So chronology and relationship (if any) of these 3 events should fit together:
Event 1. Death of Raja Jai singh. One referece says:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Alamgir was about fift years old when his downward course began. Raja Jai Singh, the old and able ruler of Amber, who had faithfully served under two generations of Mughals, died on July 10th, 1667...The raja was hardly gone before the emporer began to persecute the Hindus. Discontent from this cause became general in the beginning of 1669, when the great temple of Keshav Dev was demolished at Muttra, and a Mosque erected which still stands at the site.

Event 2. Destruction of Sri Krishna Janma Bhumi temple. Several sources unanimously place this date to February 1669, as per previous posts of yours and mine.
Event 3. Rebellion of Jats under Gokul (Kokil in old sources) in Mathura region. Remember we are talking about Jat rebellion and not Bundel rebellion here. Both have taken place at around the similar times (?). Orchha was center of Bundel rebels, while Kota, Mathura, Bharatpur etc. of Jat rebellion.
So per your inputs, following two inferences can be drawn:
a) Jat rebellion happened AFTER the destruction of the temple, not before. (therefore could not be the reason for the temple destruction)
b) Raja Jai Singh led the Mughal armies to quell Jat rebellion, though a LATER rebellion, after the one of Gokul. (Therefore both rebellions must have happened while Jai Singh was alive)
Both of the above, don't go well together, due to the chronology. Therefore there must be an inaccuracy in one of the above dates or relationships. Which one is that? What is wrong?
Digvijay, is it possible for you to please verify from Rajput sources the date when Jai Singh died, and his role in Jat rebellion, led by Gokul and Churaman?
