Q&A: Does the abomination of desolation require a rebuilt temple? Yes — based on Daniel 11-12

Mike acknowledges Christians are the temple of the Holy Spirit (individually and corporately). But he argues Daniel 11-12 describes sacrifices being performed and then stopped by the Antichrist, who then enters the temple and declares himself God. These require a literal physical temple. The body-as-temple interpretation would be spiritualizing a passage Mike thinks is deliberately literal. If Daniel 11-12 is already past, a future temple rebuild is unnecessary; if it's future, a rebuild is required. Mike holds the latter.
