Of course, this is assuming it's coming in the near future. |
I'm a bit rusty, but I think it is a bit more along these lines-
- Anti-Christ gains power as a world leader
Somehow works out a 7 year peace agreement with Israel (between them and who I don't really know, I assume the Palestinians and/or the neighboring Arab states). His role is as a leader and mediator, but not the Messiah.
- It is during this time the 3rd Temple is supposed to be constructed in preparation for the coming of the Messiah.
- Halfway through the 7 year period, the anti-christ betrays the people of Israel, and I believe they are driven out of the country and into the desert. Anti-christ will shut down all worship, enter the holy of holies in the Temple, and declare himself God. However, my guess is the Jews will probably have a pretty good idea he is not.
I'm probably off somewhat too, and like Lerk said, it is highly subject to interpretation.
