I just showed you, Matt.24 and Mark 13...Saint said:Veteran, you continue to look for an end time temple so I have to ask you; show me where in the word of God does He call for a finial temple in this age? I know you will turn to 2Th 2:4 but the temple referenced there can refer to the hearts of the believer or the assembly of believers; after all verse 3 calls for a great falling away and if they fall away they have turned to another faith or god. Yahweh would take great affront if He were replaced in the hearts of believers. We simply do not understand the full meaning of this verse.
Because of the rejection of Yeshua, He brought forth the Roman army to destroy the existing temple of Yahweh and He told the Jews:
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. (39) For I say to you, You shall not see Me from now on until you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." Mat 23:38-39 MKJV
I have to ask you; when will the Jews call forth these words? Isn’t it at the very end? So where is the case for another temple before the return of Yeshua? The temple of Yeshua today is in the hearts of His assembly the church. Yeshua was the finial sacrifice for sin and if that is the case would Yahweh recognize another temple and if He does not recognize such those in Jerusalem might as well worship in a barn!
For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens, (27) who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice daily, first for his own sins and then for the people's sins. For He did this once for all, when He offered up Himself. Heb 7:26-27 MKJV
Our High Priest is Yeshua who sets at the right hand of the Father and will do so until it is time for His return.
Regarding the desolation of Jerusalem and the temple; you continue to ignore Luke 21:20 which is a parallel verse to Mat 24:15
And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation; Luk 21:20 YLT
Any uncircumcised entering into the inter part of the temple was considered a desolation by the Jews and any uncircumcised army entering Jerusalem was also considered a desolation.
So all of this being said show me how Yahweh would recognize another temple and if He does not recognize it what good is it?
In Yeshua Messiah,

Mark 13:14
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
(KJV)
Matt 24:15-16
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
(KJV)
I mean come on, use your common sense. Our Lord Jesus directly pointed to the idea of the Temple in Jerusalem-Judea with that.
It didn't happen in 70 A.D., because the Dan.11 historical pattern for the abomination was set by Antiochus IV back 170 B.C, requiring that a Temple be standing there, not the Dome of the Rock, but an Israelite Temple, an abomination idol in the "holy place". We know the Romans did not accomplish that because the 2nd Temple caught fire inside and burned before the Romans could get possession of it (per the Jewish historian Josephus).
And thus orthodox Jews in Jerusalem today have the materials ready to build a NEW Temple there today. They've even cut the cornerstones and have tried to place them upon the Temple Mount for several years now! The Israeli government won't let them do that yet, and I think we all know why.
