9. ‘THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION’
Nebuchadnezzar has destroyed that magnificent
temple built by king Solomon and now the angel Gabriel gives old Daniel an amazing
‘heads-up’ on what the future holds for his people, the Jews - including three
more desecrations of the temple.
Yes, 3 more!!
Yes, 3 more!!
No
wonder these visions knocked poor Daniel around!...frail, weak, trembling…
-
Again, ‘the city and the sanctuary’ will be destroyed by “the people of the
prince that shall come” …Daniel 9:26
(by the Romans in 70 AD)

-
And finally (nearly 2000 years later??), there will be an end to sacrifice
and offerings, “with overspreading abominations, a desolator…” …Daniel 9:27
& 12:11
Our Lord Jesus warned of this
in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14
-
In the meantime?…. a vile tyrant will place the ‘abomination that maketh
desolate’ in the sanctuary…Daniel 11:31
(by Antiochus IV Epiphanes on 15th Kislev, 168 BC)

Yes, godly Jews take desecration of their temple worship seriously. Jesus even made it His business to be at the temple for the ‘Feast of Dedication’ (John 10:22) commemorating its re-dedication on 25th Kislev, 164 BC, and still celebrated today as Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.
