Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt
Unquestionably, the Jewish Temple will be rebuilt on its ancient site. This is the clear teaching of Scripture. Daniel declares that the Antichrist will enforce upon the world a seven-year “covenant” that will entail the rebuilding of the temple and re-institution of animal sacrifices: “…and in the midst of the week [i.e., final seven-year period marking ‘Daniel’s seventieth week’] he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease” (Daniel:9:27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
See All...). He could hardly cause sacrifices to cease that hadn’t been resumed, and sacrifices could only be offered in the Temple, so it must have been rebuilt at this time under the terms of his “covenant.”
Antichrist will control the world, force everyone to accept the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, and pose as Israel’s friend and protector. In reality, however, he is planning to put his image in the Temple and will demand to be worshiped as God by all mankind (Revelation:13:8-9 [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
