That's good, I'm interested in learning from the Bible and I hadn't wanted to refute your posts nor assert any opinion other than what was there. If I've said anything that you feel contradicts the Bible as a whole please tell me and maybe we can discuss it.This post doesn't say anything. It neither refutes my posts nor affirms your opinion.
Are u saying that this is what Jesus was talking about in Mathew 24 verse 15?Antiochus IV Epiphanies defiled the temple.

Are u saying that this is what Jesus was talking about in Mathew 24 verse 15?
"When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place" (emphasis added)Are u saying that this is what Jesus was talking about in Mathew 24 verse 15?
Nope. People weren't "running to and fro over the face of the earth" neither did Man have the power to destroy all life "except He cut short those days." And, neither was "knowledge greatly increased" in the first centuryOkay, I read Matthew. All the details pertain to the first century.
Sukkot is the Feast of Tabernacles. It is one of the annual Holy Days. Hanukkah is notI don't know anything about Sukkot. I was told it was Chanukah.
What are you going on about? What is this "running to and fro over the face of the earth" business?Nope. People weren't "running to and fro over the face of the earth" neither did Man have the power to destroy all life "except He cut short those days." And, neither was "knowledge greatly increased" in the first century
Yes.....
Y'all have an interesting take, tho what I'm looking at is the fact that the words "abomination" and "desolation" show up throughout the last four chapters of the Book of Daniel. There's a lot there, including the year that Jesus himself would be crucified. Considering all that and more, it's a bit hard for me to say it was just something that Antiochus did a century and a half later."When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place" (emphasis added)
In 167 BC, the Jews stopped their regular burnt offerings. Antiochus IV Epiphanes was ruling the Seleucid Empire at the time, and apparently offered swine in the temple and erected an altar to Zeus (Jupiter) there. The abomination that Christ's apostles were to anticipate appears to have been modeled on the activities of Antiochus IV.
In the apostles' generation, meet Phannias ben Sameul. This interloper in the priesthood mocked the institution in the manner of those who put him there and desecrated the Law while legitimate priests could only look on from the sidelines in tears (Wars 4.3.8).
You have not yet synthesized your observations of the text into any cohesive summary. Nor have you refuted me yet.Y'all have an interesting take, tho what I'm looking at is the fact that the words "abomination" and "desolation" show up throughout the last four chapters of the Book of Daniel.

End time scriptures. We are using the Bible, right? If you're the not familiar, plug it into GoogleWhat are you going on about? What is this "running to and fro over the face of the earth" business?
You won't be mocking Him when He Returns as the Lion of Judah55% believe he will never come again .
And 90% would ignore him if he did turn up with his nauseating brand of sentimentalism and outright narcissism .
He was a flop first time round and no surprise when he was finally nailed .
Prophecy depends on the popular vote?55% believe he will never come again
You won't be mocking Him when He Returns as the Lion of Judah
Zechariah 14
New International Version
The Lord Comes and Reigns
14 A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a] in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
10 The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place. 11 It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.
12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another. 14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.
Not allEven the very (s)elect shall be deceived.
