people, perhaps that is the abomination of desolation, when mankind becomes largely opposed to God and whose image of God, and the holy place that contains it, the individual identity, become inhabited by the spirit of the antichrist, the abomination.
Take my suggestion with a grain of salt though, it might be my way of rationalizing the recent events as basically this. The abomination has been there for some time.
Alternate interpretation of the holy place could be the fragmented yet united church of God, speaking of the antichrist corruption that festers in the Catholic Church, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
@@ceasedesist9676 I have heard this theory before. It is worth keeping in mind as we see more and more Christians abandon sound doctrine of the scriptures.
I appreciate Michael so much and am sorry to learn he is ill. Praying for restoration of health Michael.
Normally I very much agree with things you say, I will however note that Ezekiel seems to go on for quite some time about the dimensions of the 3rd temple (with dimensions that fit neither Solomon's temple or Herod's) I think the idea of it "not having a roof" can be answered quite easily in that the roof is assumed. So though I think you mention some good points, there is certainly a physical temple which will be built with a physical throne. I would like to see the answer as to what the different dimensions mean if this is just about the body of Christ.
There will be no need for a roof because the new temple will be in new Jerusalem, the bride of Christ which is the bridge between earth and Heaven in the millennial reign, there will be nothing that could possibly defile it.
A lot of what this guy says is devoid of understanding.
@@888WulfDog888 It is very unlikely a prophet would go on for 9 chapters (not written in chapter sections but you get the point) for some ultimately irrelevant metaphor that could be equally easily be summed up with "the temple will be built" instead of God being a God of confusion and adding unnecessary details, measurements, and temple ordinances. You still yet to answer what the numbers mean if it's not literal measurements.
correct but this temple is clearly not meant to be built in our current era. It has a river flowing through for one thing. This structure will exist in the soon coming 1000 year reign of Christ.
There will be no other temple built before Christ returns. Daniel 9:27 does not contain the hebrew word temple and this has been inferred in the NIV. Also Paul is talking metaphorically in 2 Thesallonians 2:4
Thanks!
I'm glad someone is saying this.
May God heal you ❤️
Dr. Heiser, I'm praying Psalm 118:17 KJV, in Jesus Name!
17) I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
Quote it over yourself daily! God bless you🙏🏻❣
I have been so blessed by your teachings and books Dr Heiser. I do have one burning question though which I hope you can answer. Has the antichrist already been and performed the abomination of desolation in the Temple? There seems to be a popular belief that a literal temple in Jerusalem (that may be different to the new Jerusalem/the church as the Temple) is required for the end times prophecies with the antichrist. Ezekiel 38&39, Daniel 8-12 all seem to require a physical temple in Jerusalem. What are your views on this?
Thanks for clarifying this. It makes sense. Blessings
You need the temple because it has been foretold that in the temple the lawless one who is yet to come will oppose God. Also, it could not the body of Christ since in the temple, sacrifices are being done according to Daniel 9:25-27. No one sacrifices offerings to God in the Body of Christ in a way that could be stopped by the lawless one.
the sacrifices were stopped in 70 AD, that temple was destroyed
the lawless one will sit on people's NT temple - the body - through technology (injections, DNA therapy, AI, biometric devices, etc.)
You’re right. I’m surprised to see this overlooked by a teacher like Dr. Heiser.
@@bauboni Yep! I've been saying that for about 2 years now. That prophecy was made before the building of the 2nd Temple and it applies to that one and not some future one.
