Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel and Steve Dupuie

Do End-Time Prophecies Require a Rebuilt Jewish Temple?
Dr. Bob Thiel joins Steve Dupuie on Bible News Prophecy to examine the Temple Institute, the history of the first and second temples, New Testament uses of the Greek words naos and hieron, Christians as the temple of God, end-time animal sacrifices, the abomination of desolation, and his conclusion that a physical Jewish temple is not required for biblical prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Temple Institute and the Desire to Rebuild

Steve Dupuie opens by asking whether Jewish groups currently want to build a temple. Dr. Bob Thiel identifies the Temple Institute as one such organization and discusses a newsletter that cites Deuteronomy 12:5–7 and asks supporters to help rebuild the temple. Thiel notes, however, that the quoted passage speaks about a chosen place of worship and sacrifice without explicitly requiring a temple building.

The First and Second Temples in Biblical History

Thiel reviews the history of Solomon’s temple, its destruction by Babylon, the construction of the second temple after Cyrus’s decree, Herod’s later expansion, and the temple’s destruction by Roman forces in AD 70. He connects the latter event with Jesus’ prophecy in Matthew 24 that not one stone would remain upon another. The transcript itself cautions that these historical dates are preserved as stated by the speakers and should be independently verified when used as formal historical citations.

Christians as the Temple of God

When Steve asks whether a holy Jewish temple can be built in the present age, Thiel answers no. He turns to passages in 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians that describe believers as the temple of the Holy Spirit and the temple of the living God. In his interpretation, the New Testament identifies Spirit-filled Christians, including Christian Jews, as God’s holy temple rather than a future Jewish building.

Naos and Hieron: Two Greek Words for Temple

Thiel distinguishes between two Greek words translated as “temple.” He says hieron usually refers to a physical temple complex, while naos may refer to the inner sanctuary, Christ’s body, or the community of believers. He points to John 2, where Jesus says, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” and the passage explains that He was speaking of His body. Thiel uses this distinction to support his view that prophetic references to God’s temple need not describe a rebuilt Jewish structure.

A Spiritual Building With Christ as the Cornerstone

The discussion continues with Ephesians 2, where Christians are described as a building founded on the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Thiel interprets the growing “holy temple in the Lord” as the church collectively rather than a physical sanctuary. He also draws on 1 Peter to describe Christians as a chosen generation, royal priesthood, holy nation, and special people.

Christ’s Sacrifice and the Question of Holiness

Thiel argues that New Testament teaching about Christ’s sacrifice makes a restored system of temple sacrifices unnecessary for Christians. Referring to Hebrews 9, he describes Christ as High Priest of a greater tabernacle not made with human hands. From this, he concludes that a Jewish religious building may be constructed, but it would not constitute God’s holy temple in the New Testament sense.

Animal Sacrifices Without a Temple

Steve asks whether Daniel’s end-time prophecies concerning sacrifices require a temple. Thiel says they do not. He cites biblical examples of sacrifices offered before Solomon’s temple existed and after the first temple was destroyed but before the second temple was completed. According to Thiel, an altar, priestly leadership, religious implements, willingness, and government permission would be sufficient for sacrifices to resume.

The Abomination of Desolation and the “Holy Place”

The final discussion concerns Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24 about the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. Thiel emphasizes that Jesus said “holy place,” not “holy temple.” He refers to the Greek terms topos for “place” and hagios for “holy,” arguing that the phrase may describe a location rather than a particular building. He therefore rejects the assumption that this prophecy requires a rebuilt Jewish temple.

Living as God’s Holy People

Thiel closes by urging Christians not to wait for a temple that, in his view, God would recognize as holy in this age. Instead, he says Christians themselves are called to be God’s holy people and should live accordingly. The episode concludes with a reference to the Bible News Prophecy website and the Continuing Church of God’s free literature.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel

Alpha Gal Syndrome: A Modern Pestilence

Ticks are insects that are easy to hate. But did you know that they not only suck your blood, but they also spit in you?

When they start gnawing on you to suck your blood some of their spit gets mixed with your blood. It should come as no surprise that this has the potential of causing disease. What might come as a surprise is that this gnawing, sucking, spitting process has actually resulted in a condition known as Alpha Gal Syndrome. However, what might come as an even bigger surprise is that there is a group of people (vegetarian scientists published in 'Bioethics') that have found a way to claim the Modern Day Pestilence of the Alpha Gal Syndrome as being good.

Alpha-gal is a molecule (galactose-α-1,3-galactose) that is naturally produced in the bodies of most mammals but not in people. It is also found in the saliva (spit) of some ticks.

