There is no point in striving to circumcise yourself today, when the Third Temple has not been built yet. Although those who have maintained their carnal ties with the Jewish people, they are doing it today and this is right for them.
In the Eastern Gate of the Third Temple should enter the "bride of God", the Church, in the person of its representatives from all church communities from all nations of the world. These people are mostly uncircumcised, and this is normal.
But after 10 Tishrei, after Yom Kippur, the Lord God of Israel will settle in the Temple, the "bride of God" will become the "wife of God", that is, the Israeli people, and this people should be circumcised.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that [is] among the children of Israel. (Ezekiel 44:9)
Upon hearing this, some begin to resent, and they quote a verse:
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. (1 Corinthians 7:19)
They point to "circumcision is nothing". Similarly, we can point them to the second phrase from the same Bible verse:
uncircumcision is nothing
uncircumcision is nothing
uncircumcision is nothing
If someone seeks to maintain his status of uncircumcised, then it is as meaningless as proud of his circumcision.
We know that all of the Israeli people, with the exception of two, were not circumcised when they entered the Land of Testament.
And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised. (Joshua 5:4,5)
Since the people who enter the Eastern Gate of the Temple belong to the tribes of Israel, they will also be circumcised.

A similar example we have in Jesus Christ.
Why did the holy and righteous Jesus Christ need to be baptized?
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. (Matthew 3:13-15)
We will say the same thing: we must circumcise ourselves because for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
