I would reject "herods Temple" as filling the bill in Ezk. 37 and also Ezk.40-48 because IMO Ezk. 37 is a future prophecy. For only Judah was released from captivity, the 10 tribes did not return to the land at that time. I am open to the possibility (I'd say probability) that what we have seen happen over the last generation plus is leading up to the fulfillment of Ezk. 37.
Concercning "Ezekiels Temple" is it a "third temple", is it a "millenial temple" or a "heavenly temple"? Thoughts?

Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Eze 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
let me answer this with a new testemant scripture,
Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

And when in that time of 70 AD was there a person who stood in the holy place and caused the abomination of desolation. And following the destruction of the temple there should have been an effort to destroy the Jewish people altogether in the valley south of the city. And in that situation is where Jesus should have appeared and every eye should have seen him as he said it would be.
The Jews are just blind as the bible said until an appointed time. And I believe some of them will be blind along with some professing Christians up until the coming of Christ.

Austin is'nt it funny, what does it matter if the Jew see it or not old testement prophecies are clear that the sacrifices and oblations were for a time and that one would come to finish them. The problem is, just as we have come to the same frame of mind. We are looking for a material earthly kindom and not one that is spiritual. Did not Jesus say on more than one occation, my kindom is not of this world?
As for being litural in fulfiment, like, (every stone upon another)? Go back through OT prophecy you will find something in every prophecy that did not have comeplete physical fulfillment yet we still concider them as having been fulfilled.

Just a question, do you honestly beleive that something that has never happened before in the history of mankind is going to happen? Every profesing Jew on the face of the earth is going to come to beleive and see Christ as thier messiah? Is that now what scripture says will happen?
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
As far as I am concerned that is the same as saying not every stone has or was standing upon another. Let me ask you this from what history book do you get that not all stones were pulled apart? Did you not know that the Jews have tried to rebuild the temple acouple of times and God has stopped them?
