"To: EAR, Matson, and others concerning Daniel’s prophecy and the abomination of desolation."


 
It seems to me that there were two “abomination of desolation” established in scripture.  The first had to do with Satan’s attempt to destroy God’s New Church via the crucifixion of Jesus. The second has to do with Satan’s attempt to destroy The New Church via WW 111.   Both of these attempts are associated with actions in Israel.  
 
Notice these words in Daniel 12:11-12  “and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.  Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” (1335-2290=45 days)
 
It was forty-five days after the crucifixion that God gave the Holy Spirit to His disciples and the world.  This was at the very end of Daniels prophecy and it was the beginning of the New Church.  
 
Within my understanding we are watching events in Israel as Satan takes his final stand against God New Testament Church. The Church will be removed from the earth (Rapture) shortly before the rockets begin to fall on Israel and people will have to flee Israel in order to escape the destruction.   
 
You may want to see if my understanding fits in with your understanding.  Thanks for all that you have presented for us to study.
