contracts and their insatiable appetite for expanded natural resources around the
globe, especially African nations, fit into Bible prophecy and was predicted in
this prophecy book.
There have been several “desolations” of the Temple in Jerusalem’s long history but only
two “desolations”, of the several, are relevant to end-time
eschatology. They are the desolations mentioned by the
prophet
Daniel (Daniel 12:11; 9:26—which is not the same desolation
indicated in Daniel 9:27) and mentioned by Mashia (Matthew 24).
The first desolation starts the 1,335 day (year) count, which
began in 691 A.D. (not in 167 B.C. when Antiochus Epiphanes set up
an altar to Zeus and sacrificed a pig), and the second one will start the last 3 ½ years
of Daniel's seventieth (70th) week,
which will begin right after the covenant is breached between
the Beast and Israel.
Some theologians isolate and apply
Daniel's
1335 days and the 1290 days to Old Testament events, i.e.,
starting from Joseph’s Famine, among many other
non-substantiated ideas. The problem with these many theories
that circulate,
although intriguing, is that Daniel made reference to an
abomination that causes desolation that starts the 1290/1335
day (year) clock and when the countdown was completed, it would be the "end".
There has been no other erected abominations on the Temple Mound that
have lasted for 1290 (or 1335) days (years) that have brought or will bring the "end", other than
the 691 A.D. abomination. And since this clock count had not yet
started during the
times of Mashia (Matthew 24), any abomination theory that predates the
Mashia's discourse on the subject must be discounted. In short, endeavoring to go
backwards before the days of Mashia to find a qualifying
abomination is in direct conflict with
scriptural and historical evidence.
Some
scholars attempt to apply the abomination to when Rome destroyed the temple
in 70 A.D. However,
there is nothing in history that shows the resulting dates
to be significant prophetic fulfillment, not even close.
The resulting dates from 70 A.D. would be 1360 A.D. or 1405 A.D.
or if you subtract 7 years from the 1335 days/years you would
get 1398 A.D. In other words, if the temple destruction
initiated by the Romans did qualify as the “abomination that
causes desolation”, then within the 1335 day (years) window a
covenant that allowed the Jews to resume their religious worship
on the Temple Mound would have occurred and 3.5 years later a
breach of said covenant would have occurred and the "end" would
have come by 1405 A.D. However, the 70 A.D. desolation did
not produce any such occurrences. The same is true with
the actions of Antiochus. Therefore, the theory of the
Roman destruction of 70 A.D. (or the actions of Antiochus) as
being Daniel's abomination does not qualify and must be excluded
from consideration, since they are clearly unsubstantiated by
both scripture and history.
Finally,
what must be sought is a construction of an "abomination
that causes desolation", not a "destruction that causes
desolation". The 70 A.D. Roman destruction is not a
"construction" and did not, and is not,
causing a “desolation” that lasted 1290 days/years (nor 1335
days/years), nor did the Romans erect an "abomination"
after their "destruction" that
lasted 1290 days/years (nor 1335 days/years). Therefore,
from a qualifying abomination and desolation point of view, the 70 A.D. destruction did
not prevent the Temple Mound from being used. Anybody could
have built on it (including the Jews) prior to 691 A.D. However, six
hundred twenty-one (621) years after the 70 A.D. destruction,
the Dome of the Rock was erected ("set up"). This
abominable structure was, and is, causing “desolation”, as far
as Israel is concerned, even unto this day and
is unwittingly protected by a UN resolution agreement that
followed the Six Day War.
And, careful analysis of this 691 A.D. constructed masjid
reveals that it is filled with abominations and has already
lasted nearly 1335 days/years, i.e., 1317 days/years to be more
precise.
Mashia (Matthew
24:15; Mark 13:14) and John (Revelation 13:14) both spoke of
Daniel’s “abomination that causes desolation” as a future event,
not a backward event. These two desolations are significant to
this study and directly relate to the Scarlet Beast.
Furthermore, these said desolations must be accomplished by the
final resurrected empire and the last known abomination
that causes desolation was put in place by Islam (now
represented by the OIC) in 691 A.D. (see below). Now,
researchers can set their calendar and clocks by it--and the clock
is ticking.
Defining the phrase
“abomination that causes desolation” is also critical to
fully understanding what act qualifies as an “abomination that causes
desolation”. For starters, the word “abomination” has origins
in Hebrew which literally implies “idolatry” and this is also
used the same way in the Greek. The word “desolation” has
origins in Hebrew as well and literally implies “uninhabited”,
“laid waste” or figuratively “astonishment” and in the Greek it
implies “come to naught”. Combining these meanings into the
phrase “abomination that causes desolation”, the writers were
trying to express the idea that this desolation was not only
unique, as compared to other desolations, but would be an
idolatrous act that would prevent future use (uninhabited) of
the Temple Mound for more than 1290 days/years, at least as far as Israel is concerned.
Clearly the significance of the building of the Dome of the
Rock, also known as Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah (English
transliteration), Kipat Hasela (Hebrew transliteration) or
Kubbetus Sahra (Turkish transliteration), qualifies as an
“abomination that causes desolation”. It prevents Israel from
inhabiting the Temple Mound. The Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah was
completed in 691 A.D. and remains until this day.
