The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.
2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

Will There Be a Third Temple?

In this episode, we take a step back from typical prophetic speculations and eschatological positions and ask a deeper question: Does a third temple fit the theology of the New Testament?
Our journey begins by entering the first-century world of Jesus and His disciples, where the temple stood at the very center of Jewish life and covenant faithfulness. From there, we trace how the New Testament interprets the destruction of that temple—and what it means that Jesus called Himself greater than the temple (Matt 12:6), identified His body as the true temple (John 2:19–21), and redirected worship away from Jerusalem to “spirit and truth” (John 4:21–24).
We reason from a Christ-centered hermeneutic: letting the New Testament govern how we read Old Testament temple prophecies. Along the way, we consider why early Christians never attempted to reconstruct a temple-centered faith, and why the apostles consistently anchor our hope in Christ’s finished work and the new creation, not in a restored sacrificial system (Eph 1:21; Rev 11:15).
If you’ve only ever heard the third temple discussed in terms of end-times timelines, this approach may challenge you to rethink the question from a covenantal and theological perspective.
