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:9:27). 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).
