10 Minute Topics: Third Beit HaMikdash

The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Third Beit HaMikdash.

Since the destruction of the Second Beit HaMikdash by the Romans in 70 CE, Jews have prayed that Hashem will hasten the building of the Third Beit HaMikdash on the Har Habayit. This prayer is part of the three daily prayers of the Jewish people.1 This Beit HaMikdash will be the fourth Beit HaMikdash on the Har HaBayit but is referred to as the Third Beit HaMikdash. The Temple Scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Ezekiel chapters 40-47 describe the Third Beit HaMikdash. The prophets of the Tanach state that the building of the Third Beit HaMikdash is a sign of the Messianic Age.

Thank you. Excellent presentation, as usual. Would like to know what translation of the Torah you were reading out of. Also, have you ever considered putting these 10-minute lessons in book form. I think they would be an invaluable asset in ancient , middle eastern , biblical, and Jewish history classes?

Thank you.

Generally I use the Complete Jewish Bible from the Chabad site. There is a link to it in the description.

Yes, I have toyed with writing a book. It would take a lot of rewriting and I just don't have the time right now.

אני רוצה את הבית המקדש השלישי עכשיו

@YaakovSarafian If you want to know how it will end and who will be involved read Ezekeil chapters 38 and 39..God will protect Israel and reveal his hand to the world.

May it happens as your words... The only problem is that such iranian attack would destroy all Jerusalem - it would be a nuclear attack... May those two abominated mosques disappear for ever and ever... Shalom al kol yehudim!!!

[draconusrex33]

it would be ironic if during the upcoming war with Iran if Iran accidentally destroyed the Muslim abomination.

Amen!
