For those of you who might be concerned about the Temple being built in Jerusalem before the Second Coming of Christ, there is very interesting news. As you probably know, there has been concern about disturbing the Dome of the Rock, the magnificent Muslim mosque, to restore Solomon's temple.
However, a team was sent to Jerusalem last April to research the Temple Mount and surrounding area. I won't list who they were and all their credentials but they had them. And they came up with a new proposed location of where the Temple was and there is nothing on it to prevent the Temple being restored!
Unfortunately more research is still needed. At present, most on-site research is strictly prohibited. Additional careful measurements need to be made. Nevertheless, the evidence is much more solid than anything for other proposed locations, much of which is based on groundless speculation. It definitely appears that some ancient building stood there, and it is about the right size, shape and orientation to have been Solomon's temple.
Evidence has been presented for the location of Solomon's temple having been situated between the existing Dome of the Rock and dome of the Tablets. If this location is indeed correct, then the exact location and orientation have been pinpointed in a place where no building currently stands. Thus the temple could be restored there without impacting the Dome of the Rock in any way.
