Good day tanakh,

The word "bdelugma" translated "abomination" is defined as a reeking stench that goes up before God. a detestable thing. The abomination is an object that will be placed in the holy place within the temple. The setting up of this abomination is what causes the desolation, i.e. the emptying/abandoning of Jerusalem/Judea. The desolation spoken of in Matt.24:15-21 is synonymous with Rev.12:6, 14 where the woman/Israel flees into the desert to that place prepared for her by God and remains there for that last 1260 days, also referred to in verse 14 as a time, times and a half a time, both referring to that last 3 1/2 years, with Christ returning at the end.

The context and comparison of scriptures and/or the definitions of the words will lead us to a true interpretation.

That said, Christ's crucifixion can neither be the abomination nor what causes the desolation.
I don't believe anyone said or implied that Jesus crucifixion can be or cause the desolation.

The Roman army led by Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Titus's father was emperor in Rome at that time.
The prince was the emperor, Titus and the army were the people of the prince.
This is not the Anti-Christ.
Verse 26 begins "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off"
And then continues in sequence, That after this the city is destroyed by the people of the "prince who is to come" the end of which shall be with a flood. which will continue until war desolations are determined.

So we have a sequence of events.

1. Messiah gets cut off (the cross)
2. City destroyed by a people of a prince who is to come.
3. The desolation of the city will continue until war desolations are determined.


The roman army destroyed the temple and city, they are the "people' of the "prince who is to come" not sure what titus father has to do with it.
Verse 27 begins "And he shall confirm the covenant"
Could not "HE" refer back to the Messiah?
no, for the following reasons.

1. It happens AFTER the war desolations are determined (remember, there were no verse cut offs in ancient writtings, Men added verse numbers, so it is an ongoing phrase)
2. Jesus spoke of the who would commit the abomination of desolation
3. Jesus did not commit abomination in future tense, so it could not have been him
4. Jesus did not confirm a 1 week covenant with anyone, He confirmed an eternal covenant with all mankind with his death on the cross. Which we already saw, was done in the beginning of verse 26.


The word "confirm" seems to denote something already in existence.
Agreed. He did not make one, he confirmed one. but only for 7 years. It is like the US and Russia have a treaty, and they reconfirm it for another 7 years..
The definite article "THE" again seem to denote something already in existence.
As I look at the entire passage, Dan 9:24-27, It seems to me that "HE" refers back to the Messiah.
The Messiah confirmed the covenant made by God to send a savior who would pay for all mankind's sins on the cross when he was cut off
The messiah did not confirm any covenant for 1 week. then in the middle of the week commit the abomination which causes desolation.

.

Is there any other verse that proves the OP?

proves the op? I already told you, No verse proves it, Many verses show it to be true though.

The Jews murdered Christ, do you think that might have been the abomination that left Jerusalem desolate?
Rome murdered Christ, As did Isreal. As did you and I.

An abomination of desolation is literally an unclean thing left in a temple sanctuary rendering it unclean.

Jerusaem has nothing to do with the abomination. Jesus said when you see IT standing in the HOLY PLACE.

I have no doubt about it. People concentrate on Matthew 24 and don't seem to mention chapter 23 where Christ gives his most severe condemnation of the Jewish leaders and their generation

still does not mean it is the fulfillment.

and please. lets get off the anti jewish rants.. They dirty the discussion. We are all guilty.

Would you not agree that the Temple worship system and the priesthood had become an abomination before God?
Would you not agree that Jesus crucifixion made the temple worship void and no longer accepted by God?

You don't think it was a wreaking stench in God's nostrils when the Jews beat and killed his own son? I don't know man that's almost like blasphemy in my mind to think killing Jesus was eh... no big big deal BUT to kill a pig in a temple that''s not even BUILT BY GOD is the worst abomination.... doesn't match up in my opinion.
Roman soldiers beat and executed Jesus, not the Jews.

would you agree that temple worship has never forgiven one person 1 sin, And God has not had a presence in the holy place for centuries when Christ came?

would you also not agree that temple worship went on for another 4 decades after Christ, so he did not put a stop to it.

Yet an abomination can and would. (even if the priest is not following God.. He knows an unclean things makes the inner sanctum unholy. and unusable)

Please read again what i said.
One week of years , 7 years. It was broken when the Israel rejected Him and crucified Him.
I disagree that verse 27 changes the focus from the Messiah to the Anti-Christ.

Instead of trying to make things up. why do you not study history. to find out what it meant when it was written.

An abomination which makes desolate in Jesus day, and even in Daniels day meant an ifol or unclean thing placed in a holy place to make it desolate.

Antiochus epiphanies commited an abomination which makes desolate by slitting a pigs throat in the holy place.

Jesus said it would be standing in the holy place.

