Bible Question:
Greetings Merv! First of all, welcome to the forum! Secondly, in what way is it clear that the 'he' of Dan. 9:27 refers to Christ? Do you believe that Christ is also the one who will set up the abomination mentioned in 9:27? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: Hi Tim: Thanks for the question. No I do not believe Christ is the one who set up the abomination. The Text says "He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.(period) And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desloate. After Christ is crucified and resurected He is heaven with the Father. The predicted downfall of Jerusalem is predicted here in Daniel and also Jesus made the same predictons in Math.24. Verse 15 of Math. 24 says that when you see the "abomination of desolation" spoken of by Daniel - standing in the holy place - then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. This is exactly what happened. Rome invaded and utterly destroyed Jerusalem. This was a judgement predicted by God through Daniel and repeated by Jesus to His disciples. The "one" who comes on the wing of this abomination is the antichrist system which will lead the Church away from the truth and persecute people who try to keep the truth. This antichrist is/was the Roman Catholic Church. Their false doctrines still exist in the majority of Protestant Churches. See some of my other notes for comments. I look forward to your reply, God bless, Merv |
