Actually; it is God who won't allow the Jews, with their false religion of Judaism, to build a new Temple.
Every ungodly and Jesus rejecting person will be gone when the Lord sends His fiery wrath upon them.

I agree! The UN is the physical manifestation.
THEN; The Christian peoples will gather into all of the holy Land and build a new Temple dedicated to God, as Paul tells us it will be in 2 Thess 2:4
I
strongly disagree.
Church-ianity has missed the voice of the Lord's Spirit on this altogether.
The words "the man of sin" is to be understood in the same way, as we understand "the natural man". In the plural.
According to the
Textus Receptus Greek text, the whole chapter of
2 Thes. 2 is
to be understood in the [plural]. Unfortunately the
KJV was erroneously translated in the singular in 2:3 and 2:8.
But then to make matters worse, the modern day bibles from the
Westcott & Hort Greek text, go to the extreme
with the singular rendition.
KJV [
2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
[
3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that [the] man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[
4] 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.
[
8] And then shall
that [the] Wicked [
wicked] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
[
9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[
10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Our physical bodies are and were meant to be the temple for the Lord's indwelling.
Unfortunately for many, Satan knows that as well, and "
devours" all that he wills,
who are NOT Born Again of the Holy Spirit of God.
Therefore, as faith in God through Jesus wanes in this world, Satan shall increasingly continue to dominate the human realm.
Jesus knew this, when he rhetorically asked in Luke 18:8: "when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith in the earth?"
As time goes on, less and less people will be coming to God through faith, until the issuance of the "MoB" is manifested on a global scale, of which shall effectively separate all the goats from the sheep.
It will be at that time that the Lord shall visibly return in flaming fire, in all His Glory.
There is no singular, one man band person, that "church-ianty" loves to call THE Antichrist, to come!
It is a LIE.
