Just because the AC causes the sacrifices in the rebuilt temple to cease in the trib midpoint does not follow/require that the AC's covenant is with Israel allowing them to build the temple.......

ALL of Israelis enemies are toast, done, gone in the Gog Magog war, leaving Israel to build the temple without getting permission from anyone......all those crazy neighbors are dead........
Imho Israel's supernatural deliverance in the Gog war causes the Jews to build the temple, not ""permission"" from the AC ......

imho the covenant with many (( agreement between many people)) that the AC signs agrees with, will imho have to do with setting up the one world govt....... the Gog Magog war has made Israel a secondary issue because all the arabs Iranians are dead......

note also that the AC does NOT Have world wide power at the time of the covenant, he is just one of many leaders...... the AC only rules as world leader 3 1/2 years
