Muslims, who also claim Abraham as their ancestor, consider it an equally important holy site, upon which stands the Dome of the Rock, a famous mosque. Currently, Israel is in an uneasy coexistence with several Muslim countries. We'd have World War III if they actually try to tear down the Dome of the Rock.

And remember that the tribulation will be ushered in along with the rise of the Antichrist when the temple is rebuilt by Israel. And yes, there will be lots of wars.

Thanks for the insight. I thought Israel captured the Temple Mount back in the 40's or 50's. Did they just give it to the Muslims or did the Muslims take it back by force? Do you think Israel will ever attempt to take back this piece of holy land? Are they just waiting for the right time? Thanks.

I doubt all the nations of the world would want to stick their noses into such a mess, only the U.S. would maybe Britain.

The Moslems have taken many churches and temples and stuck mosques on top. I would take the mosque and blow it up, and drop a few bombs on Mecca for good measure,

Well, I've got news for you. We already may be on the brink of the Third World War. A lot depends on what happens in Pakistan. If Pakistan gos belly up into civil war, then we could see the whole Middle East go up in flames. Once that happens, all bets are off. Then, I couldn't care less if Israel takes over the Dome of the Rock.

We've got World War III going on right now!! Israel oughtta just go ahead, take the Temple Mount and say "to hell with you filthy Muslims" now that we're finally getting it on.

C'mon Israel, you've no excuses this time. Blow up that damnable dome and retake what's rightfully yours.

My favored scenario is, the Arabs launch a Scud, and it lands... The Lord God is powerful, and has a sense of humor.
