"How is what Jesus said undone by those that do not believe in him?"


How is what Jesus said undone by those that do not believe in him?

Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Jesus told them that the temple was left desolate when he departed from there.
If the temple was made desolate because Jesus said so, when he departed from it, then how can those who still reject him, undo his words?
We are told that there will be a third temple built by those who still reject Jesus.
That temple will offer animal blood, while denying the shed blood of Jesus the Lamb of God.
How can that possibly make it "un-desolate" again, after Jesus pronounced it desolate?
We are told that the antichrist will make the third temple desolate by placing an image in there.
For the antichrist to make it desolate, it must not be desolate before he could do that.
So how does building a third temple by those who still reject their Messiah, possibly make that temple not desolate?
Jesus declared it desolate, so who declares a third temple "un-desolate"?
Does simply the tearing down of the second temple, and a building of a third temple, undo the words of Jesus?
Or have we been possibly wrong all along, by teaching that the antichrist desolates a third temple?