All of those objections the way I see it are easily overcome. First of all it does not state what these “sacrifices” are in the middle of the “week” the “sacrifices” in the New Testament are totally different in the New Testament and come from the heart not by sacrificing animals etc. you said “in the temple the lawless one who is yet to come will oppose God” that’s easy.. some of those “within” the temple or body of Christ will oppose God. The council did in heaven.. I don’t believe in “once saved always saved” the Bible clearly makes a case for that that one can indeed choose to walk away from God once saved. Yes He never leaves or forsakes us but we sure can choose to leave and forsake Him. Who are those that Jesus says “I never knew you”? And the last thing is you said “no one sacrifices offerings in the body of Christ that could be stopped by the enemy” well I submit this… look at the majority of the western churches sacrifices today… pretty much idol worship and entertainment focused.. seems the enemy is doing a pretty good job even before the great tribulation in opposing God within the “temple” to me. So I agree with Dr. Heiser and would have to say that within the “temple” the enemy will rise up! Yes within the “body of Christ”.. we still have free will when saved. We’re not “forced” to stay saved if we for some reason choose not to.. trust me.. the enemy will come from “within” just like Judas was “within”.. he walked, talked, slept by Jesus, ate with him, laughed with Him.. etc. and still denied him and gave Him over to be killed. Again I don’t think those objections are hurdles what so ever.
Anyone who has the opinion that the third temple doesn't need to physically exist does not know their scripture. The scriptures clearly state that the earthly temple is a copy of what is in heaven; just like the Ark of the covenant seen in said temple in Revelation 11:19. Other things point to a physical nature as well, with John being tasked to measure the temple, in the book of Revelation as well. Furthermore, in Mathew 24:15, when Christ mentions the 'abomination of desolation', he is directly referring to Antiochus Epiphanes sacrilegious sacrifice of a pig, to zeus, in the temple. Lastly, Daniel 9:27, clearly states that in the middle of the last week of Daniel, the beginning of the tribulation, that oblation in the Temple will cease. And if you look at the Septuagint of Daniel 9:27, the exact language used is 'and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away'. In conclusion, there is no way to rectify what this man is saying Biblically and it is false doctrine.
I pray that you deliver this gospel teacher from cancer in Jesus's mighty name amen.
I like Dr Heiser inside on the bible, but I disagree with him in this point. There is a literal millennium and a temple coming, even if it sound crazy just as a literal nation of Israel to all scholars prior to 1948.
It also presents a grand problem for *Matthew 24* which ties to what Paul speaks of in *2 Thess Ch. 2:4=* "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" = *This is known as the Abomination. What a lot of people look over when they scan through this Scripture because they've read it a zillion times is that 1. Obviously this is a physical temple but 2. And less obvious for western Christians is that among the Temple furnishings there is NO SEAT. The Abomination here is that he SITS in the place of not only the Priests but the HIGH PRIEST who is Jesus SEATED at the Right Hand of God and ALSO in the place of GOD who sat down and rested from ALL of HIS WORKS from beginning of Creation. This is the ULTIMATE slap in the face of God and answers in a more extreme way what Jesus did when he went to the seat of Baal and said 'Upon this rock Ill build my church.' This was and is a physical place with both a natural and spiritual history*
@@thetruthchannel349 we have the Olivet discourse & Thess texts textual & historical context (that coincide) of the then 2nd temples destruction & The Abomination of Desolation just as Messiah Jesus Prophesied, & it all happened on point as He said, that generation did not pass away until those things took place. Scripture was not written to us, but for us to apply as believers, live peaceful God fearing, gracious love abounding lives, glorifying the Lord of glory until He returns to put all things to right, as we are partakers of the divine nature, participants in the Son of Gods Kingdom. 1Pet2:5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ

@@thetruthchannel349 they can absolutely go together but its not that you have to respond, I was just commenting on your response, but if it helps, Christ prophesied in Olivet Discourse that all these things would take place before this (that) generation passes away, the abomination of desolation being one which for many coincides w/ 2Thess 2:4.

Great explanation! Thank you Dr Heiser!
I’ve believed for a long time that the 3rd Temple is the Body of Christ. I’m not a scholar, but it just makes sense. The Spirit of God indwells His people.
Yes 🙌🏽 ✝️🙌🏽 Praise God! Your will be done! Thank You Lord Jesus for rescuing us. 🕊️🤍
The number one ingredient you need in order for a building to be a Biblical temple is the Holy Spirit. Even if the Jews rebuild a "temple" it won't have the Holy Spirit so cannot be a Biblical temple. My view is that the temple is the believers in Jesus as living stones being built into a temple.
