Subject: REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed |
Bible Note: Dear Tam: In 167 B.C. Antiochus IV Epiphanes, attacked Jerusalem and put down the Maccabean Revolt. Consequently, He then took over the temple, and Josephus historian says, "that he (Antiochus) forbad the daily sacrifices to be offered, which were used to be offered to God, according to the law: and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate; either a garrison of Heathen soldiers in the temple, which drove the priests and people from it, and made it desolate; or rather an idol in it, it being usual in Scripture to call idols abominations, as they are to God and all good men; the image of Jupiter Olympius, as is thought, which was placed upon the altar of God by Antiochus, on the fifteenth day of the month Cisieu, in the hundred and forty fifth year of the Seleucidae, and is called the abomination of desolations, in the Apocrypha:" This appears to be an historical event, and there is little doubt that it actually accred, but there are those that espouse that though this has happened in history that it will happen again at the end of the time of trial, mid tribulation: Inferring that it is a double prophesy. Just some added info, don't know if you are aware of this or not, but thought you would find it interesting. God bless John |
