I rarely discuss the end times except in most general terms. However, I recently watched a documentary about Solomon's temple. I was convinced that the area venerated by Jews and Muslims, where the Dome of the Rock is found, is not the site of the temple that Jesus said would be destroyed. I've always wondered why a remnant wall would exist. I had no answer, so I accept the traditional view.
In reality, the temple was built to the south of the Dome of the Rock. So Muslims and Jews are fighting and dying over nothing but the foundations of a Roman fortress. Such is the absurdity of dead religion.
Why does this matter? Some are waiting for the Dome of the Rock to be destroyed so that the third temple can be built. A few have even plotted to blow up the Mosque to enable the temple to be rebuilt. Some fear that nuclear war could ensue if the mosque was attacked. And it is all based on a traditional view that neither history nor the Bible supports.
I'd be interested to know what others think.

This is the first time I've heard this view on the temple. It sounds like a good topic and I intend to do some studying on it today. I'll post what I come up with. Thanks for sharing it with us. I did find this: SECRET OF THE LOST TEMPLE – THE REAL LOCATION OF SOLOMON’S TEMPLE REVEALED |

I haven't looked into that aspect before and I find it interesting. Maybe I will look into it some more. |

The Temple.—We may now turn to the events of our Lord’s last visit to Jerusalem. Between His triumphant entry and the night of His betrayal He spent His days teaching in the Temple precincts, and withdrew each night to Bethany over the Mount of Olives. This course of action was doubtless partly dictated by motives of prudence, though there is no doubt that it was customary for a large proportion of the vast concourse of pilgrims in Jerusalem for the Passover to camp out on the Mount of Olives or elsewhere.
The site of the Temple is undoubted. It is the area covered to-day by the Haram esh-Sherif, which has the same boundaries as the Third Temple of Herod the Great, except that it extends further to the north. The Temple of Herod, while of an opulent magnificence which aroused the simple wonder of the Galilean peasants, must, to judge from the surviving monuments of Herodian architecture, have been built in a debased and florid imitation of classical art vastly inferior to the graceful Byzantine and Saracen buildings which cover the sacred area to-day.
The Cœnaculum.—The first of the sites connected with the Passion is the Cœnaculum, the House of the Last Supper. The traditional Cœnaculum has been seized by the Moslems on the strength of a late and worthless tradition that it covers the tomb of David. It is, in point of fact, on the western hill, while David’s city, as we have seen, was on the eastern. The present building was constructed by the Franciscans in 1333, but the site was venerated for long before that period, and there is evidence for it right back to the time of Hadrian. Epiphanius definitely states that Hadrian found all Jerusalem destroyed, except a few buildings and the little church which marked the site of the ‘upper room’; and the exegetists seem agreed that by the name ‘upper room’ the same place is designated throughout the Gospels and the Acts.
First, the western nations will be led by one who is elsewhere called the “antichrist.” Secondly, he will make a covenant with Israel, which apparently allows Israel to build the third temple, perhaps sharing the very temple platform where the Dome of the Rock is now located, only perhaps on its northern end as it lined up with the famous Eastern Gate.
