Quote: ""The timing of the publication [of this plan] is not coincidental," the Islamic Movement states, "and it jibes with the increased calls for expulsion [of Arabs], the implementation of the policy of religious persecution and national discrimination, and the giving of a green light to the construction of the Third Temple." "We remind, for the 1,000th time, that the entire Al-Aqsa mosque, including all of its area and alleys above the ground and under it, is exclusive and absolute Moslem property, and no one else has any rights to even one grain of earth in it." "We remind the Israeli establishment, which stands behind these plans, that the problem of Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem is not just a Palestinian problem, but a Palestinian, Arab and Islamic problem. The day the Al-Aqsa Mosque is harmed, Heaven forbid, all the Arab and Islamic nations will call to prevent this damage. Watch out! Beware of merely the thought of hurting or desecrating the mosque."

Interestingly, even the Sheikh has some insight into motives behind the efforts to build a synagogue on the mount, stating it will amount to a green light to the construction of the Third Temple. The Third Temple will of course be constructed during the beginning of the seven year tribulation period, and subsequently be defiled by the Antichrist.

2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4
Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day (day of the Lord) shall not come], except there come a falling away first (apostasy), and that man of sin (Antichrist) be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Joel 2:31 
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