Daniel said it would be in the wing of the temple. and it would also cause sacrifice and burnt offering to ceasxe

There are those on this forum who believe and teach that the Anti-Christ will make a 7 year treaty with Israel that allows them to rebuild the temple and install again the OT worship system.
They present themselves as having a superior ability to interpret Scripture if someone disagrees with them.
My question is very simple.
Show me Scripture that clearly supports that belief.
I do not belief Dan. 9:27 supports that so show me another Scripture.
If we are presenting something as fact, we should also present indisputable evidence.
We all have opinions. But please do not state an opinion or assumption as Scripture fact.
And please stop implying that those who question your belief or disagree with you as being less intelligent or study less than you do.

I did not say I did not believe in the Anti-Christ. If I implied that, forgive me.
The Man of Sin, Anti-Christ will come. He will make war on the saints for 1260 days. He will drive Israel into the wilderness where God will protect them for 1260 days. I believe he will kill the two witnesses, throw a party as their dead bodies lay in the street three and a half days. I believe he will demand to be worshiped as God.
He will come.
What I do not believe is that Dan. 9 says anything about the Anti-Christ and I do not believe he will make a peace treaty with Israel that allow Israel build the temple and institute the OT worship system again.
I jumped the gun,Im the one that is sorry. Have had a rough couple weeks. I probably should not be posting until Im feeling better. My apologies.

SO if this all took place in ADS 70, then where was the flood as mentioned in Daniel? 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined

I don't think Judas was a son of perdition.

2 Thessalonians 2, the falling away comes before the son of perdition is revealed.

It was also God's will that Jesus should be killed. Judas wasn't doing the devil any favor, quite the contrary.

Jesus told him to do it, quickly.

May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation

June 5-10, 1967 “Six Day War” Israel regains Jerusalem

How do these two events factor into biblical prophecy? Virtually NO ONE mentions these two events when talking about end-time events in biblical prophecy. Before May 14, 1948 there was no nation of Israel to talk about.

Why does Muhamad and Islam rarely come up in these conversations? Before Sept. 11, 2001 it NEVER came up in Christian conversations about end-time events. There are only four verses in the bible that use the word antichrist. Three of them explain in no uncertain terms what this is:

1 John 2:22 “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.”

1 John 4:3 “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

2 John 1:7 “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

On the Temple Mount in Jerusalem there stands an Islamic shrine known as the “Dome of the Rock”. Inside this structure there is a long inscription about Islam which contains this quote:

“The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and say not 'Three' - Cease! (it is) better for you! - God is only One God. Far be it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son.” Cited from: The Arabic Islamic Inscriptions On The Dome Of The Rock In Jerusalem, 72 AH / 692 CE

Could it be any more obvious?

Concerning the “Abomination of Desolation.” An event which will cause the sacrifices on the temple mount to cease. Has anyone noticed that Mark 13:14 refers to this as an “it” and not a “him”, i.e. a thing and not a person?

Mark 13:14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not…”

If The Dome of the Rock didn’t exist on the temple mount would there be a third temple already constructed there and in use? You know there would be a new temple! The Dome of the Rock seems to fit the requirements of an abomination of desolation. Friends if this is a correct interpretation, do you realize that this structure has stood there for 1,300 years right in front of our faces?

Revelation chapter 11: Could it be possible that when John is given a reed, instructed to measure the temple and told not to include the outside court that it’s because that is where the Dome of the Rock has been sitting for the past 1,300 years. There is evidence that the Dome of the Rock does not cover the site of the Holy of Holies which is where the temple actually stood. The outside court has been given to the Gentiles.

5 - THE WRONG ROCK

Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Could it be that most Christians are asking the wrong questions? Are we chasing heretical doctrines of eschatology?

Good day tanakh,

The word "bdelugma" translated "abomination" is defined as a reeking stench that goes up before God. a detestable thing. The abomination is an object that will be placed in the holy place within the temple. The setting up of this abomination is what causes the desolation, i.e. the emptying/abandoning of Jerusalem/Judea. The desolation spoken of in Matt.24:15-21 is synonymous with Rev.12:6, 14 where the woman/Israel flees into the desert to that place prepared for her by God and remains there for that last 1260 days, also referred to in verse 14 as a time, times and a half a time, both referring to that last 3 1/2 years, with Christ returning at the end.

The context and comparison of scriptures and/or the definitions of the words will lead us to a true interpretation.

That said, Christ's crucifixion can neither be the abomination nor what causes the desolation.
I didn't say Christs crucifiction was an abomination. What would be one is a third Temple. That would be a stench that comes up before God seeing that Christs crucifixion and resurrection ended the need for a sacrificial system. Its interesting to note that when Christ berated the Pharisees in Matthew 23 he called the Temple Your House not my Fathers house that would be desolate. Another Temple built with the blessing of Antichrist can hardly be called a house of God so a beast image inside it just makes one abomination even greater. Who are all these Christians that are supposed to flee Jerusalem having lived there with the Antchrist for three and a half years? I understood that a Jewish remnant would be saved at Christs second coming when they look upon him who was pierced and mourn for him as a father mourns for an only Son
In Zech 14 we are told that the lord arrives at the Mount of Olives which splits in two forming a valley through which they escape.
