When does the Antichrist defile the temple in Jerusalem during the tribulation?
The Antichrist defiles the temple in Jerusalem at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation, after three and a half years have passed. At that midpoint, he comes into the temple and defiles it. This timing connects with Matthew 24:15, the verse referenced in connection with this midpoint event.
Les teaches that the seven-year tribulation has a midpoint. After three and a half years have gone by, the Antichrist comes into the temple at Jerusalem and defiles it. He places this event at the midpoint of the tribulation timeline. Les then points to Matthew 24, asking what verse it is and settling on verse 15, linking that verse to the Antichrist's defiling of the temple.
