Just found this mockup of what the Jews think their Third Temple will be like:
1.45 on this:
It includes an altar to be used for animal sacrifices although Jesus ended such sacrifices.
But curiously there is a claim that fire erupts and burns attempts to build a new temple though the Muslims had no such problem building their Satanic Dome on the site in 691-2 AD!
Can we believe it? Is it some old wive's tale? Or a warning from GOD that the Jews were pagans and Jesus himself will be the third temple?
Wiki: 'According to later ancient sources, including Sozomen (c. 400–450 CE) in his Historia Ecclesiastica and the pagan historian and close friend of Julian, Ammianus Marcellinus, the project of rebuilding the temple was aborted because each time the workers tried to build the temple using the existing substructure, they were burned by terrible flames coming from inside the earth and an earthquake destroyed what work was done.
Julian thought to rebuild at an extravagant expense the proud Temple once at Jerusalem, and committed this task to Alypius of Antioch. Alypius set vigorously to work, and was seconded by the governor of the province; when fearful balls of fire, breaking out near the foundations, continued their attacks, till the workmen, after repeated scorchings, could approach no more: and he gave up the attempt.'
