Why the Antichrist’s Final War Targets Israel

Why does the Antichrist need Israel, Jerusalem, and a rebuilt temple? This end-times Bible study traces the conflict from Genesis 3 to Revelation and explains why Israel remains central to biblical prophecy. Why does the Antichrist enter the temple, declare himself to be God, and then attempt to destroy the Jewish people? The answer is not confined to Revelation. It begins with the promised seed in Genesis 3:15 and continues through God’s covenants with Abraham, Judah, David, and Israel. This sermon follows the conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent through Scripture. Satan failed to prevent the birth of Jesus Christ, failed to keep him in the grave, and cannot stop his return. The final conflict therefore centers on the people, land, kingdom, and throne God promised to establish. This Bible study examines Revelation 12, Daniel 2, 2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24, Zechariah 12–14, Romans 11, and Revelation 19. It also considers the purpose of the rebuilt temple, the abomination of desolation, the persecution of Israel, the mark of the beast, the return of Jesus Christ, and the future kingdom centered in Jerusalem.
