abomination
is identified
as great
tribulation,
affliction, days of
vengeance
This was towards
the end of
Christ's
ministry while CONFIRMING the Covenant to Daniel's People. (Jewry / House of Judah)
This is where "reconciliation for iniquity" was made (Dan.9:24-25)
"The people of the
prince that shall
come" (Dan.9:26)
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of the world?
Full number of the Gentiles
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of the world?
Except THOSE DAYS
(i.e. abomination of desolation days, (affliction days / days of vengeance / Jerusalem compassed with armies) should be shortened. (Matt.24:22)
World events / end-times are "signs" of the Second Coming of the THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. That is the only reason they are mention. The MAIN EVENT is CHRIST'S RETURN (As you see the day approaching)
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of the world?

"but not for Himself"
I. He shall confirm[1]the covenant…for one week
“And he shall confirm[1] the covenant with many[1] for one week: and in the midst (middle) of the
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation (gift / meat offering [1]) to cease, and for the over-
spreading of abominations he shall make desolate, even until the consummation, (end) and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Dan.9:27).
A. The Week is seven years
Daniel was told, “seventy weeks (seventy of sevens)[0] are determined upon thy people” (Dan.9:24).
This pattern of “weeks” or “sevens” is seen many times in the Old Testament / Covenant (Gen.1-2,
Exod.16:26; 20:9-10, Lev.23:1-21; 25:1-7; 25: 1-44).
1. Jacob worked seven years / one week (Note Gen.29:20 "it seemed but a few days"
Jacob told Laban "I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter" So Jacob "served
seven years (Week v.27) for Rachel and Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife (Gen.29:21). Then
Laban "gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast" and tricked Jacob by giving
Leah. That morning, Jacob discovered that Laban had deceived him (Gen.29:21-25). Jacob then
served Laban another seven years (Fulfilled her weekv.27-30) to marry Rachel. (One day for a year)
2. The twelve spies searched for 40 days / 40 years
When the children of Israel failed to enter the Land promised (Num.14: 23), (1-45), God said, "your
children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your
carcases be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye searched the
land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye
shall know my breach of promise.
3. Ezekiel laid on his side 40 days / 40 years
God told Ezekiel, "I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the
days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when
thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house
of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year (Ezekiel 4:5-6).
B. The identification of "he"thatshall “confirm” the(not "a") covenant
"And he[0] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. 1
1. This word “confirm” means:-
To be strong; by implication, to prevail, act insolently It has been translated into the KJV as exceed,
confirm, be great, be mighty, prevail, put to more [strength], strengthen, be
stronger,be valiant. (Here is the Hebrew word[0])
2. NOTE: "he shall confirm the covenant"(Dan.9:27)
a. It is not "a" covenant, (as some modern day translations say)[0]it is confirm the covenant.
b. Remember: Daniel when was prophesying (Dan.2:1-45, 7:1-28, 8:1-27, 9:24-27, 11:1-45; 12:1-9)
Peter says, "it was revealed...
(1) That not unto themselves (the Prophets / Daniel "seal up the Book to the time of the end") Dan.12:4-9
(2) But unto us (the Church) they did minister the things, which are now reported(Eph.3:5, Rev.5:1) unto
you (the New Covenant Church) by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost
(John.10-15) sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into." (1Peter.1:10-12,
Matt.13:10-17)
(3) When the sealed book (scroll) is opened (Rev.5:1) in the Book of Revelation it gives the order of events
that will take place with nothing said about "a covenant" being made with the Jews by the antichrist.
(that some teach today)
(4) The ONLY COVENANT CONFIRM "now reported" in the New Testament is the covenant that JESUS /
MESSIAH has made. (Gal.3:16-17)
4. This entire week / seven years is for confirming.
a. And "he shall confirm the covenant
b. With many[2] (of of Daniel's people. (the House of Judah / Jews) for one week:
5. And in the midst (middle) of the week"(the week 7 years of confirmation)
The sacrifice / oblation will cease. The ONLY place where animal sacrifices cease is at the Cross where
"reconciliation for iniquity"(Dan.9:24) was made at the Cross scripture. (Dan.9:24, Eph.2:1-22)
The Purpose of the70Weeks, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy happens at the Second
Coming when the "Mystery of God" is finished. (Rev.10:7; 11:15(Dan.9:24) Review: Phase 5, Page.6
6. Therefore theconfirmation DOES NOT! (to Daniel's people)
a. "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
b. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
c. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four
hundredand thirty[0] years after, cannot disannul, (nvalidate, make of none effect) that it should make the
promise of none effect." (Gal.3:16-17, Rom.3:21-31; 8:1-4, Matt.5:17-19)
Gabriel says, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy (Daniel's) people and upon
thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlastingrighteousness, and to seal up
the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy." (Dan.9:24)
NOTE:The fulfillment of this purpose must be seen in our interpretation of Dan.9:24-27
Gabriel continues. "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be
seven (7) weeks, (i.e. 49 years) and threescore [26] and two weeks: (62 / 434 years) the
street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after three-
score[26] and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself” (Dan.9:25-26).
7. The first49years (7 Weeks).
This is recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah (During the reign of Media-Persia)The purpose for the
first 49 years (7 Weeks) was to restore and building of Jerusalem so they could count the years until Messiah
would come (Dan.9:25, John.1:41, John.4:24-25). The context is the coming Messiahand the purpose (Dan.9:24)
is not fulfilled yet
8. The next 434 year wait until Messiah (62 Weeks).Dan.2:1-45;8:1-27;7:6;11:2 / Kingdom of Greece
This waiting of 434 years (62 weeks) was because there was an appointed time for the revealing of the
Messiah (Dan.9:26, John.1:41; 4:25-26, 1Peter.1:18-20). The context is still the coming Messiah and the purpose
(Dan.9:24) is not fulfilled yet
9. Then after a waiting time of 434 years (62 Weeks Dan.9:25) Messiah (The Word) was revealed
John says, "The Word"[0] was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father" (John.1:1-14 / JESUS / EMANUEL Matt.1:18-25) Paul writes that JESUS / MESSIAH / WORD
came to "confirmthe Covenant". (Gal.3:16-17) JESUS / MESSIAH / WORD said, "Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill (confirm[0](Mat.5:17-19, Gal.3:24,
Rom.3:21-31 \ Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25) This is why JESUS / MESSIAH / WORD) "came unto His own" (The House of
Judah / Jews / Daniel's people)Thiscovenant[0]was already made[0] with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David
the fathersbefore there was a Jew. (Rom.9:1-5; 11:28, 15:8)
a. Paul describes the "Oracles" / "Covenants"that the JESUS confirmed. (Matt,5:17, Gal.3:16-17)
(1) Theadoption
(2) Theglory,
(3) Thecovenants,
(4) Thegiving of the law,
(5) Theservice of God,
(6) Thepromises
(7) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came,[0]who is over all, God blessed
for ever.
