What description of the Messiah are the rabbis looking for, according to Les?
The rabbis' expected Messiah is described as the perfect description of the man of sin: a man who will rule the world in peace, elevate Israel to the epitome of all nations, and bring global peace through Israel's Messiah. This expectation matches the man of sin who later signs a seven-year treaty.
Les teaches that the rabbis' comments in the Jerusalem Post reveal they expect a Messiah who is the perfect description of the man of sin. They look for a man who will rule the world in peace, elevate Israel to the epitome of all nations, and let all nations enjoy peace flowing from their Messiah ruling Israel. Les explains this figure will sign a seven-year treaty with Israel. The Jews will think they have finally arrived, no longer needing a massive military, able to lower taxes and enjoy domestic prosperity. But in the middle of the week he stops it all, turns on the Jew, and ushers in the final three and a half years. Les notes he likely goes down to Jerusalem from his headquarters in Europe, moves into the Temple complex, defiles the Temple, and forces the Jew to worship him as God. It will be Hitler's Nazism all over again, only a thousand times worse.
