What will the Antichrist do when he enters the temple?
The Antichrist will enter the temple and defile it, desecrate it, and perform acts of abomination. This will be epitomized by the offering of a hog on the altar at the temple in Jerusalem, mirroring Antiochus's earlier sacrifice of a sow.
Les explains that when the Antichrist enters the temple, he will defile it, desecrate it, and perform acts of abomination, epitomized by offering a hog on the altar in Jerusalem. This mirrors Antiochus, who sacrificed a sow on the altar, causing horror to the Jews. Les places this at the midpoint of the seven-year treaty, after Israel has had relative freedom to worship for three and a half years while the Antichrist remains in his European headquarters. He connects this to Matthew 24 and notes the great Russian invasion as a prior event.
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
