At present, the Middle East is sinking further and further into chaos. The Zionist plan to destabilise the region by overthrowing strong regimes proceeds, with the aim of creating a greater Israel stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.

"But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months,
and sit in the temple at Jerusalem...."
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0103530.htm And St Cyril of Jerusalem, 'Catechetical Lecture 15', para 15:
"And again he says, Who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or that is worshipped; (against every God; Antichrist forsooth will abhor the idols,) so that he seats himself in the temple of God .....
What temple then? He means, the Temple of the Jєωs which has been destroyed. .... For if he comes to the Jєωs as Christ, and desires to be worshipped by the Jєωs, he will make great account of the Temple, that he may more completely beguile them; making it supposed that he is the man of the race of David, who shall build up the Temple which was erected by Solomon. And Antichrist will come at the time when there shall not be left one stone upon another in the Temple of the Jєωs, according to the doom pronounced by our Saviour; for when, either decay of time, or demolition ensuing on pretence of new buildings, or from any other causes, shall have overthrown all the stones ..... then shall he come with all signs and lying wonders, exalting himself against all idols; at first indeed making a pretence of benevolence, but afterwards displaying his relentless temper, and that chiefly against the Saints of God...."
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/310115.htmAnd St Hippolytus, 'Discourse on the End of the World, para 25:
"And at first, indeed, that deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will declare him king.... Then, when he is elevated to his kingdom .....
he will build the temple in Jerusalem, and will restore it again speedily, and give it over to the Jєωs. And then he will be lifted up in heart against every man; yea, he will speak blasphemy also against God, thinking in his deceit that he shall be king upon the earth hereafter for ever; not knowing, miserable wretch, that his kingdom is to be quickly brought to nought, and that he will quickly have to meet the fire which is prepared for him, along with all who trust him and serve him......"
