There have been a bunch of articles over the past day throughout the Arab world claiming
that there has been some sort of official approval to build a small
synagogue on the Temple Mount, mostly because of this illustration that is on some Israeli sites showing what one might look like (bottom center, click to enlarge):
Of course, there has been no approval of anything, even though many dedicated Jews would love to see it happen. But whenever there is a whiff of an idea that Jews should be permitted to worship at their holiest place, hypersensitive Arabs go crazy, with officials falling all over themselves to denounce the supposed plans and to enforce the religious apartheid system that exists on the Mount.
Note that even in this supposed plan, the synagogue would not displace any Muslims, being placed in the large open plaza on the southern part of the Mount.
I BELIEVE THE 3RD TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT BY THE DOME OF THE SPIRITS OR TABLETS.RIGHT HERE IN THE FUTURE.DOES NOT INTERFER WITH THE DOME OF THE MURDERERS ONE BIT.

In order for Anti-Messiah to stand “in the Holy Place”
and declare himself to be god, there must be a Third Temple during the
Tribulation Period, and this is an interesting study all in itself.I believe that the archaeological evidence shows that
the Muslim Dome of the Rock is in fact not standing on the site
of the Second Temple as most suppose, but nearly 50 yards to the south of
that spot. Two of the major evidences to that opinion are the location of
the Golden (Eastern) Gate and the Dome of the Tablets, which is also known
as the Dome of the Spirits.The Dome of the Rock is situated approximately 50 yards
south of a direct east-west line from the middle of the Golden Gate. If
you were designing a Temple to the God of the Universe with a surrounding
security wall, and you wanted visitors to the Temple to be totally
awe-struck as they see it for the first time, does it not make sense that
you would locate that Temple in a direct line with the main entrance to
the enclosure? You would want people entering through the main gate of the
city to be immediately struck with a view of the magnificent Temple itself
the instant they enter the gate. If the Temple were located at the
position of the Dome of the Rock, then worshippers would have to enter the
city through the Golden Gate, turn left and travel 50 yards south along
the inside of the city wall, make a hard right turn and climb the stairs
to the main platform, then enter through the main gate of the Temple
grounds into the court of the Gentiles, where they would finally actually
see the Temple for the first time. Much less dramatic! It makes more sense to me, then, that there would be a
direct east-west line from the center of the Golden Gate, through the main
gate of the Temple proper, through the door to the Holy Place, directly
into the Most Holy Place. That being the case, the Most Holy Place, and
the Ark of the Covenant within it, would logically be located due west of
the Golden Gate. Interestingly enough, that is the exact location
of the Dome of the Tablets (marked by the red arrow), as shown in the
photograph below.

west from above the Golden Gate, showing the alignment of the Dome of the Tablets |
The Dome of the Tablets (red arrow, above) is a small
Islamic cupola on the bedrock of the Temple Mount, approximately 50 yards
north of the Dome of the Rock (to your left as you look at this picture).
Nobody knows for sure why it is called “the Dome of the Tablets” but
conjecture is that “Dome of the Tablets” traces back to the “Dome of the
Tablets of the Covenant inside the ark in the Holy of Holies,” and that
“Dome of the Spirits” traces back to “Dome of the Spirit of God that dwelt
in the Holy of Holies.” Archeologist Asher S. Kaufman claims that it marks
the exact spot where the Tablets of the Torah sat within the Ark of the
Covenant in the Most Holy Place. (“Where the Ancient Temple of Jerusalem
Stood. Extant ‘foundation stone’ for the Ark of the Covenant is
identified.” Biblical Archaeology Review, 9:02, Mar/Apr 1983.)

The following diagram from Kaufman’s article shows the
location of the Dome of the Tablets and the Dome of the Rock, with the
proposed location of the First and Second Temples superimposed. This
places the Dome of the Tablets and the Holy of Holies in a direct
east-west line with the Golden Gate (as I feel sure that it must be).
The reason that this is so important is that as long as
the Dome of the Rock stands, the Third Temple cannot be built on that
location, and it is completely unreasonable to think that the Muslim world
will allow the Dome of the Rock to be torn down for a Jewish Temple to be
built. HOWEVER, if the true location of the first two Temples is
in fact marked by the Dome of the Tablets and not by the Dome of the Rock,
then the Third Temple can be built alongside the Dome of the Rock
(below)!

Scripture tells us that Anti-Messiah will either make
or “confirm” (KJV) a “firm covenant” or strong treaty for one week
(literally, “one seven”) of years (Daniel 9:27) which will allow Israel to
live in peace with her Muslim neighbors. Is it not conceivable that one of
the major provisions of that treaty will be that the Third Temple will be
built on Temple Mount next to the Dome of the Rock?? And is it not
likewise conceivable that the man who could negotiate such a treaty would
be accepted by Israel as the Messiah? However the construction of the Third Temple comes
about, Daniel tells us that “in the middle of the week” of that
covenant, Anti-Messiah will “put a stop to sacrifice and grain
offering.” In order for this to be fulfilled, the Third Temple and the
entire Levitical service must be in operation at the time. I therefore
conclude that, by whatever means, the Third Temple will be standing and
full operation during the Tribulation period.At the end of the Tribulation when Messiah returns and
His feet touch down on the Mount of Olives, Zechariah 14:4 tells us
“the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a
very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north
and the other half toward the south.” I believe that this event will cause
the Golden Gate, which has been sealed shut since the first Muslim
invasion, to be opened by that violent earthquake. Since HaShem is a God
of miracles, it is possible that the Third Temple will survive that
earthquake. But since the Scriptures specifically tell us that “all the
nations” will be going up to worship in Jerusalem during the Kingdom
Period, that obviously will require a Temple. So if the Third Temple does
not survive the earthquake caused by His return, then Messiah will need to
construct a temple, which would be the Fourth Temple.At the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Period,
following the Great White Throne Judgment, we see “a new heaven and a new
earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is
no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out
of heaven from God. ... And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among
them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them”
(Rev. 21:1-3) [Presumably the Millennial Temple will have been destroyed
when the “first heaven and the first earth passed away.”] This sentence is
a particularly interesting grammatical construction which leaves room for
two interpretations.The first interpretation (certainly the most
obvious) is that “the tabernacle of God” (the Fifth Temple — or maybe
fourth, if the Third Temple survived the earthquake) comes down as part of
New Jerusalem, and then God “shall dwell among” His people in that Temple
as He did in the original Tabernacle and First Temple, as the visible Shekinah.There is a possible second interpretation that I think
is a bit more interesting (though possibly not more accurate, certainly).John 1:14 tells us that “the Word became flesh, and
dwelt among us.” The word here translated as “dwelt” is literally “tabernacled”
in the Greek text. This would make John 1:14 a direct parallel with Rev.
21:3, thus suggesting the following interpretation: “the tabernacle of
God is among men, and He (the tabernacle of God) shall dwell
among them.” This interpretation would allow the idea that Yeshua
HaMashiach is Himself the literal “tabernacle of God” Who then
dwells among His people. If this interpretation is correct, then the
“tabernacle of God” of New Jerusalem is not a building, but
rather is HaShem Himself in the person of Yeshua HaMashiach dwelling
visibly and physically with His people eternally in the new heaven and new
earth, as suggested by Gan Eden, where Messiah literally walked with them
“in the garden in the cool of the day” (Genesis 3:8). — B"H
I truly hope you got as much enjoyment out of reading this brief study
as I had writing it!-Shalom, b'Mashiach,Ari
