When will the Antichrist defile the temple in Jerusalem?

The Antichrist will defile the temple in Jerusalem at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation, after three and a half years have elapsed. This is the exact middle of that seven-year period, and it is when he comes into the temple and defiles it.

Les explains that this event happens at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation. He notes that after the first three and a half years have gone by, the Antichrist comes into the temple at Jerusalem and defiles it. Les points back to his timeline, reminding us that this is the midpoint of the tribulation. He also references Matthew 24, verse 15, as the passage that describes this defiling.

Matthew 24:15

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
