What happens when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel?
The signing of a seven-year treaty with Israel restarts God's time clock, and seven literal years unfold before Christ returns. At the midpoint, the Antichrist causes sacrifice and oblation to cease, stopping Temple worship, which indicates Israel will have rebuilt and be operating her Temple by then.
Les explains that when the 483 years were completed and Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom, God put His whole program on hold, and His time clock stopped for the last 1,900 and some years. This treaty signing is the triggering mechanism that kicks God's time clock back in gear. Once this individual signs a seven-year treaty with Israel, seven literal years unfold, and then Christ returns. In the middle of the week, he causes the sacrifice and the oblation to cease—Temple worship stops. For Temple worship to stop, it must be in operation, so Israel will rebuild her Temple and have it operating by the midpoint of the seven years. Les suggests the Antichrist will be an apostate Jew, because Israel will be enraptured with him as he promises the peace and prosperity they have been looking for, guarantees their borders against their enemies, and gives them permission for Temple worship.
