The abomination (that leads to) Desolation was the rejection of Gods plan through His son Jesus.
They rejected His plan and continued to offer sacrifices in the temple.
The desolation of the temple took place in 70ad.
If they were to build another temple as many say that temple would also be an abomination. Because once again they have completely rejected Gods plan.
Christians;
We really should consider why things like this are pushed.
In Daniel 9 we read about the seventy sevens.
The last seven has been twisted to produce ideas like this pamphlet.
The truth is the last seven was Jesus and His ministry.
Jesus started His ministry after he was baptized. (the end of the 69th seven).
There is no 2000 year gap between the 69th seven and the 70th seven. That idea is just nonsense.
Daniel 9 24
Seventy sevens are decreed for YOUR people to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy.
The Seventy Sevens were about the Jews (your people) not the world.
Jesus fulfilled all of that.
In Daniel 9 verse 27 we read
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven. In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.
Jesus ministry lasted 3 1/2 years. Then he died and rose again.
THAT ENDED THE SACRIFICE AND OFFERING.
The temple sacrifice and offering that continued after that point WAS the abomination. That abomination lead to the temple being destroyed in 70ad.
For 3 1/2 years after Jesus rose the gospel only went to the Jews. That completed the seventy seven.
Right after that Peter had a vision of the sheet with the unclean animals. That is when the gospel went out to everyone. (Acts 10).
I know this is not what is taught in "Christian" books and churches. Just consider who you trust and why you trust them. (that includes what I wrote here).
The Abomination of Desolation does not refer to Jews continuing to make sacrifices after the crucifixion.
Daniel makes it clear that the Antichrist, who sets up the abomination, is not himself an Israelite, but a foreigner (possibly Syrian or Turkish) who makes a deal with Israel for 7 years. He betrays Israel halfway through and sets up the abomination for 3.5 years, after which Christ returns and judges the nations. Then the millennial kingdom, then eternity.
By your timeline we should already be in eternity with no sin.
If your interpretation were correct, which historical figure made a 7 year deal with Israel during Jesus ministry? Why did Jewish sacrifices continue for nearly 30 years after the crucifixion, rather than the 3.5 years given by Daniel?
the seventy sevens where for Daniels people ONLY. You can see that in Daniel 9:24
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people.
verses 24-25 talk about the first 69 "sevens" or weeks.
verse 26
26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[g]
the footnote (g) reads... Daniel 9:26 Or death and will have no one; or death, but not for himself.
The rest of verse 26 The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:
We see that is history. The ruler who came after Jesus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70ad.
That temple had become an abomination because the people rejected The Living God and His son.
Verse 27
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven. In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.
There is no where is scripture where it says that anyone other than God confirms a covenant.
Jesus confirmed the covenant. In the middle of that Seven he died and rose. At That point any sacrifice at the temple would be a rejecting of the new covenant.
That is what the abomination was.
3 1/2 years after Jesus started his ministry he was "cut off" 3 /12 year after that the gospel when only to the Jews. That ended the 70 sevens.
Galatians 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Scripture makes it clear that as far as God is concerned there is no longer a separation between Jew or Gentile.
There are a people today that call themselves Jews but they are most likely not blood related in the Jews of the bible.
If they decide to build a temple the only reason they are doing that is because they have rejected the gospel. That temple would be a pagan temple.
I am not looking to get people upset here. I know full well that this is a touchy subject. I have my suspicions as to why a certain idea is pushed about this subject in scripture.
It's political, I will leave it at that.
...By your timeline we should already be in eternity with no sin.
By my timeline we are in what the bible calls "the age to come"
That is the age after the law was removed (70ad).
The first century Christians were like the first Generation Jews that left Egypt. They wandered in the dessert for 40 years until a new generation came along.
The first century Christians were still partially holding on to the law. 40 years after Jesus the temple was destroyed
There are other parallels between the 40 years in the dessert and the 40 years before the temple was destroyed.
One of those parallels is this. Moses went up into the mountain and after 50 days came back with the Ten Commandments. The people were sinning and 3000 were put to the sword.
Compare that to Jesus rising from the grave. 50 days later was the day of Pentecost when 3000 people were saved
2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus became sin so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
When we trust God our sins are no longer counted against us. That is what it means when it says there is no more sin.