When a tick bites, it can transfer alpha-gal from its saliva into a person's blood. The body's natural defenses, or immune system, can identify alpha-gal as a threat and trigger an allergic reaction.

The Alpha Gal Syndrome causes those that suffer from tick bites to become highly allergic to red meat and meat products such as dairy and gelatin. This syndrome can even lead to anaphylactic shock, which can also be fatal.

Although the Bible allows for vegetarianism, it also specifically states that there are many 'red meat' animals that humans can eat (Deuteronomy 14:4-6).

Calling this Modern Pestilence good is a Biblical example of ‘calling evil good’.

To learn more about this modern-day pestilence watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on the modern-day pestilence of the Alpha Gal Syndrome.

The Jim Craine Show

Steel Pier Stories: Tony Catanoso, Atlantic City Memories and the Alumni Reunion

Summary

Steel Pier at the Center of the Conversation

The episode is anchored in Jim Craine’s long connection to Atlantic City and Steel Pier, where he says he worked from 1963 to 1973 in jobs ranging from game barking to running the diving bell and caring for the diving horses. He uses those memories to introduce guest Tony Catanoso, whom he identifies as the current owner and operator of Steel Pier. Their conversation blends personal history with the modern-day operation of the pier. Craine repeatedly describes Steel Pier as formative to his career in entertainment and broadcasting. He also promotes an upcoming Steel Pier alumni reunion for former employees, performers, Tony Grant participants, Ed Hurst participants, and longtime fans of the pier.

Tony Catanoso on Today’s Steel Pier

Tony Catanoso describes a busy summer day at Steel Pier with families enjoying the attractions. He discusses the pier’s food outlets, games, rides, helicopter operation, bars, event spaces, and large climate-controlled observation wheel. Catanoso says the wheel is 227 feet tall with 40 gondolas and explains that it can operate in both warm and cooler weather. He also describes weddings, engagements, gender reveals, bar mitzvahs, reunions, corporate outings, and other private events held at the facility. The Ocean Reef Bar, Sandbar, wheel deck, beach access, and views of Atlantic City are highlighted as distinctive parts of the current pier experience.

A Family Business and a Long Operating History

Catanoso explains that his family came from North Wildwood and that his own path into amusements began through an insurance agency that wrote amusement insurance. He says those contacts led to go-kart projects and eventually to an arrangement at Steel Pier in 1992. According to Catanoso, the family’s lease was repeatedly extended and the property was ultimately sold to them in 2011. He says the family is now in its 36th summer operating Steel Pier and believes they are the longest-running operators in the pier’s history. Catanoso describes the role as being a torchbearer for an iconic brand and says the stories and memories shared by visitors remain a meaningful part of operating the attraction.

Atlantic City Memories, Woodstock, and the Moon Landing

Craine uses the interview to revisit several moments from his youth and early working life. He recalls being scheduled at Steel Pier during the Woodstock period and explains that taking a day off in those days could mean losing a seasonal job. He also tells a vivid story about working the diving bell during the moon landing, when the pier was crowded and his boss told him to announce to everyone that people were on the moon. Craine remembers the crowd cheering and connects that memory with the many entertainers who appeared at Steel Pier. Elsewhere in the episode, he talks about attending the Beatles in Atlantic City in 1964, leaving shortly after “Twist and Shout” because of the volume, and remembering the city’s rich entertainment history.

The Alumni Reunion and Diving-Horse Legacy

A major focus of the program is the Steel Pier alumni reunion scheduled for August 23. Craine says former workers, performers, divers, Tony Grant alumni, Ed Hurst participants, and fans are invited, and he mentions several people he hopes will attend. He discusses the history of the diving horses and says a woman who wrote The Last American Diving Horse will be present and selling her book. He also mentions former diving-horse performer Terry McDevitt and describes plans to raise funds connected with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. The segment emphasizes the reunion as a way to preserve stories from earlier eras of Steel Pier while bringing those communities together again.

South Jersey Events, Music, and Community Promotion

Beyond the featured interview, Craine fills the episode with South Jersey community announcements, sponsor mentions, music-shop promotion, jokes, and live music. He congratulates the Atlantic City Beach Patrol on winning the South Jersey Lifeguard Championships and promotes an upcoming Beach Patrol alumni gathering. He also mentions events at Gardner’s Basin, Wheaton Village, the Ocean City Music Pier, and the Smithville Italian Festival, while repeatedly encouraging listeners to support local businesses. Pleasantville Music Shop serves as the live setting for the broadcast, and Craine discusses its long history, instruments, vinyl, lessons, guitar service, and his own recordings. The episode closes with upcoming guest teases, an invitation to subscribe through BBS Radio TV, and a closing theme centered on music, memories, laughter, and returning for the next show.
