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 8]
ah you can't do "next to it" cause you got the rock down there..
That's an excellent point and a common misconception about the entire Temple Mount complex.
The reason it's so difficult to just "build next to it" is because the Dome of the Rock is built over the peak of the mountain—the Foundation Stone—and that rock is not just a little stone, it is the exposed bedrock of Mount Moriah.
To clarify your thought:
The "Rock" is Huge: The whole elevated platform is built on and around this original mountain peak. The Foundation Stone inside the Dome of the Rock is not a small relic; it is a large, irregularly shaped outcrop of the mountain's natural bedrock.
Location, Location, Location: Jewish tradition places the Holy of Holies—the absolute center of the Temple—directly on top of or immediately adjacent to that Foundation Stone.
The Geometry Problem: Since the Dome of the Rock is built to enclose and protect that Foundation Stone, any spot "next to" the Dome would likely be outside the traditionally defined area of the original Temple's inner courtyard, or even the Temple building itself.
In short, for the Third Temple to fulfill its religious requirements, the Holy of Holies needs to be on that specific piece of bedrock, and the Dome of the Rock is already there, making a simple "next door" solution seem impossible to many of the movement's proponents.
So what the fuck you gonna do.. sounds like they're "pissy" about trying to build the 3rd temple, where it's pretty big.. so that gold dome can just be in there.. where it is. What's the problem with that again?
That's the ultimate political and religious deadlock. While your idea of building a large Third Temple around the smaller Dome of the Rock seems like a practical compromise, here is the fundamental problem from the perspective of the different religious and activist groups:
The Problem: The Dome is On the Most Sacred Spot The conflict isn't about sharing the Temple Mount plateau; it's about the exact central point of the plateau.
Group/Concept Why the Golden Dome Can't Just Be There Third Temple Activists (Jewish) The Holy of Holies: They believe the Dome of the Rock is sitting directly on the Foundation Stone, which is the site of the Holy of Holies in the original Jewish Temple. The Holy of Holies must be a small, enclosed, empty space where the Ark of the Covenant rested (or would rest). You can't put a massive, sacred Islamic shrine inside the most sacred, restricted area of the Jewish Temple. The Temple architecture itself demands that spot be the altar or the Holy of Holies. Muslim Authorities (Waqf) Sovereignty: They view the entire elevated area (Haram al-Sharif) as an exclusive Islamic holy site. Even if a Jewish Temple were built "next to" the Dome, it would be seen as a grave violation of the status quo and an attempt by Israel to illegally claim and divide the territory. To them, the presence of the Dome and Al-Aqsa Mosque proves the entire area is theirs. Mainstream Orthodox Judaism Ritual Purity: Many mainstream rabbis forbid Jews from even setting foot on the Temple Mount today, precisely because no one is certain of the exact boundaries of the Holy of Holies. They fear accidentally defiling the area where the Holy of Holies stood, which would happen if a massive foreign structure (like the Dome) were incorporated into a rebuilt Temple structure.
Export to Sheets In essence, your idea is blocked by sacred geography (the Dome is on the exact wrong spot for the Holy of Holies) and political sovereignty (no one would permit a Temple complex to be built around or next to the existing shrines). The only way to build the Temple, for the activists, is to clear the site entirely.
well it sounds like the only way is you gotta try and talk to the muslims and say.. hey.. that's the only deal the jews want is to get the fuckin dome outta there and you guys gotta be "chill" about it. Then they can build their 3rd temple.
What you gotta remember here.. is these "noobs" only started their shit in the year 600.. so they're kind of losing there.. Where.. Judaism, the old testament.. they're kind of "right", eh.. where these new guys came along and built their shit on their place. So it's the muslims who are chumps. And they're using the same origins in their bible.. so all you gotta do is talk to them about chilling out and leave the Jews do what they want, for once. lol. They're "right" though, eh.. cause they were there first. lol
That line of thinking gets to the very core of the deep historical and religious claims that make the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) the most contested piece of real estate in the world.
You are hitting on the central argument made by Jewish groups pushing for the Third Temple: the claim of precedence and original ownership of the holy site.
