The Ultimate Abomination

The Abomination That Makes Desolate:  Abomination of Desolation

At that time, the time of the end (time of Jacob's trouble)  the ultimate abomination called the "abomination of desolation" will make itself known, manifest.  (Daniel, Mt. 24:15, Mk. 13:14, Thess. Rev.) That means the abomination that will make this world desolate will be revealed.  (Dan. 9:27, etc) What is that abomination?  The Son of Perdition.  (Thess)

 The entire human race will be worshipping him,Satan's spawn (seed). (Gen, Rev)  Satan Himself will empower a man, the antichrist.  This man, will walk into the temple of God.  He will be possessed by Satan.  He will throw and rip open the curtain into the Holy of Holies.  He will walk right up to God's mercy seat.  Then Satan, in the body of this antichrist man will proclaim to the entire human race that he is God.  What will humanity do?  Bow down, and worship him, in total deception.  They will accept his mark, 666. (Rev.) 
Paul's writings to the Christians in Thessolonika explains it this ways:  The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders, and every type of evil to deceivek those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned. (2 Thess. 2:9-11 ISV)
 And what will happen to it?     Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” (Dan. 9:26b,27 ESV)

... (The abomination of Antichrist)  whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming. (2 Thess. 8:b ISV)  

Even so, Come Lord Jesus.  (Rev. 20:22c KJV)  
Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.  (Eph. 6:24 NIV)



What Is An Abomination?

What is an 'abomination?"

The real question is, "What is an abomination in God's eyes?"   Human opinion doesn't matter, only the Almighty's.  That's why we go to the Bible, His Words of Spirit and Life,  to discover the wisdom of God. In my words?  An abomination is anything that human beings do that God finds detestable and can't stand.  Things that humans do that God hates. The main one being worshipping, or loving, or serving anything more than God through Jesus Christ the Savior.  (Prov. 6:16, 11:1, 12;22, Lev. 20:13 to name a few, etc)  

God clearly tells humanity what is right in His sight: He has shown you, o mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6: NIV)  That's how our Creator originally made us to be.  Anything else, is an abomination to the Omnipotent One Who Loves us.  Jesus, God in the body of a man, came 2,000 years ago.  He tells us, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is exactly like it: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.” (Mt. 22:37b-40 ISV)
After sin came into this world at the fall, the evil of humanity has prevailed under the blindness of the prince of this world, Satan. That's why we need our Savior Jesus, the Son of God, to save us from our sins. (Gospels) Thank God for His cross!!  Human evil will continue to prevail, and get worse until the end of this age. (Rev, Dan, Prophets)  This world is quickly becoming a total abomination in God's sight.  But, don't fear, look up, because Jesus will come again and make everything right!!
So, what is the definition  of 'abomination"? The Greek word is 'bdelygma'.  Which means: "an abominable thing, an accursed thing; (James Strong) ; derived from 'bdeo' properly, that which emits a foul odor, and hence is disgustingly abhorrent, (abominable, detestable); figuratively, moral horror as a stench to God, (Like when people refuse to hear and obey His voice) (HELPS Word-studies).   Let's give examples of abominations which the Lord our God detests; human arrogance and pride (Prov. 16:5); satanism, idolatry and sexual perversion (Lev. 18, Deut. 18); cheating others and dishonesty with our fellow man (Deut. 25:16, Prov. 11:1, etc.) to name a few.  I think our God given conscience can tell us others.   One of the worst abominations is being a 'lover of money', and pretending to be something other than what one is, a hypocrite. (How many people have and will do terrible things to others because they love money?  Is war all about that?(James))   Jesus has this to say to the Pharisees and to everyone who loves money instead of God: The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.  And he said to them,“You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."

The Sabbath Day

I love to rest on the Sabbath. 


 It was a special day set aside in Eden, at the beginning for mankind to rest and contemplate and commune with Elohim in His marvelous creation. 


