Maybe. But think about all of these oddities:

- The final time he walked out of the temple on Holy Week, Jesus said that the temple would be destroyed and the Jews would be scattered. Exactly 40 years later (40 being a very significant number in Scripture), that is exactly what happened.

- On his way out the door of the temple, Jesus said, “You will never see me again until you say ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,’” which is from a messianic psalm which the crowds had already spoken to Jesus when he was on his way to the temple on Palm Sunday. In other words, Jesus guarantees that he is coming back to the Temple Mount in a messianic procession which was prefigured by Palm Sunday.

Now, perhaps Jesus was misquoted in the gospels. Or perhaps it was made up entirely. Or maybe he was speaking figuratively rather than literally about his return. Before 1948 and 1967, I would have been apt to agree with one of those assessments. The problem is that in AD 1948, an ethnic group that had not had a sovereign state since the seventh century BC suddenly set up a nation which has been the bane of the world ever since. Then in 1967, they claimed oversight of the Temple Mount for the first time since AD 70.

And in spite of the status quo arrangement that Israel presently has with Jordan at the Temple Mount, there have recently been waves of Orthodox Jews who have rushed their way onto the Temple Mount to demand the reintroduction of Old Testament sacrifices, including a group which went up to the Al-Aqsa mosque mere days before the October 7 Hamas attack.

Maybe it is all fantasy. Or maybe things are lining up exactly as we were told in Scripture.
