(iii) I shall point out that prophecy as a whole indicates a third temple - to be set
in operation before the Lord’s return.
On that basis, Ezekiel’s temple of the kingdom will be the fourth.

OHP 3: Olivet’s Three Main Statements
‣ So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes
desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel - let the reader
understand - then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
(Matthew 24:15, NIV)
‣ For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the
world until now - and never to be equaled again. (Matthew 24:21, NIV)
‣ Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and
the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the
heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ [Isaiah 13:10; 34:4] At that time the sign
of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth
(or land - Zechariah 12:12) will mourn. They will see the Son of Man
coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. (Matthew
24:29, 30, NIV)
