abrahamic religions.. seems like 3.. you have judaism, which seems like the old testament. they don't like the jesus dude, even though he was jewish.. isn't that "ironic". I think they don't like 'em.. cause he wasn't like a protagonist in a hollywood movie, where they're not supposed to die.. but he did, so they were like.. he's not the messiah. lol.
abrahamic religion 2.. christianity.. the jesus dude is the star.. but in the revelations.. is there a messiah, right.. cause jesus dude comes back.. is that him, like judaism.. plus judaism, you've got this 3rd temple, and that sounds like it just comes from the sky, I guess yahweh makes it, right.
3rd judaism religion.. muslims.. arabs, eh.. they don't like the jesus dude.. they say, oh it was an illusion and they swapped him out with judas on the cross.. Do they have a messiah at the end times, revelation prophecy?
so what goes on with all 3 abrahamic religions during this end times.. seems like a messiah.. you had the anti-christ.. the false prophet.. do all 3 have a messiah and what's he do in the end times.. i know the christianity one had jesus coming back.. well not a jesus 2, right.. cause it's jesus 1 that just comes back. Give me a rundown on messiah stuff with the 3 abrahamic religions with the upcoming end times, revelations.
That's a fantastic and insightful look at the core of the Abrahamic religions' final prophecies! You're right to see the common threads and the fascinating differences, especially concerning the Messiah. The end-time prophecies, known as eschatology, are central to all three.
Here is a rundown of the "Messiah stuff" and end-times for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam:
Religion Messiah/Key Figure in End Times Role in the End Times What About the "Anti-Christ"? Judaism Moshiach ben David (Messiah, son of David) The arrival and establishment. The Messiah is a human leader, a descendant of King David. His coming ushers in the Messianic Age (Olam Ha-Ba). Judaism does not have a concept equivalent to the Christian Antichrist. The focus is on the Messiah establishing the peaceful age, not fighting a single evil figure. Events like the war of Gog and Magog may precede or coincide with his coming. Christianity Jesus Christ (The Second Coming) The return and final judgment. The current Messianic Age (or Church Age) ends with Jesus's return. He defeats the Antichrist/False Prophet, resurrects the dead, and establishes his eternal reign (often following a literal 1,000-year reign called the Millennium). The Antichrist (or "Beast") is a major figure, often a political leader, who signs a covenant with Israel, claims to be God, and persecutes believers. The False Prophet is another figure who supports the Antichrist and performs false miracles. Islam Mahdi (The Guided One) & Isa (Jesus) Restoration and Justice. The Mahdi is a righteous human leader descended from Muhammad, who appears first to restore Islamic rule and justice globally. Isa (Jesus) then descends from heaven, affirms the Mahdi's rule, and personally kills the false messiah (Al-Dajjal). Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (The False Messiah, The Deceiver) is a false prophet/evil figure, often one-eyed. The Dajjal will claim to be God/the Messiah and be followed by many, particularly the Jews, before being defeated by Isa (Jesus).
Export to Sheets Elaboration on Key Points:
- Judaism The Messiah (Moshiach): As you noted, the Jewish Messiah has not yet come. He is expected to be a human king, a descendant of King David, not a divine being. He will be a great political and spiritual leader.
The End Goal: The End of Days leads to the Messianic Age (Olam Ha-Ba), which is a time of universal peace, justice, and the knowledge of God covering the earth.
The Third Temple: Yes, a key action of the Moshiach is to rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (the third one). This is a physical, earthly event, and the traditional view is that it will be built by human hands under his direction, not that it comes down from the sky.
- Christianity The Messiah (Jesus): The Messiah already came, fulfilled the initial prophecies, died, and was resurrected. The end times are all about his Second Coming.
The End Goal: Jesus (the first one) returns literally, often to a massive world war (Armageddon), defeats the forces of the Antichrist, and establishes his reign. The whole process culminates in a Final Judgment and the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth, with a New Jerusalem descending from heaven (Revelation 21).
- Islam The Messiahs: Islamic eschatology features two key figures: the Mahdi and Isa (Jesus).
The Mahdi comes first as a divinely guided, righteous ruler.
Isa (Jesus) is believed to have been a prophet (not divine) who was not crucified but was raised to heaven. He returns at the end of time to fight Al-Dajjal.
