Thanks for your response!

I believe there are references in the OT referring to a temple, but
not a literal temple that will be built after the Church Age has begun.
For example, Ezekiel 43 and so on speaks of a temple.  But this is again
a reference to the Church.  We all heard the thought about the rivers from the
temple flowing to Ezekiel's knees and loins, until they were waters to 
swim in and how that is a picture of the Holy Ghost and not literal
water.  I believe all that is a reference to the Church.

Basically, I see no single reference which refers to a future building
called a temple in the entire word of God.  If Israel builds one, God will not
call it a TEMPLE OF GOD.  Therefore, any prophecies realted to a future
temple of God cannot be a literal building.
