I used to think that it was necessary to have the some of the rock removed before the 3rd temple could be built. I am beginning to think that just the opposite is necessary. More and more research is pointing to the ability, geographically speaking, for the temple to be built without tearing down the dome.There is the Muslim temple called the Dome of the Rock where Herod's Temple used to be. Further south on the old temple platform is Al Aksa Mosque. The place was called Mt. Moriah in the Old Testament.
If the Jews destroy the Muslim temples in an effort to build their own, there might be an invasion of Arab armies.
Firstly, I believe the great tribulation begins WITHOUT knowing who the man of sin is. It is his sudden attack on Jerusalem that reveals who he is. But (neighsayers) would say, the AoD appears before the G.T. begins. The Olivet Discourse does not say "when you see the AoD 'SITTING ' in the holy place... then flee". It says standing where it ought not. Jesus never referred to the AoD as a "person", but as a thing.
Secondly, God's wrath is revealed from heaven (Romans 1:18) against those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. The great tribulation is encompassed by the time of Jacob's trouble, the revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
What would anger God to vent his anger against people that do not even know Christ, being Jews? There is but one God. A presentation of God, by the "Jews" in the form of temple worship in Jerusalem, ALONGSIDE a Muslim temple (the dome), to me, would fit the billing for a righteous revelation of God's wrath. Surprisingly, many Muslims are in favor of allowing Jews to worship God, even in Jerusalem. A peaceful coexistence, may just be the ticket to peace in the middle east. But for God , to look down on the city called by his name , His Holy City, and tolerate idolatry to co - exist with worship of him [I am a jealous God], could very well be what Jesus meant when you see the AoD, standing, WHERE IT OUGHT NOT, then let them flee.
HOW that could happen might not be a simple matter. Here is my hypothetical scenario, based on a verse in Daniel 11:
*[[Dan 11:31]] KJV* And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
What if the sanctuary of strength is actually the Muslim Dome? In an attempt to destroy the Jewish embassy, the dome gets hit by a stray missile or bomb. It possibly exposes, thru excavation, the true spot where Solomon's temple existed. Mutual cooperation allows the "rebuilding" of both shrines to Jews and Muslims. What would be the resulting sentiment? Peace at last, thank God almighty, we have peace at last. Peace and safety. Do those words ring a bell? I don't believe that the "Covenant with many" in the book of Daniel, is a covenant made by a man (with Israel), but is actually God confirming the Abrahamic covenant, by allowing sacrifices to resume. The purpose of which is to bring all Israel to Jerusalem for judgment. I believe that there are many Arabs (thy seed shall be as numerous as the sand of the sea, but out of thee shall a remnant return ) who worship Mohammed, who constitute the whereabouts of the lost 10 tribes. What better way to get them all together but to have temples for both Islam and Jew, in Jerusalem. I do think that putting tree embassy in Jerusalem, is a significant step towards restoring sacrifices in a Jewish temple.