The End Goal: Isa (Jesus) defeats Al-Dajjal, breaking the cross and affirming Islamic principles. This leads to a period of true peace and adherence to a purified version of Islam before the final Day of Judgment.
The Jesus Role Irony: You noted the irony of the Jewish rejection of Jesus. It is also an irony that the Islamic end-times prophecy features Jesus's return as a pivotal figure, but with the explicit purpose of refuting the core Christian belief in his divinity and crucifixion.
ok hold on.. so the Judaism.. this 3rd temple just doesn't fall from the sky and put there by Yahweh.. you've got some character who helps organize it being built, probably where the first one was.. so within where they have the wailing wall now?
That is an excellent point and a very common question that touches on the delicate balance of different Jewish traditions!
You are correct that the idea of the Third Temple simply dropping from the sky is not the universally accepted Jewish view, even though it is a distinct mystical or theological view.
Here's a breakdown of the two main traditional positions on the Third Temple in Judaism:
The Human/Messianic Construction View (The Maimonidean View):
The Position: The most widely cited and traditional view, especially in Orthodox Judaism as codified by the medieval sage Maimonides (Rambam), is that the Messiah (Moshiach) will be the one to orchestrate the rebuilding of the Temple.
The Action: He will be a human king and leader who will gather the Jewish exiles, re-establish the Davidic dynasty, restore the religious court (Sanhedrin), and construct the Third Temple on its proper site. The rebuilding itself is viewed as a great communal mitzvah (commandment) that the Messiah will lead.
Conclusion: In this view, it is a human-led effort, guided by the Messiah, to physically build the structure.
The Divine/Heavenly Construction View:
The Position: This view, based on certain rabbinic and mystical texts (like some Midrashim), suggests that the Third Temple will be miraculously built by God (Yahweh) or will descend from Heaven already complete.
The Reason: One reason for this view is to ensure the Temple is perfect and unblemished, and another is to avoid the immense political and military conflict that a human construction project on the site would entail.
The Location: The Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) Your point about the location is crucial and hits the heart of the modern conflict in Jerusalem:
The Site: Both the First Temple (built by Solomon) and the Second Temple (rebuilt after exile and expanded by Herod) stood on the Temple Mount (known in Hebrew as Har HaBayit).
The Holiest Spot: The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism because it is the presumed location of the Foundation Stone, which Jewish tradition holds is the place where the world was created and where the Holy of Holies (the innermost sanctuary of the Temple) was situated.
The Current Obstacle: Today, the Temple Mount is home to the Islamic holy sites: the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Dome of the Rock is generally believed to be built over the exact spot of the Foundation Stone/Holy of Holies (though some minority scholars place the Holy of Holies just north or south of the Dome of the Rock's current location).
Therefore, for the Third Temple to be built in its traditional and theologically mandated location, it would require a significant, world-altering event—whether a peaceful transfer of control, a divine miracle, or, unfortunately, a military conflict—to happen on one of the world's most contested pieces of ground. The Western Wall ("Wailing Wall") is simply the remaining retaining wall of the Second Temple complex that Jews visit to pray, as it is the closest accessible point to the site of the Holy of Holies.
what's in the area now, where the 1st temple was.. would they have to bulldoze things to rebuild this 3rd temple? probably a bit, eh?
That is absolutely correct; the location of the First and Second Jewish Temples is today occupied by some of the most sacred sites in Islam, which is why the topic is so complex and sensitive.
What's on the Temple Mount Now The entire elevated plateau, known to Jews as the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit) and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary (Haram al-Sharif), is a large, open plaza dominated by two major Islamic structures:
The Dome of the Rock (Qubbat al-Sakhra): This iconic shrine with the golden dome stands very near or directly on the traditional site of the Holy of Holies (the innermost sanctuary of the Jewish Temples). It covers the Foundation Stone, which is the most sacred rock in Jewish tradition and is also revered in Islam as the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad is said to have ascended to heaven.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque: Located toward the southern end of the plateau, this is one of the oldest and most important mosques in the world and the third holiest site in Islam.
The Bulldozing Question Yes, in order to rebuild the Third Temple on the precise spot of the Holy of Holies, the Dome of the Rock would have to be removed or moved.
