Getting Ahead of the Prophetic Scheme - Reading Daniel Correctly

There was a period some time back about making the assertion about President Trump being the fulfillment of the Daniel prescriptions for the anti-Christ; but not all things here are kosher, are they?

First, for this observer, the 'Palestinian' solution is no longer a consummating possibility. Iran will trump the Hamas in the final analysis since they will never be able to ally well enough with the PA to overtake Israel by themselves. Next, Iran will never be able to dispossess Israel from the land either; cause irreparable damage, yes; never to 'wipe Israel off the map, though.'

Then enter Tovarich Tzar Putin, and all the promised anti-Semitic hordes to execute and be executed in the attempts to divorce Israel from her right to exist and become an afterthought of what not to do politically when deciding if President Trump's act to recognize Jerusalem's place in history was such a good thing after all.

But, all of this is expected before the acts of an anti-Christ coming to town to 'make a deal, since what is required at this point to fulfill the Daniel prophecies (and Nehemiah, Ezra, Haggai, Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.) is there needs to be a temple. All begging the question, when will Islam allow for that? Anyone? Anyone?
