The Ordinary Catholic

The translation by X (which I verified with Google Gemini) says Netanyahu declared the following: “In the last three years, through joint efforts, we have prevented the destruction of the Third Temple…Together, with the help of God, we will ensure the eternity of Israel.” Netanyahu seems to be equating the “Third Temple” with the State of Israel, which he speaks of as “eternal.” But we know who God identifies as His Third and truly “Eternal” Temple: His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Catholic Church, the New Israel spanning both Heaven and earth (which will one day be united), where Jew and Gentile are equal and have access to the Father in Him, through the Holy Spirit. These are completely incompatible theological claims. There is and can only be one Third Temple. Either Jesus Christ was a liar, or He was the Truth Incarnate. There is no third option. To propose another “Third Temple” is to call Jesus Christ a liar. The Fathers are unanimous in their understanding of Scripture: the Jews will initially receive Antichrist as a False Messiah, followed—thank God—by their conversion to Christ (likely via the preaching of Enoch and Elijah, or whoever the Two Witnesses are; my own theory being that the state of the Church and hierarchy will likely be so weak during the Passion of the Church that the Two Witnesses have to make up the difference to help the Jews convert). This False Messiah will undoubtedly at least OFFER to rebuild a “Third Temple” in Jerusalem, as one of his types—Julian the Apostate—tried to do in AD 363. We are no longer in the realm of “conspiracy theories” (a silly, obscurantist term to begin with). We get more and more hints about this agenda from a host of gradually unveiling facts, as well as straight from the mouth of Netanyahu, who has likewise said the State of Israel is the “Lion of Judah,” yet another title that belongs to Jesus Christ, the Son of David. Let those with ears, hear; and those with eyes, see.
