Why do Christians need Ezekiel's Temple?

I hope that the Jews understand the goals of the Third Temple. The question may be from the Christians: why do Christians need the Third Temple?
There are several elements that make up the answer to this question.
First, it must be said that this Temple should designate on earth a common meeting place for the entire Church of Jesus Christ. I think that everyone understands that none of the denominations of the Christian religion can take upon itself the authority to convene a world assembly obligatory for the participation of any church in the world. And while there is no such meeting, any talk about the unity of the Body of Christ will remain just an abstract and irresponsible chatter.
I want to ask any Christian, because of what the world will be able to believe in God and Jesus Christ whom He sent? If someone thinks that the world will believe in God because of miracles that we can do here on earth in the name of Jesus Christ, then I must say that this is not so.
"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
(Jn. 17:20,21)
Therefore, my dear Christians, any attempts to achieve the salvation of all people in the world, fail not because of the hardness of the hearts of unbelieving people, but because of the lack of unity among ourselves.
The construction of a unique Temple, the location and the plan of which is set in the Bible itself, provides us with a "sign" near which we must meet in person, or representatives from our community will be present.
When the Lord God decided to reveal himself to the people, He could not come to earth except in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. And he who saw Jesus Christ saw His Father also.
Just as God the Father sent His Son to us, Jesus Christ sent us into the world.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
(Jn. 13:20)
If Jesus Christ was the messenger of God, then we, sent by Jesus Christ, all together are the messengers of Jesus Christ. But we can represent the whole authority of Jesus Christ only if we are all together.
That is why, the devil made a lot of efforts to separate us in different denominations.
Having built the Temple in accordance with the prophesy of Ezekiel, we circumvent the prohibition of the devil in a completely unexpected way, but this path is set forth in the very prophecy of Ezekiel.
Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east;
and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.
And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.
(Ez. 43:1-4)
Is it clear to all, what is the "glory of the Lord"?
Biblical examples are as follows:
...they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.
(2 Cor. 8:23)
...but the woman is the glory of man.
(1 Cor. 11:7)
That is, "the glory of the Lord" is the whole Church, all of us, gathered together in Jesus Christ.
The temple, built according to the prophecy of Ezekiel, will reveal to the whole world our unity in a visible way, just as Jesus Christ revealed to the disciples of the Father.
This is the main element making the Third Temple a necessary component of the completion of the preaching of the Gospel, the final chord completing the earthly mission of the Church.
The second important element of the role of the Temple for any Christian is the creation of a unique platform for the preaching of the Gospel first, for the Israelites, and secondly, for the rest of the world.
And besides, the Third Temple is simply the place of the wedding feast, when the temple complex will give us the opportunity to communicate in a huge area around the holy mountain.
After this, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the Jewish people will receive as a gift from Jesus Christ the Temple where the rituals, sacrifices and the very structure of the temple complex will announce Jesus Christ, His sacrifice, His resurrection and our common salvation in Him.
Of course, this acceptance of the faith in Jesus Christ by the people of Israel can take many days, but it will still be a very fast process, because along with the messengers of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit will come to Israel.
So, we have defined the scheme of the entire temple complex in accordance with the prophesy of Ezekiel, we have determined the place in the Judean Desert, where this Temple is to be built. What else do we lack?
