                            and  contrasted  to  the  coming  Temple  by  many  prophecy
                            analysts.
                              Finally,  we  have  also  seen,  since  the  publication  of  our
                           original  book,  the  published  intentions  of  a  minority  of
                           Jewish  people  to  rebuild  the  Temple  now,  despite  any  ob-
                           stacles,  even  the  formidable  pressures  of  Arab  objection  and
                           global unease about provocations in the Middle East.
                              The  last  three  of  the  above  developments  are  taken  up  in
                           detail  in  this  new  edition.  They  truly  update  the  progress  of
                           a  prophecy  fulfillment,  we  feel,  and  they  contain  vital  new
                           issues  which  strongly  suggest  biblical  overtones.  They  truly
                           move torward the finale of God's plan for men.
                              As  we  go  on  in  our  fortunate  situation  of  being  able  to
                           observe  God's  Word  in  action,  we  cannot  help  but  dedicate
                           ourselves  and  our  work  to  the  even  more  vital  issues  of  the
                           Bible.  The  Tribulation  Temple,  in  all  its  glory,  is  but  a
                           Temple  for  a  season.  This  book  explains  that  it  will  be  swept
                           away  when  the  Lord  returns.  Believers  will  see  yet  a  fourth
                           Temple  on  the  holy  site,  the  Millennial  Temple,  the  central
                           house of Jesus Christ on the earth.
                              Our  continuing  prayer  is  that  this  book  will  share  in  the
                           drawing  of  men  and  women  around  the  world  to  the  Lord
                           Jesus  Christ,  the  true  Object  of  all  prophecy,  and  will  alert
                           Christians  to  the  strategic  nature  of  the  times  in  which  we
                           live.
                              As  the  return  of  the  Lord  draws  near,  the  importance  of
                           displaying  every  detail  of  God's  Word  to  a  lost  world  be-
                           comes  ever  more  vital.  May  this  book,  in  its  way,  contribute
                           to that greatest of all causes.
