What will the Antichrist guarantee for Israel?
The Antichrist will guarantee Israel’s borders and sovereignty, and he will enhance their return to temple worship. Israel will have the temple back for the first three and a half years of the Tribulation, because he comes with flatteries and political manipulation rather than military force.
Les explains that Revelation 6 pictures the white horse and rider with a bow but no arrows, which he equates with Daniel’s Antichrist. This figure comes on the scene with flatteries and political manipulation, not military force. He promises everything the world and the nation of Israel are waiting to hear. To Israel specifically, he will guarantee their borders, their sovereignty, and he will actually enhance their return to temple worship. Les says he does not know how this will happen, but Israel will have the temple back for the first three and a half years. The world will think he is the answer to all their dilemmas and perplexities, and they will welcome him with open arms.
