Subject: Who is the "they" in this passage? |
Bible Note: Greetings Kalos, my friend! I was rolling on the floor and laughing for about five minutes after reading your first paragraph! :-) (Toes?) Yes, you are absolutely right! Daniel 2:44 is the "key" verse, even though everyone likes to dwell upon all the other verses.. :-) Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15 are very interesting when viewed in conjunction with each other... Many believe that 'the holy place' will be a new, rebuilt temple. But what is this "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION"? Many believe, along with myself, that this is referring to the Anti-Christ (Dan. 9:26), as being the 'one' who will stop the sacrificing and make 'desolate' in Matt. 24:15. However, my Zondervan NASB Study Bible thinks that this was Antiochus Epiphanes who erected a pagan altar to Zeus on the sacred altar in the temple of Jerusalem. But I think that this is referring to the Anti-Christ. Grace to you, Nolan |
