Abomination of Desolation in the Temple
Zechariah 11:8: "Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also
abhorred me."
The Muslims believe that there is only one God, Allah, and that his prophet was Mohammed. They do not
accept that Jesus is the Son of God. Instead, their belief is that He was only a prophet, equal to Adam, Noah,
or Moses but still below Mohammed in importance.
Notice in this verse where it says, "and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me."
Because the Muslim's do not accept Jesus as the Son of God, God does not accept them. Remember, Jesus
died on the cross for our sins.
John 3:18: "He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Acts 4:12: "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved."
Jesus is the way and only through Him is their salvation.
On March 22, 2004, the first of these three shepherds was removed when spiritual leader, Shaikh Ahmed
Yassin, the founder of the Islamic resistance group Hamas, was assassinated as he left a mosque after
dawn prayers. Israeli helicopter gun-ships fired missiles and killed him while he sat in his wheelchair.
The second shepherd was removed on April 7, 2004 when U.S. Forces dropped two 500-pound bombs on
the Abdul Aziz al-Samarrai mosque in the Iraqi city of Fallujah. This mosque was of the original temples built
by King Solomon. The strike killed the cleric (shepherd), who was among the forty worshippers at afternoon
prayer.
The third shepherd was removed on April 18, 2004, when Israeli forces launched missiles at spiritual Hamas
leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi's car in the Gaza Strip, killing him.
All three of these were removed in the time-span of one month.
Daniel 9:27: "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he
shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate..."
Notice the date on which the second shepherd was removed, April 7, 2004. The date is significant. The
covenant was confirmed on October 7, 2000. The midst of the week (seven-year period) is April 7, 2004,
exactly 3 1/2 years to the day. Just as the verse says, "the sacrifice and oblation" or, prayers to God were
caused to cease.
Mark 13:14: "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing
where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:"
When the temple was bombed on April 7, 2004, it signified the destroyer, which is one of the names of satan,
standing in the temple. This is why it says, "let him that readeth understand"
Daniel 12:11-12: "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth,
and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
The Jewish people in Israel use a lunar calendar. The starting of each new moon to the next new moon is a
month for them. However, throughout most parts of the world the Gregorian calendar is used. It was
introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 and accepted by England and the American colonies in 1752. It is
also called "New Style." It replaced the "Old Style" Julian calendar that Julius Caesar introduced in 46 B.C.
The Gregorian calendar of 365 days a year is the calendar God has used during the time frame of the Gentile
age for the end time prophecies.
If you add 1290 days to April 7, 2004, it will take you to October 19, 2007, two days before the completion of the
"Feast of Tabernacles", "Feast of Booths", or "Feast of Ingathering" that God declared would in the seventh
month starting on the 15th day going to the 21st day (Leviticus 23:24). This is our October 15th to October
21st, 2007 in the Gregorian calendar.
April (Nisan) the month of Passover is Israel's first month of the year in the Hebrew or Jewish calendar. Even
though the seventh month from Nisan is the month of Tishri the month that starts their New Year. The first day
in Tishri is also the "Feast of Trumpets". This is the Gregorian month of October that we use in the United
States.
The Tabernacle was the first sanctuary reared for the Lord at His command, and was rendered glorious and
effective by His actual indwelling. The Tabernacle was the authorized place of worship. The dwelling of God
with man is the dominant theme of the Tabernacle, all pointing to the time we shall be gathered to be with
Him.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration of when the Hebrew people entered into the Promised Land.
Zechariah 14:16-19 envisions all nations coming to Jerusalem year by year to keep the "Feast of
Tabernacles." The punishment for those who neglect it is that upon them no rain shall fall. It is one of the
greatest and holiest of the Hebrew feasts. The Tabernacle was the authorized place of worship.
"The Feast of Booths" or "Ingathering" will be from October 15 through October 21, 2007. Jesus was at the
Feast of Tabernacles (John 7:2) when He said these words:
John 7:37: "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying if any man thirst, let him
come unto me, and drink."
However, those that wait until the 1335 day, it will take them to two days before the "Feast of Dedication" on
December 5, 2007, the Jewish month of Kislev according to the Jewish calendar. This is why it says "blessed
is he that waits." God returns His blessing to Israel and the original branches are established back in their
own olive tree (Romans 11:23-25).
