(from Deborah's link) The March Toward Tyranny: The Man On Horseback

"The Man on Horseback

He makes his first appearance in Revelation 6 as a conqueror riding a white horse.⁸ (Strangely, he is carrying a bow rather than a sword. The term is toxon - toxon in the Greek, first used as a token of a covenant in Genesis 9:13. Could this be an allusion to the covenant that he enforces in Daniel 9:27?)" 

Dear Doves,

This is interesting!!!

When I looked up the translation from Greek to English for toxon, it translates as "arc", not "token" as stated!  Arc of a covenant?  Arc of THE Covenant?

Could it be that he pretends to find or produces the actual Arc of the Covenant?  That would be THE major sign to the Jews that he was their messiah, and then for sure all of Israel would insist the Temple be rebuilt!  Oh Wow, check THIS out!  I just now found another link!

In it is this paragraph:

Bible Prophecy speaks plainly that another Temple will exist at some time in the future (e.g. see The Abomination Of Desolation).

But, right now, and for the foreseeable future, there is very little political will in Israel to build it.That would change however, literally overnight, if the Ark of The Covenant, containing the actual tablets of stone on which were written The Ten Commandments by God Himself, were to be found. The presence of such a sacred object would absolutely demand the presence of a sacred Temple.

Emphasis in RED is mine.
