The son of the stranger will minister in my Temple.

by Alejandro Roque Glez.

“Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, The Lord has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, behold, I am a dry tree… Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”

(Isaiah 56: 1-7)

The Temple of God––as we will see in the book of the prophet Ezekiel––shall be rebuilt again. Today it may seem impossible, but soon a local short duration war, which will target the occupation of the city of Jerusalem, is about to arise in the land of Israel. The terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, with Syria and Iran are preparing for it. To make things worse Syria equips Hezbollah with Scud missiles and Iran with vast training and guided missiles. This conflict––already under our noses––will bring a hard blow against the city of Damascus, which will be completely destroyed as the prophet Isaiah told us (17:1). This conflict will hasten a peace treaty in Israel––fake on top of their ignorance–– from where we will see a shine and coming out the global leader described in the Bible and known as the Antichrist; but initially he will be worshiped as a promising figure who was able to finally achieve that desired peace much expected in our world.

To that poor lost world we say: give it no more than three years after signing the false peace treaty, and the globe will be involved and fighting in the worldwide conflict of Al-Megiddo, where the nations of the earth, as predicted the prophet Ezekiel, will contest in the Third World War, burning much of the planet with their thermonuclear power, and bringing untold suffering to all people, without exception.

Upon confirmation of the aforementioned peace treaty in Jerusalem the Third Temple of God will be rebuilt; which will be magnified at the end of World War III with the Coming and presence of Jesus Christ. Before the war begins, the Antichrist or false world leader will come to that Temple and portrait himself as god and messiah for humanity, worthy of praise and divine worship; in his own detriment and as a precondition for the outbreak of the global conflict.

There is something to be included in the Millennium about this passage from the prophet Isaiah; and is that foreigners (v.2-6), Gentile or Christian people not of Jewish ascendant, together with the converted God’s people through the blood of Christ (Rom 9:23-26); they will also be added for the service and daily ministry in the Temple of God, and after the Advent of Jesus.

God will take among them for priests and levites (Is 66:20-21). Here it emphasizes that when those times come, the day for worshiping God (v.2, 4, 6) will be on saturday, the seventh day, and fulfilled by all nations of the earth forever: “it shall come to pass, that from month to month, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, said the Lord Yahweh” (Is 66:23).

As we said, the Temple will be rebuilt again (v.5, 7) in Jerusalem (Ez 43:2, 5-7, 9, 48:35) and it will be called a house of prayer for all peoples of the earth, as a testimony to the Sacred History and knowledge of new generations born during the Millennium which did not know about the past. One of the functions related to the Millenarian Kingdom of Jesus Christ is to demonstrate in a conclusive way that if men had lived in faith and according to the commandments, statutes and laws revealed in the Holy Scriptures, human history would have been quite different, filled with purpose and happiness.

Once after the Millennium that Temple will have no longer any reason to exist with its rituals and then we will watch the eternal Jerusalem coming down from heaven, with God on his throne, under a new heaven (66:22), with one people of God glorifying the eternal life consecrated in the grace of the Lord (Rev 21:1-5).

If you do believe it, you will see it with your own eyes, despite now it appears unreal for the human understanding.
