    The answer is yes.

    Evangelicals, especially those that believe in the rapture/tribulation, believe that the temple of Solomon has to be rebuilt in order for Christ to come back and establish his 1000 years of peace on earth. They also conflate that modern day Israel is tied to the ancient biblical Israel.

    Does this sound batshit crazy? Yes, but this is something I grew up with in a devote evangelicals house and heard repeatedly at various churches (of the same denomination mind you).

    Oh and the temple? It needs to be rebuilt in the original location which is where The Dome of the Rock is…