 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. (Gen. 2:2 ESV)  God came down and walked with the man and woman who He made in the cool of the day in Eden.  I discovered the Sabbath as a God given day of rest and healing years ago. Jesus gave me the physical strength to function through out the week when I rested on His day set aside to cease from my daily activities.  I had had terminal cancer.  Jesus miracusly healed me in a moment of divine mercy from above. Resting on the Sabbath, Saturday helps keep me strong.  God designed the human body and soul to rest the seventh day. (Genesis 1)  "Sabbath" simply meant, to cease from activity.

Animals in Heaven

I think Scripture is clear animals have living soul and the breath of life and are therefore living souls . And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. *Gen. 1:30 NIV)  Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. (Gen 7:15 NIV)  (Genesis 6:17, 7:15,22) The living creatures that John saw at God's throne, 3 of the 4 are clearly God's animal  super angels.…The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME."  (Rev. 4:8)  And besides, Jesus comes back riding a white horse.I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. (Revelation 19:11) It cant be more clear that animals are in heaven, and they do have souls.   What is the difference between animals and humans?  We are made in the image of God, they are not. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27) And, let us remember that not even a sparrow falls to the ground apart from God. "Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father." (Mt. 10:29 NASB)  So, Church, let's us stop dissing animals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150:6 NASB)  Let's worship the great Creator

The Rapture

The rapture, it's timing is something I've been contemplating for 20 years. 
autostrattle.com

 I've held all positions, pre, mid, and post timing over the years.  Finally, the Holy Spirit gave me some in sights. 1) Missler is clear when we compare the rapture verses, harpazo, to the second coming verses these are 2 distinct events.  I defer to Missler on the timing as he is, in my oponion the world pre-eminant bible teacher.  2) The Holy spirit also told me, "The rapture is a non issue.  The day of debate is over.  Work while it is day."  In other words, for 20 years, an entire generation has debated the timing of the rapture while this world plunges into the last days and millions of souls are perishing annually. 

 Therefore, Church, it is time to leave this debate behind and focus on the work of the ministry.  
Debating the timing of the rapture is for a lukewarm church; going into all the  world, as a witness for Jesus is a Church on fire for our Lord!  Let us work while it is day!  We trust God and watch with expectancy for the appearing of our Lord and us being gathered to Him. (Thess.)
Love in Christ, Sid

My Experience

Years ago I did what the Prophet Daniel did.  I went on a 3 week fast seeking God's mercy on America.  I was in sorrow for the sins of America, my own sins and my people's sins.

Sid
 I was fearful for judgement coming upon our nation.  I have read Revelation and the Prophets of the Old Testament  enough to know that great nuclear wars will occur.  The arsenals now in possession of the great end time nations will be released with burning fury and mankind will come near to extinction.  Nuclear holocaust is coming to this world.  So, I begged the Almighty for mercy on America.

  At the end of 3 weeks I had a dream in which I heard words.  This dream was a message concerning the timing of World War 3.  I heard these words spoken to me in this dream: "World War 3 will be in 15 years."  I awoke, got up and looked at the calendar; September 11, 2002.  The approximate time was 7a.m. PST.

IF (and I emphasis IF), this was a message from God sent to me the the date of world War 3 will be September 11, 2017.  May God have mercy on America. 

The Apostle Who Jesus Loved

John was given the title, "the  disciple who Jesus loved." (Jn 13:23, 21:7)

He loved Jesus very much and was always very close to Him.  John, along James, his brother and Peter were Jesus' right hand men.  The "inner 3" as Missler calls them.  Decades after Jesus ascended to heaven, towards the end of John's life he was put on the island of Patmos to receive the Word of God, the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John was taken to heaven, and stood at God's throne.  John was shown the end of days, know as the tribulation.  He also saw the world to come, the new heavens and earth.  It would be wonderful to be close to Jesus like that and to see such great and mighty things... That's the desires of my heart.

Revelation 1 Contemporary English Version (CEV)

This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. Christ then sent his angel with the message to his servant John. And John told everything that he had seen about God’s message and about what Jesus Christ had said and done.
