Building the third, and final temple, is just as important to the Jewish people today as it was centuries ago, but they have not been able to gain access to the site to build the temple because the Muslims have control of the Temple Mount and are unwilling to allow the Jews to build or do much else. Even praying on the Temple Mount to a god other than Allah is grounds for being arrested. The third temple, as was true with the first two, must be built in the exact same location with the exact same dimensions. This third temple is critical to future prophecy because this is where the Antichrist will walk into a room known as the Holy of Holies and declares himself "God" mid-way through the tribulation period.
