The antichrist will falsely seen to be the true Messiah of the Jews and Savior of humanity (like false apostles in 2 Corinthians 11:1?5).

After the destruction of the Solomonic Temple of YHWH, and after 70 years of exile, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. Some historians refer to this second structure as the Zerubbabel Temple. Like Solomon's Temple, it was built above the Gihon Spring. It did not contain the Ark of the Covenant which was likely hidden by Jeremiah the prophet (Jeremiah 3:16; 2 Maccabees 2:4?). Who was Zerubbabel and who were those helping to rebuild the Temple?

What Does Soulish Mean? - March 15, 2022

We are ?oulish?from God, but we are not just flesh. Flesh is what our body is at present. The body is the structure of our flesh.
