1) some character called anti-christ can occupy it. 2) some raging nightmare version of "Jesus" will show up with a mighty sword slaying people by the millions, human blood flowing 4 ft deep in a river down the street. 3) the whole world destroyed in a raging inferno.
Evangelical Christianity is a weird thing. I feel for you that you had to experience that; and even worse, were exposed to such an idiotic dogma.
The temple as envisioned by Judaism is sensible, and pretty much straight forward. There is nothing "doomsdayish" about it, but rather, they hope and believe that this Temple will influence human consciousness.
Why Christians feel the need to justify such a wacky concept as an antichrist - an evil person who wants to harm the world - and then Jesus returning to Jerusalem.... Idk. Clearly it is political in nature, and has absolutely no eschatological significance to intelligent Christian mystics (atleast i hope not). But, for political reasons, the Jews need to be opposed, and thus, a 'myth' needs to be hammered into the heads of the ignorant Christian masses.