b. However the House of Judah (Jew's) "mocked" and "despised" their birthright[0] / firstborn[0]
(1) The apostle Paul compares them (The House of Judah / Jews / the children of the flesh of Abraham) to
Ishmael and Esau. (Rom.9:1-33)
(a) Ishmael (the firstborn) "mocked" Isaac (Gen.15:1-15; 16:1-16; 21;9, Rom.9:1-5; 6-9, Gal.4:21-31)
(b) Esau (the firstborn) "despised" his birthright (Gen.25:27-34, Rom.9:10-36)
(2) John writes the "the city where our Lord was crucified" to be "spiritually called Sodom and
Egypt" (Rev.11:7
c. Did Israel know? Yesthey knew(Rom.10:19-21)
(1) First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I
will anger you. (Deut.32:21, Rom.10:19)
(2) But Esaias (Isaiah) is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest
unto them that asked not after me. (Hosea.2:23, Rom.9:25-27; 10:20)
(3) But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and
gainsaying people.(Rom.10:21)
NOTE: Acts.28:20-28 "And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had
spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet unto our fathers, Saying, Go
unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
perceive" (Isa.65:1, Matt.13:10-17; 15:1-9)
d. Why did Israelbecome a disobedient and gainsaying people. (Rom.10:21)
(1) God gave (to the "Fathers") the Law (the "schoolmaster" / Oracles" Acts.7:38, Rom.3:1-2; 9:1-5,Gal.3:24)
to bring bring them to Christ. However as each generation came and went they added to and diminish
(Deut.12:32, Prov.30:5) from the the (written) Law of Moses with there written traditions. (The Oral Torah,
Talmud, Mishnah, Mishrash, Gemara)Synagouges, Pharisees,Sadducees, Scribes, Septuagint, Sanhedrim
(Matt.13:22; 15:9, Rom.2:1-24)
(2) By the time the "Word (God) became flesh (JESUS) and dwelt amongst us" (John.1:1-14) these traditions
and writings had made the Word of God of "none effect" (Rom.9:1-6, Matt.15:9)Now (Paul says) in vain
they (Jews) do worship me, but teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matt.13:22; 15:9,
Rom.2:1-24)
(a) They took ownership of the Feasts days. They began as "These are my Feasts saith the Lord"
(Lev.23:1) and ended as the "feast of the Jews" (John.5:1; 6:4) Their traditions had mixed in with the
Law of Moses to make the Feast what they wanted.[0]
(b) They made the Temple a den of thieves. They refused His (God's) spiritual Temple without hands
(John.2:18-20) Jesus said before was crucified it's YOUR HOUSE NOW. (Matt.23:39) and prophesied
it's destruction. (Dan.9:26, Matt.24:1-4, 15-22)
(c) Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples
transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he
(Jesus) answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your
tradition?...Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me
with their mouth, and honoreth (honor) me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain
they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." (See Oral Torah, Talmud,
Mishnah, Misrash, Gemara)
(2) After the Cross this problem of mixture (Matt.15:1-10) still continued even in the Church from 1 AD to
70 AD? (Acts.1:1-8; 7:1-60; 10:1-48; 11:1-19, Acts.13:51; 15:1-17; 21:17-40; 23:1-10; 23:12-35; 24:1-9; 25:1-7;
28:20-28) NOTE: The Book of Galatians)
(a) NOTE: The Temple had not been destroyed yet (70 AD)(Dan.9:24-27, Matt.23:1-39; 24:1-)
(b) The earthly Temple was still functioning up to 70 AD in it's desolate (Matt.23:36), (even though the
Vail had been rent (ripped) in twain (two) They failed to see that JESUS / MESSIAH was building His
Church (Temple / House / Sanctuary) "without hands" (Mark.15:58, Eph.2:1-22)
(c) The office of High Priest and Priesthood had been corrupted (Matt., Mark., Luke., John) by the adding
Their traditions and commandments of men to God's Word (Prov.30:5)
(d) The Offerings and Sacrifices had been corrupted and God is NOW refusing animal (Matt.5:17-19,
Heb.9:8-10) sacrifices because they could NEVER take away sin. The animal sacrifices "was opposed
upon them" (Paul's kinsmen after flesh) until the reformation (i.e. until Christ (the Messiah) comes
e. They failed to realize that this confirmation was to include the Gentile (Nations) (Eph.2:1-22). This was God's
"intent / purpose from the foundation of the world. (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4-5; 2:1-22; 3:1-12)
NOTE: Looking back(Eph.3:5) we can see that Daniel (Dan.9:24-27) was prophesied that JESUS (MESSIAH /
God manifest in the flesh / Emanuel) would be revealed and rejected in accordance with God's Purpose since
the beginning of the world. (1Peter.1:18-29, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12 / Matt.13:35, 1Peter.1:10-12, Rom.16:25,
Luke.24:44-45 / Gal.1:11-12, Heb.4:1-3, Rev.13:)
C. "he" (Jesus / Messiah / God manifest in the flesh / The Word) shall be "cut off"
"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be
built again, and the wall, even in troublous (distress / anguish) times. And after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself."(Dan.9:26)
1. It is a Historical fact that JESUS was “cut off.” (crucified)
a. This makes the crucifixion part of the 70 weeks prophecy which must be included in our
interpretation of the 70 week prophecy (Dan.9:24-26)
b. Being "cut off" (crucified Isa.53:8) at the Cross is where "reconciliation for iniquity" was
made, because it is part of the PURPOSE of the 70 weeks that are determined upon
Daniel's people. (Dan.9:24, Eph.2:11-19)
c. JESUS (Messiah the Prince[0]Dan.9:25) is interpreted as the true PASSOVER LAMB,
(1Cor.5:7-8, 1Peter.1:18-20) that was crucified ("cut off") after 3 1/2 years. We know this
because there were three Passover's kept during Christ ministry because this was the Law
(Deut.16:16-17, Lev.23:1-33, Luke.2:41)
(1) The first Passover was after His anointing (John.2:13-23)[0] as the Christ at the age of
30(Luke3:23, Matt.5:17-19) This was where Jesus began (Num.4:1-3,30,35, Acts.1:1) to
do and teach about His confirming of the covenant
(2) The second Passover was in Christ's year of inaugration (John.6:4 )
(3) The third Passover was when He fulfilled it (Matt.5:17-19, Luke.22:1-3)
(4) Another confirmation is the context of this prophecy is that in the "midst (middle 3 1/2 years) of the
week (7 years) JESUS confirms the Covenant
d. We know now (because we are looking back in History) that Jesus is the Messiah (John.1:45; 4:24) that came
unto His own (John.1:11), Daniel’s people(Dan.9:24, 2Chron.36:1-21, Dan.1:1-10, Ezra.1:3-5), and after 3 1/2
years. He (JESUS / MESSIAH) was “cut (crucified) (Isa.53:8). The context is still the coming Messiah
e. Jesus (He, Messiah the prince) confirms the covenant at His Crucifixion / "cut off"
The context (Dan.9:24-26) is the coming Messiah (Gal.3:15-16) However only 3 1/2 years of the Covenant
has been fulfilled (confirmed) because they (the Jews as a Nation) cut Christ off (Isa.53:8) in the middle ("midst"
Dan.9:27) of the week. (i.e. in the "midst" of the 7 years of confirmation)
(1) Then the Jews (as a Nation)[0] were cut (broken off Lev.26:1-33,Rom.11:20) like Ishmael
and Esau (Rom.9:1-33, Gal.4:21-31)
(2) NOTE:v.9-11)leaving 3 1/2 yrs to finish the confirmation.
(3) This is found in Rom.9-11. Grafted in again if they abide not in unbelief.
(4) Grafted into what? It is what they were cut from. What were they cut off from. It is "the commonwealth of
Israel...the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world" (Rom.11:17-25,
Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)
(a) The Jews (as a Nation) were given the "oracles" (The Law Acts.7:38, Rom.3:1-2; 9:1-5) that covered
their sin year after year (Heb.9:1-10; 10:1-4) UNTIL Christ (Gal.3:24) came and confirmed the covenant,
fulfilling "the righteousness of the law." (Rom.8:1-8, Matt.5:17-19)
(b) They (as a Nation) rejected Christ (John.1:1-14) who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets.
