📖 What does the Bible say will happen at the midpoint of the Tribulation? Matthew 24:15 holds a chilling warning — and most people miss what Jesus is really saying about Daniel's prophecy.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Matthew 24:15-26, we explore Jesus' direct reference to Daniel the prophet and the Abomination of Desolation — the pivotal moment when the Antichrist enters the Tribulation Temple and defiles it. We trace the history of Israel's three temples, from Solomon's Temple (~960 B.C.) to Herod's magnificent expansion, and look ahead to the coming third temple that Scripture says must be rebuilt. We also examine the urgent flight from Jerusalem described in verses 16-20, the unparalleled Great Tribulation of the final three and a half years, and Jesus' sobering warning about false Christs and false prophets performing signs and wonders to deceive even believers.
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
• What is the Abomination of Desolation? — Matthew 24:15 & Daniel explained