Hes on point, & as believers I dont know why anyone would want a new temple where sin sacrifices are offered, this would be as trampling the holy blood of Christ underfoot, are once for all time spotless perfect propitiation for sin, to the praise of His majesty. We are being built up a spiritual house, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Members of the household of God, ~Eph2:20-22 built on the foundation of the apostles & prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the Cornerstone, in Whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit
Ezekiel 45:22 says under the 3rd temple David is offering up a sin offering for all israel. Explain
I think believers take some things literal that are meant to be symbolic, like many things in the Revelation of John. They wish to see the third temple rebuilt on the temple mount because that is a sign of the end of days. No believer should be concerned about sacrifices since they (should) understand that Jesus is The Sacrifice.
@@snakejumper3277
Yeah. And some in a very Gnostic Origen sort of way take some things that are meant be literal and over spiritualize them. Finding a way to spiritualize something is stimulating, rejuvenating and makes some feel spiritual, deep and wise. Lol!
@@Hanak-EL the second temple was yet built & Ezekiel was a Prophet, prophesying about the temple. Ezk 45:22 & upon that day shall the Prince prepare for himself & for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering(No 3rd mentioned). Besides there are no more high Priests except the Son of Man the Son of God Jesus Christ, as the old order of sin sacrifice is done away & the Old Covenant Age, the New Covenant Age by the holy blood of Christ is established
@@J-PLeigh8409
That's a lie. That's not talking about the second temple because it speaks about the return of David and the restoration of all 12 tribes
Ezekiel's Temple vision includes a sacrificial system. Please explain how that fits with any post-Christ's crucifixion Temple, or even a metaphorical Temple where God and The Lamb are the Temple as it says in Revelation.
Early dispensationalists actually believed the sacrificial system would return in the millennium. The Apostles clearly said Christ was the final sacrifice for all. Who is right?
Considering who came first and who came later, Christ's apostles take precedent. Sacrifices are over after the one true sacrifice. Ultimately Ezekiel cannot be a far future prophecy.
Controversial point incoming (which I will phrase as a question)...
As a Christian, should you ever encourage the construction of a temple to the god of another religion (e.g. Shiva, Allah, Baphomet, Odin, Zeus or Isis)?
[Personally I'd assume the answer to be 'No'.]
If not, then why encourage the construction of a temple for the Jews who also worship a deity that is not Christ? Would you encourage a Muslim/Mormon/JW in their worship seeing as they have rejected the "whole fullness of God"? No? Then why encourage the Jews to worship when they have also rejected the true God?
{As a heads up, I adore the work of Heiser. You're a rolemodel to me and I love your books and novels! I simply like to start interesting discussions as I live in a nation where our people are always too polite to challange one another. This post is not an attack.}
Jesus christ is not even the most high. You guys are in idolatry
@@Hanak-EL This response confuses me I'm afraid. You may need to ellaborate. As a Christian I believe that Jesus is God, plain and simple. And I'm not totaly sure what makes you think that others and myself are in 'idolatry'. Please do explain if you can.
@@mrcarroll1386
Because nowhere did christ ever teach he was the most high. He taught us to serve the father and him alone. The fact you worship him makes it idolatry
@@mrcarroll1386 yhwh is the Most High, and although yeshua is God manifest in the flesh, and our way to the Father, the Father is still in a higher position.
" the diety that isn't christ" where do you get that idea from?
The trinity comes directly from the Godhead of 2nd temple Biblical Judaism that Jesus and Paul taught.

@@akaKRANNI The destruction of the Temple by the legions of Titus and Vespasian truly was the end of the world as far as the Jews were concerned. That was the world as they knew it, all that was meaningful to them, completely obliterated. Jesus was drawing a comparison between these catastrophic events and the time of Antiochus Epiphanes that was prophesied by Daniel. Only, it would be worse than Antiochus.
