I understand your appeal and it makes sense to me, because obviously the Temple won't be completed by 2015, but you don't need an official decree because this is just a double fulfilment--a like fulfillment of Dan. 9.25. Since Israel is a nation again and has taken over Jerusalem naturally what comes next is the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple.

As long as it is completed with 2300 days left to the end of the Tribulation that's good enough. The temple is cleansed after 2300 days (Dan. 8.14) when Jesus steps down on the mount of olives (Zech. 14.4). There are 2300 days from the 4th day inspection of the lamb April 21, 2016, the day before passover, to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.

It could take as a little as 2 years to build the 3rd Temple. It is 2012 right now. For it to be completed by April 21, 2016 breaking ground on the 3rd Temple would need to begin 2014. It's hard to believe that will happen I know! I will be proven wrong soon enough. Let's assume I am wrong then plan B is in order (see below). It is somewhat disturbing, because I really feel with much evidence in Scripture that Israel is the fig tree (Matt. 24.32,33)

How many days are there from May 9, 1969 to April 21, 2016? 17,150 days not 17,640 days. The 17,640th day from May 9, 1969 is Aug. 24, 2017. Nothing significant on that date. According to your articles for the "Jewish quarter" you get one more year to rebuild the Temple than I do with my dates, but I can't get the 2300 days to fit with your date.

Construction will begin before the end of the seven sets of seven (7 x 7 x 360 = 17,640 days). The seven sevens are from June 7, 1967 when Israel entered Jerusalem to the Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015. 2015 is the 2nd year of the Tetrad that lands on passover and tabernacles. If nothing happens 2014/15 that will be really weird!

I do want you to be aware that I could be wrong. I could be wrong about the Tribulation starting Sept. 14, 2015 at Rev. 7.9 "before the throne" before the 1st trumpet (8.7) of the Tribulation if, in fact, Matt. 24.32-33 is referring to among other things the Antichrist and his image in the 3rd Temple (v.15, 2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2) with 3 1/2 years left rather than Israel a nation again as the fig tree with its branch now tender. But so far everything is on track as best as I can tell.

So I am sticking with plan A for now ("branch is tender" - Israel a nation again) rather than plan B ("branch is tender" - just an analogy to when you see Matt. 24.15 take place).

Thus, the Tribulation remains 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.

Correct me if I am wrong!
