And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
¶
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
¶
Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
NOTE: the temple is built AFTER the return of our LORD.
¶
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, G3485 and buildest it in three days,
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple,G3485 and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in templesG3485 made with hands;
And what agreement hath the templeG3485 of God with idols? for ye are the templeG3485 of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the templeG3485 of God, shewing himself that he is God.
It is absolutely necessary to acknowledge that the “temple” does not “HAS TO BE” a building
built with hands. Baal preists say that, but they are liars and will be
exposed as such in due time. Explore the greek word translated “temple” G3485

Conclusion: The teaching that anti-christ can not be revealed until the Jews rebuild the temple is FALSE. This is a spiritual war. He will defile the temple of those who accept him as Christ. He is not The Christ, he is anti-christ.
The “church” doesn’t fly away in a pre-trib rapture, it falls away to anti-christ.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
