[1] Randall Price. 1999. pp 35-44: The question is not 'are prophecies regarding the future temple(s) to be interpreted literally or figuartively or both?' but 'which passages refer to a physical future temple, who will build it and when, and which passages are analogies based on a heavenly archetype or model for the visible temple(s).' The most explicit references are Isaiah 2, Hezekiel 40-48, Daniel, Haggai 2, Zacharia 8-14 and Malachi . See R. Price for a comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of these topics.
