Jesus said watch and gave signs for what would be taking place when he returns. He was very adamant about us watching.
So what signs did he give us that would be obvious?
Matthew 24:15 When you see the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet then.....
So what did Daniel the prophet say in relation to the abomination of desolation?
Daniel 9 gave us 70 weeks that are proven to be 70 weeks of years from Jacob's dealings with Laban in Genesis. He was told to finish the week of servitude for Leah and then it said when he had finished his 7 years for Leah. This shows that a week is 7 years in scripture.
70 weeks would then be 70 times 7 = 490 years
Daniel 9 then said that the Messiah would be cut off but not for himself in 69 weeks. Jesus was crucified on the exact day 483 years after this prophecy was given. But the last 7 years has never been fulfilled. Some say it was fulfilled at the time of the Maccabees, however, though there was a pig sacrificed in the temple the Maccabees revolt took place before Jesus crucifixion before the 483 years had completed. Daniel 9:27 tells us that there would be a 7 year covenant during the time of the abomination. There is nothing written in history regarding a 7 year covenant at the time of the Maccabees. Therefore it is easy to prove that the abominations was not the Maccabees abomination. Then there was the Romans who in 70 AD destroyed the city and the sanctuary, but again there was no 7 year covenant.
So we are still watching for the abomination of desolation.
Daniel 11 talks about this again and says that the king of the north will be in battle with the king of the south and arms will rise up on his part and take away the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination. Some say that this was Epephanes, however, again there was no 7 year covenant. But this war between the king of the north and the king of the south should be an indicator that we are close. Daniel tells us that the king of the south is Egypt but we have to look into history to see who the king of the north is. Again we know this has not yet been fulfilled because there is no record of a 7 year covenant.
Daniel 8 tells us that there will be a little horn who rises up out of one of the 4 areas that Alexander the Great conquered and subsequently his 4 generals ruled. This proves that this little horn will be a Muslim as every country in these regions is Muslim today.
In chapter 8 we are told that this prophecy is for the time of the end and that the kingdoms will be given to the saints so we know that this prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. In verse 13 it says that this little horn will set up the abomination that causes desolation. However, it tells us that there will be 2300 days;
Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Before we try to understand this, understand this; the little horn is not the prince of the covenant of Daniel 9 or the king of the north of Daniel 11. Notice that arms rise up on the part of the king of the north in Daniel 11 and in Daniel 9 the prince of the people who destroyed the city and the sanctuary will "cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" but in Daniel 8 the little horn does the dirty deed.
So these are 3 different events, by 3 different people, surrounding the setting up of the abomination.
Now back to Daniel 8. The 2300 days throws a monkey wrench into the whole understanding of the final 7 year. For this reason most either ignore the 2300 days or attribute this period to some other event and not during the end times. However, verse 17 says; "So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for
at the time of the end shall be the vision."
Notice in verse 8:13 the question is; "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? "
Where in scripture do we see the words trodden under foot?
Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
This seems to put Daniel 8 in line with Revelation. But Daniel 9:27 tells us that the abomination is set up in the middle of the 7 year covenant, right?
Well actually the King James Version says "midst" not middle of the 7 years. I can be standing in the midst of a crowd while not being in the middle of the crowd.
We are told to cast down every high thought and imagination that rises up against the knowledge of God and bring every thought captive in Christ. So how can we reconcile this 2300 days?
We know that the beast only rules Jerusalem for the final 42 months. We know that the woman goes into a wilderness for 1260. Daniel 12 tells us;
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."
So the last half of the 7 years is 1260 days or 1290 days or 42 months and then 2 witnesses will be here during this time and temple will be trodden under foot for this same period.
But this should only leave 1260 days for the first half of the 7 years, not 2300 days. What a conundrum!
I looked up this 2300 days in the Strong's Concordance and found it means thousands or thousand. It would be a lot closer and easier to fit if it were 1300 rather than 2300, but every bible translation I have found says two thousand and 3 hundred.
But when I look at the Hebrew now the word in Daniel 11 is 'eleph and the word in Daniel 12 is 'eleph. The spelling in Hebrew script is also the exact same. So I have no idea why it is 2300 in the bible when I believe it should be 1300.
This 1300 should precede the abomination and the 1260 should follow the abomination.
The last time I studied the thousand years I am sure Strong's said the word in Daniel 8 could be thousands or thousand. But now it only says thousand. I don't know if it was changed with an update or what. I just have to put it out of my mind as I must have been mistaken.
So if the time in Daniel 8 is 2300 how would we reconcile this with other scriptures?
The prophecy of Daniel 9 confounded Christians who studied prophecy for decades because the 7 year covenant did not manifest right after the crucifixion fulfilling the 70 week prophecy. Only within the last few hundred years has it been understood by placing what is called the church era between the date of the crucifixion and the beginning of the final 7 years. It seems that time does not have to be consecutive when interpreting prophecy. It is this thought that leads me to a possible true understanding of the final period including 2300 days followed by 1260 days.
Is it possible that the covenant could be made for 7 years and then 6.25 years later (2300 days") the abomination is set up beginning the final 42 month reign of the beast?
I see no reason, based on the invisible church age in time, that this could not be true and therefore fulfill all scripture requirements.
Again, the word for 2300 could be 1300 which would make this whole understanding void.
So, IF, it is 2300 then look at this scenario.
On Jan 1st, 2007 the high Representative for the EU (aka Roman Empire) signed the first of 3 7 year covenants between the EU and partnering nations in the Middle East, including Israel. It was called the European Neighborhood Partnership Instrument. It is an agreement which helps partner nations financially to come into alignment with EU policies concerning agriculture and education. It was strengthened when renewed in 2014 and again on Jan 1st this year. It is now called the European Instrument.
So it is possible that we are now in the 7 year covenant period. It is not a peace treaty but scripture does not call for a peace treaty, only a covenant.
So if this is the Daniel covenant and the true number is 1300 in Daniel 8:14 then the date for the abomination should be July 14th, 2024.
However, if the true number is 2300 days then the date of the abomination should be April 20, 2027.
So lets say it is the latter. What would follow the setting up of the abomination?
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
The Coming of the Son of Man
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Okay so the last thing in this prophecy is a star falling.
Notice that the asteroid Apophis is scheduled to pass between the earth and the moon in April of 2029. This would be 2 years after the abomination was set up and just 11 months before the king and locust would surface. How long would it take for them to mobilize and exit the pit.
Understand that the earth is hollow. There is a star at the core and this star will crash inside when the asteroid crashes out here.
Now read Isaiah 13:9-13
Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Isa 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Isa 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Isa 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Isa 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
and
Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Rev 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Rev 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
To understand these scriptures you need to understand the hollow earth.