@@ethanhocking8229 I understand the theory, you're not telling me anything new(no disrespect). I disagree with it, and think it's a slight of hand by Satan. It's talking about the son of man returning with the clouds, and the elect being gathered... I hope you don't think these things have happened. I truly don't see how people force that view onto Matthew 24... but hey, I can't say anything... I did the same.
@@akaKRANNI I grew up with the dispensationalist mentality that said we're waiting for the events of Matthew 24 to start happening in the modern-day Middle-East. I just don't find that convincing anymore. I don't think it squares with sound exegesis. Also, I'm fascinated by history and I think we can really see how Jesus' prophecies have been fulfilled regarding Jerusalem and that they're not some failed end times prophecy that's been indefinitely put on hold. The Son of Man coming on the clouds is something that has happened, is happening, and will still happen. It began when Stephen saw this reality in his vision before he was stoned. The destruction of the Temple in 70 AD was the sign to the Jews that their Messiah had come and thus the Temple was obsolete.
“But can God really dwell on earth? Look, the heavens and the heavens beyond the heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house that I have built.” (1 Kings 8:27)
“And Solomon built a house for him. But the Most High does not dwell in something made by hands; as the prophet says: ‘To me the sky is a throne, and the earth my feet’s footstool; what house will you build for me?’ says the Lord, ‘Or what place of rest for me? Has not my hand made all these things?’ You who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and ears, you always oppose the Spirit, the Holy One: as your fathers, so also you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who made proclamations in advance regarding the righteous one, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers: you, who received the Law through ordinances of angels, and did not keep it.” (Acts 7:47-53)
“And when he was asked by the Pharisees, “When is the Kingdom of God coming?” he answered them and said, “The Kingdom does not come as something one observes, nor will persons say, ‘Look: Here it is’ or ‘There it is’ for look: The Kingdom of God is within you.” And he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man and will not see it. And they will say to you, ‘Look: There it is,’ ‘Look: Here it is’; do not go off or follow them. For just as the flashing lightning illuminates everything below heaven, from one end to the other, such will be the Son of Man on his day. But first it is necessary that he suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. And, just as happened in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man: They were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, right up to the day when Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Just as happened, likewise, in the days of Lot: They were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; but on the day Lot departed from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just so on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, whoever will be upon the roof while his goods are in his home, let him not come down to collect them; likewise, whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to the things behind. Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his soul, he will lose it; and whoever loses it will preserve it. I tell you, on that night there will be two men upon one bed, the one will be carried off and the other spared. There will be two women grinding grain together, the one will be carried off and the other spared. [There will be two men in the field, the one will be carried off and the other spared.]” And in response they say to him, “Where, Lord?” And he said to them, “Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered.” (Luke 17:20-37)
“And I was able to speak to you, brothers, not as to Spiritual men but rather as to fleshly men, as to infants in the Anointed. I gave you milk to drink, not food; for you were not capable then. But neither now are you [yet] able, for you are still fleshly. For, wherever there is jealousy and strife [and divisions] among you, are you not fleshly and proceeding in a human manner? For whenever someone says, “I am Paul’s” while another says, “I am Apollos’s,” are you not being human beings? So what is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to faith, even as the Lord gave it to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. Hence neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but rather the God causing the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward, in keeping with his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s tilth, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, I laid a foundation like a wise master builder; but another builds upon it. But let each one be vigilant of how he builds. For no one can lay another foundation beside the one laid down, which is Jesus the Anointed. Now, if on this foundation one erects gold, silver, precious stones, woods, hay, straw, each one’s work will become manifest; for the Day will declare it, because it is revealed by fire, and the fire will prove what kind of work each person’s is. If the work that someone has built endures, he will receive a reward; if anyone’s work should be burned away, he will suffer loss, yet he shall be saved, though so as by fire. Do you not know that you are God’s Temple and that God’s Spirit dwells within you? If anyone ruins God’s Temple, God will bring him to ruin; for God’s Temple-which you are-is holy.” (1 Corinthians 3:1-17)
I always thought that the 3rd temple, if built, would be the temple of the anrichrist.
We pray for your healing. And thanks for the book Reversing Hermon. What a interesting topic.
