Prophetically, there is nothing left that needs to happen before the start of the Tribulation, as far as I know. As for the temple, right now they’re waiting on a perfect red heifer. That’s it, that’s all. (Also, don’t confuse the rapture with the tribulation. Christ comes AFTER the trib. The rapture is not His actual return. Hope that helps :) )
A lot of really strange prophecy interpretations have cropped up in just the last few decades, I think you'd find the historicist perspective interesting, i.e. most of Revelation has already happened, and the Antichrist was identified hundreds of years ago. Check it out.

Do you have some good sources? As far as I knew, the whole world would love the Anti-Christ.
To my knowledgeable that guy hasn't shown up yet.
