answer: there are set times when sacrifices were to be done, not daily. Why wouldn’t it be true?

nope. Animal sacrifices were only done before Jesus’ sacrifice.

Sacrifices were only ever for certain types of sins and often, burnt flour was the only thing sacrificed.
If/when the temple is rebuilt, only a tiny minority of Jews would want sacrifices to be reinstated, and no, it would not be daily.
Not sure why some people are banging on about Jesus – he had nothing to do with Temple sacrifices. And no – he WASN’T the ‘ultimate sacrifice’, at least not for JEWS. The Temple worship ONLY stopped because the Romans destroyed the Temple – nothing to do with Jesus whatsoever.

No. It is not true. Have you not read your O.T.? This has to happen first.
Jeremiah 5:1-19 (KJV)
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

Jesus became our sacrifice there is no more need for animal sacrifice. This was the “law” that was done away with at the cross. Anyone who would sacrifice animals for their sins would be disbelieving in the sacrifice of Jesus. This is why the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom Matthew 27:51
And the temple will never be rebuilt.

Ezekiel’s vision of the future Temple starts around the 40th chapter, start reading there as thee are several mentions of sacrifices. The answer to your question is found in 46:13-15.
13 You shall prepare a sheep in its first year, unblemished, as a daily burnt offering for HASHEM; you shall make it every morning. 14 And you shall bring a meal- offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, a third of a hin of oil with which to mix the flour; it is a meal offering to HASHEM. As an eternal portion [to be offered] continually, 15 they shall make the sheep and the meal offering and the oil every morning as a continual burnt offering.
Yes, that would be every day.
Edit: I don’t recall any mention of chickens being sacrificed .

Apparently it does not occur to some that the Temple in Jerusalem will not be a Christian center; no matter how close it is built to the YMCA .

Perhaps you haven’t noticed that chickens, sheep and cattle are already being killed ALL OVER THE WORLD! Is Israel to be held to a higher standard once again????
Or is it that you think the *aroma* of the sacrifice is wasted on God? You do understand that the sacrifice itself is used to feed the Levites who have no other means of income, do you not? When the Temple is rebuilt, the Levites will once again become caretakers of the Temple and will use sacrifices to feed themselves and their families just as they did in the past when the Temple was standing.
Are you offended by the rest of us who enjoy the aroma, as well as the meat, in our backyard BBQ’s? Or are you simply offended about a practice common to all religions in Biblical days? Sacrifice was a way of bringing oneself closer to God. It was the Hebrew Bible that established *limits* on sacrifice. We learn from the near-sacrifice of Isaac that human sacrifice is NEVER acceptable to God. It was Christianity that re-established that practice with the sacrifice of Jesus.
