the pope recognized as the supreme religious leader and empowered him.

Justinian the Great, was a Byzantine (East Roman) emperor from 527 to 565.
During his reign, Justinian sought to revive the empire's greatness and reconquer
the lost western half of the historical Roman Empire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne

Charlemagne reached the height of his power in 800 when he was crowned

Called the "Father of Europe", Charlemagne united most of Western Europe
for the first time since the Roman Empire.
-
3rd resurrection - Otto the Great crowned by the pope in 962AD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor

Otto I (23 November 912 – 7 May 973), also known as Otto the Great, was German
king from 936 and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 962 until his death in 973.

Following the example of Charlemagne's coronation as "Emperor of the Romans"

6th resurrection - Hitler/Mussolini empowered by Pope Pius XII.

When Benito Mussolini became the Italian leader before World War ii,
he called his regime the Holy Roman Empire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini

As Benito Mussolini’s grip on Italy tightened during the 1920s,
he proclaimed the Holy Roman Empire restored.

In February 1929, Mussolini signed a pact with the Vatican, making Roman
Catholicism the only recognized religion in fascist Italy.

This agreement, known as the Lateran Treaty, delighted Pope Pius xi,
who spoke of Mussolini as “a man sent by Providence.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateran_Treaty

The agreements included a political treaty which created the state of the Vatican
City and guaranteed full and independent sovereignty to the Holy See.

Mussolini commissioned the Via della Conciliazione (Road of the Conciliation),
which would symbolically link the Vatican City to the heart of Rome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_XII_and_the_Holocaust
Some post-war critics have accused Pius of either being overly cautious, or of "not doing enough,"
or even of "silence" in the face of the Holocaust.

government through an Imperial Legate at Ravenna, Italy, and brought about
what is known as the “Imperial Restoration” of the empire

Revelation 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose

see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings?
there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

miknik5 Are you denying that the temple was destroyed in 70 AD along with the religion of judaism? If it makes you feel better, they are trying to rebuild the temple now (again). We shall see if they succeed or if God will destroy it again like He did in the past:

"the project of rebuilding the temple was aborted because each time the workers tried to build the temple using the existing substructure, they were burned by terrible flames coming from inside the earth and an earthquake negated what work was made:"

I do not know. As I stated, they are currently wanting to rebuild it, obstacles are in the way and history has shown us that numerous times they have failed (in 140, 360, 400, 600, 1967....). So there is a great chance this one will go to the rocks as well.
Does not really matter at all to me, I am in Finland so let the middle-east blow themselves up over a couple of buildings.

Why would God destroy the temple and then want it rebuilt and animal sacrifices reinstituted? That does not make much sense and seems to contradict the book of Hebrews quite a bit, particularly chapter 10.

As for the temple, you do know that WE are the temple of God?

Will another temple be rebuilt?
No.

Are the Jews waiting for another temple?
Some of them might be.

Are they planning to build another temple?
Some of them might be planning. And some of them might be buying and selling and planting and building.

How can the one mentioned in both daniel and 2thesselonians 2 build Jerusalem during troublous times, take away the daily sacrifice and sit in the temple declaring himself to be god if there isn't another temple standing?
I think the "troublous times" temple was already built during the 70 weeks. That's the one that Jesus said "behold your house is left unto you desolate and where Jesus sat in when He looked up to see a poor widow.


2 thesselonians 2? I might be able to show a way how this has just been fulfilled without the need for a rebuilt earthly temple. Paul was likely drawing from Daniel 8 and Matthew 23 where Jesus said:

"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat"


"The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses"


They have "seated themselves".

"so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God


"so that he sets himself up in God's temple,

"So he will seat himself in the temple of God,


He will "seat himself".

Moses was the teacher of the Law, the Word of God. He was long gone when Jesus said this so the Scribes and the Pharisees had really just taken over his job or his "seat", which was Moses' place in the Temple of God.

Our end time Antichrist has thought to take over God's job, rising up to the Place of His Sanctuary, by influencing the shift in morality, seeking to change times and the Law and promoting the trend in increased lawlessness. "Anti" can also mean "in place of". And the dragon gives this thing it's power and throne and great authority.

God said: "Remember the Sabbath", "You shall not murder", "You shall not commit adultery" and "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination".

The Antichrist says: forget about the Sabbath, legalize pornography, legalize abortion, legalize same sex marriage and have a sexual revolution.

When the Man of Sin seeks to change these specific times and these particular Laws, he by default has magnified himself above all that is called God or is worshiped and has set himself up in God's "seat" of authority in God's Temple thereby claiming to BE God. This is blasphemy to God and slanders his name and his dwelling place which is in the Temple in Heaven, not a rebuilt one on earth.
"Worship" comes from the word "proskuneo" and can also mean to "submit to" or "to obey".

I wouldn't be waiting for a temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Or waiting to see a man of sin sitting in it.

Peaceful Sabbath.

"Anti" can also mean "in place of". And the dragon gives this thing it's power and throne and great authority.

God said: "Remember the Sabbath", "You shall not murder", "You shall not commit adultery" and "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination".

The Antichrist says: forget about the Sabbath, legalize pornography, legalize abortion, legalize same sex marriage and have a sexual revolution.

When the Man of Sin seeks to change these specific times and these particular Laws, he by default has magnified himself above all that is called God or is worshiped and has set himself up in God's "seat" of authority in God's Temple thereby claiming to BE God. This is blasphemy to God and slanders his name and his dwelling place which is in the Temple in Heaven, not a rebuilt one on earth.
"Worship" comes from the word "proskuneo" and can also mean to "submit to" or "to obey".

I wouldn't be waiting for a temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Or waiting to see a man of sin sitting in it.

Peaceful Sabbath.

That doesn't address "HE who holds all things back " as spoken in 2 Thessalonians 2

While HE is on the world, HE holds things back
wgen HE is taken out of the world, then evil will have full reign
