I'm not sure if this is how those in the time of Zechariah would have understood this passage, but it certainly seems feasible. If this is correct:
How do we determine who they that are far off is referring to, who will help Jesus build the temple?
How do we determine how far 'far off' is (within Israel, neighboring countries, other continent, etc)?
When will Jesus and those far off build the temple?
| Using the dispensational hermeneutic, is there any reason to think that the temple spoken of in the Zechariah 6 passage should not be taken to mean a 'literal' temple (one that's built with bricks and mortar or whatever) similar to other OT temples?

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
