Question
what is the prophecy concerning the future of the temple mount

Answer
   I will assume that by "prophecy" you mean "prediction", and that you are interested in events which have not yet taken place.  There are prophecies about the Temple Mount that have no predictions, or that have predictions which have already been fulfilled.  Jeremiah and Ezekiel predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 598 BC, and  Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the second Temple in AD 70 (Matt 24:1-2; Mark 13:1-2; Luke 21:5-6,20).
   There are several predictions in the Bible about the Temple Mount.  Ezekiel 40-48 is the most elaborate.  However, in the New Testament these prophecies are applied to the Temple in Heaven, and especially to the New Earth (e.g. Rev 21-22) where there is no Temple (21:22).  In the New Testament, the one true sacrifice has come, doing away with all other sacrifices, and therefore doing away with the need for the Temple (e.g. Hebrews 8-9).
   I hope this is helpful,
