They say it because they can not face the truth that the temple which is defiled in the endtimes are the Christian churches themselves, so they want it to be a rebuilt stone temple.

And you don't?
You will find out soon enough, but do not be too dissappointed that you are still here and in the tribulation.

So God looks upon the flesh and not the heart??---

Now is a good time to ask. I'm new to being a Christian, and there are many points of it I don't fully understand. What exactly is the Rapture? I've been given conflicting opinions on it at Church. Yes I'm aware I may get conflicting views here as well, but I've noticed many on here really know their Bible.
There is this that is simple to understand about the rapture
God doe not save us from tribulation [that is persecution] although oft He saves us through, or in the midst of it. But there is no way possible that when God begins to pour His fury out upon His enemies that His people can be punished along with the wicked...that as Abe points out cannot be.
God's people....His present people and His future people
His present people are the church, the body of Christ WE are going to our heavenly abode, we will be caught up to meet the returning Lord
His future people are the Jews, they are to inherit the kingdom of heaven on earth. They also are to be kept safe from God's wrath.
This is why they are being re-gathered into their land, this why there must soon come a much greater gathering. This how we know we are in the last days.

The Jews know who they are, Hitler and his gang knew who they were....it is very difficult for Jewish people to disguise their Jewishness.
Yes, they were all Jews.
None of these "Jews" from WWII were of the 10 tribes. They were all descendants from the House of Judah, which was made up of two tribes (Judah & Benjamin)
Again, why do you claim God's "future people" will only be Jews? What about all the Israelites from the other 10 tribes?
