In our generation - the last generation of exile and the first generation of Redemption - after all the requirements have already been completed, and it only remains to actually greet our righteous Moshiach, it is certain that G-d will bless every Jew with golden riches, materially and spiritually. [This blessing] will be such that (as it was "in the days of your going forth from the land of Egypt" and will be now that "I will show him wonders") "every single Jew will have no less than ninety Libyan donkeys with him loaded with the wealth and gold of Egypt"
This is in order that one should use the wealth ("gold and silver and copper") to make of one's own home a Sanctuary and Temple to G-d (and I will dwell among them, within each and every individual). This is also done through giving tzedekah to build synagogues and Houses of Study in the simple sense, "a small sanctuary."
Further, and this is the currently essential requirement, the third Beis HaMikdash [Temple] must be built in simple reality:
After all the explanations of the verse "Make me a Sanctuary and I will dwell among them," including the explanation "within each and every individual," a Torah verse does not leave its simple meaning.
First and foremost the practical legal meaning of this text is that Jews have the obligation to build the Beis HaMikdash.
