Timing Events That Pertain To The Future Construction Of The Temple:

NEWLY UPDATED (in July, 2025):
- - If the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem indeed will start presumably in the middle of the year 2034, therefore it seems logical and necessary that Jehovah God would need to utterly flatten in an earthquake the Dome Of The Rock mosque years before 2034, which of course could occur any day now until then.
- - Although, it seems plausible that Jehovah God may time this flattening destruction of that Islamic mosque to occur on the day of April 3, 2027, as a demarcation point of exactly 7 years before the start of the 7- year Great Tribulation. This timed flattening of the mosque would also serve as a sign to coincide with, identify, and confirm the exact day of the crucifixion of Jesus (April 3) and to forewarn of the impending mass destruction that will occur during the following Great Tribulation, that has a duration of 7 years.
- - Furthermore, this 7 years of time after the destruction of that mosque will undoubtedly involve relentless bitter disagreement and intense objection by adherents and countries of the Islam religion, in strong opposition to Judaism and Israel building its Temple on that site where that mosque had previously been standing.
- - Thereby, this 7 years of irreconcilable stalemate about Israel's insistence on starting construction of the Temple will produce fertile conditions for the subsequent advent of the Antichrist as a miraculous peacemaker in this regard, during the first few months of the presumed April 3, 2034 start of the Great Tribulation.

- - Logically, considering if Jehovah God intentionally highlights the date of Jesus' crucifixion on the cross by rapturing His true Church and starting the Great Tribulation on presumably the 2,001st anniversary and Passover day of that exact crucifixion Passover day of April 3, 33 A.D., then an additional reasonable assertion is that Jehovah God would probably likewise coordinate the rapture on this upcoming anniversary date with the exact time of day of Jesus' death on the cross, which would be approximately 3 o'clock in the afternoon Jerusalem time, on April 3, 2034. (Matthew 27:46-50 - "about the ninth hour")

Running out of time:
- - We (servants of God) are running out of time to get everything done - all of our ministry work, because April 3, 2034 is coming quickly. As " spoken of through the prophet Isaiah [40:4] : " A voice of one calling in the desert, `Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' "" (Matthew 3:3)