What makes the 691
A.D. desolation unique is that this desolation was the first
desolation that erected a permanent abomination on the Temple
Mound in Jerusalem that has continuously prevented the Jews from
using the Temple Mound and in particular, the rebuilding of
their temple that was destroyed by the Romans (via Titus) in 70
A.D. Although Titus crumbled the Temple, he did not erect any
permanent structure of Idolatry “that causes desolation”, but
Islam did, the re-emerging Medo-Persian Empire. This knowledge
is critical to understanding the desolation phrase in the Book
of Daniel. Islam advanced the beginnings of a destruction desolation
initiated by Rome by removing everything from the Temple Mound
and then abominated it by erecting (setting up) an idolatrous mosque that not
only speaks abominations via its inscriptions but also
abominates it by its
subtle uplifting of graven images of the Moon-god and the
Star-god atop its dome.
At one time, Islam
faced Jerusalem (the Dome of the Rock) for its daily prayers
(too obvious) but has since shifted the direction for daily
prayers facing Mekkah. It is likely that this will be reversed
at some point, most likely right after the breach of the
covenant with Israel, forcing all peoples everywhere, thereby,
to worship the Image of the Beast in Jerusalem. Even Turkey
has requested to erect a shrine in honor of the most prominent
caliph in Islamic history, Ottoman, right in Jerusalem near the
Temple Mound. The caliph was commonly
referred to as “the commander of the faithful” (a commander is a
leader of forces) although its literal translation means
“successor”.
This fits quite
well regarding the future shift away from the gods known to his
father towards the “god of forces”, a “god unknown to his
fathers” (Daniel 11:38). The Ottoman also fit Daniel’s
description (Daniel 11:45) of him who settled his royal tents
between the seas (Istanbul). At this point, however, it is too
early to know the significance of the proposed Ottoman Shrine in
Jerusalem or whether another similar action will take place.
At this point, this shrine does not really fit as the Beast’s
Image that is to be worshipped.
An unlikely
alternate abomination is the completion of the Al-Agsa Mosque
finished in 715 A.D., also built on the Temple Mound adjacent to
the Dome of the Rock. Both masjids are filled with blasphemous
words, lies and deception, however, the Dome of the Rock has a
full moon instead of the crescent moon atop its dome. The
Al-Agsa Mosque has the standard crescent moon and the star atop
its dome. Both structures uphold the ancient Moon-god (Allah)
and the Morning Star-god (Venus, etc.). However, the first act
that qualified as an abomination that causes desolation was the
Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah. Therefore, the Al-Agsa Mosque was
merely an expansion of the existing “abomination that causes
desolation”.
An additional
requirement for a desolation to qualify as Daniel’s prophetic
“abomination that causes desolation” is that it must last at
least 1290 days (years) and 1335 days (years), minus 7 days
(years). The only “abomination that causes desolation” that is
getting close to that many days (years) is the Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah
that was “set up” in 691 A.D. If this one does not qualify as
the prophesied “desolation”, the Jews would have already started
rebuilding their temple long ago, perhaps as early as 1949 A.D.
or thereabouts. But the Jews did not and have not, because the
“abomination that causes desolation” (The Dome of the Rock) has
prevented them from doing so. Furthermore, if this abomination
does not qualify, then another one must be “set up”, which would
begin the 1335 day (years) count all over again, commencing from
its “set up” date. That is quite unlikely especially since most
Jewish leaders, Muslim leaders and “Christian” leaders are all
expecting the Mashia to come very soon. Is this a coincidence?
Not likely. Besides, who else in the world would want to set
one up? There are only three global groups with an interest in
the Temple Mound anyway, the Jews, Islam, and Christianity.
In conclusion, (as explained in the
book) more than one empire existed
simultaneously, but only one empire was the dominant one. While
one empire was in its glory days, another was on the rise. The
same applies here with Islam, the OIC. While the
Ottoman/Caliphate was in power, the emerging and eventual OIC
(Islam) was involved in facilitating the last known “abomination
that causes desolation” on the Temple Mound in Jerusalem.
Conversely, neither Antiochus nor Titus established a seven year
covenant with Israel, which they would have to have broken 3.5
years after establishing it. This leaves room for another
empire/entity to do so. With the Wakf (Islamic charity
holdings) in control of the Temple Mound, it gives them the
power or opportunity to broker a covenant deal with Israel.
Furthermore, they were the ones that constructed ("set up") the
existing abomination on the Temple Mound. They
will also initiate and facilitate the final “abomination that
causes desolation” following the 3.5 year breach of the seven-year
covenant (in the middle of the covenant) established
between the Beast and Israel.
Islamic Idolatry
Relative to the
abomination, and as shown earlier, Muhammad (father of Islam)
was reared within the context of polytheism which included the
Moon-god worship among other Arabic polytheistic and pagan
traditions and did not force conversion of Zoroastrian
followers. Although he departed from most of the polytheistic
gods known by his fathers, he created a new consolidated name
for the Moon-god. He named this god Allah. He also utilized
idolatrous Moon-god in conjunction with the Morning Star-god
symbols in this newly formed religion, which are placed atop all
mosques and are placed on many Islamic state flags and
currency. And the traditions of Arabic pagan events are
incorporated into the days of the month of the Islamic
calendar.