According to both Roman sources and Jesus himself “not one stone” was left atop another of Herod’s temple. The Bible places the Temple in the City of David, near the Spring of Gihon (necessary for purification rituals) NOT the “Temple Mount”. If this is the case, I find it fascinating that God would conceal the true Temple site for 2,000 years and sovereignly place it somewhere that would be relatively uncontested if recognized.
Except the wailing wall is in fact part of the expanded wall of the temple compound foundations the temple stood within its walls. Christ referred to the temple buildings and they are completely gone. The tabernacle never resided within the city but outside the city for in the case of the city of David it was simply too small to accommodate such a large temple.

You don't see the need for a new temple but you are going to get one anyway. Why is Ezek 40+ in all its details there for?? So all those OT saints who read Ez before Jesus had it all wrong in their understanding and couldn't have known otherwise.

Futurism as a prophecy perspective along with dispensationalism as a system is to eschatology as young earth creationism is to origins. You can decide what I'm getting at here lol
Actually, that was as clear as mud. All of the positions you are dissing are well documented and biblically based. Whether the text fits your systematic theology or not is a different story.
If you want to do anything to advance your position, then you actually have to present a case, structured on textual evidence. Discarding futurism relies on the completely disproven Preterism. Of one actually reads the text, all prophecy was not fulfilled in 70AD. A prime example are the predictions of Israel's future resurrection as a political entity. The appearance of the Antichrist did not occur in 70AD and Jesus did not appear in 70AD. Do futurism is not exactly false teaching.
Dispensationalism accurately describes the fact that God has given multiple covenants throughout history, something that nondispensationalists acknowledge with the use of the Old and New Testaments.
Dr. Heiser, I think that the confusion lies in that Ezekiel describes a very literal temple of stone and wood yet you would have listeners understand that the temple in Revelation is the same. I think you would have to do an entire exposition on Ezekiel 40-48 and explain each physical detail as something spiritual.
There are so many things wrong in this clip, I don't know where to begin. This is a terrific example of terrible exegesis.
If you did have the time, would you care to explain? I'd really like to compare and contrast some of these to come to my own conclusion. Maranatha
@@harold5774 Sure thing! When it “comes to things to come,” there are several essentials I get from Scripture: (1) There must be a Rapture of all believers (I Cor. 15:50-54; I Th. 4:13-18; Rev. 4:1-2); (2) There must be a 7-year Tribulation (Dan. 9:24-27; Matt. 24; I Th. 5:1-3); (3) There must be a temple in the Tribulation period (Dan. 9:26-27; II Th. 2:1-4); (4) At the end of the Tribulation, there must be a Second Coming of Jesus with all believers from heaven (Mark 13:24-26; Rev. 19:11-16); (5) There must be a “Millennium,” the reign of Jesus Christ upon this earth for 1,000 years (Rev. 20:1-6). There will also be a temple, one like the world has never seen, standing in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40-48); (6) At the end of the Millennium, there must be a rebellion by Satan and his followers, an uprising that shall be squashed by God (Rev. 20:7-10), and the judgment of all the lost from all of history, who will be thrown into the lake of fire, the eternal place of punishment (Rev. 20:11-15); and (7) There must be a destruction of the current universe, which will immediately be followed by the instantaneous creation of a new universe, where God and all His saints will be forever (Is. 65:17; 66:22; Heb. 12:26-27; II Pet. 3:10-13; Rev. 21-22). There will not be a temple constructed by the hands of men in the new heaven and earth, but there will be a temple built either shortly before or very early in the Tribulation period. That temple will be destroyed, but it will be replaced by the Millennial Temple as described in Ezekiel 40-48. It, too, will be destroyed, when the current universe is burned up and replaced by the new heaven and earth.
Jah rule all things that have life,the kingdom is in us,what make everything happen is Jah thru Yeshua Life of all things.
