The Anti-christ is Coming! Sign of the Times

Could the rebuilt Temple be next to the Mosque of Omar?
Ever since Jesus cried "It is finished", there has never been and never will be need for another sacrifice.  The word says, "For they (Israel) being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God."  Romans 10:3 
The Orthodox Jews are preparing to restore the 3rd temple and begin offering animal sacrifices again. This is only because they have not embraced the true Messiah - Yeshua.  God will allow this 3rd temple to be rebuilt, probably by the anti-christ, who establishes a long awaited "Peace" agreement with Israel and all of it's Islamic neighbors. Riding on the white horse of Revelation 6, the anti-christ comes with a bow and appears as the solution to all the world's problems.  The bow of Rev. 6 has no arrows, so he conquers Israel and the world peacefully. Following this appearance of the anit-christ and the opening of the Jewish temple and temple sacrifices, after 3 1/2 years the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel will occur.  The anti-christ will break his covenant with Israel and set up an image to himself, thereby defiling the rebuilt temple. This begins the great persecution and scattering of Israel again to the nations. This will be the great awakening of Israel to the true Messiah.  They will convert in a day and see Him (Jesus) whom they pierced and realize that He alone can save them. Revelation 7 teaches that God will bring forth a mighty army of 144,000 witnesses to began taking the gospel of the kingdom around the world.  Along with the two witnesses that appear on the streets of Jerusalem with miraculous power, a great revival and restoration of the Jewish nation will evidence. We see the formation of all these things begin to happen in front of our eyes.  Jesus said in Luke 21:36 "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."  

 What are the promises given to us?
  • 1. We are not children of darkness that that day should overtake us as a thief.
  • 2. We are not children of wrath and will not suffer the judgments of the tribulation.
  • 3. We will be able to take advantage of helping many come to Christ during this time of great tribulation. In fact the greatest harvest of souls on earth comes during the tribulation as many will desperately turn to Christ.  Revelation 7:9
