In 1492, Spain expelled the Jews. Columbus also discovered America, which became a safe haven for the Jewish people.
Sorry but you are making too much sense and are using logic.
. . . can't they build a temple wherever they want to just as long as the ark is placed in it?
What you were quoting is a description of a week long dedication ceremony necessary for YHWH to enter the sanctuary.
According to Ezekiel, God will go back to accepting sin sacrifices of unblemished animals.
Animal sin sacrifices negates the very purpose of Jesus' so called "perfect sacrifice" for the worlds sin. . . .

Yes "nothing there"... just a civilisation that goes back 11,000 years and had the oldest cities found (to date). The Canaanite settlements are older than Gobekli Tepe even. And to get technical there is evidence of people there even more ancient.
People continually destroy and build on old ruins.

beg to differ, yes there will be a third temple built in israel. don't believe? ...keep watching, and they will resume animal sacrifice but it will be stopped.. most likely by the anti-christ because people are going to protest against killing animals, but a third temple will be built and very soon. keep watching my friends.
The Romans destroyed Herod’s Jerusalem Temple in 70 C.E. Is it possible that some of the wooden beams from his Temple Mount have survived—and may be identified? I believe the answer is “yes.” Some of the beams may even be from the Temple.
Wooden beams of this quality—especially Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) and cypress (Cypressus sempervirens)—were extremely valuable and would have been used and reused, again and again.
Known to archaeologists as “secondary use,” the phenomenon of reuse is widely recognized, mostly in connection with stone building blocks but also with regard to other construction elements such as columns, capitals and bases. The same is true for wood. It was used again whenever possible.
It is the date of the ’Ain Dara temple, however, that offers the most compelling evidence for the authenticity of the Biblical Temple of King Solomon. The ’Ain Dara temple was originally built around 1300 B.C. and remained in use for more than 550 years, until 740 B.C. The plan and decoration of such majestic temples no doubt inspired the Phoenician engineers and craftsmen who built Solomon’s grand edifice in the tenth century B.C. As noted by Lawrence Stager of Harvard University, the existence of the ’Ain Dara temple proves that the Biblical description of Solomon’s Temple was “neither an anachronistic account based on later temple archetypes nor a literary creation. The plan, size, date and architectural details fit squarely into the tradition of sacred architecture from north Syria (and probably Phoenicia) from the tenth to eighth centuries B.C.”
Certain features of the ’Ain Dara temple also provide dramatic insight into ancient Near Eastern conceptions of gods and the temples in which they were thought to reside. Carved side-by-side in the threshold of the ’Ain Dara temple are two gigantic footprints. As one enters the antechamber of the sanctuary, there is another carving of a right foot, followed 30 feet away (at the threshold between the antechamber and the main chamber) by a carving of a left foot. The footprints, each of which measures 3 feet in length, were intended to show the presence (and enormity) of the resident deity as he or she entered the temple and approached his or her throne in the Holy of Holies. Indeed, the 30-foot stride between the oversize footprints indicates a god who would have stood 65 feet tall! In Solomon’s Temple, the presence of a massive throne formed by the wings of two giant cherubim with 17-foot wingspans (1 Kings 6:23–26) may indicate that some Israelites envisaged their God, Yahweh, in a similar manner.
That is a modern myth that I believe was created originally as a tool of the zionists to get Christians to acquiesce to their taking Jerusalem as a Jewish possession.
Btw the antichrist wants the third temple to be built so he can announce he is God from there.
More than 500 years ago, Rabbi David ben Zimra (“Radbaz” [1461–1571]) claimed that the Foundation Stone and Holy of Holies were located within the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. He even identified the Foundation Stone as the stone known as es-Sakhra, the rock outcropping above which the dome of the rock stands.
There are two other views regarding the location of the Temple in addition to the “central” theory—the southern and northern theories. Already in 1878, James Ferguson, in his The Temples of the Jews and the Other Buildings in the Haram Area at Jerusalem, suggested that the Temple stood in the southern part of today’s Temple Mount.
There are a lot of Christians who don't believe that either because it doesn't say in the Bible that Jesus paid for sins.
. . . there is a very large amount of jews that don't believe that Christ was the last sacrifice that payed for the sins of the world.
is not what it says.
Mankind could not live up to the laws of the commandments . . .

The Septuagint version says "burn incense".
What exactly is this continual "sacrifice" and what is the "clean oblation" offered in Malachi?
You are just inserting your own interpretation without explanation for why the word "perfect" should be added.
The only perfect pure offering (clean oblation) ever made in all of history is Jesus Christ's Paschal sacrifice.

The Septuagint says that "His name is glorified".
The "purity" seems to be connected to the words used, especially since the next verse says that "you profane my table with your words".
You are basing your whole argument on something not even in the text.
