Will there be animal sacrifices in the Third Temple in the Millenial kingdom age?

Answered by BibleQ . April 17, 2023 - 8:05 pm

As BibleQ does not have an answer on this question we duplicate here an article by George Booker: Animal sacrifice in the Kingdom? It is proposed, first of all, to consider the main issue: the fitness of animal sacrifice in the millennial kingdom; then, secondly, to outline an alternative view to the traditional interpretation […]

If a priest died in the temple, did the temple have to be re-cleansed before another priest entered?

Answered by BibleQ . February 18, 2014 - 10:35 am

The rest of this question: And what was the process of the cleansing of the temple done? How long did it take? There is no record in Scripture, that I can recall, of a priest dying in the temple or tabernacle. There are no specific instructions for cleansing of the temple in the event of […]

Will there be a need for sacrifices in the new temple? (Ezekiel chapters 40-48)

Answered by BibleQ . May 21, 2013 - 1:48 am

In the New Testament we read that “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” (Heb 10:4) and that “we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb 10:10). And yet Ezekiel 40-48 seems to speak of a future temple in […]

What is the difference between the temples of Solomon, Hezekiah, Zerubbabel and Herod?

Answered by BibleQ . September 30, 2012 - 7:02 pm

Originally, Israel did not have a temple. Instead, they had a tent (called the tabernacle in some versions of the Bible) which was the centre of their worship and the place where God was said to dwell (Exodus 25:8-9). King David wanted to build a temple but God said that his son Solomon would build […]

Answered by BibleQ . February 22, 2012 - 9:19 pm

Joel 2:17 Let the priests, those who serve the LORD, weep from the vestibule all the way back to the altar. Let them say, “Have pity, O LORD, on your people; please do not turn over your inheritance to be mocked, to become a proverb among the nations. Why should it be said among the […]

Where does God dwell?

Answered by BibleQ . October 6, 2011 - 1:11 pm 1

We cannot be sure about the physical characteristics of God, so when we talk about God dwelling somewhere, it is probably not in the same sense as people dwell. Jesus tells us in John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. Jesus is in heaven at the […]

What happened to the Tabernacle in the wilderness and the artifacts of the holy place and the holy of holies?

Answered by BibleQ . February 20, 2011 - 4:24 pm

The tabernacle was constructed in about 1444BC, while the people of Israel were in the wilderness after escaping from Egypt. When they entered the promised land under Joshua, the tabernacle was located at Gilgal (Joshua 4:19). Later it was moved to Shiloh (Joshua 18:1-10). By about 1000BC it had moved to Gibeon (1 Chronicles 16:39). After […]

Do you have any information about the red heifers that are in Israel today?

According to Numbers 19:2, “a red heifer without defect” was required for the ritual of purification. An organisation called The Temple Institute is committed to searching for a red heifer without blemish as part of its preparations for the construction of a new temple in Jerusalem. The Temple Institute previously claimed in 1997 and again […]

Did Jesus participate in sacrifices at the Temple?

Answered by BibleQ . September 11, 2010 - 5:40 pm

When Jesus was a baby, sacrifices were offered as part of his consecration (see Luke 2:22-24). We also know that Jesus went to Jerusalem at Passover time (see How many times did Jesus attend the Passover celebration?). Part of the Passover festival involved sacrifice at the temple (Deuteronomy 16:5-7). Then he went to the Feast […]

Is there any biblical reference to the rebuilding of the third temple?

Answered by BibleQ . July 3, 2010 - 6:51 pm 3

The first temple was the one built by Solomon (1 Kings 6:1) beginning in 966 BC. The second temple was built by Zerubbabel (Ezra 5:2), beginning in 530BC. Although Herod rebuilt the temple just before Jesus was born, his temple is still called the “second temple”. The third temple is the one to come. Some people […]
