Menachem, look at the Aim Habanim Semacha Perek 3, who brings the Yerushalmi Perek 5 of Maaser Sheni mishna 2 and the Tosfas Yom Tov there paskening like Rebbi Yosi in the mishna quoting the Yerushalmi above. So first we must build the Beis Hamikdash and on top will come the one of fire. The Rambam might be talking if we don’t built it ourselves, then Meshiach will build it. There are two proofs two this. One in Shmonei Esrei, the bracha for building the Beis Hamikdash is before the coming of Meshiach. Two, the coming of the wall of fire which we daven in Nachem on Tisha B’ov says סביב לה, around it, around what? It will come around the one we build ourselves.