As indicated
above, Dr. A. Zahoor, Dr. Z. Haq, M S M Saifullah, Mohd Elfie
Nieshaem Juferi, Abdullah David, et al. try to deny or cover up,
the pagan historic roots of Islam but this is quite difficult to
hide. The culture and religion surrounding Muhammad clearly
shows that he was born in the Mekkah (Mecca) region that was
steeped in polytheism. Zahoor and Z. Haq (1998) clearly state
that ‘Ka’bah’ was the “first house of worship built on earth for
the worship of Allah”. And with another stroke of the pen
admits that ‘Ka’bah’ was “filled with three hundred sixty
idols”. The ‘Ka’bah’ was the holy sanctuary that Muhammad’s
grandfather, ‘Abd al Muttalib, cared for long before Muhammad
ever received any supposed revelations in 610 A.D.
Ironically,
Muslims claim that Allah is the same monotheistic god as the God
of the Jews, YHVH. But as Satan usually does, truth is mixed
with lies. It is true that one-god worship is monotheism but
monotheism does not, in and of itself, equate with worship and
belief in the same monotheistic faith of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. There has ever only been one true God of all Gods and
that is YHVH. In other words, Allah is not YHVH.
Additionally, when
Muslims are confronted by the questions regarding the Moon-god
symbols embraced by Islam, they either do not know the answer to
the question, they lie about the answer or they attempt to
deceive the inquirer about the answer. In fact, there is quite
a quandary among Muslim leaders struggling with what to do about
it since this inconsistency is leaking out to the public. More
and more people are becoming aware of their deception and they
will soon have to make a dramatic change, stage another fanciful
lie or go public with an admission. Said admission would
probably be a fabrication of more deceptions that would play
into the end game of the beast.
Thanks to the
Caliphate, and in particular the Ottoman Empire, nearly all
territory conquered by the Ottoman/Caliphate now remains under
the auspices of one religion (Islam), one language (Arabic) and
one membership (the OIC). The Ottoman/Caliphate unwittingly
accomplished this through inadvertently spreading their language
and religion as they conquered peoples, cities and lands.
There are some
minority religions still tolerated in Islamic states, but
eventually that will soon change. As indicated earlier, the
revived Medo-Persian Empire is Islam and Islam sees no
distinction between government and religion. And the only
collective global representation that Islam has is through the
OIC and partially through the Ayatollah.
Islamic Polity
Islam is not
structured like most church organizations with an Organization
headquarters where a Pope, an Echumenical Patriarch, or some
other ecclesiastical organizational top leader works out of.
Furthermore, there are only two supreme leaders in Islam, one
for the Sunni branch known as a caliph (with no active caliph)
and one for the Shia branch known as the Ayatollah, popularized
by Khomeini. The Shia’s current Ayatollah is Ali Khameini. The
Sunni branch does not currently have a Caliph, since the
Caliphate was abolished in 1922 A.D.
When the
Ayatollah realized he could not govern all the matters of public
affairs, he instituted a public government headed by elected
presidents. It is interesting to note that the first five
presidents of Iran were from political parties with the word
“Combatant” in its name. This is interesting to note that the
Book of Daniel clearly states that the king who exalts himself
will “honor the god of forces” (Daniel 11:38) implying the high
estimation of combat (like the Association of the Combatant
Clerics—political clerics/ministers of Islam) and will have no
regard for “the desire of women”. (The phrase “the desire of
women” implies Yahushua by proper translation, since women
desired to be chosen as the one to give birth to the Mashia.)
Islam in the only major religion of the world (with over one
billion followers) that does not regard Mashia as the Mashia, or
as the Son of YHVH, which is the core meaning of the phrase,
“spirit of antiMashia”. (There are other religions that do not
honor Mashia, but they pale in size as compared to Islam.)
There are Two Abominations that Causes Desolation.
As already indicated, there have been several desolations in the Temple’s
history but only two are applicable to Daniel’s and John’s
writings. The first qualifying abomination that causes
desolation occurred in 691 A.D. (Daniel 12:11). The second
abomination that causes desolation will occur in the middle of
Daniel’s last week, 2022 ½ A.D. +/-. The first abomination that
cause desolation gives an end date to the completion of Daniel’s
seventy sevens. The last abomination that causes desolation
marks to final few years (3 ½) of Satan’s rage (Daniel 9:27) and
is relative to the Image of the Beast, most likely different
from the Dome of the Rock (or a new and significant revival of the
Dome of the Rock). The location, however, of the abomination is
decisively marked.
This feature book (Eschatological
Epistemology) challenges the traditional points of view of
Christian eschatology (prophecy). More often than not, answers to mysteries are
solved by first asking the right questions. And more often than
not, the information that answers said questions is available.
Therefore, asking the right questions coupled with diligent
research will unveil the secrets of a mystery, especially as it
relates to Bible prophecy. This is the
essence of wisdom—knowing how to apply existing knowledge
(information).
