Temple building is for the wrong purpose and those who are involved are not inspired. God will have his people, but we also know the prophecy of the 1/3. The time of the gentiles is over.
Acts 1:6-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:1
That's why I brought up the silk road as not being evangelized.
But if it is as you say then it still doesn't compute because Jerusalem was still under the sovereignty of a Gentile power until it came out from under the sovereignty of Gentile powers on June 7, 1967. According to Daniel the time af the gentiles ends when Christ comes to set up His stone kingdom (the one not hewn) iow the second coming of Christ.
The "fulness of time" was first fullfilled at Jesus' birth Galatians 4:4 while the "season" ending seems to be at the time of the desolation of the temple that has been back in Israeli hands Matthew 25:15
It's not what begins the season but it is the characteristic mark that identifies the culmination of philosophies and religions that proclaims that mankind is it's own god. The exalting and deifying of man is the crowning characteristic of the last season of the Gentiles being fulfilled. That's when the time of the gentile will have met it's zenith. And that's when Christ will come as an unhewn stone to set up His kingdom
Daniel 2:
31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king.
