It holds my interest, even though I believe us Christians will be gone by the time the antichrist enters the third temple proclaiming himself as God. In order for that future temple to be built Islam will have to relinquish control of the Temple Mount and in order for that to happen it looks like much blood will first be spilt.
So it's importance is it is an indicator of how close we are to the coming tribulation. (Tossed)

I'm not sure it is necessary for Islam to abandon their claim to the Temple Mount.
That emboldened portion of v. 2 indicates to me that the Outer Court, that of the Gentiles, is unimportant to God in His coming Kingdom reign through Christ on Earth. In other words, let the Dome of the Rock stand for now. It won't exist in the coming Kingdom.
Revelation 11, NASB
1 Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, "Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.

Some groups in Israel are expecting the situation to change eventually, though I don't know their views on how. They already have the priests garments, all kinds of accessories made out of pure gold, even the alter made. Everything they need for the inside of the temple is already made and standing by. This isn't a very recent development though. They have had most of these things for at least a couple of years.

Oops, my bad. I didn't intend to say "Revelation" there, but "prophecy."
The signing of the "firm covenant" or treaty is the beginning of the Tribulation.
Daniel 9 NASB
27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

yes, and in order for the sacrifices v.27 there needs be a Temple.

Your right, red heifer ashes had slipped my mind. They aren't extinct to the best of my knowledge (are you sure about that? I have seen photos of them), there is a project involving raising a herd of them as well.

I don't think they can just buy one from out of the country and bring it in. It has to be blemish free and there are all other kinds of requirements for it that Im not familiar with.

Personally, I think a new Temple gets built before this treaty, but it is possible the treaty makes construction possible, also. The bottom line is as I wrote earlier, that the Dome doesn't need to go in order for the Temple to be built. That treaty could potentially force the Jewish community to accept that they can't build on the Temple Mount without protecting the integrity of the Dome, and force the Muslims to accept the Jewish presence without interference. I can't really see that happening, but with God, anything is possible.
