The timeline (42 months) that John was told the Gentiles will tread the holy city and the temple underfoot is most significant as it coincides with the time of the Beast, vide; Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
I have no doubt that we are all familiar with the above texts. So in conjunction with 2 Thess 2:4, isn't this the irrefutable proof that finally puts to bed the discussion whether a brick and mortar temple will be built prior to the coming of the Antichrist?
Although, some hold the view that the temple mentioned in Rev 11:1-2 is symbolic, what's your opinion?
