G-d is closing the windows of Batei Knesset to prepare to open the doors of the Third Temple. Before he opens the doors and windows of the Third Temple, we must switch from the 2000 year period of the smaller windows to Heaven from synagogues. When the Menorah in the Third Temple begins to shine, the Light of G-dly Wisdom will fill the entire World. (Dov Bar-Leib)
This is a walk-through the main sanctuary of the Holy Temple, showcasing decades of research and tens of innovative Halachic solutions to various perplexing issues that were resolved to create fully functional, ready-to-use plans. As the visual tour sweeps through the sanctuary, one can see the menorah, incense altar and showbread table, all of which have already been prepared by the Institute, among 70 other sacred vessels. The presentation was specially released to coincide with the Ninth of Av, the Jewish national day of mourning which commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples.
This is not a ‘virtual’ representation, but a portion of a complete and highly detailed architectural plan which has been prepared for the immediate construction of the Holy Temple. The plan includes all of components that will be used in building: marble, stone, concrete, wood, flooring materials, overlay of gold, etc.
The external view presents the openings, windows, chambers, the outer hall, the Sanctuary and the Holy of Holies.
In the first stage we are moving through the hall’s entrance. As we continue we arrive at the golden chains described in Tractate Middot, which the young priests-in-training would climb in order to view the decorative crowns that were placed in unique windows above the entrance to the Sanctuary. The visit continues on to the 38 chambers that surrounded the Sanctuary. The door opens and we find ourselves within the first chamber. We turn left and enter into the Sanctuary. From the right we see the three major vessels of the Sanctuary: The golden altar, the table of the showbread, and the menorah. We also see the curtain with its depiction of the two cherubim.
This curtain is actually a double curtain, that separates between the Holy area (the Sanctuary), and the Holy of Holies. We look up to the ceiling of the Sanctuary, which reaches a height of 40 amot. Near the ceiling are the ‘narrowing windows’ (Kings I 6:4) which direct from the Temple outwards.
Turning behind us, we see the doors of the Sanctuary towards the east, as they are opened each morning by the priests, revealing the blue skies of Jerusalem at sunrise.
From the Sanctuary, we turn back to the chambers and go out to the long passageway known as the ‘mesiba.’ We ascend stairs that lead to the roof of the chambers. We continue moving, encircling the Temple from the north and west, afterwards turning east.
At the end of the passageway stands a special ladder that is used to ascend to the upper level. This level has a very high level of sanctity. One opinion maintains that it is only entered once in seventy years (for maintenance purposes).
In summary, this is a highly-detailed building plan which includes room for further innovation by professionals and craftsmen, including decoration, heating and electric etc. According to the decisions of the steering committee that will be established to oversee the construction of the Third Holy Temple, which can be begun immediately.
The video comes one year after the Temple Institute appealed to its supporters to take part in an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign that raised over $100,000 for the architectural plans. The video was first released to supporters of a current campaign to raise the first kosher Red Heifer in Israel in over 2,000 years. Over the past five years, the organization has released its most ambitious campaigns and poignant videos to reframe the mourning period into one of active preparation for the Third Holy Temple.
Support the Temple Institute's new Nezer HaKodesh Institute for training Levitical Priests for the Holy Temple: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/th...Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of The Temple Institute noted: “One third of all Torah commandments pertain to the building of and service in the Holy Temple. Today, we not only mourn the destruction of the two Holy Temples, but also our inability to fulfill one third of the Torah. Over the last three decades, the Temple Institute has done everything in our power to research and prepare for the Third Temple. As world Jewry sits on the ground mourning the first two Temples, we have taken a huge leap towards the rebuilding, by releasing a 3D architectural rendition of the Third Temple”

Thought first Moshiach has to come and then we begin building the Beit HaMikdash and the rest will come down m'Shamayim! Some say, the kedushah is what comes down from Shamayim; but this final Beit Hamikdash will be the Eternal One, so how can man make it before the coming of Moshiach Tzdkeinu?
Can someone please clarify? I was always under the impression that Hashem - directly or through Moshiach Ben David - will rebuild our third and final Beis Hamikdash. The Temple Institute's architectural plans look stunning but it is not up to mankind, only Hashem and his annointed Moshiach to implement the final steps. Ms. AP
No one is “building” yet. These are plans. The Mashiach can use them or create his own plans. Don’t get confused with the proposed and the actual. As it is written, Eliyahu has to come and declare the Mashiach, and then he gets anointed, and then he begins his holy work. I imagine it will not be an easy thing to get started, as there are many who oppose this.
Just like the “evil ones” are trying to kill Trump and stop their conviction and the results thereof, there are anti sources in Eretz Yisrael who will try to stop the Geulah. It is so written by, I believe, the Vilna Gaon.
So, just enjoy the "virtual" future. After we are commanded to serve Hashem with Simcha, and this Shabbat is Simcha Torah.

As far as the plans go for the actual building, it is all in the Torah; the actual instructions must be as it is in our holy Torah!
Chag Sameach!
