That is why American Fundamentalists have the nostalgia for restored Israel ... and they tend to (alone in the chr*stian world) even support the rebuilding of the Temple and the reinstitution of sacrifices (which European chr*stians would probably define as "the reign of antichrist"). I would think that an ex-Christian fundamentalist such as yourself would know that Christian fundamentalists support the rebuilding of the Temple precisely because they see a literal temple as a necessary prerequisite for the second coming of Christ -- and that, in part, precisely because the anti-Christ first needs a temple to literally sit in and "show himself to be God," as St. Paul writes.

John Hagee is so pro-Israel he denies that the antichrist will ever rule over the Jewish people.
In one of the greatest ironies of all time, anyone claiming to be G-d automatically disqualifies himself from being Mashiach, and the only one who has so far claimed that title is worshipped by chr*stians who claim to be on the lookout for a man claiming to be G-d!