Here is a breakdown of the claims and why a simple conversation asking the Muslims to "be chill" is essentially impossible in the current context:
The Argument: Since the two Temples were on that spot for roughly a thousand years before Islam existed, Jewish proponents argue their right to the site and the rebuilding of the Third Temple is pre-eminent and non-negotiable.
The Argument:
The Night Journey: Muslims revere the site because it is believed to be the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven (the Mi'raj), which is associated with the rock inside the Dome.
Continuous Control: Muslims have maintained continuous religious administration over the site for well over a thousand years (except for the Crusader period). In their view, the Jewish Temples are ancient history, and the site is now and has been, for centuries, an exclusive Islamic sanctuary.
Shared Origin Argument: While Muslims do recognize the prophets of the Hebrew Bible (Abraham, Moses, etc.) as their own prophets, they believe Islam is the final, true, and uncorrupted revelation. They view the entire area as belonging to the universal tradition of Abraham (Haneefiya), which Islam now guards.
The Standoff The core issue is that neither side accepts the historical argument as sufficient reason to abandon their current position:
For the Jews: Giving up the right to rebuild the Temple on the correct spot means giving up a central theological and messianic tenet of their faith.
For the Muslims: Giving up the Dome of the Rock means giving up the third holiest site in their religion and admitting defeat in a millennia-long fight for sovereignty over Jerusalem. It would be viewed as an intolerable humiliation to the entire Islamic world.
Because the claims are rooted in deep faith, history, and national identity, no Muslim leader could "be chill" about removing the Dome of the Rock without facing immense backlash, which is why the situation remains an explosive political deadlock.
[end of conversation.. going to sleep]
Anayzling this later when I got up. It seems like they gotta get the gold dome place outta there. To do that, you'd have to deal with those muslim guys. Explain to them, how.. it's stemming from the same Abrahamic religion. They just gotta get it outta there, what can you do.. maybe move it nearby but they gotta clear out the pad area to rebuild the third temple.
I think they'd get kind of pissy if you told them to just move it to mecca or something. So they'd probably want it nearby where it is. What would get bulldozed then. Maybe get a park or something. I thought about that area by the bus depot on the hill.. that whole cemetery. If you got no room, you could clear all that out and relocate the cemetery. Now you're getting into the, uh.. Poltergeist movie scenario. So that's probably a really bad idea. You'd have to check google earth for an area "nearby". Well, you do have the caverns "under". Not much height though, so probably a no go. Let me check google earth for a park or something and how big this gold dome place is.
Looking at it in google earth.. you've got this gold dome place.. that seems to be called the "temple mount". To the east, like half a kilometer is this "mount of olives" with green area, where people wouldn't have to get kicked out. Move that shit over, and everybody pipes down with the bickering. Then they can move more towards the end times prophecy of checking off stuff on the list. This rebuilding the third temple.
So.. these muslim guys, it's them who's holding up all this. So they're the chumps. Cause the abrahamic religion, the Judaism stuff is part of their religion too, so they gotta chill out. They're just doing what that earlier stuff says. If they keep being "stubborn" and don't get the fuck outta there, you'll never get to the end times prophecy.
Since they're "religious", you gotta do the "service to others", instead of the "service to self", like they're doing. They gotta help out their buddies. For once, just do what the Israel guys are trying to do. Like how about those people in that area there.. where is that in the news all the time.. Gaza strip, I think. The Palestinians. Israel seems all uptight about these guys.. so for once, just do what they fuckin want and they'll quit being pissy. Those guys, I have no clue what the fuck is going on there.. lol.. but at least it's not this gold dome shit, where they gotta be there. So.. the gaza strip shit.. sounds like israel wants that area back, for whatever reason. Just choose some damn land, somewhere else, the size of it. Whatever with those guys though, at least it's not holding up the rebuilding the 3rd temple, you know what I mean. But just get some land somewhere else, even some other fuckin country, if they got that much of a beef about these guys. But they might wanna be by the some water like they were, so that's a bit of a bitch, with all the relocating. I don't know what religion those palestinian guys are, probably muslim. So, talk to some muslim country in the area, by water like they are, and go, hey.. lets just move these guys over there. Like holy fuck with all this shit, eh. Not gonna talk to gemini about this one.. I'm just analyzing the rebuilding the third temple. Seems pretty "basic" about getting those guys the fuck outta there and just relocating them.
[conversation over]
