Today I read an article:
What Is the “Abomination of Desolation”?
The article submitted by The Restored Church of God (RCG Organization) above did not surprise me because I have heard the same description about the abomination of desolation for many years in hundreds (if not thousands) of articles on the internet and all of them seem to be basically alike.
What gets me is why did not the rendition of Jesus in the
Gospel of Matthew get more specific about the future: like saying that people will be flying in airplanes and driving cars? Wouldn’t Jesus have thought that would help us to know that these are the end times? Wouldn’t he want us to know this? How about space travel? And internet communication? What about Haarp and weather manipulation? Mind control? WWI and WWII where millions of people are slaughtered in ovens and gas chambers? How about the unknown continent of America?
IT is as if he does not know! Just gives vague prophecies of little value!
How convenient!
Possibly to give what he prophesied some very long, long legs. Not sure if that is good or bad but it takes a while for humans to ingest information because of the amount of information. We have a mechanism that helps us to cope often with emergencies such as shock but on the other side of the coin it takes a while to understand, to sort out, and believe.
Matthew 24:41
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
He talks about two women grinding at the mill, granted women still do that in places like Africa, (maybe in the USA if you are Amish, although I don’t really know if the Amish grind at the mill still). Here is an odd story of Amish women cutting off beards and shaving hair in Drudge Report. Of course every story in Drudge is pretty off the wall. Is it true report?….who knows.
Four US women charged in Amish
beard-cutting attacks
Seems odd Jesus of the Synoptic Gospels would leave out so much detail and is so vague about the signs except for the signs that happened in the tumultuous years of the destruction of Jerusalem and Rome. IN fact he says:
Matthew 24:19
19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Well, just so happens Josephus mentions in his writings about some of the same things written about in the Gospel of Matthew.
….
It seems as if the vision of Matthew is a bit short sighted!
As if he could only see what was to be in the future by looking back!
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke and Acts and many of the other epistles all seem to weave a nice basket that Josephus backs with his prophecies that as far as I can tell he saw in the future behind him as well!
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IS IMPORTANT IN SORTING OUT THE TRUTH!

I AM THAT I AM (Part two)
The Gospel of Matthew rendition of Jesus appears to be a false prophet he warned of when he said:
Matthew 24:3
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Matthew 24:4
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you
nomen
noun \ˈnō-mən\plural no·mi·na
Kind of a play on words!
Interesting site: Nomen
Matthew 24:35
35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Seems to me many of his words did pass away by his nomen!
Matthew 24:22
22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Who is Matthew’s Jesus speaking about when he says the elect?
And the flesh is the word and very little of it survived!
Matthew 23:26-39
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Yea because it had already happened by the time Matthew (author of Matthew) wrote this particular verse!
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
With a little help from their friends!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
How thoughtful and kind. This person acting in the name of Jesus is pretending he cares as he is rubbing their nose in the dirt.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
This was said to Pope Benedict when he came to Israel by Shimon Perez but it was quickly altered. I still wonder why. In any case I think it shows that The Gospel of Matthew and the Synoptic gospels are falsified quite a bit.
This person is not the Son of God that is in the Gospel of John!
Because in the Gospel of John they greet Jesus with those same words after he had raised Lazerus from the dead in Bethany as he entered Jerusalem on the colt of an ass for the Jewish feast when the Chief Priests freaked out about how the people were following him and preceeded to entrap the real Jesus. (The one that came to glorify the name of His Father and not just himself!!!! ) The Messiah did not come to crucify Israel either.
John 12:12-13 King James Version
12On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John 12:12-13 New International Version
12The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![c]”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[d]
“Blessed is the King of Israel!” 14Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
Funny, I recall that what is written in the NIV is what was said in KJV, but isn’t.
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Sounds like he relishes this desolation and I don’t buy that the Messiah would say that!
Important to observe that Jerusalem was not desolate at that time….
not yet.
Odd discrepancy if you ask me!
I guess the author of the gospel of Matthew had NOT counted on the the survival of the written account given about the true Son of God in the Gospel of John!
Timing is very important!
When Pope Benedict went to Jerusalem in May of 2008 He was greeted by Shimon Perez at the airport and I saw the video clip where Shimon Perez said “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
IT disappeared quickly!!!!
I think that Pope Benedict is the Synoptic version of Jesus in the bible ie a false ‘made up’ rendition of Jesus…..more like Josephus Flavius!
The problem with everyone trying to decipher the meaning of what is written about Jesus is that there is a difference between the Son of Man and the Son of God. One of them has a kingdom now on earth and then the true Son of God’s kingdom is not of this world and He is the true Messiah!
A lot of people were named Jesus back in those days.
A lot of people were named Simon
and Joseph and Matthew, etc.
A lot of people called all kinds of things God!
The Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels are talking about two different people.
The Gospel of John seems to be an eyewitness account from the inside. The Synoptic Gospels seem to be a distant, fragmented, corrupted, confused account and very antithetical to the Gospel of John (I believe on purpose) to deceive the readers about who is the true Messiah. There is a huge difference in the personality, character and message portrayed of the Messiah in the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels and they cannot be the same person. Jesus seems to be apolitical in the gospel of John and very political in the synoptic renditions.
The false synoptic versions of the account of the Son of God is the Great Deception!
You cannot combine the Gospel of John with the Synoptic Gospels and say they match, because they don’t.
They are so opposite and they collide!
Everyone needs to remember that there was a war in Heaven and a third of the angels fell! They want to deceive men about God and His Son!
Why? Because they hate God and His Son and they hate all men and women!
Not just the Jews, not just the Christians, and not just Arabs, etc!
Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Luke 21:17
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
I put in the search on the online bible “hated of all men”and the Synoptic Gospels are the only ones that have this same saying. (Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17)
I suspect that the Synoptic Jesus was hoping that this would be true and more than likely wants to pick and choose his favorites to endure while turning each faction he invented against each other to confuse us so that we don’t know who the real enemy is. It is a trick of the devil.
I don’t consider these duplicate verses very much of a prophecy
(Mark 13:13 & Matthew 10:22).
Whoever survives will survive. I guess he needed to point out the obvious! Maybe because the Synoptic Jesus needs and loves martyrs! Notice that there aren’t very many martyrs in the Vatican. Those are the guys that get to endure for the Synoptic Messiah.
Chief Priests and the Legion – Revised
The Synoptic Jesus is a very mixed up Messiah!
Maybe “all men” has another meaning!

Please read the following article which I believe exposes the enemy:

Could this rendition of Jesus be the Abomination of Desolation. He sure seems to gloat about their demise!
Daniel 11:45 (King James Version)
45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Love how words that never pass away seem to be doing just that. Compare the same verse in New International Version:
Daniel 11:45 (New International Version)
45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at [a] the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
Pope Benedict delivered a tabernacle:
Pope Benedict XVI Blesses Magdala Center Cornerstone
“Duc in altum – Put out into the deep”
Im no prophet, but sure seems coincidental ….
Yet it very well could mean absolutely nothing!
I think the Abomination of Desolation happened already
and we are still enduring it!
After reading Matthew 24
I get the feeling
MATTHEW got up on the wrong side of the bed.
Bed bugs: stronger, tougher, and harder to kill than ever
