How about one with plasma and broadband and a smattering of VR? (rather than demolish the place, being vacant of God is the important part so the ' replacement' during this 'meantime' is right in front of God and everybody. The odds are the ones in Genesis 1 that were 'made after their kind' are related to the beasts described as being there. Rumor has it there is one sound for birth and one for death for all those created things, the 7 lamps that represent the 7 Churches would 'blink on and off' according to the count. That is the replacement for the patch-work one attributed to Herod the butcher. The first stone one was running as it should be, unfortunately lots of live sacrifices meant the sins were being 'dealt with'. The 3rd stone one is built by Jesus during that first day it will serve until the Great White Throne event and the New Jerusalem becomes the replacement for the temple. God, the Holy Spirit and Christ are represented by 'God', the Throne, and the Lamb in the place that serves for eternity. The ones in the city play the role of the Priests in the first stone temple and like the people of Israel do during the 1,000 year temple that is the house in the chapter this verse comes from. They host Gentiles for the Feast of the Tabernacle, the ones in New Jerusalem will host the various celebrations that happen. Like anointing new babies. BTW the only way to have children in the new earth is to miss being alive for the 1,000 years. That wouldn't justify trying to get into hell so you can become a parent later. The ones inside just take on the role of 'grand-parent' to all the people outside the city rather than being a 'relative' to one family tree.
Pardon the length but what part of the verses below would not apply to somebody that is an observer and a 'son'?
Sin ...Sumerian MOON GOD =.... Living in 'sin" means living by the light of the moon and not under God's sun.

Prove it.
That's an interesting way to put it. I'd have said his actions indicate he's a cruel, capricious, incompetent SOB. You really believe all that nonsense about marching around a city a few times and making the walls fall down is literally true?
Archeologists at Hebrew Uni have proven that wrong when they found Jericho. One more JEEPERS
Those guys don't make the extraordinary claims the Bible does. Besides, nobody thinks things like the Iliad and the Odyssey are literally true stories and guides to living a good life.
If he was sinless and perfect he wouldn't have made that mistake.
Not really, not when it really comes down to it they don't. They're told to go spread the word, and they believe so strongly that they have a lock on the truth that they feel they have both the right and the duty to instruct others and interfere in their lives, whether they want to hear it or not. Who but Christians goes door to door, country to country, peddling their mythology and telling people they're dead and condemned until they've bought the message?
Now you're getting it, because that's exactly what he's done. If the understanding were clear, there wouldn't be so bloody many mutually inconsistent versions of it.
I've told you this reality before and I'll tell you again. He was talking to the Judeans who really really REALLY pissed off God who called of the deal made in the OT.
You're either conflicting with yourself or one of those folk who think it's okay for you but not so for anyone else.
It does if you know your chem. "Lifeless" crystals grow to perfection without any outside influence. Amino acids (building blocks of life) self-assemble without outside influence.