Just like I believe the “already, but not yet”, I’m also a big believer in “both/and”. Of course we don’t need a third Temple. However, I believe a third Temple will be built. Both/and.
it will definitely be built, but not by God's people, but instead by satan worshippers to fulfill false prophecies and to deceive sleeping Christians
@@bauboni correct
I’m not an evangelical Protestant, but (Eastern) Orthodox, and so much of what Heiser says and writes is very much at home in Orthodoxy. In fact, it appears that his biggest critics are found among his fellow evangelicals.
orthodoxy is heresy so its no wonder you hold to the demonic view hesier said that will decieve many
yes we do need a temple for the end times to come it is written !
We have one. It is "Us".
I submit 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 with particular attention given to verses 3-4.
To say we won't have a 3rd temple is so psuedo. Revelation is clearly symbolic. That same chapter in revelation 21 also says we won't have a sun or moon. You can't possibly believe we won't have the Luminaries anymore. Ezekiel says we will have a 3rd temple & that's just what it is. Or he is a false prophet. Not just him but other prophets in the old testament that spoke of a 3rd temple as well
May I please have the reference where it says in the old testament that prophets speak of a third temple? I want to see please
@@oneman7638 good question.
@@oneman7638
In ezekiel it spans a few chapters around the 40's. But chapter Ezekiel 47 speaks about the design of the 3rd temple. Speaks about a river that flows through the temple. And when this temple is built the healing of the nations begins
@@Hanak-EL John 7:37-39:
“Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.“ Jesus is the Temple from which flow the living waters prophesied by Ezekiel.
What's the use of listening to Michael Heiser if you don't hear him? 😋
@@adeodata6364
Just because jesus is likened unto a river in john 7 doesn't mean every river verse is a cross reference scripture to john 7. That's bad logic. Ezekiel is quite literal. Levi will once again have the priesthood, David will reign, the 12 tribes will return home and have their own portion of land including the tribe of Dan, the temple will be rebuilt with sacrifices resuming. All of this is spoken about in the last 8 chapters of ezekiel
Interesting. How do Dr. Heiser's ideas jive with Rev. 11 (he may answer this in the full-length presentation)? Rev. 11 appears to describe a physical temple. Rev. 21:22 says the temple is not in New Jerusalem. Still, we're not told what happened to the Rev. 11 temple. Zech. 14 is another passage worth examining when considering this Q.
"No we don't need the Third Temple for the End Times" is like saying "we don't need to eat bread anymore because Jesus Christ is our bread of life".
Come on...🤦🏻♂️
The Scripture is very clear that there will be a physical temple on earth during Antichrist's reign.
And the Scripture also says that there will be Levites and sacrifices during Christ's reign in the Millenium.
Good one
Two separate times, Millenium is when Yeshua reigns for 1,000 years and we are talking about a temple built before Yeshua comes, which doesn’t have to happen… please read my post how it is happening now.
@@princezzlily7700 It does have to happen and it will happen. Daniel and Revelation say so.
@@blackgrizzly4987 it will happen but not the way we think it will.
@@princezzlily7700 I don't think anything of myself. The Scripture speaks of a physical temple. Rev 11:2 and Matt. 24 is very straightforward.
Of course the Antichrist will be filled by Satan, as was Judas. That does not mean this is exactly what Scripture means that the Antichrist will sit in the holy place declaring Himself God.
The physical temple always played a major role. Please don't overspiritualize this (applying it it in a spiritual way exclusively) and thus overriding very straightforward statements by the Word of YHWH.
Speaking as a Latter-day Saint I wholeheartedly agree with Dr. Heiser--that in the final analysis the eternal temple is the Body of Christ. Even so, that's not to say that temporary temples of brick and mortar are not useful. We (Latter-day Saints) have at least two hundred temples either in operation or currently under construction. They're different from our regular meeting houses. They have very sacred meaning both because of the sacred ordinances that we perform there and the rich symbolism that stems from temple theology. And so, until the day arrives that we are all united in the heavenly temple, we utilize the earthly temples to help sanctify us in preparation for that perfect day.
How will the abomination of desolation happen if the Temple is not built where will the anti christ enter.
it ALREADY happened, 2000 years ago.
