JEWISH TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM MENTIONED IN qURAN

quran seems to be admitting that there were TWO JEWISH TEMPLES, and that if we keep the Torah, it will be returned. In any case, it isnt up to palestinians to 'decide' if we deserve to be punished by God. But Quran plainly states that both Jewish 'masjids' (temples) stood in Jerusalem.

[17:6] "Afterwards, we will give you a turn over them, and will supply you with a lot of wealth and children; we will give you the upper hand.

[17:7] "If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for your own good, but if you commit evil you do so to your own detriment. Thus, when the second time comes to pass, they will defeat you and enter the Temple, just as they did the first time. They will wipe out all the gains you had accomplished."
