One of the most respected Greek elders and spiritual leaders of the Greek people of the 20th century, St. Paisios of Mount Athos, pointed out that according to prophecies, when the Mosque of Omar is demolished on the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, and the Temple of Solomon is restored in its place, then the Jewish Moshiach (messiah) – the Antichrist will sit there, reports the site "vimaorthodoxias".

“A sign that the fulfillment of the prophecies is approaching will be the destruction of the Omar Mosque in Jerusalem. It will be destroyed to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, which is said to have been in its place. In the rebuilt temple, the Zionists will eventually proclaim the Antichrist as the Messiah. I hear that the Jews are already preparing to build the Temple of Solomon,” the resource cites St. Paisius’s words.

As reported, the Israeli police operation in the area of the Al-Aqsa mosque provoked opposition from Muslims: radicals from the Strip fired hundreds of rockets at Israel.
