Deuteronomy 12 and the dome of the rock

[icebear]

Deu 12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

Deu 12:3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.


why didn't they just bust it down when Israel became a state?

its got to be more complicated than that, but i can't help but ask. :idunno

The muslims would have gone beserk if Israel tore down the DOTR.

Grant Jeffrey thinks that the DOTR doesn't have to be moved or destroyed for there to be a third Temple. He even thinks this verse is talking about the DOTR.

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:1-2
