"MK Zevulun Orlev of the Jewish Home party has called for massive reforms, including new Basic Laws, in order to establish a Third Temple in Jerusalem.
In an article (PDF) published in advance of the fast of Tisha B’Av in the weekly Hebrew journal Olam Katan, entitled “Internal and Legislative Reform,” Orlev wrote that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that “fundamental changes” to Israeli society and government were necessary in order to realize the success of the project."(1)
Plans to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem have been in the works for many years, even to the point of having all of the tools needed, the clothing for the Priests and the red heifer bred for sacrifice. To quibble about there not being a Temple is to discount the fact that it is written in Scripture that the Anti-Christ will desecrate the Temple in the midst of the Tribulation, proclaiming himself to be God.(Daniel 9:27) Jesus, Himself, calls it "the holy place" (Matthew 24:15) and commands us to understand that when the Anti-Christ stands where "it does not belong"(Mark 13:14) Even Paul further interates the fact that there will be a Temple in his admonishion concerning when the Anti-christ sets himself up "in Gods temple"(2 Thessalonians 2:3-4) So, it is definitive that there will be a Temple.
The fact that there is now a Legal process that is calling for the rebuilding of the Temple to be made into a Law further solidifies it's building. The greatest problem is it's location and the fact that the Dome of the Rock as well as the Al Aqsa Mosque are where the Temple belongs. That is a sure basis for a political firestorm, as well as out and out war, to say the least. However, God said there will be one so He has plans afoot to the removal of the above so that it can be built.