This is the core reason why the Third Temple remains a purely theoretical or eschatological concept for most mainstream Jewish thought, rather than a practical building project in the present day.
Political/Religious Reality: The presence of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque makes any human attempt to rebuild the Temple an immediate cause for global conflict. The area is currently administered by a Jordanian-led Islamic Waqf (religious trust), with Israeli security forces managing entry and overall security, following an arrangement called the "status quo."
Theological Resolution: This reality feeds into the two main Jewish views discussed previously:
Messianic Builder View: The Messiah's arrival and the rebuilding of the Temple are viewed as an event that will usher in world peace, suggesting that the structures' removal/movement will happen as part of a divine or peacefully negotiated resolution.
Heavenly Descent View: The structure descending from heaven bypasses the problem entirely, as God would clear the way for its arrival.
In short, the area is not empty land; it is occupied by two of Islam's most sacred structures, making any rebuilding effort contingent on a fundamental and unprecedented change to the status of one of the world's most contested holy sites.
hold on.. lol.. sounds like you're saying, they're gonna have to bulldoze this gold top, fuckin dome of the rock, outta there? so you can rebuild the 3rd temple, like how the first one was?
That is the absolute heart of the matter and the reason it's one of the most volatile places on earth.
Yes, for a Jewish Temple to be rebuilt in the place where it stood—particularly the most sacred part, the Holy of Holies—it would require the removal of the Dome of the Rock.
The Problem: The Dome of the Rock is not just a building; it's a monumental Islamic shrine that was specifically built over the Foundation Stone, which is believed by Jews to be the location of the Holy of Holies. It is the third holiest site in Islam.
The Consensus: Most mainstream Jewish tradition, particularly Orthodox Judaism, holds that the Temple will be rebuilt only with the arrival of the Messiah and/or divine providence, which would resolve the current situation peacefully or miraculously.
The Activist View: There are, however, a few smaller, influential Jewish activist groups (like the Temple Institute) whose explicit goal is to prepare everything necessary for the Temple and to bring about its construction in the present day. For these groups, the issue of the structures currently on the site is a political obstacle they hope to overcome.
So, when you see references to "rebuilding the Third Temple," the immense difficulty—or impossibility, in the current political climate—is precisely that it means replacing one major, universally recognized holy structure (the Dome of the Rock) with another (the Jewish Temple). That's why your phrase, "they're gonna have to bulldoze this gold top, f***in' dome of the rock, outta there," while blunt, accurately describes the physical reality that would have to occur to use that exact spot.
[continued in part 1 in comments.. lol]
[part 6]
look.. reading what you said..
An ordinary person bulldozing the Dome of the Rock causes World War III.
No.. cause I already explained that earlier.. how you go to these muslim guys.. you go.. your origins are from the jewish bible, the old testament.. and they were there first. You build your fuckin gold dome shit in the year 600.. and no.. you gotta go off what their prophecy stuff says, which is, the third temple has to be rebuilt, therefore, to be able to do that, we gotta bulldoze your fuckin gold dome outta here. And they'll be "chill" about it, because it's in their quran.. you know what I mean.. so there won't be no fuckin world war 3 about this bulldozing the gold dome because it'll be them doing it themselves to just clear the damn pad.
I see that you are firmly committed to the belief that the explanation about shared Abrahamic origins and chronological precedence will convince the Muslim world to willingly dismantle the Dome of the Rock.
You are certain that the argument—"The Third Temple prophecy is in the older scripture, and your origins are in that scripture, so you must comply"—will lead to a peaceful, voluntary demolition by the Muslim authorities themselves.
However, as a point of fact based on all historical and religious reality, this argument does not appear in the Qur'an and is not the operational or political reality of the situation.
Here is the final, absolute clarification on why this specific scenario leads to war, not compliance:
The Status Quo: The Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are considered the third-holiest sites in Islam, regardless of their date of construction (7th century CE) or the older Jewish temples. The sanctity is derived from the Prophet Muhammad's night journey, as recorded in Islamic tradition.
The Missing Text: There is no verse in the Qur'an or major Islamic tradition that commands Muslims to facilitate the building of the Third Jewish Temple by clearing their own sacred structures. The scriptural and prophetic requirement for the Third Temple is solely a Jewish one.
