I'm sure there are people around here who could give you a better answer than I, but since no one else seems interested in responding, I'll answer anyway.
The Torah has nothing like that whatsoever. That stuff is all confined to the latter half of the Nevi'im, and there is much less of it in there than you might think. "Apocalyptic" trends really only developed near the very end of the period of composition of so-called "Old Testament" literature, and Daniel is the only book which is explicitly apocalyptic in character. There are scattered prophecies in a few earlier books in the Nevi'im (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Jeremiah mainly) that eventually also served as bedrock for eschatological speculation by later Jewish exegetes, though.
Everything in the TaNaKh was composed long before the Second Temple was actually destroyed, so there is nothing in there about a Third Temple.

@Daniel031 Everything I just referred to is actually in the Bible. The part of the Bible which Christians call the "Old Testament" is actually three anthologies of Jewish literature. The Torah ("teaching") is one of the three anthologies, the Nevi'im ("prophets") is another, and the Ketuvim ("writings") is the third. The contents of these three books combined are identical to the contents of the Protestant version of the Old Testament, although the order of the books is different in the Christian editions.
The term TaNaKh is just composed of the Hebrew letters we render as T, N, and K (the first letter of each of the three anthologies), made into their own word and pronounced, so TaNaKh essentially means the same thing as "Protestant Old Testament".
The Torah is just the first five books of the Bible, Genesis through Deuteronomy.

@Keraunos The last books of the Tanach were written in the days of rebuilding of the second temple , Ezra and Nechemia , which was about 400 years before it's destruction.
