   The Temple doesn't need to be built for the Rapture   
   to happen. The Rapture could happen at any time.   
      
   This is how I believe things will play out after the   
   Rapture, based on what the Bible tells us about the   
   seven-year Tribulation. and the Antichrist's role   
   during that time:   
      
   The Bible prophesies a big war in Ezekiel 37 and 38,   
   which may be what leads to the Rapture, and also to   
   the unveiling of the Antichrist to the world after   
   that war is ended supernaturally by God -- but the   
   Antichrist steps forward and takes credit for the   
   peace.   
      
   After that war ends, with Israel still intact after   
   having been attacked by a coalition of countries   
   that are defeated, the Antichrist will be a hero   
   to the people of Israel. They will believe that   
   he is responsible for the peace, and the defeated   
   countries will see him as very powerful since he   
   will have them convinced that he brought about   
   the peace (though it was actually brought about   
   supernaturally by God).   
      
   This will give the Antichrist great power to tell   
   the world that he will oversee the rebuilding of   
   the Temple, and the defeated countries in the war   
   (of Ezekiel 37 and 38), which the Antichrist will   
   appear to have stopped -- those defeated countries   
   will not have the power to stop the Antichrist from   
   overseeing the rebuilding of the Temple.   
      
   For the first three and a half years of the seven   
   year Tribulation, things will seem good between the   
   Antichrist and the people of Israel. The Temple will   
   be rebuilt, the Antichrist will be a hero -- but at   
   the midpoint of the seven-year Tribulation, the   
   Antichrist will walk into the Temple and proclaim   
   himself to be God -- and that's when all hell breaks   
   loose.   
      
   The final three and a half years of the Tribulation   
   will be horrific. All of this is detailed in the   
   Book of Revelation, with other details in the Old   
   Testament Book of Daniel. It really is amazing the   
   way the books of the Bible all fit together so well.   
   It's as if the writers of the Bible were Divinely   
   Inspired or something.
