Your interpretation of Ezekiel is patently wrong. Israel went into captivity on several occasions, and a remnant was brought back, but never was Israel "cut off" (a Biblical term always meaning "murdered" -- as in the Holocaust) and then brought back "out of their graves" except in 1948.

see Daniel's prophesy of the Messiah Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself (the Crucifixion) : and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(Jerusalem & the Temple) and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

To say that mere men did their will regarding Israel while God stood idly by watching, is beyond the bounds of contempt for God's Sovereignty.

The Book of Revelation was written in 95 AD, after Jerusalem was burned to the ground, along with the Temple. John prophesies that the anti-christ will proclaim himself "god" in this very temple built on the Temple Mount. For this to happen, God first, obviously, had to restore Israel to it's homeland. (Over the objections of Pius XII.)

For many centuries, people "allegorized" Revelation, saying that the Israel spoken of by John was a "spiritual Israel" or somesuch, because they did not believe God had the power to restore Israel PHYSICALLY to their ancient homeland WHICH GOD PROMISED TO THEM FOREVER AND EVER.

Now watch, as the Temple gets rebuilt against all odds.

You don't know what you're talking about. Israel -- the Northern Kingdom -- utterly ceased to exist after its conquest by the Assyrians in 722 BC. The Israelites who weren't simply killed were forcibly dispersed and the few who remained were intermarried with pagans. They were the origin of the Samaritans, who were considered to be half-breed apostates by the priests in Jerusalem. According to at least some of the Rabbis, the Samaritans "have no place in the world to come".

I made no such assertion. God is in complete control. Your ideas about what God is doing are completely unfounded in any correct exegesis of Scripture.

Prove it. The book itself says it describes things which must shortly take place.

John prophesies that the anti-christ will proclaim himself "god" in this very temple built on the Temple Mount.

And where does John say that?

I'll watch, all right. It won't happen. It won't even begin to happen.
