Let me explain. Verse 27 now speaks of the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week, which is seven years. I am of the opinion that the present war in Israel will be resolved with a seven-year peace treaty, which the anti-Christ will be a part of. If so, this would be about the time that the two witnesses would appear, and would identify, and begin to prophecy against the anti-Christ. They would also direct where the new Temple should be built. It is not expected to be on the Temple Mount. I would also expect the red heifer sacrifice to now take place.