(c) AFTER the Cross
II. After ("he") the Messiah is "cut off" (The City and Sanctuary destroyed) (Dan.9:26)
"And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people[0] 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." (Dan.9:26)History confirms this order. The Word (John.1:1; 1John.5:7-8)
was made flesh (John.1:14; 41, 1Tim.3:15-16) and became the Messiah / the only begotten of the Father (God
John.1:18). He ministered for (3 1/2 years), and was crucified. ("cut off")
After which a flood, (ungodly men / armies 2Sam.22:4-6) "the people of the prince[0]that shall come" (Dan.9:26)
came and the end of the war (desolations / destruction)[34] was determined upon the city and the sanctuary
(Dan.9:26-27)[4] NOTE: It does not say the prince that come. It THE PEOPLE of the prince.
A. Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the Temple
As Jesus departed from the Jews (1st. Cent. / earthly) Temple (Matt.23:1-39, Mark.13: 1-8, Luke.21:5-7) He said to
His disciples, "see...all these things?" (the Temple before their very eyes Matt.23:37-39; 24:1-2, Mark.13:1-5,
Luke.21:5-7) "There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (Dan.9:26,
Matt.24:2, Luke.19:41-45). The disciples then came unto him privately with these questions. "When shall these
things be" (not one stone left upon another), what shall be the sings of your coming, and the end of the
world (Matt.23:38-39; 24:3)?
1. "When shall these things be?" (Matt.23:36-39; 24:1-3)
The "these things" are described by Jesus (Matt.23:36-39; 24:1-3) as the abomination of desolation,[0]
spoken of by Daniel the prophet. (Dan.9:26-27, Matt.24:15, Mark.13:14, Luke,21:20)
a. Matt.24:15-22 are the only verses that pertain (connected with, relevant) to the disciples question
"when shall these things be" (i.e. earthly / natural) Temple being destroyed. This was Historically fulfilled
70 AD.[24][28]
b. The remaining verses (Matt.24:5-14, 25-41) speak to the Second
Coming and the end of the world.
c. Therefore the answer the Jesus gave has two divisions (Matt.24:1-51)
2. Jesus continued, "Then let them which be in Judea flee” (Matt.24:16)
When you see the abomination of desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel “THEN let them which be in Judea
flee into the mountains! Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and
to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day" (Matt.24:16-20)
a. Jesus said the disciples would see this abomination of desolation take place
in the 1st. Century AD (Matt.24:15)
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel -"But when ye (you / disciples) see..." (Mark.13:14)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel -"And when ye (you / disiciples) see... (Luke.21:20)
b. THEN(70 AD)"let them which be in Judea flee..."(Matt.24:16)
NOTE: Jesus is focusing in on Judea because the abomination of desolation[0] is to do with them, not the
rest of the world / Gentiles. Judea was the "land of the Jews, the Greco-Roman equivalent of Judah. As
most of the Israelites returning from the captivity belonged to the tribe of Judah, they came to be called
Jews and their land Judea."[0]
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel - "then let them that be in Judea flee..." (Mark.13:14)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel - "then let them which be in Judea flee..." (Luke.21:21)
c. THEN (70 AD)"let him on the house top..." (Matt.24:17-18)
Which is on the housetop (in the (earthly) city of Jerusalem70 AD) not come down..."
because it is about to left desolate / destroyed. (Matt.24:16) Jesus is still focusing in on
Judea (the Land of the Jews), because the abomination of Desolation (the destruction
of the Temple / Sanctuary) is to do with them, not the rest of the world.
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel -"Let him that is on the housetop..." (Mark.13:15)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel -"let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and
let not them that are in the countries enter there into..." (Luke.21:21)
d. THEN(70 AD)let him in the 1st. Century AD
Which is in the field (near the (earthly) city of Jerusalem) return back to take his clothes. because it
is about to left desolate / destroyed.
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel -"let him that is in the field..." (Mark.13:16) Don't go back into
the City because it is going to be destroyed. (Dan.9:26, Mark.13:14)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel -"let them which are in the midst of it (i.e. the earthly city of
Jerusalem) depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there into..." (Luke.21:21)
e. Woe to THEM that give suck in those days! (The destruction of the city and the sanctuary
in the 1st. Century AD) (Matt.24:19)
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel -"give suck in those days!..." (Mark.13:17)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel -"give suck in those days! ..." (Luke.21:23)
f. But pray ye (you in the 1st. Century AD) that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day. (Matt.24:20) This is another confirmation that Jesus is talking to Daniel's people /
House of Judah / the Jewish Nation and their Temple. (Dan.9:26-27) The Sabbath has no
significance to the Gentile, Heathen, Nations. (Col.1:21, Rom.8:7)
(1) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel -"And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day." (Mark.13:18)
(2) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel who interprets "your flight" of Matt.24:15-22 as "great distress
in the land, and wrath upon this people..."[0] (Dan.9:26, Luke.21:23) NOTE: Luke's Gospel
paralel's Matthew and Marks account, establishing what Jesus said. (Gen.41:32, Deut.17:6; 19:15,
Eccl.4:12, Matt.16:16, 2Cor.13:1)
3. For then (70 AD) shall be great tribulation[27]
"For THEN shall be great tribulation,[27] such as was not since the beginning (See point "3.b") of
the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except THOSE DAYS should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (See point "3.c")
THEN if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible,[0] they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say
unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it
not." (Matt.24:21-26)
a. NOTE: The context of the word "then"[0] (Matt.24:15-24)
(1) It is "when" (you disciples in the 1st Cent.) see the abomination of desolation spoken
by the prophet Daniel (Dan.9:26-27, Matt.24:15-28, Mark.13:14-20, Luke.21:20-24)
(2) Jesus calls the "abomination" of desolation "great tribulation" (Matt.24:.21), [0] "affliction"
(Mark.13:19), "days of vengeance" (Luke.21:22)
(a) He did not say "the great tribulation" This is our terminology.[0]
(b) NOTE: v.15 "when", v.16 "then", v.19 "those days". Jesus is talking about the Temple being
left desolated (destroyed 70 AD). "Not one stone left upon other" (Matt.23:1-39; 24:1-3, 15-24)
b. This "abomination of desolation" ("great tribulation") "was not since the beginning of the world to
this time, (2021 AD) no, nor ever shall be" (Matt.24:21)
(1) What has been "since the beginning of the world to this time?" (70 AD - 2021 AD)
(a) In the beginning was God the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost (Gen.1:1,
John.1:1-14, 1John.5:7)
(b) In the beginning "hid in God," was ONE Redemptive plan for Jew and Gentile. NOTE: This
was BEFORE there was Jew or Gentile. (Gen.1:1, John.1:1-14, 1John.5:7, Eph.2:1-22;
3:1-12, 1Peter.1:18-20)
(c) This Redemptive Plan was foreordained from the beginning of the world hath been hid in
God, (Gen.3:1-24, Eph.3:9)
(d) When sin entered the world (Rom.5:10-12) GOD INITIATED His Redemptive plan
(Gen.3:15, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) which had been "hid" in Himself (The Godhead - The Father,
the Word and the Holy Ghost 1John.5:7, John.1:1-14)
(e) This plan ("eternal purpose"/ blueprint) unfolds from Genesis to Malachi, the last
prophet which brings us to GOD the WORD being made flesh and dwelling among us.
