1 | Explain abomination and desolation | Mark 1:1 | Val | 198630 | ||
One aspect of interpreting prohecies is that they have a near and far interpretation. In other words a present and a future. The present of the abomination of desolation was when Antiochus Epphanies came into the temple and descecrated it when he offered a pig on the altar. This is the near interpretation. The far interpretation is that one like him but even worse will do the same thing or something similar in the future. This will be in the middle of the seven year tribulation. You can do a word study on the day of the Lord and tribulation, the lawless one, antichrist and others to study this topic on future events. The last days is also another one. May God bless you. Val Mark 13:14 "But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. |

Dear Val, Except in specific instances (most notably Isaiah), I had never read that anyone taught that all prophecies have "a near and far interpretation." What is the basis of this hermeneutic? In Him, Doc |

Dear Val, Thank you, ma'am. I've not found anything quite like what you're saying in my own books on hermeneutics. However, poking around on the Internet, I uncovered the following from eParousia (March 2003) "It is common in prophetic literature for there to be both a near application and a far application to a certain prophecy." That is similar to what you've suggested, without extending the hermeneutic to all prophetic Scripture. In Him, Doc |

5 | Explain abomination and desolation | Mark 1:1 | Val | 198684 | ||
Dear Doc, Look in your Inductive Study Bible at the book of Daniel. Look at the instructions at the beginning of the book of Daniel. Under "Understanding the Visions and Dreams in Daniel" listed under 5d it speaks to observing similarities between the description of the despicable person of 11:22-35 and Antiochus IV Epiphanes. My bible is dated 1993. In it the page number is 1405. Yes sir I read the article you found and it seems to be the same application. Blessings, Val |
