The Arab-Israeli War of 1967, also known as Israel’s Six Days' War, or June War, was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. At the end of the six days’ war Israel captured the Holy Temple mount located in
Jerusalem and with this God ordained conquest
Israel once again controlled the holiest site in Judaism for the first time in over 2,300 years.
Despite Israel's incredible victory against Arab foes that dramatically out numbered them, plus their miraculous recovery of the land where the first and second Temples once stood, for reasons known only to God Himself in order to fulfill His Holy calendar in the affairs of Israel, the Israeli government turned over authority of the temple mount to the Moslems.
In regard to the rebuilding of the third
temple, the question that many ask today
is; will the Muslims always control the temple Mount? The prophet Daniel 9:27 was specific about the future of the temple mount in Jerusalem.
Daniel's 70th Week prophecy regarding the Holy Temple mount starts on the eve of Passover.
1. Elijah will come back on Passover in fulfillment of Jewish expectations & prophecy.
2. Elijah will decry the antichrist for 1260 days - Revelation 11:3
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD” Malachi 4:1-5
This period of 1260 days reappears throughout end time prophecy.
Take note of these event-filled 3 1/2 Biblical years:
Antichrist's false peace will reign over the world for 1260 days - Daniel 12:7
Antichrist kills and persecutes Christians freely for 1260 days - Revelation 13:5
“And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week (7 years of 360 days each = 2520 days). And in the middle of the week (halfway through 2520 days = 1260 days) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the corner of the altar, desolating abominations, even until the end.” Daniel 9:27
After 1260 days antichrist goes in to the temple and breaks the treaty of Daniel 9:27. When antichrist desecrates the temple, those in Israel who thought he was Messiah will realize that he is a False Messiah ... antichrist will no longer be able to rule from Jerusalem.
The abomination of desolation takes place 1260 days AFTER the treaty of Daniel 9:27 is signed. 1260 days after Passover is Tabernacles, another typologically significant Feast of Israel. The Feast of Tabernacles alludes to another significant prophetic event,/\.
Some religious Jews believe that the messiah himself will miraculously come and build a new temple in Jerusalem. However, the Bible points out that it will be men that rebuild the third Temple and messiah will come soon after.
The anti-Christ, under the power given him by Satan, will counterfeit Biblical prophecies, including the restoration of temple sacrifices, and will appear to be Israel’s long awaited Messiah.
