What does the Bible Say about End Times?

Matthew 16:3. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?

This is how we get our information now.  
* Does it confirm or deny what was written by the Prophets?
* Do we believe the news?  For sure, we have witnesses.
* Can the news shed light on the writings of the Bible?

This comment area is used to try to tie up the loose ends.  The attempt is to give insight to how world events are the fulfillment of scriptural evidence.

How far has this progressed?

How much further can it go?

Cleansing:
Numbers 19:2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

Numbers 19:11. He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12. He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13. Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

Temple: physical
Matthew 24:15. When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 
16. then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 

2 Thessalonians 2:4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Daniel 9:26. And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; (abbreviated)

Temple: and the Anti-Christ
Daniel 11:30.  "For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.
 31.  "And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.
 32.  "Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery;

Temple: spiritual
Matthew 23:26. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

John 2:19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 
20. The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21. But he spake of the temple of his body.

Strange and significant that the Red Heifer has been "extinct" for so long, and now that same animal is available, in 2002.

Jews cannot enter the Temple Mount because they are unclean, have handled the "dead", and will not enter "Holy Ground" unclean.  It is sacrilege.   The Red Heifer gives new hope.

Once cleaned Jews could enter and possibly survey the Temple Mount to build a new Temple.

From a Christian perspective:  

Is the Temple Physical  or  Spiritual i.e. the Temple inside us that houses the Holy Spirit? Is not "the cleansing" forgiveness of Sin and Repentance?  Is this not the new covenant? If the Temple is spiritual, the prophesy depicts the fall of the church.  Keywords: Rapture, Apostasy
