What will temple worship be like in the first three and a half years?
Temple worship in the first three and a half years will be much like the time of Christ: priests, sacrifices, and rituals continue, with all the religious aspects, but God will not be in it. The Shekinah glory and Ark are gone, and the people still deny the Christ who died for them.
Les explains that during the first three and a half years it will be much the same as it was at the time of Christ. They will have the temple, the priests, and the sacrifices, and they will be going through all the rituals and religious aspects. But God will not be in it, because they are still denying the Christ who died for them. Earlier, the Shekinah glory was gone and the Ark of the Covenant had long been gone, yet they were still practicing a religion.
