The Jerusalem Temple Mount will continue to becomethe world's hottest location &focul point in the news & world events of these End Times.It is sacred to the 3 religions who desire the legal rights to the MOUNT: Judaism, Islam and the Roman Catholic church. [Zech 12:1-3].
the coming 3rd Temple...
Bible prophecy is clear that once a 7year Mideast Peace agreement is signed by the End Time antichrist, then the 3rd Templein Jerusalemwill be built withinthe 1st 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation.
Revelation 11:2 clearly speaks of a temple which is already built by the Mid-7 yearpoint, which Revelation pinpoints as being Chapter 13:1. [ see graph below ]
World reaction to the 3rd Temple:
Without a doubt, the constructing of this 3rd Temple during this first 3 1/2 year period will be a prime cause of the massive bloodshed, terror & death that will occur worldwide at that time. A "fourth" of the earth will die within months of the "start" of this 7 year period, partly from war. [Rev.6:4,8] [ see: horsemen of Revelation ]
Once it is completed, then Antichrist will be the ultimate world leader who will enter into the 3rd Templeat the exact Mid-7year point of the 7 year Tribulation period.
The man of sin "takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as be- ing God." (2 Thess.2:4; Rev.13:1-18; Dan. 9:27). [ *View News / Abomination of Des ]
This act will launch the Great Tribulation period, the most horrific & deathly 3 1/2 year period that will ever occur in world history, all at the hands of Antichrist.
Major Bible prophecy soon to be fulfilled ....

Mid-7 year point
Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem; most sacred location in the world to Muslims.
The "wailing Wall" [ foreground ] is Israel's most sacred site, & is only yards away from the Dome of the Rock. The WALL was reconstructed with left-over sacred stones from the original 2nd Temple.
Today's Temple grid [ shown below ] is a sectioned off 35 acre lot in east Jerusalem. The western wailing wall is the only actual ancient remains leftover from the 2nd Temple of 2000 years ago when the Roman Empire destroyed it in 70AD.
Since the re-birth of Israel as a nation in 1948, Israel & Jews worldwide are even more keenly aware of the absence of a Jerusalem temple for Jews to worship in.
After Israel's 1st temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by enemies, a 2nd temple was built (before Christ) only to be destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70AD.
Now, after almost 2000 years of having no temple, construction of the 3rd JerusalemTemple is a thriving dialogue amongst the Jews of Israel. Prophetically, this is right on time with all other End Time prophec- ies which have divinely lined up together.
Construction of the 3rd Jerusalem temple willbegin soon after the signing of the 7 year Mideast Peace Agree- ment. [ Rev.11:2 ]
The temple will be finished completely by the Mid-7 year point. Revelation 11:2 states that the new Temple "will be tread under foot by the Gentiles for 42 months", during the next 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation.
