Religion can't be discussed in a secular manner yet the haters constantly try to do so claiming they know more.

It's OK, I've yet to have one of the haters be able to prove what they believe by providing the type proof needed to do so.

Are you talking about the holiness issues and problems with the pagan wives?

So, we know God hates divorce, right?
Mal 2:16

Ezra did not establish the norm, but rather deals with a special case in history. It seems to have been decided (Ezra 10:3) on the principle that the lesser wrong (divorce) would be preferable to the greater wrong of the Jewish race being polluted by intermarriage, so that the nation and the messianic line of David would not be ended by being mingled with Gentiles. To solve the problem this way magnifies the mercy of God in that the only other solution would have been to kill all of those involved (husband, wives, and children) by stoning, as was done during the first Exodus at Shittim (Num. 25:1–9).

So now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Ezra 10:3

They already tried to build a third temple but it was felled by fire and earthquake.

Revelation 21:22-27 King James Version (KJV)
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Of course the "Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple".......that was the vision in Heaven! :palm:
We all know that.
We are discussing the end times ...HERE.........on earth.

Doesn't matter what you WANT. This sinful, war-filled earth is on borrowed time.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God remains forever.
1 John 2: 15-17

In a sense, yes. It's about the salvation and restoration of Israel. After the 1000 yr millenial reign of Christ there will be a new Jerusalem (our eternal home in Heaven), the earth & the elements will be destroyed with "fervent heat".

I understand.
God's focus has always been on and for his covenant children. We Gentiles are grafted into the Branch when we accept Christ as our Savior. The rest is spelled out in the OT & NT regarding the end times.

There are no more prerequisites needed for the Rapture to occur. After that of course there are many events which will transpire prior to Christ's 2nd coming.

There is one main event that must happen prior to the 2nd coming of Christ at the end of the 7yr Tribulation...the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. More precisely the 3rd Temple.
For those who think Christ's 2nd coming and end times have already occurred simply because the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, they are incorrect. Architectural plans for the third Temple exist most notably in chapters 40-47 of the Book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel's vision pre-dates the Second Temple)

The thing here is that first the Antichrist must arrive on the scene. He will be the one "authorizing" and getting the 3rd Temple reconstruction going. He will be deceiving the world making them think he is on the side of Israel and wants the Temple built for them. Naturally this won't be readily apparent until half way through the 7yr Tribulation. But, he's often identified as the political leader of a trans-national alliance similar to the European Union or the United Nations and will secure a peace treaty between the modern nation of Israel and its neighbors following a global war. The Antichrist later uses the Temple as a venue for proclaiming himself as God and the long-awaited Messiah, demanding worship from humanity.

So, all of this would be occurring after the Rapture during the 7 years of the Great Tribulation.

they may actually be storehouses.


Excerpt:

As early as 1970, the University of Pennsylvania’s James B. Pritchard questioned whether these buildings were in fact stables.2 Weren’t they instead simply storehouses? he asked. This debate still rages and has been aired by leading proponents and opponents on at least two occasions in BAR, most recently in 1992.a Finkelstein and Ussishkin accept the original interpretation of the buildings at Megiddo as stables, and I agree.

It is not that they were lost as stables. It was that they were lost as Solomon’s Stables. In the 1960s and 1970s the Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin undertook some modest excavations at Megiddo and corrected several stratigraphical errors in the work of the Oriental Institute archaeologists.3 The result- The stables (Yadin too argued that they were stables) belonged not to the tenth century B.C. (Solomon’s era), but to the ninth-century city of Kings Omri and Ahab. That revised dating has now been accepted by almost all archaeologists who have studied the matter. As a result, Solomon’s Stables were effectively “lost.” They became Omri’s or Ahab’s Stables instead. Unfortunately, Omri’s Stables doesn’t have quite the same ring as Solomon’s Stables.

The question that tantalized me was what lay below Omri’s or Ahab’s Stables. Was it possible—or even likely—that below some of the ninth-century stables lay earlier, tenth-century, that is, Solomonic stables?

Jewish men always had foreign wives.. See Abraham, Moses, Solomon and Boaz just to name a few.