The "Feast of Dedication" is also known as "The Feast of Hanukkah", "The Feast of Illumination," or "The
Feast of Lights." The Jewish people have named it "The Feast of the Maccabees." It commemorates the
Temple in Jerusalem being cleansed after Syrians under Antiochus Epiphanies had desecrated it on the 25th
of Kislev or December, by sacrificing a hog upon the temple altar. (1 Macc. 4:52-59, 2 Macc. 10:5).
The restoration of worship of God was effected by the Hasmonean Judas Maccabeus, about the year of 165
B.C. after its defilement. The feast is celebrated today among the Jewish people.
The festival is characterized by the illumination of synagogues and homes. It is a time of joy and happiness
and no public mourning is permitted during this feast. Work is allowed on these days. The prescribed festive
ritual is the family solemnly gathers around the father as he lights the candles with a prayer of thanksgiving to
God for the liberation of His people from the persecution of the oppressor.
Tradition claims that Judas Maccabaeus, found a cruse of oil, which was sufficient for a day, but lasted for
eight. The system of lighting is one candle is lit for the first day, and one additional candle is lit each day until
a total of eight is reached, commemorating the rededication of the Temple.
The Apostle John called it the "Feast of Dedication" (John 10:22). The feast falls on the twenty-fifth day of
Kislev which tallies with December . The lamp stand represents Israel as God's center of Light during the
thousand years of peace.
The "Feast of Dedication" was observed like the Feast of Tabernacles (II Macc. 10:6-7), with palms,
branches, and the singing of psalms. Psalm 30 was read in ritual of the day on this feast occasion.
The temple was rededicated on the 25th of December or Kislev (Macc. 4:54), even though it had been
desecrated on that same day a few years earlier.
John 10:22-23: "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in
the temple in Solomon's porch."
When Christ walks in the temple on the 25th of December of 2007, all corruptible things that polluted the
temple will be removed.
The "Feast of Dedication" continues for eight days. For the Gentiles it will take them to January 1, 2008.
Which will be Israel's month of Tevet the 23rd day, the year of 5768 from the year of creation.
If you will add 2300 days to September 11, 2001, the day the twin towers fell, it will take you to December the
29th, 2007, the week of the "Feast of Dedication" and the cleansing of the temple, this will be the closing of
the Gentile age. This was the allotted time for the host to be trodden under foot and the cleansing of the
sanctuary (Daniel 8:13-14) by Jesus Christ and two days before the end of 2007.
Romans 2:10: "But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also the
Gentile:"
The feasts starts on the same day of the month that God declared that would be in the Bible, those by the
Jewish (Hebrew) calendar and those by the Gregorian calendar, although the calendar days are different from
each other.
The Jews first celebrate the "Feast of Dedication" on the 25th of Kislev the year 5768 is our December 5,
2007. The Gentiles "Feast of Dedication" December 25, 2007, is the Jews of month Tevet, the 16th day of
5768 from the beginning of creation. Both are on the 25th of the month, the day we celebrate Christ's birthday.
II Peter 3:8: "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day."
From April 7, 2004, adding 1290 days takes you to October 19, 2007 two days before the "Feast of Booths" or
"Ingathering" is complete.
From April 7, 2004 adding 1335 days takes you to December 3, 2007 two days before the Jewish "Feast of
Dedication" starts.
Add 2300 days to September 11, 2001, allowing for the extra day for the leap year in 2004, it takes you to
December 29, 2007, two days before the completion of the year 2007, and three days (Jonah 2:2-10) from
January 1, 2008.
The eighth day from December 25, is January 1, 2008. The temple is then cleansed.
Hosea 6:2-3: "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall
come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
The Gentiles will participate in the feast with the Jews. In addition, the Jews will accept Jesus Christ as the
Son of God, even though most missed His return. Christ has already come for His inheritance, His bride.
Revelation 20:6: "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath
no power, ..."
By Christ overcoming death by dieing on the cross, His bride overcomes death by becoming as one with Him
(I Corinthians 6:17). The "Feast of Dedication" will have new meaning for both Jews and Gentiles.
Zechariah 11:8: "Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also
abhorred me."
