The Myth of a Third Temple: Why It’s Not Biblical. One of the most sensational ideas in modern prophecy teaching is the claim that the Bible predicts a Third Temple in Jerusalem. According to this view, a new temple must be built before Christ returns, complete with sacrifices and priestly rituals. This teaching has fueled political movements, inspired fundraising campaigns, and shaped much of popular “end-times” preaching.

Interpretations of Revelation: Three Views Explained. The Book of Revelation has been the subject of more speculation, more sensationalism, and more confusion than perhaps any other book in the Bible. To understand Revelation properly, we must first understand the three main interpretive views: Futurism, Idealism, and Preterism. Each offers a lens, but only one aligns with the weight of biblical and historical evidence.

Futurism: A New End Times Teaching. Futurism teaches that most of Revelation—especially chapters 4–22—describes events that are still to come. This includes a supposed seven-year tribulation, a personal Antichrist, the rebuilding of a third temple in Jerusalem, a revived Roman Empire, and the rapture of the church. It is closely tied to Dispensational theology and is popularized through the Scofield Bible, prophecy conferences, and books like Left Behind.
