Is this temple going to be literally built? when?

V. New Testament Interpretation
Ezekiel 36:25; John 7

Application #1: The work of God goes forward with or without us.

Application #2: The spirit gives life.

Application #3: What the Holy Spirit does not do - when no faith mixed with the word.

Application #4: A vision about our end time glory - The river in Revelation 22 - The water of the spirit so deep you can only swim in it.
