Do you NOT understand that this projected Third Temple may very well be the one that the AntiChrist enters to commit the Abomination of Desolations? This so-called Third Temple is not the one to be built by Jesus Christ, is it?
I am aware of that. However Antichrist needs to enter the Temple and proclaim himself God for the final 3.5 years to start.
The first Abomination of Desolation occurred in 167 BCE when Antiocus placed a statue of Zeus in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. That was the Second Temple. You can read about how it came to be built in Ezra and Nehemiah.
Are you saying that just because your reading between the lines in Daniel 9 that the Third Temple should not be built, because evil might desecrate it?
Desolations all right...
The SCOTUS decision not only came down of the 9th of Tammuz, that day was the eve of the Sabbath for Torah portion CHUKAT, which describes the ordinances for the red heifer (posted at #19 by imardmd1)

SCOTUS Decision": Gay Marriage Constituional Right
This assault on the sanctity of marriage is a parallel to the abomination of desolation. The Holy Temple was where the Law was kept and preserved. The pig on the altar is this abominable sodomite marriage idol. Holy matrimony is being mocked, debased, and violated to the very core of its meaning and existence.
Holy Matrimony Batman! The "marriage" issue resolves itself when you simply use the proper term
As if to emphasize the destruction and complete defilement/profaning of the law (the natural order established by the Creator Himself) by the USSC, "Chukat" is the same word/inflection as the Hebrew for Constitution of the United States (Chukat Arzot Habrit). In addition to rejecting the immutable laws of nature, the *supreme* court of the land profaned the Constitution (chukah) on the eve of chukat.

The red heifer (Hebrew: פרה אדומה; parah adumah), also known as the red cow, was a cow brought to the priests as a sacrifice according to the Hebrew Bible, and its ashes were used for the ritual purification of a Tumat HaMet ("the impurity of death"), that is, an Israelite who had come into contact with a corpse.[1]

A cow (parah, פרה) is a type of bakar בקר (cattle).
immutable
adjective ≡unchanging, fixed, permanent, stable, constant, enduring, abiding, perpetual, inflexible, steadfast, sacrosanct, immovable, ageless, invariable, unalterable, unchangeable, changeless the immutable principles of right and wrong
Compare this concept:
Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the TAMID was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. Daniel 8:12 And an host was given him against the TAMID by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Ha-tamid is translated as "daily sacrifice" but "sacrifice" is not in the text, only the word tamid (adj) which used as a stand alone noun (with "the" as a prefix).
"The" tamid is just that - an always/perpetual/continual thing, without any pairing here with a type of ritual (daily sacrifice).
Tamid means always, perpetual, continual, as in the immutable truths and laws of the Creator that continue on, day to day. The continuation of man is predicated upon the procreative process rightfully contained within the framework (foundation) of the holy marriage covenant.
Yet the "supreme" court has decided it knows better, equating the holy with the abominable.
It is therefore a decision that cuts life out of the marriage covenant.
...ashes were used for the ritual purification of a Tumat HaMet ("the impurity of death"), that is, an Israelite who had come into contact with a corpse.
Gonna need a bigger cow!
