TEMPLE Rebuilding :

Ever since the destruction of the third Temple, in 70 AD, Jews have always prayed that God will allow for the rebuilding of the Temple. This prayer is a formal part of the thrice daily Jewish prayer services.

The question surrounding the notion of NOT rebuilding the Fourth Temple is falsely compounded by biased controversy and debate.

In fact, all the last chronological Books of the Old Testament (Ezekiel, Isaiah 2 and 3, Ezra, Nehemiah, Aggee, Zachariah) urge insistently the Jews to rebuild their Temple (which had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar) and to restore in a second Temple the glorious Cult preserving forever and celebrating, day after day, the Moral Covenant uniting the Jews to YHVH .

In the same way, Rabbi Akiba, the main architect of the Mishnah, suffered the worse martyr for having supported with all his heart, in 132-135, the desperate attempt of Bar Kochba to rebuild the fourth Temple, in order to replace the third (Herodian) Temple destroyed by Titus.