The kingdom is real, its here now. Jesus said it doesnt come with observation, for it is within you.
Daniel 9:20-27 gives the timeline for the 2nd temple up to the baptism and crucifixion.
Verse 4 says “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
Basically meaning that the purpose of the temple is a completed work. It is finished in Christ. Therefore, I agree, there is no need for a temple in that sense. However, the temple was not destroyed until 70 AD so I presume temple functions continued until then, though I suspect unnecessarily. So I see no reason why people not recognising this and following a tradition would not rebuild a temple and continue it's tradition unnecessarily and without Gods blessing. I just think that any such temple built now would not be consecrated of God. It seems to me that since Pentecost, each believer is consecrated by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, buildings are not.
So, trying to wrap my mind around the abomination of desolation, how that occurs, and is seen by all the world if we do not have a physical temple. I'm not there yet.
We have been told about the third temple our whole life as Christians, but we can not prove that through study of HIS word that is the case. Pre trip is also another lie.
I suggested in my dissertation that the glory returning to the temple, which I argue is the community of faith, might be seen in the Fire of the Day of Pentecost.
I'm still confused about Daniel 9:27. Is that not the antichrist going in and stopping the sacrifices and as Nero put a pig on the altar, setting up an object of desecration? Does that mean something else?
Good question. I wonder and surmise that the term “sacrifice” has a range of meaning that resist a singular interpretation.
The term in Hebrew is זֶבַח which carries the meaning of animal sacrifice, but also carries the meaning of Passover, the slaughter of nations, thank offerings, and covenant sacrifices.
To bolster this case, Daniel 12:11 has a very interesting interpretation. Revelation 8:4 redefines offerings as “prayers“. This can be understood by the rapture of the church ending the daily offering of prayer.
See Strongs concordance number 2077.
So to answer to your question, I believe scripture has layers of meaning. The slaughter of a pig and the Jewish temple was a desecration and a foreshadowing.
Much in the same way that the Old Testament patriarchs foreshadow, Jesus.
Yes, we do need a third temple for the end times... Revelation 11.
Confusion caused by not noticing next:
1.
The temple in Ezekiel is temple during 1000 years with Christ with restored sacrificial system.
That's earthly Jerusalem restored, as described in 70 weeks prophecy.
2.
In the New Jerusalem (after 1000 y) described in Revelation ( 21st chapter) there is no temple and no sacrifices.
Also note; measurements of Jerusalem in Ezekiel and the one in Revelation are different - TWO DIFFERENT JERUSALEMS !
Actually, Jesus is the temple , the place where heaven and earth meet. We become a part of a living temple in and through Jesus.
Dr Michael Heiser, God bless your soul, eternity awaited you. Your teachings have meant more to me these past few months concerning our walk with Christ and His revelations to us than anything else. And on this issue I agree entirely. The earlier temples were simply manifestations of the Promise in waiting, in order for the body of the Church as believers in Gods promise in Christ to assume that mantle.
I believe the third temple will be again a move of rebellious denial of Christ once again. Just as they denied Him in the past, they will continue to do so. Revelation 2 vs 9 has a lot to do with this and the coming great deception. The church itself is not a literal building as the end of the age nears... but the hearts of men and women who believe in His advent.
Some ask, ‘ How can the man of perdition stand in the Holy Place and declare himself God’ if the temple isn’t physically built? Recall that Jesus said that, in the latter days many will come saying,” I am he” and “ I am the Christ”. If one looks with a clear eye at the state of the lack of real Biblical discernment in the Church today ( and I’m talking about the genuine believers) and how we so easily are accepting the Celebrity Pastor meme today ( all that is necessary for someone to be considered a “teacher” or a “leader” - think Francis Chan or guys like that - is to have a RUclips channel or to write some books) one can easily see how what the Scriptures describe can be referring to the Body of Christ. Remember, the true Bride will NOT be fooled and will easily recognize that he is the man of perdition but the “foolish maidens” will not.
Revelation 11:1-2
"I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, 'Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.'"
