In Jesus' prophecies for the last gener- ation He said: "for then there will be a great tribulation such as has not oc- curred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short." [Math.24: 21]
This is the final 3 1/2 years in human history as man knows it. It is also the 2nd half of the 7 year tribulation. It will be the most terrifying time since world history began 6000 years ago. The great tribulation is also called the "wrath of God" in Revelation 16: 1.
Jesus identified the "start" of the great tribulation to be "when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place". [Math.24:15] Jesus knew that Daniel 9:27 clearly pinpointed the "abomination of deso- lation" to occur exactly in the middle of the 7 year tribulation period.
The "abominable" aspect of the Mid-7 year point is that Antichrist becomes satanically empowered & then takes his seat inside the temple in Jerusalem. He then "opposes & exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship... & displays himself as being God." [2 Thess.2: 4]
TODAY, the Abomination of Desolation is being publicly rehearsed IN PLAIN VIEW on the world's stage. This is one of the hugest SIGNS of the clos- ing gap of time today to the 'start' of the 7 Year Tribulation and the Nearness of Christ to this generation. News/Photos
One of the most obvious and MAJOR SIGNS to this generation as to the closeness of the 'start' of the 7 Year Tribulation is the public REHEARSING of the Abomination of Desolation. On January 17, 2010 the 4th Rehearsal of this kind INSIDE A JEWISH TEMPLE was acted out AGAIN IN PLAIN VIEW on the world's stage. [ Headline News/Photos below ]
