Many have cited this year as significant in their "Endtimes" charts, as well as upcoming 2012.
We're not there yet. So what is going on?

Note: the Bible does not implicitly say the temple will be rebuilt. Only in Ezekiel is there a reference to a temple after Herod, and that temple, by description, is not to be expected. Furthermore, Christ himself supercedes the temple, as his prediction of it's destruction implies.

...only the Messiah can rebuild the Temple.

Mmmwha?
What is going on is that some people believe nonsense.
And I think the years that officially qualify as the "Endtimes" are c. AD 33 - now.

These endtimers would be funny if they weren't so frightening. Rebuilding the temple would invite Palestinians or others to bomb it. It wouldn't be there long. But then again, Israel won't be there long either.

"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East." -- John Sheehan, S.J.
Mohatma Gandhi
“Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French… What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct… If they [the Jews] must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs… As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. I am not defending the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regard as an unacceptable encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds.”

The Dome of the Rock is such a beautiful building that it would be hard to justify tearing it down.

I thought that the antichrist was supposed to build it for the children of Israel, this would be during the first 3.5 years of the tribulation
