Fulfilled prophecy - The Jewish people will go without king or sacrifice a long time

I'm not sure how you're extracting that prophecy from that statement. At any rate, the Nation State of Israel, as it currently is, has about the same chance of getting a king of its country as the United States does, and for the foreseeable future there are no one who wants the Dome of the Rock to be removed in order for a Third Temple to be built.

There are lots of people who want the Dome of the Rock removed in order for a Third Temple to be built. However, they either lack the ability to carry out the removal or are held back by the knowledge that the world's Muslim countries would see it as grounds for immediate attack.

And the temple wasn't rebuilt for all the centuries before the Dome of the Rock was built in 691 AD.

But which specific prophecy do you mean?

It wasn't for lack of trying.

The Bar Kochba revolt around AD 132-135 was intended to rebuild the temple, and it resulted in disaster, forcing the Jews out of Palestine altogether.

Then there was the emperor Julian the Apostate, who urged the Jews to rebuild the temple in AD 363. That also resulted in disaster.

The King returned in power in AD 70, and is putting the world under His feet. The Temple is our bodies.


The Temple was but a shadow of things to come (Heb. 9).

Individuals? Yes. I don't take them seriously. The Israeli government has wisely made it clear that the Dome of the Rock is a world treasure. If anyone knocks it down it definitely won't be them.

Oops, no, the prophecies were extracted from the quote from Hosea, and the Isaiah verses were to show that God points to fulfilled prophecy as a way in which he shows that he is God, and God alone.
