I know you and Trump don't like anything Obama, but Obama did the right thing with the UN veto. Israel shouldn't be allowed to keep encroaching on Palestinian lands with their settlements.
That said, I know full well what the temple means to Christians. I grew up with it, and was soused with it in the local church.
The temple has to be functioning for Jesus to come back, for the son of perdition to sit in it and pronounce himself to be God (sounds like something Trump would do).
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
This has been a deep longing ever since right after Jesus left this earth, and since Paul, who thought that the end times was near, within their lifetime.
And 2000 years later Christians are still longing for the return of Jesus. Some are willing to do something about it, to do anything to make it happen.
We even have a couple of members on this forum that actually tried to blow up the temple mount so Israel can rebuild the temple.
But methinks such antics are nothing short of Cargo Cult thinking and methods ; or attempts to arrange everything just right so God will send the cargo.
I say, after 2000 years, maybe we should be real people of God and busy ourselves with trying to make the world a better safer place for everyone to live in, and not be trying to arrange things that's just going to make the world worse off.
It's not Christian to want our Jesus so bad that we don't care about our neighbors, and just want them -- Jesus killers and all the rest that don't believe in Jesus' salvation, most of the world populous -- to fry like crispy critters. It's not Jesus like to be selfish like that.
