Who is the abomination of desolation that Daniel predicted?
The abomination of desolation Daniel predicted is the Antichrist, who at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation moves into the temple in Jerusalem and stands in the holy place. Jesus referenced Daniel's prophecy, confirming Daniel as a prophet. When this happens, those in Judea must flee to the mountains.
Les explains that Matthew 24:15 records Jesus speaking to the twelve about the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. He teaches that this refers to the Antichrist moving into the temple in Jerusalem at the midpoint of the seven years. Jesus said, "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation... stand in the holy place," and warned those in Judea to flee to the mountains, not even returning to their homes. Les maintains that all of Matthew 24 is tribulation ground, the seven-year period, with the last half being the great tribulation. Jesus' reference to Daniel proves Daniel is a legitimate prophet.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
