"(Let him who reads, UNDERSTAND)"
When our Lord mentioned the abomination of desolation,
as an outstanding event, a sign, to watch, and to heed,,,,,,,,,he made
a strange remark, above,,,"(let him who reads, UNDERSTAND)", the statement
being parenthetical in the passage. Seems to me that He may have
been indicating that there would be more than one group to whom the warning
may have significance, pointing to an "understanding" of Daniel's prophecy,
from differing viewpoints or points of vantage.
This,
may mean that the church itself, as well as Israel, may have its own abomination
of desolation, which will be seen, and heeded, or "UNDERSTOOD".
That
said,,,,,,this Jesus Burial Tomb book and movie produced by J. Cameron,
is just that,,,,a true abomination of desolation, for us, Christians. Our
Lord said in effect, "be ready to leave",,,when we see this marker, this
abomination. Also there would be "overspreading of abominations",
indicated by Daniel,,,for both Israel, and the church I believe.
The
Israelites "encamped" three days before the raging and overflowing River
Jordan, and then the "officers" went through the camp, and told them to
"get ready". And Joshua told them to sanctify themselves, for the
next day's crossing over the dry river bed.
I see
this as exactly where we are.....encamped before the raging waters of the
overspreading river of "judgment",,,,the Jordan River.
The abomination
of desolation for Israel, is when the man of sin, occupies the temple,
and calls himself, God. Our abomination of desolation will
be similar....when "man" boasts that our Lord was a fraud,,,that our Lord
did not resurrect, that the Word of God is not to be believed, and that
we as Christians are the most silly of all fools. This is "man",
who occupies our own Temple, of worship, and praise, which we offer to
our Lord. And "man", who diminishes God to nothing, and exalts himself.....................
Jesus told His deciples before He offerred Himself
on the cross, that "I will be REJECTED by this generation", and that would
usher in the age of the church. We are of Him, of His Body,
we are "In Him", therefore we are all part of His Body. We,
as a whole Body of Christ, will also be "rejected" by the last generation,
before the dispensation turns back to God's dealing with Israel.
At that time, Christ's rejection, led to His death and resurrection.
At this time, His whole Body, will be resurrected. And surely as
we look around, this rejection is taking place.
Rumor had it that the Titanic was "unsinkable", and that there was great
pride in the engineering of the ship, and boasting of its size and features.
The same movie producer who showed the world the movie "Titanic",,,now
presents to the world this "abomination of desolation". I have
often mused about the pride, and boasting that took place back in the early
1900's, yet God, who will debase all pride,,,saw that that ship, sank,
on April 14-15, in 1912. I have often thought, that that ship
is somehow related to the rising swell of pride that we see around us today,,,and
the amazing lack of "the FEAR of the Lord",,,that we see around us...........................few
survived the ship's sinking,,,,,
Meanwhile,
I certainly see this new revelation about this tomb of Jesus, as clearly
as I can see my hands.......as an "abomination of desolation" for us.
BE READY TO FLEE, DOVES ! EVEN FROM YOUR ROOFTOPS !
abundant blessings from your sister in Christ,,,,,,,,,,,Arlene
