In 2 Samuel 5:14 we see Nathan being an older brother of Solomon, son of David<\/strong>, born in Jerusalem. In Chapter 7 we read about the\u00a0prophet Nathan<\/strong>, it is\u00a0not the same person, as the sons Nathan and Solomon will only be born later with Bathsheba as their mother (2 Samuel 12).<\/p>

But the Prophet Nathan was a trusted advisor to King David.

2 Samuel 5:7,9 \u201cNevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion<\/strong>: H6726 the same is the\u00a0city of David<\/strong>. .. Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the City of David.\u201d<\/p>

This is the first place in Scripture that is referenced to\u00a0Zion, H6726 \u2013 \u1e63\u00eey\u00f4n<\/a>.\u00a0Zion<\/strong>\u00a0means \u201cparched place\u201d, coming from\u00a0H6723 \u2013 \u1e63\u00eey\u00e2<\/a>\u00a0meaning \u201cwilderness, drought, solitary, barren<\/strong>\u201c, and\u00a0H6725 \u2013 \u1e63\u00eey\u00fbn<\/a>\u00a0meaning a \u201ctitle, signpost, monument, sign\u201d<\/p>

Zion is mostly referred to in Scripture as the\u00a0City of David, and is referenced mostly in Psalms.<\/p>

The prophets also prophesied about\u00a0Yeshua\u2019s coming in Zion<\/strong>\u00a0like in Zec 9:9 \u201cRejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; H6726 shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and\u00a0riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.\u201d<\/p>

Yeshua instructed the disciples to fetch the donkey for Him, saying in Matthew 21:4-5 \u201cAll this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the\u00a0daughter of\u00a0<\/strong>Sion<\/strong>\u00a0(greek G4622<\/a>), Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and\u00a0sitting upon an ass,\u00a0and a colt the foal of an ass.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

David said, 2 Sam 7:2 \u201cSee now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar,\u00a0but the ark of Elohim dwells within curtains<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0However, that night the Prophet Nathan had a Word from YHWH, saying\u00a0YHWH is the One who builds the house<\/strong>, and that He is happy dwelling in the Tabernacle Tent. BUT, He said in verse 12-14 \u201cWhen your days are filled and you rest with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you<\/strong>, who comes from your inward parts, and\u00a0shall establish his reign. He does build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever. I am to be his Father, and he is My son<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>

This is a prophecy of\u00a0Yeshua<\/strong>, because the words says after David dies, a seed will come later.\u00a0 We don\u2019t see in the rest of 2 Samuel about David\u2019s plans for the Temple, however in 1 Chronicles 22,28 and 29 there are much detail where David is putting a lot of effort in planning the Temple and setting up Solomon, as his life-work to build the Temple. This is a\u00a0different scenario\u00a0from\u00a0where YHWH told Moses\u00a0exactly how and what He wanted the Tabernacle to be. In Chronicles David mentions that YHWH showed him what He wanted, and that is all we have from that.<\/p>

Later years, there are\u00a0much criticism from several prophets\u00a0like Malachi, Jeremiah and Ezekiel about the\u00a0corruption of the temple. In Luke 21:5-6 we read how the people were admiring the Temple and the stones, when Yeshua said, \u201cThese that you see \u2013 the days are coming in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.\u201d and in John 2:19 He said, \u201cDestroy this Temple, and in three days I shall raise it.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>

Yeshua did not seem impressed by the Temple<\/strong>\u00a0either. As matter of fact, in Revelations 21:22 we read that in the new Jerusalem, there will be no Temple, \u201cAnd I saw no Temple in it, for YHWH \u011al Shaddai is its Dwelling Place, and the Lamb.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

There are much speculation on a\u00a0Third Temple\u00a0that needs to be rebuilt. The scriptures they usually reference are the following:<\/p>

  • Daniel 9:24-27 Talking about\u00a0Jerusalem<\/strong>\u00a0(not the temple) being\u00a0restored and rebuilt<\/strong>.<\/li>
  • Ezekiel 40-44 Talking about the entire Jerusalem and the\u00a0Mount that is sacred<\/strong>, the measurements and that which the Messiah will establish. The East Gate will be shut and only allowed for the Messiah. It does mention the temple, but cannot be in contradiction of Revelations 21:22. It talks about entrances and courtyards, and a place for those who live by the Torah.<\/li>
  • Zechariah 1:12-17 The promise to return to Jerusalem and\u00a0rebuild His House<\/strong>.\u00a0A measuring line will be used to rebuild Jerusalem (probably referencing Ez 40-44).<\/li>
  • Zechariah 6:12-15 This prophecy mentions\u00a0the \u201cBranch\u201d (the Messiah) rebuilding and setting up the new home<\/strong>, palace or sanctuary (which most translators translate to \u201ctemple\u201d).<\/li><\/ul>

    There are no clear prophecy that a third temple will be build for Messiah to return. Instead all prophecies clearly state the\u00a0Messiah will setup the new Kingdom and Home<\/strong>. Men might do and build things as \u201cthey want\u201d it to be, but YHWH sets the rules for His Kingdom and\u00a0we should not be afraid of men and their prophecies, but only look to YHWH and Yeshua for guidance and peace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
