Does the Antichrist give Israel permission to rebuild the temple?
Yes. According to the transcript, the Antichrist gives Israel permission to build the temple. This occurs as part of the seven-year period, after he makes a peace treaty with Israel in the Middle East. The two witnesses also appear in Jerusalem at that same time.
Les explains that some people think the peace treaty is the one from Daniel 9:25, but he is not convinced it will hold. He emphasizes that the Antichrist will be an ordinary human being, born of woman, flesh and blood, much like Judas, used by Satan. He will be a charismatic political manipulator, able to command attention at summit meetings. He will make a peace treaty with Israel in the Middle East. By the time he returns to his headquarters, likely in Europe, other events occur at the opening of the seven years. The two witnesses appear in Jerusalem, and the Antichrist has given Israel permission to build the temple.
