If that happens I’m going to rethink my position in light of Dan 9:27. The antichrist makes a 7 year peace with the Jews.
This may put me in tinfoil hat territory, but peace with the Jews that includes a palestinian capitol in Jerusalem is a clear biblical indication that the shit has hit the fan.

Somehow, Abbas does not seem to have enough stature to be the Antichrist-though he certainly could be considered a midget antichrist. Also, I thought the temple was supposed to be restored before the Antichrist strides onto the scene?

The Bible does not indicate when the new temple would be built, but it does say in the Daniel's 70 Weeks passage of Daniel 7:24-27 that the AC would commit the abomination of desolation during the mid-point - ie 3.5 years after the start of the covenant/treaty. By the way, though it is implied, The Bible does not say it will be a peace treaty, only a treaty of some sort. And rather than a treaty, the Hebrew word means a confirmation of an existing covenant. And, it does not explicitly say the covenant is with Israel - just with many nations. Many assumptions people make.
This is an interesting transcript and audio of Pastor Nathan Leal who is interviewed by Doug Hagmann where Nathan claims that the abomination of desolation is not a declaration by the AC that he is god, rather the reinstitution of atoning sacrifice, a blasphemous act stating what Christ did on The Cross was not sufficient. It's pretty compelling.
