Meaning of ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

This expression is found in Dn. 11:31; 12:11; Matt. 24:15; Mr. 13:14. It is therefore related to the great tribulation mentioned by the Lord in the Gospel passages.



This expression is found in Dn. 11:31; 12:11; Matt. 24:15; Mr. 13:14. It is therefore related to the great tribulation mentioned by the Lord in the Gospel passages.

Daniel's prophecy had a partial fulfillment in the desecration of the temple by Antiochus Epiphanes in 168 BC. It is evident that this fulfillment does not exhaust the prophecy, since the Lord Jesus, in the evangelical passages mentioned above, places its fulfillment in the future.

In Dn. 9:27 this abomination is shown to take place in the second half of the last of Daniel's seventy weeks (Dan. 9:24). He who makes a pact with the Jews in those days and then breaks it is the leader of the future restored Roman empire.

(See SEVENTY WEEKS) An image will be made of this person, and everyone will be forced to worship it (Rev. 13:14, 15). However, it is not said that it will be taken to the future temple, while the Lord announces that the abomination will be in the holy place.

Of the Antichrist it is announced that “what is called God or is an object of worship is exalted above everything; so much so that he sits in the sanctuary of God as God” (2 Thes. 2:4).

It is evident that the "abomination of desolation" is related to the trinity of evil described in Rev. 13, and that it will be the work of Satan, the Beast, and the false prophet. This will end in terrible desolation.

The desolator is the Assyrian (Is. 8:8, 9; 28:2, 18), the king of the north who will then dominate the territory of Assyria (Dan. 11:40).

This final and definitive fulfillment also had a partial fulfillment during the siege of Jerusalem by the troops of Vespasian and Titus; The holy place was desecrated by the Jewish zealots, and the Christians of Judea, knowing the warning of the Lord, fled to Pella (Mark 13:14-16).



In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation

Reflections on the Incarnation and Freedom of God

Philip Yancey
Think of the condescension involved: the incarnation, which sliced history into two parts had more animal than human witnesses. Think, too, of the risk. In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation.
Remember that His presence can be experienced. His promise is as true as ever.

The Blessing of the Presence of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon
He is as certainly with us now as He was with the disciples at the lake when they saw coals of fire, fish on the coals, and bread (John 21:9). Not physically, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us!
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

God’s Awesome Love

Charles Stanley
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. With great awe and in complete reverence, the shepherds looked upon the baby Jesus. It was true.
The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
