The Reconstruction of the Temple by Julian the Apostate

The first temple is destroyed by the Babylonians that is in 586 BC. Then you have, as was just mentioned, the second temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. However, Julian the apostate who actually follows a number of faithful Christian rulers in the Byzantine Empire, he's not a Christian. He attempts to resurrect paganism. And so part of that, he attempts to rebuild the temple. But God makes it very clear, he does not want the temple to be reconstructed. That is not something Christians most certainly should support. Maybe we'll see fire from the ground again, or from the sky this time.
