Will God's presence rest on the rebuilt temple the way it did in the early days of Israel?
No. The Ark of the Covenant indicated God's presence in early Israel, but when Israel sets up their temple in the next few years, God's presence will not sit over it. It will be a man-made religion, because Israel is far from God, so He cannot manifest His presence with them.
Les explains that the Ark of the Covenant was the very indication of God's presence experienced back in the early days of Israel. However, when Israel sets up their temple in the next few years, the presence of God is not going to sit over it. It is going to be a man-made religion for the most part. It will not be as it was back then, because Israel is so far from God that there is no way God could manifest His presence with them. The earlier tabernacle furnishings—acacia wood covered with gold, the altar of incense, the seven-tiered candlestick, and the laver of cleansing—belonged to that prior worship, but the coming temple will not have God's presence resting over it in the same way.
