Bible experts believe the return of Christ will be preceded by the building of a Third Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Rumours of the Temple’s imminent construction have now sent conspiracy theorists into an apocalyptic frenzy. Some prominent doomsday preachers believe Donald Trump advisor Jared Kushner is in the Middle East at this moment to secure a peace deal, which includes the building of the Third Temple. A vocal supporter of this biblical theory is Christian evangelist Paul Begley from West Lafayette in Indiana, US, who believes biblical prophecy is being fulfilled right before his eyes.
According to the firebrand preacher, the Third Temple in Jerusalem will house the Messiah in the days of the biblical apocalypse.
Pastor Begley said: “You know, the Third Temple looks like it is on the table of this Middle East peace deal.
“I’m getting information. I don’t want to say nothing else about that.
“But Jared Kushner is in the Middle East right now and he’s going to meet six nations.

“Turkey’s one of them, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, ok? There’s six nations there.
“And he’s talking to them about this Middle East peace deal and he’s going to give them the private revelation of how this thing’s going to work. This is huge.”
A number of passages in the Bible allude to the Third Temple returning to Jerusalem before the end of the world.
The first Holy Temple of Jerusalem, Solomon’s Temple, was built on the ancient city’s Temple Mount.

The temple was toppled by a Babylonian siege led by King Nebuchadnezzar II in 587BC.
A Second Temple was then built sometime in the sixth century BCE but was destroyed by the Romans as punishment for a Jewish revolt.
If the Third Temple is built in Jerusalem today, it will fulfil a prophecy outlined in the Bible’s Daniel 9:27.
The scripture in question reads: “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”

The desolation of abomination mentioned by the Bible is the supposed arrival of the Antichrist who will attempt to enter the Third Temple in the end days.
Pastor Begley said when the Third Temple rises, scores of faithful people from around the globe will flock to Jerusalem to worship the returned King – Jesus Christ.
The Christian preacher said: “A curse will come upon them if they don’t come to worship the Messiah.
“Where? In Jerusalem, in the Third Temple, during the Feast of Tabernacles.
“See, you have to understand folks this temple isn’t the house for the Antichrist, this is the house for Jesus Christ.”
