Jeremiah 33:14-18 14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.17 For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
Accordingly, several prophecies describe specific end-time events that will occur in the Temple in Jerusalem, events that cannot take place if there is no Temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:27, 12:11, and Matthew 24:15, all describe such events, specifically, Temple sacrifices will be reinstituted in Israel in the last days. How can this happen if there is no Temple?
I have heard for years that the Temple is already been pre-fabricated, somewhere, and could be assembled with these already constructed parts in a matter of months.
The Location of the Temple Mount

Lost Temple Mount FOUND? Pt. 1
Posted on November 29, 2017 by YRM which puts forth this theory:
“Many assume today that the Temple Mount within the old city of Jerusalem is where the Jewish or Old Testament temple originally stood. However, what if this was not the case? What if the temple were located elsewhere?”
“There is a theory that is gaining popularity that places the temple not on the traditional Temple Mount, but instead within the city of David.”

If this theory pans out, it would be a game changer for the rebuilding of the temple. The mosque at the current site would be irrelevant. There would need to be proof-beyond-a-doubt that this was the case.
Regardless, the Temple in Jerusalem must be rebuilt for "these things" to take place.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Matthew 24:15-16 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 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 man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Revelation 11:1-2 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