(John.1:1-14, Matt.1:1-25, Phil.2:John.3:16, 1Peter.1:20)
(f) When the Word became flesh, He "came unto His own"[0] (Daniel's people / Paul's
kinsmen after the flesh Rom.9:3-4 / The House of Judah / Jews) Dan.9:24, Rom.9:3 /
Matt.1:1-17) to confirm (i.e. to make strong the covenants that God ALREADY made to
Adam (Gen.3:15, Rom.16:20, Rev.12:1-17), Noah (Gen.9:1-17, Matt.24:36-37, 2Peter.3:1-9),
Abraham (Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-15; 17:1-15, Gal.3:1-29) Issac (Gen.28:1-5, Gal.4:21-31, Rom.9:1-33,
Heb.11:17-19) Jacob (Gen.28:1-5) Moses (Exod.19-20, Lev.1-27, Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22,
Heb.9:1-10) and David (1Chron.17:1-15, Acts.2:30) That in Him all these covenants would
prevail, exceed, (2Cor.3:1-18) to be great, be mighty, prevail, and stronger, valiant.[0] in
Christ. (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22, Gal.3:24, Matt.5:17-19) In His death, Burial and Resurrection.
(NOTE: Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)
(g) NOTE chart below. Stephen's summary of these covenants (Acts.6:8-15; 7:1-49) when he
was brought before the high priest of the "children of the flesh"[0] of Abraham (Rom.9:1-8)
that had "refused" (Heb.12:25) JESUS (Matt.1:21) / MESSIAH (John.1:41) / God (John.1:1)
manifest in the flesh. (John.1:14, Matt.1:18-25, Phil.2:5-9)
At the conclusion of his inspired message
Stephen said that they (Acts.6:9-12, John.1:11) were ..."a stiffnecked people"...
and uncircumcised[0] in heart and ears, ye (you)
do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your
fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets
have not your fathers persecuted? and they
have slain them which shewed before of the
coming of the Just One; of whom ye (you)
have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Who have received the law by the disposition
of angels, and have not kept it."
(Acts.7:60, NOTE:v.51)
(h) This "stiffneckness" (i.e. Abomination, affliction, days of vengeance) caused the "children
of the flesh" of Abraham (Rom.9:1-8) to be "broken off"[0] (Rom.11:19-25) because they
broke their covenant with God. (Lev.26:1-33 / Note:v.15) The Law / Old Covenant (Rom.9:1-5)
which was to bring them to CHRIST / MESSIAH. "Moses...said unto the fathers, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raised up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear
in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you." (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22, Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24)
The CROSS is the "centerpiece" of
God's Redemptive plan that has been
"hid in God" since the foundation /
beginning of the World. There is
(i) To confirm the statement, "nor ever shall be" Matt.24:21)
This abomination (great tribulation / desolation / This rejection of CHRIST / MESSIAH / God
the Word made flesh) will overspread until the consummation" (the end / NOTE: Rom.11:25)
leaving no place for it to happened again!
(j) This desolation is the "severity"of God upon (Israel's) city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary
because of their "unbelief" and rejection of JESUS / MESSIAH / The only begotten Son of God.
(Lev.26:1-34, Dan.9:26-27, Rom.10:18-21; 11:20-25)
(k) Then (70 AD) flee into the mountains (Matt.24:16)
4. Except THOSE DAYS should be shortened
"THOSE DAYS" are abomination of desolation days, (affliction days / days of vengeance / Jerusalem
compassed with armies (Matt.24:22, Mark.13:20, (Luke.21:22) NOTE: Some think this wording places
the abomination of desolation in the Great Tribulation[27] However, this cannot be the (so-called)
great Tribulation because the "Tribulation" is a set time of 42 months (Dan.7:25, Rev.13:5, 2Thes.2:6).
God is not going to shorten the 42 month that the man of sin has to continue.
a. Confirmed by Mark's Gospel (Mark.13:20) "Except that the Lord shortened those days..."
b. Confirmed by Luke's Gospel (Luke.21:22) "days of vengeance..." [0]
5. Woe to them that give suck in those days (70 AD) (Matt.24:16-20, Lev.26:1-34)
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea
flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of
his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them
that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
(a) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel - "In THOSE DAYS shall be affliction..." (Mark.13:17)
(b) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel - "THESE BE DAYS of vengeance..."(affliction / days of vengeance /
Jerusalem compassed with armies) in 70 AD (Dan.9:26, Matt.24:15, Mark.13:14, Luke.21:20
Luke.21:22)
6. Stand (Standing) in the holy place[0]
When ye (you) therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (destruction such as was
not since the beginning the world to this time), standing where it ought not (Mark.13:14) in the
holy place, then...flee...to the mountains." (Matt.24:15-21)
a. The "abomination" is Daniel's people (as a Nation) rejecting Christ (God) the Word made flesh
John.1:1-14, 1John.4:1-4)
(1) They (Daniel's people) did this by establishing (making a stand[0] i.e. to be
stiffnecked (Acts.6:8-15; 7:1-53) for their own righteousness (Rom.10:1-3,
NOTE: Isa.64:6, Heb.10:27-31, Lev.26:1-33), missing their day of visitation,
breaking their covenant[0] with God (Lev.26:1-33, Luke.19:41-44, Rom.9,10,11)
Review: Piont 3.b. on this page
(2) This "own righteousness" was established on their own "vain" "command-
ments of men" (such as the Torah, Talmud, Mishnah, Mishrash and Gemara)
b. Destruction such as was not since the beginning the world (Review: This page
Point 3.b.) to this time , (70 AD)
c. No, nor ever shall be.
(1) Because JESUS / MESSIAH had come to Daniel's people "once for all" (Jew and Gentile)
(2) Daniel said this 70 AD abomination will "overspread" (Dan.9:27) until the consummation
(or the end) leaving no place for it to happen again.
d. "Standing where it Ought not"
(1) Remember: The "abomination" is rejecting THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who confirmed and
fulfilled the Old Testament / Covenant. Caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease
(Dan.9:27, Heb.9:1-28;: 10:1-25)
(2) NO animal sacrifices belonged in the Holy Place. All the sacrifices were to be
(1) How did the disciples see the abomination standing where it ought not?
(a) It cannot be the idol of the antichrist (as some say) because he has not been revealed yet
(b) However the spirit of antichrist was presence (1John.2:18-20)
(c) They could see with their spiritual eyes (understand of God's Word) Eph.1:18 Because
they born again and filled with Holy Spirit ( )
Redemptive week / floor plab of the Tabernacle
(2) No strange (spiritual) fire - No fire that does not have it's beginning at the Brazen Altar
(3) No (spiritual 1Peter.2:5) Burn't offering - (Rom.12:1-2)No consecration / sanctification on the
Golden Altar of incense in the
Holy Place that does not have it's beginning at the Brazen Altar
(4) No (spiritual 1Peter.2:5) Meal Offering - no good works, giving of material things, giving of money (Isa.66:1-4,
Acts.7:47-48)
(5) No drink Offering -
d. Why this warning when the City and Sanctuary is scheduled for destruction / desolation. This
includes the Holy Place (in the Temple / Tabernacle) See "The Temple of God"
e. NOTE: After the Vail was rent in two / Paul's kinsmen after the flesh, continued to worship
in the Temple that they owned, for 40+ years (70 AD) Opposing the Church Ages / Holy Place
(See PHASE 3 / 5th and 6th day)
(2) They were establishing their own righteousness in the face of a "rent" Vail. Using the doctrines
of men / Jewish "sophstry" (Rom.10:, Col.2:1)
(3) This was infiltrating into the 1st Cent. Church (Acts / Galatians)
(4) The Holy place (is the Church age) 5th and 6th day (See PHASE 3 and 4)
(5) The Vail becomes
c. Before this happens, the disciples / apostles would see this FUTURE abomination[0] of
desolation, spoken by
Daniel the prophet in their generation Matt.23:36 / 70 AD)
(1) This was future to the disciples / apostles (70 AD)
(2) But HISTORY TO US[0] TODAY (2021 AD)
d. The disciples / apostles saw JESUS / MESSIAH "cut off" (crucified) before the "abomination"
e. They saw the Vail (veil) of the Temple rent (divided) in two when JESUS / MESSIAH was "cut
off"[0](Matt.27:51-52) Revealing to the polluted and corrupted 1st.Century A.D. Levitical
Priesthood (Matt.15:6-9), and to all Israel that God's presence had gone.
