What is the Abomination of desolation?


Matthew 24:15 Therefore when you shall see 'the abomination of desolation,' having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place--the one reading, let him understand--


The abomination of desolation can be read as the abomination that causes desolation.

Daniel 9:25 And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”


What is the abomination to the Lord? Sin.

Jews killed Jesus that was the sin they committed.

Jesus started his ministry from 27 AD and after 3.5 years he was killed on 30 AD. That was the abomination that destroyed Jerusalem after 40 years of the Resurrection of Jesus. 40 years again is 3.5 days in prophetic words. In 70 AD, Jerusalem was destroyed and Jews fled to different parts of the world.


Who killed Jesus? The people of God.


This is in parallel with the end-time event.


First, 3.5 years (prophetic words) of the beast rule there will be great miracles. In the coming days, a beast will come. The beast refers to a global governance system. Ironically, it is controlled by Christians.


Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.


The beast here refers to the Antichrist government(a global government). Just see that the beast is ridden by a woman. Who is that woman?


Rev 17:4-6

4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS

OF THE EARTH.

6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.


The woman is adorned like a bride but full of abominations(sin). What was the sin she committed? He killed the saints and drunk their blood.

She is known as BABYLON, A HARLOT. Harlot means prostitute and it means here she has many husbands. She is married to Jesus but she has other husbands. In other words, she is an unfaithful bride of Jesus. False Christians or false prophets.


Also rev 13:1

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.


This beast refers to the Antichrist government.


Rev 13:11-13

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.


It talks about another beast who looks like a lamb. Lamb refers to false Christians or false prophets. False prophets will tell their followers to worship the beast. it is God's will. They will do great miracles.


True Christians will do even greater miracles than false ones. Their doctrine would be different from the woman or goat. After 3.5 years, the beast will start to arrest or kill the true Christians. It is called tribulation time before the end. After 3.5 years, rapture.


Though prophetic words say 3.5 years, the real-time may be different.

Abomination done by the woman is to kill the true Christians and that will bring destruction not only the physical but also spiritual. They will be thrown to everlasting fire.


I wrote it very short and I come to this conclusion after much study. I have not quoted many scriptures that helped me to come to this conclusion.
