Actually, according to Sha'ul (Paul), it will be the Temple of God (2 Th. 2:4)--that kinda automatically makes it a "good" thing in my book, the fact that the Adversary will invade and desecrate it (as Antiochus desecrated the Second Temple) notwithstanding.
It is the sacrifices that I was mainly focused on...God looks at any church or synagogue (and every human being for that matter) built for his glory as "his temple" and that any acts that defile such places earn his ire.
The temple will be just "another sign of the times" as will be the abomination of desolation by the anti-christ. The sacrifices the Jews will hold there will sorrowfully be just another example of their continued rejection of Jesus as messiah. That is why I said the temple is not necessarily a "good" thing, though necessarily an essential part in God's plan! So I will concede that that part is at least "GOOD"!