(1) A REVIEW of the Tabernacle and the Temple it was a fearful thing to enter in beyond
the Vail and before God's Presence. (Lev.10:1-2; 16:1-2)
(2) Israel had become dull of hearing and blind / seeing.
NOTE: Previous to this JESUS / MESSIAH had pronounced judgment and
desolation of the Temple (Sanctuary) (Matt.23:1-39)
(a) My Father's House, (John.2:16)
(b) My (Jesus) House (Matt.21:15)
(c) Now (the Temple) it is your House. (They took the House over by making it a den of
thevies) (Matt.23:36)
(d) The Feast of the Jews. (They took the Feast over by adding their traditions and
commandments of men) (Deut.12:31, Prov.30:5, Matt.15:1-9, John.2:13; 5:1; 6:4; 11:55)
b. NOTE: The words "not since the beginning of the world (Review: Point A.3.b)
(1) There has been several "abominations in the Old Testament but NOT like this one. ( )
(2) This "abomination"
(a) Is spoken by Daniel the prophet is to do with his people (The House of Judah / Jews /
Israelites)
(b) JESUS / MESSIAH expands Daniel's 70 week prophecy by saying "there shall not be left
here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
(c) There was nothing like this "abomination" after Solomon built the first House / Temple,
even unto the time of 70 AD destruction of the "city and the Sanctuary" (Temple)
anothers the rejection of God the Word becoming flesh (JESUS / MESSIAH) and dwelling
among them. (Isa.7:14, Matt.1:23, John.1:1:1-18; 5:17-18, Phil.2:1-; )
(3) The Vail had been rent. Leaders knew God's Presence had lifted up from the Temple made
with hands. (Rom.10:)
(a) .
(b) .
(4) This will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN (Matt.24:21, Heb.1o:1-12; 10:26-31, NOTE: Heb.10:26; 11:17-19 /
Gen.24:6) "nor shall there ever be" / ONCE FOR ALL. (Heb.10:1-10)
(5) NOTE: The words "to this time" (Matt.24:21) this is the generation of the disciples / apostles.
(6) Matt.24:21 does NOT apply to the time of the man of sin (antichrist) who comes against all
that is called God. (2Thes.2:4)
(a) Because God's name is not recorded in a building made with hands (John.2:18-20, )
(b) Because God's name is NOT recorded on animal sacrifices ()
(c) Because Lucifer (dragon), the antichrist (Beast) and the false prophet wants to be "like"
God who (Isa.14:11-14, 2Thes.2:4)
c. Jews rejected His Redemption / rejected God's Word / and established their own righteousness
d. God warning to Israel (Lev.26:1-33)
(1) They did not "hearken unto me, (God, the Father)
(2) They did not do all His commandments;
(3) They despised God's statutes.
(4) Their soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments
(5) They broke God's covenant with them.
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning
ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in
vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
c. Flee, because this "abomination" is going to bring God's Judgment (Lev.26:1-33)
(3) In fact, Ezekiel prophesied that he saw God's presence (Cloud)[0] lift up from the (earthly)
Temple "made with hands" as the House of Judah was heading for the 70 yr. Babylonian
captivity.
(See chart below) (Eze.1:1-3; 10:18, Jer.29:10-11, 2Chron.36:21 / Several Centuries before)
(a) The Cloud is an "ensample"(type[0]) of God's leading us by the Holy Spirit
(1Cor.10:1-3, Exod.13:21-22; 14:19-24; 16:10; 24:16; 40:38, Lev.16:2-13, Num.9:15-23; 10:1-13,
John.16:10-15)
(b) Then Ezekiel saw the Cloud resting on the JESUS / MESSIAH who was to be the Head of the Church,
Temple of God the
Body of Christ. (Matt.16:18, Eph.5:25, 17:1-5, Col.1:17-19)
(3) Israel saw it (the Vail being rent)[0] (Rom.9:1-8) yet it spite of that they refused this confirmation and broke their
covenant with God (Lev.26:1-33) by establishing their own righteousness. (Rom.10:3, Isa.64:6,
Rom.11:1-36)
(a) By continuing to withThis was an "abomination"
(b) For the next 70 years (?) they and continued to worship at the Temple made with hands
until God allowed
STILL looking for the Messiah until this very day.
(a) While JESUS / MESSIAH was building His Church / Temple / House / Sanctuary
(John/2:18-20) Review: PHASE 2
(b) They establishe
This was the Historical[0] fulfillment (reality Col.2:16-17) of the Feast of Passover
(1Cor.5:7-8) that the "children of the flesh" of Abraham (Rom.9:1-8) had been
observing "year by year" for 1500 years. (Gal.3:24, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-4) while waiting of
"the time of reformation" (Heb.9:10 or the time the Messiah /Christ / Shiloh.[0]
(Review: PHASE 2)
(d) Experiential[0] experienced after resurrection (John.20) then told to wait again for the
promise pf the Father
(b) and Pentecost (Acts.2:1)
(b) Stopped animal sacrifices (once for all)
(1) What is the connection of the "abomination" and the "Historical fulfillment of the feast of
Passover"
"There were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout[0] men, out of every nation
under heaven to observe the Feast of Passover and the Feast of Pentecost (Harvest / Weeks).
(a) This was the pattern (blueprint) "to appear before the Lord" on these set times every year,
year by year"...until the reformation..." (or until Christ came) (Lev.23:1-44, Deut.12:1-12;
16:16-17)
(b) JESUS / MESSIAH came to fulfilled this pattern in Himself, who the head of
the Body, the Church, which is His Body. (Matt.5:17-19, 1Cor.10:1-11,
Rom.15:4, Col.)
-- JESUS / MESSIAH (Passover) was crucified on the set time (according to
the pattern (blueprint) by God the Father. (Matt.)
-- JESUS / MESSIAH sent the comforter (Holy Spirit) on the set time
-- JESUS / MESSIAH will present to Himself a Glorious Church without spot
or wrinkle at the set timr (according to the pattern)
(2) The Veil was rent in the (earthly / natural) Temple (Matt.27:51-52) confirming
that God's Presence was not there anymore. God had moved out! (Matt.23:36,
John.2:13-21, Mark.14:58. Acts.7:47-48, NOTE:51-60, Eph.2:22, 1Peter.2:5,
John.16:10-15)
(3) From the crucifixion to 70 AD
(a) The (earthly) Temple was STILL THERE BUT...
