I believe the Jews will build a new temple in Jerusalem. They have the materials gathered; last year they consecrated an altar to be used in it, & they've been breeding animals such as red heifers to be used in temple rites. The only thing holding them back is timing. They don't want to start WW3.
And a new temple is necessary for the beast/antichrist to commit the "abomination of desolation" in, It was NOT done in the old temple before it was destroyed. And it WILL occur; that's a prophecy from Jesus Himself.
And what will the AOD be? The beast will enter the temple, accompanied by his sidekick the false prophet, set up a statue of himself in it, which the FP will supernaturally make speak, and declare himself God. That type was done by Antiochus Epiphanes in the 160s BC when he entered the temple, set up a statue of Zeus in it, & sacrificed a pig on the altar. Differences will be that the beast, who won't recognize any other god, will set up a statue of himself, rather than anything recognized as a god, & the FP, by Satan's power, will make that statue speak. I don't believe he will offer any animal on the altar, as he will recognize only himself as God, but he will definitely end the Jewish sacrifices on it.
YOUR opinions, please ?
