The Future Temple and Its Revelation
It may be suggested that the Temple of the future ("it will be revealed and come from heaven already built and perfected") will first be revealed in the place "That the Temple traveled and settled there" in the time of exile ("The House of our Rebbe in Bavel"); from there it will be transported to its place in Yerushalayim.
...Perhaps it can be said that this is alluded to in the Rambam's choice of words (in Hilchos Melech HaMoshiach) "And build the Temple in its place." For apparently [there is a question]: what is the need to inform us here that the building of the Temple will be in its place? On the other hand, why isn't the place specified: "And build the Temple in Yerushalayim?" [It must be] that "in its place" alludes as well to the place of the king Moshiach in the time of exile (before [the status of] "behold he is certainly Moshiach"). Therefore, while he is still in exile (for there he sits and waits and anxiously looks forward to redeeming the Jewish people, and the Divine Presence with them in exile) the king Moshiach builds a Temple (in microcosm). This is an illustration and example of the Temple in Yerushalayim (like "the synagogue of He slipped and settled," "that the Temple traveled and settled there."). [This settling serves] as a preparation for the future Temple, which will be revealed there first, and from there return (with G-d and the Jewish people) to Yerushalayim.