(b) Without the Ark of the Covenant.[0] ("ichad-bod" 1Sam.4:19-22)
-- No Presence of God. Just a "form[0] of godilness, denying the power[0] thereof"
-- They had replaced the Word of God with the Commandments of men (Matt.15:)
(c) When the day of Pentecost had "fully come" (50 days after Passover), God presence
indwelt the the Church (the body of Christ / The Temple of God)
(NOTE: The evidence of this,There were devout men gathering in Jerusalem out of
obedience to the Law of Moses Deut.12:1-12, Acts.1:4; 2:1-13) Even in the Church -Gal.1-6,
The circumcision,Pharisses that believed in Acts.15
(d) Despite this (Paul's kinsmen after the flesh / Israelites / House of Judah / Jews Rom.9:1-8)
continued to keep the shadow and rejected the reality (the confirmation) and missed
"their day of visitation" (Luke.19) and are still looking for the MESSIAH
We still have the earthly Temple still functioning in a form of godilness
(e) We have the early church being built (as JESUS / MESSIAH) promised
(Matt.16:18, John.2:18-20, Eph.2:1-22; 5:21-33)
This was the Historical[0] fulfillment (reality Col.2:16-17) of the Feast of Passover
(1Cor.5:7-8) that the "children of the flesh" of Abraham (Rom.9:1-8) had been
observing "year by year" for 1500 years. (Gal.3:24, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-4) while waiting of

c. The desolation -
d. Stand (standing) same Greek word Strong's NT#2476. To stand up to, establish, set.
"Stiffneckness" caused the "children of the flesh" of Abraham (Rom.9:1-8) to be "broken off"[0]
(Rom.11:19-25) because they broke their covenant with God. (Lev.26:1-33 / Note:v.15) The Law /
Old Covenant (Rom.9:1-5) which was to bring them to CHRIST / MESSIAH. (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22,
Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24)
e. What is the Holy Place?
(1) The Holy Place was first mentioned in the Book of Exodus when God gave Moses the
pattern of the Tabernacle and was included in the pattern for Solomon's Temple.
(2) Therefore the "earthly" Holy Place was to be left desolate because it is part of the Temple. the
earthly Temple was interpreted by Paul as Ishmael and Hagar. (Matt.23:36; 27:51-52, Gal.4:21-31)
(3) The Vail that divided the Most Holy from the Holy Place was about to be rent in two
establishing that God's presence had gone. (Exod.26:31-35, Lev.10:1-2; 16:1-2)
NOTE: Why then would JESUS give us a warning about a earthly / natural earthly Holy Place,
because God name was not recorded on it anymore. (Desolate)
f. The "earthly" Holy Place did signify?
(1) Candlestick. It "signified" (Heb.9:1-10) the first century Church Rev.1:that was being built by
JESUS filled with the anointing while the "earthly" Temple was still in exsisitance with it's Vail
rent in two. (From the 4 BC to 70 AD) To

(3) The Golden Altar of Incense. It signified the true Worship and prayer
(John.4:
g. Who could go in there?
(1) The Priesthood Sons of Aaron / Aaron the high priest) Now we are the
priesthood and JESUS is OUR HIGH PRIEST. However Israel cont. with the
old order
(2) NOTE: There was a Most Holy Place also and ONLY Aaron go enter in there
h. What was not allowed in the Holy Place "standing where it ought not..."
(Mark.13:14)
(1) No animal sacrifices / JESUS cause the animal sacrifices to cease - fulfilled
(2) No meat offering /
(3) No Burnt Offering or Meal Offering
.
i. Confirmed by Mark's Gospel "standing where it ought not..." (Mark.13:14)
j. Confirmed by Lukes Gospel "For these be the days of vengeance..."
(Luke.21:22, Lev.26:1-33, Rom.12:19, Deut.32:35)
c. The Greek word for standing - to "to stand, to make to stand," is rendered
"abode" in John 8:44, AV; "continue," (Vine's) The KJV translates Strong's
G2476 in the following manner: stand (116x), set (11x), establish (5x), stand
still (4x), stand by (3x), miscellaneous (17x), variations of 'stand' (2x).
(Blue Letter Bible)
Paul's kinsmen after the flesh (Rom.9:1-5) took a stand and "polluted" the
Word and established their own righteousness (Rom.10:1-3, Matt.23:1-39,
Isa.64:6) by adding to the God's inspired Word. (Deut.4:12; 12:32, Prov.30:5,
Matt.15:1-9, Isa.29:11-13) This is evident in the Torah, Talmud, Midrash,
Mishnah and Gemara WHICH
WAS AN ABOMINATION.[33]
(disgusting, i.e. filthy; especially idolatrous or (concretely) an idol:— abomin-
able filth (idol-ation), detestable (thing) because "their righteousness I.e.self
reighteousness is as fithly rags (Isa.64:6; 66:1-4, NOTE: Rom.11:1-36) God had provided the Blood
of His only begotten Son. The counted "the blood of the covenant an unholy thing" (Heb.9:1-28;
10:1-31)
(i) Jesus said to the Jews, ("the children of the flesh" of Abraham Rom.1-8) "your house
(Temple Sanctuary) is left unto you desolate." (Not one stone left upon another
Matt.23:1-39, Dan.9:26. Matt.23:1-39; 24:1-3, vs.15-22) When Jesus was crucified "the veil
of the Temple (Sanctuary) was rent (divided) in twain (two) confirming the God's Presence
was gone from the Most Holy Place and NOW "the most High dwelleth NOT in temples
made with hands." (Acts.7:47-48)
c. Nor ever shall be because this abomination[33] was made desolate[34] and has "overspread"
(Rom.11:9-1-33; 10:1-3, v.18-21; 11:12-25, 2Cor.3:14-18) until (OUR PRESENT DAY) and will continue
until the consummation (end) leaving no place for this to happen again.[29]
(Dan.9:26-27, Matt.24:15)
(1) Confirmed by Daniel who prophesied that this desolation of the abomination (i.e. disgusting,
filthy, (Isa.64:6, Rom.10:1-3) idolatrous, detestable (thing)[33] will "overspread" until the
consummation / end until "the times (until the full number[0]) of the Gentiles be gathered
in) (Dan.9:27, Rom.11:25) See point on this page
(2) Confirmed by the apostle Paul (Who was taught by Jesus Gal.1:11-12)
(a) Paul's kinsman after the flesh were"broken off" (Blinded) until the "times (fullness, full
number of the Gentiles) be come (gathtered) in. (Rom.11:25)
(2) Confirmed by Mark's Gospel "For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
(3) Confirmed by Luke's Gospel "until "the times (until the full number) of the Gentiles be
gathered in) (Rom.11:9-1-33; 10:1-3, v.18-21; 11:12-25, 2Cor.3:14-18)
(4) Confirmed by John in the Book of Revelation.
(a) There is NOTHING about the city and the Sanctuary being desolated / destroyed
(b) No earthly City - Sodom / Egypt - We have come to But ye (you) are come unto mount
Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made
perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling,
that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
(c) Gentiles gradfted in (Eph.2:11-22, Rom.11)
(d) No animal sacrifices
e. THEN (The context is still "When you see the 70 AD abomination of desolation, (spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, stand in the holy place) if any man[0] shall say...Lo, here is Christ. (Matt.24:4-5, v.23)
(1) Some would say, this is certainly the end times. However the context of Matt.24:15-28 is the
the disciples generation. (1st Century AD)
(a) Christ is the anointing (Strong’s NT#5547 - anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus)
(b) John said, "it is the last time: (1st. Century) and as ye have heard that antichrist (anti-
Messiah / anti anointed one) shall come, even now (1John.4:1-4) are there many
antichrists; (or anti / false anointings whereby we know that it is the last time. (days)
(c) Let no man (the man of sin / antichrist / false anointing
(d) The spirit of antichrist is ALREADY in the world, which includes the 1st Cent. (1John.2:
(2) Mockers in the Church were saying where is the promise of His coming?