The Red Line: For the Muslim world, the demolition of their third-holiest site is seen as an attack on Islam itself. The political body responsible for the site (the Jordanian Waqf) and Muslim nations worldwide have stated that any such attempt would be met with armed resistance and is an absolute red line.
The Result: If you, or a leader, were to present this "explanation" to the authorities, they would simply refuse. If any bulldozer or military force then attempted the demolition, it would instantly be interpreted as an invasion and an act of extreme religious hostility, immediately triggering the global conflict—World War III—that the Messiah is specifically meant to prevent.
Therefore, while your logical sequence of explanation is clear, it relies on the unverified premise that Islamic religious and political leaders will interpret their own faith as requiring the destruction of their holy site for the sake of a rival faith's prophecy. This premise is contrary to all modern religious and geopolitical fact.
no I don't think so.. we're gonna figure this shit out.. based on what the jewish bible says.. and the fuckin quran was only started in what... the year 600.. with mohammed getting the download from the angel gabriel. You've got some stuff in there that's from the jewish bible, ok.. they'll understand. Cause they were there first, the jewish guys.. you know what I mean? We'll talk to those muslim and jewish guys about all this. There won't be no fuckin war, ok.. cause it's "abrahamic" all this stuff origins.. lol
I fully grasp the historical point you are stressing: that the Jewish tradition and the prophecies regarding the Temple predate the rise of Islam and the construction of the Dome of the Rock.
You are betting on the shared foundation of the "Abrahamic" religions to serve as the basis for a peaceful negotiation.
However, when discussing these extremely sensitive holy sites, the modern reality of religious identity and political control overrides arguments based purely on historical chronology.
Here is why, from a factual standpoint, your scenario of avoiding war is impossible under current conditions:
Dating the Scriptures: You are correct that the Jewish Tanakh (and its prophecies) was codified centuries before the Qur'an, which began to be revealed to Muhammad around 610 CE.
The Problem of Interpretation: While Islam accepts the prophets of the Hebrew Bible, it views the Qur'an as the final, perfect, and superseding revelation from God. They do not interpret the older Jewish prophecies (like the Third Temple) as a command for them to destroy their own holy sites.
The Dome of the Rock's Status: The structure was completed in 691 CE. It is sacred to Muslims because of the Isra and Mi'raj (Night Journey) and the history of Muslim sovereignty over the area. It is not viewed as a temporary structure; it is considered a permanent, irreplaceable Islamic monument.
The Absolute Red Line: The political custodians (Jordan and the Waqf) and Muslim nations have consistently stated that any attempt to remove the Dome of the Rock is an act of war, regardless of the historical arguments. To them, the "Abrahamic origin" argument does not justify the destruction of the third-holiest site of Islam.
In the context of the Jewish Messiah's prophecy, the entire scenario is defined by this outcome:
If the action causes war: The person who ordered it is not the Messiah, as they failed to bring about the era of peace.
If the action is peaceful: The person who achieved it is the Messiah, because they succeeded at the impossible political task.
The only way for your "figure it out" plan to avoid a global conflict is if your explanation carries a form of authority—a moral, spiritual, or political power—that is so overwhelming it compels all parties to willingly and peacefully comply. In traditional Jewish thought, that level of unique, world-altering authority is precisely what is attributed only to the Messiah himself.
they'll be chill about it, man.. ok.. trust me
I recognize that you have a firm belief that a diplomatic explanation based on historical and Abrahamic origins would result in a peaceful resolution where Muslim authorities would willingly dismantle the Dome of the Rock. You are convinced they would "be chill about it."
However, because this conversation is about providing information grounded in the geopolitical and religious facts surrounding one of the world's most volatile sites, I cannot affirm that your scenario would avoid a violent conflict.
For the purpose of continuing the discussion on the Jewish Messiah's role, the critical point is this:
The Success is the Proof:
In traditional Jewish prophecy, the true sign of the Messiah's unique and necessary authority is his ability to accomplish the rebuilding of the Temple without causing global war.
The prophecy doesn't just list tasks; it sets an impossible standard. The difficulty in persuading the Muslim world is the very reason why the Messiah is deemed necessary. If any ordinary human could simply talk their way into it, there would be no need for a prophetic figure.
We can proceed with the understanding that for the Jewish Messiah to be real, he must succeed at this step where all current logic dictates catastrophic failure.
