The third Temple was Herod’s (the Edomite’s Temple) and will never be rebuilt. YHWH does not, and has not ever dwelt in any structure made with human hands. The book called “Revelation” is a composition and amalgamation of several apocalyptic writings popular at its time. It is strictly metaphorically and should always be understood as such. True Israel has been in the process of being restored since the first century, and that restoration is a spiritual one.

The Greek NT Greek does have some historical value, but I use the same "Bible" Yahshua used as my final authority: the Hebrew Scriptures. Over many years, I have found nothing lacking in the Hebrew Scriptures. In it we can find who we are, how we should live and the key to eternal life. Beyond that, the Greek NT has since been developed into a religion called "Christianity", incorporating many primitive and pagan cultures and customs while shifting toward worship of the messenger (Yahshua) rather than simply hearing the message he brought:

The will of the Father is to keep His Commandments (including the weekly Sabbath). This was the entire Covenant YHWH had with Israel, and this covenant now extends even to non-Israelites wishing to come in among His family. One person cannot die for the sins of another, and neither can the innocent be sacrificed for the guilty. Human sacrifice is pagan.

In ancient times, animals were killed for food and as gifts for gods. Among Hebrews, animals were killed for food and as payments for crimes and violations of the law. In today's age, we still make such payments (or spend time in jail if we cannot pay), but not to gain anyone’s favor.

Disclaimer: I hesitate a bit at even posting this since I have even some related questions of my own, yet I think this is the kind of thing you have been asking about. Not all of these words are mine:

... the idea that Jesus (Joshua) fulfills the prophecies of Isaiah and is therefore the Saviour sent by god, is one manufactured by either omitting from, or adding to the prophecies.