(3)
f. Immediately after the tribulation[27] of "THOSE DAYS" (70 AD) "shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes (of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great glory. (Matt.24:29-30)
(1) The tribulation of "THOSE DAYS" is still referring to the 70 AD Destruction of the city
and the Sanctuary spoken by the prophet Daniel. (Dan.9:26, Matt.24:15-29)
(2) Immediately after the tribulation of "THOSE DAYS" (Matt.24:29)
(a) Mark says, "those days, after that tribulation..." (Mark.13:24)
(b) Peter used "last days" instead of "afterwards" that Joel used.(Acts.2:17, Joel.2:28-32)
(c) Last days / last time Peter / John / The last 2 days (2,000 years) Review: PHASE 3
c. Luke's Gospel (Luke.21:24, He is still writing about the 70 AD destruction)
Luke explains, except "those days" be shortened (i.e. the days that the Temple is destroyed
70 AD) to "they shall fall by the edge of the sword, [28] and shall be led away captive into all
nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles
be fulfilled." (Note: Lev.26:1-33, Note;v.14-15; 31-33)
(1) Matthew and Mark says, "abomination of Desolation" (Matt.24:22, Mark 13:20)
(2) Luke describes the same (70 AD) event as...
(a) "When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation
thereof is nigh. This what Daniel prophesied "the people of the prince that shall come
shall destroy the city and the Sanctuary" (Dan.9:26)
(b) Except those days shortened
. The "days" are the 70 AD "abomination of Desolation" days
. Shortened - This cannot be the tribulation because God has given the antichrist power
to continue for 42 months (3 1/2) There is no evidence for making the Tribulation shorter
(c) These be days of vengeance because of their (the Jews) abomination of desolation (i.e. the
rejection of Christ as Messiah Lev.26:14-46, Rom.9:1-33; 10:1-21; 11:1-25, Heb.10:26-31)
(d) It is Daniel's people / The House of Judah / Jews Dan.9:24) shall fall by the edge of the sword
(Luke.21:24)[28] This is not speaking of the future "tribulation" [27] because everyone that
refuses the mark of the beast will fall by the edge of the sword, NOT just the Jews - Daniel's
people Dan.9:24) (Rev.13:15-18)
(e) Daniel's people (Judah / Jews Dan.9:24) will be led away captive into all nations (Luke.21:24)
Note: Lev.26:14-15, 27-33
. The antichrist will have dominion over "all kindreds...tongues and nations"[47] (Rev.13:7)
EVERYONE is captive. (This includes Jerusalem)
. There is no record of Daniel's people (Judah / Jews Dan.9:24) being led away captive into
all nations. By this time (Rev.13:5) the antichrist (beast) already has have dominion over
"all kindreds...tongues and nations"
(f) Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the "times of the Gentiles"
be fulfilled (Luke.21:24).
. Matthew and Mark gives us the reason for Jerusalem being trodden down. It was
because of Israel's abomination that God made desolate (Lev.26:14-15; 27-33). Luke
says, "These be days of vengeance" (God's vengeance) [28] that will continue
(overspread Dan.9:27) until the "times of the Gentiles be fulfilled". (Luke.21:20-24)
Paul says, until "the fullness" (or the full number) [32] of the Gentiles be come in".
(Rom.11:25)
. The times of the Gentiles is NOW to come in (Eph.2:1-19) because Israel (the children
of the flesh of Abraham / Judah / Jews) have been "broken off" and the Gentiles are
being graffed in.(Rom.11:19, Eph.2:11-19, Matt.21:33-46) This will continue until the "full
number [32] of the Gentiles be come in."
Note: A direct tie in with the times of the Gentiles and spiritual blindness
"But their minds (i.e. Daniel's People / the Jews today) were blinded: (Rom.11:25,
Matt.13:14-17) for until this day remaineth (remains) the same vail untaken away in the
reading of the Old Testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day,
when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it (The Nation of
Israel / (the children of the flesh of Abraham) shall turn to the Lord, (Rom.11:20-26)
the vail shall be taken away." (2Cor.3:14) This will continue to happen to Israel (the
children of the flesh of Abraham / The Nation of Israel Rom.9:1-8) until "the times"
(i.e. the full number of the Gentiles be come in Rom.11:25, Eph.2:11-19; 3:1-12)[32],
which we are in today.[46]
(c) THEN after the full number of the Gentiles / Nations are gathered in, the "children of the
flesh of Abraham" (Rom.9:8 the Jews today) will be grafted in IF THEY ABIDE NOT STILL IN
UNBELIEF. (Rom.11:23, 2Cor.3:1-18)
(d) UNBELIEF IN WHAT? Unbelief that Jesus was, and is the Messiah (John.1:41; 4:25)
who came to confirm (Gal.3:15-16, John.1:11) the promises made unto the fathers.[51]
(Rom.15:8, Matt.5:17-19)
(e) THEY will be "grafted" in to what they were broken of from
This not automatic.[52] The condition is "if" (See chart below) they (the Nation of Israel
(2Cor.3:14-16, Rom.11:25, Eph.2:11-22; 3:1-12) ABIDE NOT STILL IN UNBELIEF. (Rom.11:23)
"The good olive tree" (Rom.11:20-24)
(4) Some may ask : What about Luke.21:24 and Rev.11:2?
"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. 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.
(John.2:18-20, Col.1:17-18, 1Cor.6:19, Eph.2:20-21, 1Peter.2:5, Acts.7:47; 17:24)
(a) A Reed like unto a rod - (Jesus is the rod) [50]
(b) A Reed (Jesus) measures [51] the Temple of God / The Sanctuary / House of God
. This a future Temple (Rev.4:1-2, 2Thes.2:)
. The ONLY future Temple that is to be built is The Church (Matt.16:18, John.2:18,
Eph.2:1-22; 5:25)
. This future Church is not destroyed, it is measured! (Rev.4:1-2; 11:1-2, Eph.4:11-16)
. Both Daniels and Luke's prophecy, and says, the "city and the sanctuary" will be
destroyed. (Dan.9:26, Luke.21:20-24) John says the Temple will be measured and
the court without leave out" (Rev.11:1-2)
. Why is the Temple (The Church) measured?
(c) But the court ... measure it not.[52] (Rev.11:2)
. What is the court that is without the Temple?
. The "court" was not measured because it is given unto the Gentiles (The Nations)[53]
This is understood by studying the Tabernacle and focusing on the Outer Court
. God is giving the court over to the Gentiles.
(e) And the holy city (that is now called Sodom and Egypt) shall they (all the Nations
lead by the man of sin / antichrist / beast) tread under foot forty and two months.
(f) For it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty
and two months. (Rev.11:2)
. This does not match the times of the Gentiles found in Luke.21:24 because Matthew
and Mark confirm this is the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem
. Romans 11 says that the fullness (the full number) of the Gentiles
Right now the Gentiles are being saved
They (the Gentile / Nations) shall tread under (have dominion) foot forty and two months.
During this time the whole world (every Nation, kindreds, tongues) lead by the
beast (antichrist) will have power (Rev.11:2)
. This is not the "times of the Gentiles"[54] The times of the Gentiles is a period of Grace
given for them to be redeemed
5. For there shall arise false Christ’s
a. Matthew's Gospel (Matt.24:23-25)
Then (the context is the days that the Temple is destroyed, 70 AD) if any man shall say unto you,
Lo, here is Christ, (Messiah / anointed one) or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false
Christ’s” (Messiah’s and anointed ones).
