What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 9:17 am
Jesus said: "So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— " Matthew 24:15
This is an important sign of the end times.
In Luke, the matter is stated like this: “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near." Luke 21:20
So we know that the "holy place" is Jerusalem. And we know that "the abomination that causes desolation" is an entity that has armies.
So what is the abomination? Let's take a look at what Daniel said...
Daniel had a vision of 4 beasts:
"Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
“The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.
“And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’
“After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns." Daniel 7:2-7
And in the interpretation of this vision, we find that the 4th beast is a kingdom.
“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom." Daniel 7:23-24
The 4th beast is the iron beast, which crushes the world beneath its feet. It has dominion over 10 kings and there has never been a kingdom like it.
There is one "kingdom" in the world today, which has crushed the world under its feet. A "kingdom," which has spread its power and influence all over. A "kingdom" unlike anything that has existed in the world before.
The 4th beast is the United States of America
It is fittingly called the "iron beast" because America's military industrial complex has spread weaponry throughout the entire globe.
America is the world's most prolific arms supplier by far and is regarded as the most powerful nation in the world.
US Military bases
Now, if we consider current events, the truth becomes clear. The "abomination that causes desolation" is now standing in the "holy place" - the city of Jerusalem
Just a few years ago, Donald Trump shocked the world when he moved the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Along with the US Embassy, came American Armed Forces in the holy city of Jerusalem.
Donald Trump has received widespread praise amongst zionist politicians for his actions, with many comparing Trump to Cyrus the Great. Why is that? Cyrus the Great ordered rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after it had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. Today, zionists believe Trump is enacting policies that will allow them to do the same thing. They are trying to build the 3rd temple.
The biggest obstacle in all of this is the presence of Islamic holy sites on the temple mount - the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque. But Trump is paving the way for to eliminate these obstacles. In 2020, Trump announced a new "peace plan" for Palestine and Israel.
Trump's plan essentially removes the Palestinians from the holy city of Jerusalem...
...thus paving the way for Israel to do whatever they want with the temple mount.
You may wonder: why is it so important to the zionists to rebuilt the temple? The answer is simple. They believe when the temple is rebuilt, their Moshiach will appear. And that is another fulfilment of Jesus' statement about the end times.
He said: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many." Matthew 24:4-5
The prophecies of Jesus are coming to pass before our eyes. The hour is near...
