- How many Temples did God Command the building of ? Two.

In Haggai and Zechariah they were working on the 2nd Temple when God said this Latter Temple shall be greater than the Former.

These scriptures are not for a 3rd Temple. God has never commanded a 3rd Temple.

- I have some scriptures somewhere else on this that I need to look up. . .

Yes, you sure do need to look more scriptures. Start by reading more carefully Haggai 2:1-9

The 2nd Temple was already built by then and verse 3 confirms it was nowhere near as great as Solomon's Temple. There will be a 3rd Temple and many people from far away will come to build it. Zechariah 6:15

[RevelationWriter]

It was not already built because "Under The Encouragement of The Prophets Haggi & Zechariah The Building Begins Again. The Governor complains, but Emperor Darius orders The Temple to be built. It's finally Completed after another 4 years." - Ezra 5:1-6:15 (The Bible Dictionary)

You are right, to a degree. But the prophecy of Haggai 2:1-9 must be a dual prophecy, as the shaking of the heavens and earth did not happen then. Nor did the treasure of the nations come into it.

The dimensions of the 1st and 2nd Temple were smaller than the one described by Ezekiel 41:1315...100 X 100 cubits, as against 60X 60 cubits in Ezra 6:3    Also Solomon's Temple, was 60 X 20 X 30 high. 1 Kings 6:2

Your determination to deny what God wants may count against you. He required a Temple in ancient times, He is a God who does not change, Malachi 3:6, and it is quite clear there will be another Temple in Jerusalem. I believe I will see it. It has to be there by the last 7 years, as the Anti-Christ will desecrate it then. 2 Thess 2:4

The second temple became the 'body of believers' that devoted themselves to God thereafter (through the last two millennium).

Correct. While Jesus was on earth, He and now His followers have become the Spiritual Temple of God.

But this truth does not preclude another physical Temple, as is so clearly prophesied for the last days and into the Millennium.  Rev 11:1-2  After the Mill, there will again be no Temple, as God will dwell with mankind. Rev 21:22

- Least you think this treasury is 'the glory' of the Temple (?) - Hag.2:7

".. I will sake the nations and the treasure of all nations shall come,

(AND) I Will Fill This House With Glory Says The Lord Of Hosts". - Hag.2:7

"...I Will Be The Glory In Her (jerusalem's) Midst." - Zechariah 2:5

 

- None of the interpretive scriptures add up to Ezekiel's Temple being an end time Temple.

- How can you believe that God would establish His Own elaborate Temple where He said He will dwell forever, being fully implemented BECAUSE Israel will be 'ashamed of all they have done' (?)  Which God said is the requirement of Israel having Ezekiel's Temple! - Ez.43:10,11  And Then God will give His Throne (Ez.43:7) over to some Anti-Christ (?)

There Will Be No End Time Temple. -

This categorical statement shows a hardened attitude toward personal beliefs, that discounts Bible truths. Rev 11:1

But like most people in the world today, you will be surprised as the end time events take place.

[Daniel 11:36]

Revelation 11:1 is the Lord's temple in heaven related to those already there just before the tribulation begins

Revelation 11:2 is about the temple mount at the middle of the week with no temple of the Lord's on the mount

John went into heaven through a door. - Rev.4:1

John was told to Go Down to earth & sea to retrieve the little book from the Angel. - Rev.10:8

Then John was told to RISE And Measure The Temple Of God. - Rev.11:1

- Do you know how many scripture there are in The Revelation Of Jesus Christ that tells of God's Temple In Heaven?

There are 12 other scriptures that tell of God's Temple in Heaven in The Revelation Of Jesus Christ before New Jerusalem comes to the new earth.

 - Rev.3:12, Rev.7:15, Rev. 11:19, Rev.19, Rev.14:15, Rev.14:17, Rev.15:5, Rev.15:6, Rev.15:8, Rev.15:8, Rev.16:1, Rev.16:17

And you have believed that when John was told to Rise And Measure The Temple of God  in Rev.11:1 that it was The 2nd Temple on earth?

(If John did not RISE back into heaven at this point, then where does it say he did go back into heaven after he was told to go down to the angel on the earth and sea?)

Was The 2nd Temple even standing when John wrote The Revelation Of Jesus Christ (?) Or had it been destroyed by then?

[RevelationWriter]

- So John could not have been measuring a future end time Temple.

As John was told to Rise And Measure The Temple Of God, The Altar, And Those Who Worship There.

So who are those John measured in The Temple Of God? - Rev.11:1

Jesus said of those He keeps from the hour of trial to come upon the whole world He will make them Pillars in The Temple Of His God. - Rev.3:12

And to what measurement are they? 

I'd think " . . . To The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fullness Of Christ . . . . " - Ephs. 4:11-13
