The thing is NoHype that there is no scripture anywhere prophesying specifically of a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, unless you transfer the first rebuild to a future date.
Sorry, you are completely wrong about that.
Those early Church fathers well knew Apostle Paul was speaking directly of a literal temple in Jerusalem in the 2 Thess.2:3-4 Scripture. I well know today some try to make that temple there out to be the spiritual temple idea of Ephesians but that's hype, simply because the spiritual temple idea of Ephesians 2 involves Christ, the prophets, and Apostles as its foundation, a foundation which can never... be corrupted by any false one.
There will be a new temple built in Jerusalem for the end, and the group of orthodox Jews called the Temple Mount Faithful And Land Of Israel movement already have the cornerstones of the new temple cut, and has tried more than once to set the cornerstone in place upon the Temple Mount. Chas here on this Forum has even pointed to those with his coverage of end time prophecy markers.
Furthermore, when Jesus warned His servants about seeing the "abomination of desolation" from the Book of Daniel standing in the holy place, that was about the temple at Jerusalem. The main difference was He did not mean that physical temple that was standing at His first coming, for He was pointing to future events way past 70 A.D. Moreover, that 2nd temple of the Apostle's days burned down before the Roman army could get control of it in 70 A.D., so there was no placing of the abomination of desolation in that temple, showing that parameter was never fulfilled from the Daniel 8-12 prophecies.
Even in Rev.11:1-2 the Scripture is pointing directly to a literal temple in Jerusalem for the end, and it's shown within the 6th Trumpet 2nd Woe timing of Revelation, which is the timing when the Antichrist is to appear in Jerusalem.
Something that's also remarkable that Hippolytus said in his Discourse On The End Of The World is that the Antichrist will build that final temple in Jerusalem.
Hippolytus (217 A.D.)
"Above all, moreover, he will love the nation of the Jews. And with all these [Jews] he will work signs and terrible wonders, false wonders and not true, in order to deceive his impious equals. . . . And after that he will build the temple in Jerusalem and will restore it again speedily and give it over to the Jews" (Discourse on the End of the World 23-25 [A.D. 217]).
How would Hippolytus in 217 A.D. come to that conclusion? It's because he obviously read and understood that the Antichrist in the end is going to try to mimic our Lord Jesus' coming, for Christ is Who is to build the Millennial temple of Ezekiel 40 forward (per Zech.6).
So I don't know who all you are listening to, but you might want to open up your Bible more instead of just heeding the popular doctrines of the men you're listening to, because you obviously have missed a lot of Scripture.