(1) These "false Christ's" would seem to belong in the Tribulation
IF TRUE then this would pull the abomination of desolation into the Tribulation, however,
the apostle John writes, (in the 1st. Cent. AD) "it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, (2Thes.2:3-8, Rev.13) even now (in the 1st. Cent. 1John.4:1-4) are
there many antichrists; (false Christ's / anointing's 2Cor.11:1-15, 2Peter.2:1-18, Jude.1:1-13)
whereby we know that it is the last time. (i.e. the last 2000 years / 2 Days 2Peter.3:1-9)
There will NOT be any antichrist's in the Tribulation, there will ONLY BE ONE antichrist, the
man of sin. (singular)
(2) Review the context of Matt.24:15-24, Mark.13:14-23, Luke.21:20-24
The context of Matt.24:15-24, Mark.13:14-23, Luke.21:20-24 is the destruction of "the city
(Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (The Temple) being destroyed 70 AD. Read again Matt.24:15-19,
Mark.13:14-16, Luke.21:20-21 "when you see the abomination of desolation / not one stone
left upon another...then (70 AD) (Matt.24:16-20, Mark.13:14-18, Luke.21:21-24)...then (70 AD)
(Matt.24:21)...in those days (70 AD) Mark.13:19, Luke.21:23.
b. Mark's Gospel (Mark.13:21)
Then (the context is the days that the Temple is destroyed 70 AD) if any man shall say to you,
Lo, here is Christ; (Messiah / anointed one) or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christ's
(anointing’s) and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were
possible, even the elect." (1John.2:27) But take ye heed behold, I have foretold you all things.
c. Luke's Gospel (Luke.21:24)
Matthew and Mark warn against the false christ's (anointing's) and Luke adds "they shall fall
by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be
trodden down (beginning with the 70 AD destruction of the Temple) until the times of the Gentiles
be fulfilled." (Luke.21:24)
VIII. There remains 3 1/2 years to confirm the covenant
After "threescore (60) 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." (Dan.9:26) History confirms this order.
A. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us
He was made the Messiah, (John.1:1; 1:14; 41, Phil.2:5-10, 1John.5:7-8, 1Tim.3:15-1) the only begotten
of the Father (God John.1:18). He ministered for (3 1/2 years), and was crucified. ("cut off") THEN
70 years later a flood, (ungodly men / armies 2Sam.22:4-6) came and the end of the war (desolations)
[34] were determined (Dan.9:26-27)[14] This leaves 3 1/2 years of confirmation to fulfill the prophecy
of Daniel. (Dan.9:24)
How is Jesus (Luke.1:3, Acts.1:1, John.1:11) going to finish the confirmation when He is sitting at the
Father's right hand? This will be through the two witnesses, Moses (The Law) and Elijah (The Prophets)
B. I will give power unto my two witnesses
They shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, [3½ years][41] clothed in sackcloth.
...These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will"
(Rev 11:3-7).
1. The two witnesses
These (two witnesses) "have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:
and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often
as they will" (Rev.11:6-7).
a. One will be Elijah
Elijah shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: (James.5:17-18, 1Kings.17:1)
Elijah represents the Prophets to Israel (Mal.4:5, Matt.11:14; 16:14).
b. The other witness will be Moses
Moses had power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues,
as often as they will" (Exod.7-12, Note: Exod.7:19). Moses represents the Law (Acts.3:22,
Deut.18:15).
2. It was both Elijah and Moses that bore witnesses to Christ's transfiguration
After six days Jesus taketh (takes) Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth (brings) them
up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the
sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and
Elias (Elijah) talking with him" (Matt.17:1-6).
a. Jesus said
Think "not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (Matt.5:17-18). Jesus, (who brought grace and truth
John.1:17) agrees with the Law, (Moses) and the Prophets, (Elijah) and they agree (bear witness)
with Jesus.
b. Jesus said
Many "prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see,
and have not seen them and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them" (Eph.3:5, Matt.13:16-17). The reason is because It was revealed, that not unto themselves,
but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have
preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the
angels desire to look into" (1Peter.1:12-13).
c. The apostle Paul who was taught by Jesus says
(1) Law and Prophets bear witness
The Law and the Prophets bear "witnesses" to the righteousness which is by faith of Jesus
Christ (Rom.3:21-31, Gal.1:11-12).
(2) Kingdom of God in the Law and Prophets
When "they had appointed him (Paul) a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to
whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus,
both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening"
(Acts.28:23).
3. Israel (Daniel's people, Dan.9:24) will only hear "Moses and the Prophets"
Abraham says, "they (Daniel's people Dan.9:24) have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them. And he (the rich man) said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent. And he (Abraham) said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (Luke 16:29-31).
4. Moses and Elijah are prophesying for 1260 days,
"I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and
threescore days,[26] clothed in sackcloth" (Rev.11:3).
a. 1260 days is 42 months (Rev.11:2).
b. 1260 days is time, times and half a time (Rev.12:6,14).
c. 1260 days is time, times and dividing of times. (Dan.7:25)
Note: 1260 days divided by 42 months is 3½ years which happens to be the remaining time left of
the Covenant to be confirms to Daniel's people.
5. They were prophesying in Jerusalem
However they will only experience Passover (Num.9:9-14) because the Marriage has already
happened and culminated. (See point VIII.A.1-5 on this page) This is...
a. Where our Lord was crucified
Moses and Elijah were prophesying "where our Lord was crucified" (Rev.11:3, 8), Jerusalem!
The place where Jesus was cut off while confirming the first 3½ years of the Covenant.
b. Now it is understood what Moses and Elijah were prophesying.
They were prophesying about Jesus the Messiah confirming the New Covenant in His blood.
This is where "if they (the Jews) abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in" (Rom.11:23).
Graffed into what? Graffed into the one and only purpose that God has had since the
beginning of the world (Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12).
Note: This 1260 days is also the same period of time that the antichrist has "power to
continued" (Rev.13:5).
(To be continued........)
A. (Cont) Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the Temple
2. Question:2 "What is the sign of your coming?"
....
This a key
to the context to
understanding...............
the "abomination"
(Review: Point 3.b.)
Israel waiting for the MESSIAH, HIS MINISTRY, HIS CRUCFIXION
and THE TEMPLE BEING DESTROYED 70 AD
"Stiffnecked people" (Acts.7:1-53)
Appointed time / Passover Lamb kept for 4 days then Crucified / slain /cut off / sacrifices ceased
NOTE: How History confirms this Order
Oral Torah
Talmud
Mishnah
Mishrash
Gemara
REMEMBER this time is given to the antichrist.
IT IS A SET TIME that cannot be shortened
which separates itself from Matt.24:22

NOTE: We must remember that we are dealing with "Messiah the prince" (one person) and "the people of the prince that shall come (a goup / army
Note:
Matthew, Mark and Luke are paralleling the SAME EVENT
Luke is not speaking another abomination in the future
History confirms this order.
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of the world?
Immediately

Last days
The Covenant ALREADY in place. NOT MAKE A NEW COVENANT
But God did not break His Covenant with them. (Heb.6:16-18,
Rom.11:28)
(See conclusion of the Page.7
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of the world?
These "Oracles" (Acts.7:28, Rom.3:1-2)were a "schoolmaster" to bring them to be fulfilled in Christ. (Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24)
"What shall be the the signs of your coming. and the end of
the world?
NOTE: This DID NOT stop the confirmation!....................................
Note:
If this is the antichrist making a covenant with the Jews why is there no confirmation of this the book of Revelations?
NOTE: Under the Law there was serious consequences to not keeping the Feasts days, which they experienced 70 AD)
69 Weeks already accounted for
and the Purpose of Dan.9:24 has not be fulfilled yet
NOTE
69 of 70 weeks have been fulfilled which means that MESSIAH being "cut off" has to
be part of the 70th. week.(There is no other place left for Messiah to be cut off)
This makes MESSIAH
