LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #2487

In memory of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok ben R' Zalman Yuda Deitsch OBM

The Zohar describes the First and Second Holy Temples as "the building of mortal man which has no lasting existence," whereas the Third Holy Temple, since it is "the building of the Holy One, blessed be He," will endure forever. The First Holy Temple corresponds to Abraham; the Second Holy Temple corresponds to Isaac; the Third Holy Temple corresponds to Jacob. And since the dominant characteristic of Jacob is truth, which can be neither intercepted nor changed, the Third Holy Temple will stand forever.

(Likutei Sichot, Vol. IX, p. 26)
