Bible Question: Can anyone explain Mat 24:15? |
Bible Answer: elder4yhwh, My opinion is that Luke interprets that passage for us in Luke 21:20. However, the full answer must be a deep one as Doc has suggested. This is because as CDBJ has pointed out, the same notion is taken up again in 2 Thessalonians. So I think that in that particular passage Jesus was applying the language to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, but there must be a deeper fulfillment of Daniel with regards to this yet to come. In fact, you could pick a intertestemental event which we would almost swear fulfilled Daniel's prophecy had Christ not come along and told us to continue looking for its fulfillment. So there must be some way in which these things are types leading up to the ultimate expression of the prophecy which we would expect is what Paul points to in 2 Thess. But short answer.
