What happens to the Jews when the Antichrist sets up his rule from the temple?

When the Antichrist establishes his rule and reign from the temple, the Jews will once again come under the domination of Gentile armies. They will surely be back under the boot of the Gentile armies, indicating subjection and oppression. This means they are again subjected to Gentile military power.

Les teaches that the Antichrist's rule and reign from the temple will put the Jews once more under the boot of the Gentile armies. This continues the pattern in the transcript: from 606 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem, destroyed it and the temple, and took Israel captive, with only a few returning. By 400 B.C., Ezra and Nehemiah built the restored temple that stood when Jesus made His First Coming. King Herod later remodeled and enlarged it into a wonder of the ancient world. That temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. by Roman General Titus, and the Jews were sent into complete dispersion, with most sent out into every nation under heaven. So when the Antichrist sets up his rule from the temple, the Jews are again under Gentile military subjection.
