When in 1967 the Muslims attacked Israel and she fought back to victory, taking the entire city of Jerusalem in the process, the Jews still allowed the Muslims to control the Temple Mount (where was the first Temple built by king Solomon), a locale of contention ever since, so the conflict ongoing there will probably be the ignitor of the war prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39, then the Tribulation Period which will follow when the Jews of Israel with the blessing of the Antichrist emerging will build a new Temple where the Antichrist will later declare himself to be the Creator, the “abomination of desolation.”