The ruler who came after Jesus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70ad.
And the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Daniel 9:26
Here we see that a group of people shall destroy the city, with a prince coming afterwards from the same people. Who destroyed the Temple in 70 AD? They were led by a Roman general, but the soldiers were primarily Syrians or Turks. This indicates that Antichrist might be from one of those two groups.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week...
From Hebrews and Paul we know that a testament is of no effect until the death of the testator. Ergo by your reckoning the 7 year final week wouldn't even start until the crucifixion. Either way the Temple was not eradicated either 3.5 or 7 years after the crucifixion. Having the crucifixion as either the start or the middle of the final week doesn't match Daniel at all.
The clearest interpretation is that Christ came at the end of the 69th week, with the church age being a "pause button" of sorts before the final week. Keep in mind OT prophecy completely overlooks the church age, as that is the time of the Gentiles and thus not relevant to the Jews.
There is no where is scripture where it says that anyone other than God confirms a covenant.
Incorrect. Israel made a covenant with the Gibeonites (Joshua 9). David made a covenant with Jonathan (1 Samuel 18). In Exodus 23 God commands Israel to not make covenants with other gods, implying that they have the physical capability to do so (there wouldn't be a point to God telling you not to sin if you couldn't commit the sin in the first place). In 2 Kings 23:3 King Josiah made a covenant before the Lord. People make covenants in the Bible all the time. There's no reason to believe that the Antichrist is incapable of making a covenant, even if purely out of wicked mockery of God's covenant with Israel.
The age to come is used almost exclusively to refer to eternity, after sin is finally defeated and we live forever with Christ. Compare Mat. 12:32, Mark 3:28-30, Mark 10:30, Luke 20:34-36, Mat. 12:24-43, Eph. 1:21, and Col. 2:14. None of these passages make sense if "this age" means pre church age and "the age to come" means the church age.
The first century Christians were still partially holding on to the law.
Only some did, the Judaizers and those who fell prey to their false doctrine. This error was corrected by the Council of Jerusalem well before 70 AD. It was never a majority position or one held to by the Apostles.
You are right, outside of the bible do not trust what I or anybody else have written.
Take the information and seek God for the truth. That is what we are called to do.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
No, we live in what the bible called the age to come.
An age where grace and forgiveness rules.
Free Will is our choice to believe what God said is true and walk in that. Or to allow our fears to eat away at what God freely gives us.
Daniel Chapter 9:24 says
The Jews have seventy sevens to do six things. (notice this was written to the Jews not to the rest of the world) It was pointing to Jesus.
to finish transgression
to put an end to sin
3)to atone for wickedness
4)to bring in everlasting righteousness
5)to seal up vision and prophecy
To anoint the Most Holy One
Jesus has done all of that.
Jesus has brought in everlasting righteousness. Our sins are no longer counted against us.
That does not mean that we have lost our free will. We will always have free will.
Some people seem to think that Jesus will return and we will no longer sin. Are they saying that we will no longer sin because free will was taken away? Or are they saying that because we see God we will not sin?
Adam and Eve were walking and talking with God and yet they sinned. Will we be any different then them?
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory!
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Our righteousness even with our new nature will never be enough. We will always have free will. With free will there will always be the ability to sin.
The only lasting solution is the Grace of God.
Where our sin is no longer counted against us.
We are just called to trust in Him
So... Christ will not return, and we'll just be living in this nominal, depraved world and just be content with "grace"? I'm sorry, but I just don't follow.
We are called to Worship in Spirit and Truth.
We have to question why do we think we need to See Him in order to worship Him?
I believe Jesus will return but not in flesh (Just to be clear He can do whatever He wants).
We were created to live in the Garden. My belief is that in some way we are returning to a garden. Just like the Garden of Eden.
I don't know how that will happen I just know that the 2,000 year gap is a money maker for the people that push it.
It is also used to justify political things going on in the Middle East.
The abomination (that leads to) Desolation was the rejection of Gods plan through His son Jesus. They rejected His plan and continued to offer sacrifices in the temple. The desolation of the temple took place in 70ad.

Most say because we see God face to face, we will not sin. I would add, that our new nature will be completely put on at that time:
