Bible Question: Explain abomination and desolation as stated in Mark 13:14. |
Bible Answer: 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. |
