Sherry,
 
You make some interesting arguments. I hope you are wrong though because I'm so tired and want to get out of here.
 
You suggest that the church is the true temple and that God would not recognize any physical rebuilt temple even if one were built and therefore it is a spiritual fulfillment this time and not physical.
Obviously they are ready to build a new temple in Israel and they cannot do so as long as the Dome of the Rock is in the way but they are supposedly going to find that the true location will be right up next to that profane place etc.
 
 20.  He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
 
(I am not aware of such separation being associated with any other temple in Israel's history, are you? But there certainly will be with the new temple if it is right up next to that rock place.)
 
My point is that even though technically you are correct, yet God seems to be willing to let them build this temple and go through their paces of thinking they are worshiping Him again at their temple and that they have found their messiah at last and all that only to find out that the one whom they had received in his own name was in fact their arch enemy all along and finally they will look on Him whom they have pierced and will then say blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord etc. God will let them have their way with their temple even though it is not the proper way to worship God in spirit and in truth until they get it figured out. So it can still be the fulfillment of the abomination of desolation again.
 
To go even further, Ron Wyatt said that the angels in the cave told him that the ten commandments would be set up on public display during the tribulation and that people would be attempting to keep them again until they finally see that they can never please God this way and will accept what Jesus did in their place. It all makes sense to me that way. Just because God's easy way was rejected and people insist on keeping with the old way and God has moved on from the old way, as long as people insist on the old way, God seems to be willing to wait for them to catch up and let them have their way until they get it figured out. He doesn't say, sorry that way is no longer recognized and you are toast for trying that. Many who are trying that way will be saved during the tribulation as they see how wrong they were for rejecting the better way. We however who already accept the new and better way have no need that we go through any of this test. That is why we can be caught up any time before it begins.
 
As for the he who now lets thing, the old English word LET used to mean hinder as in LET BALL in tennis still means a ball hitting the net and being hindered thereby. He who now LETS will LET until he be taken out of the way. I hope that is us who are the salt of the earth and the light that dispels darkness preserving this world as long as we are in it until we be taken out of the way. I have heard your point before that we go up when Satan goes down and it sounds possible but it seems to impose on the idea of imminence that even Paul looked for our catching away in his day which he never should have if there must come the first half of the trib first. Is that correct?
 
Just talkin stuff out...
