The Rebuilt Temple

Mark 13:14

July 12, 2020

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:

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Bible is prophecy. Did you know that there are more prophecies that speak of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ than His first coming? And yet, the subject of bible prophecy and the end times is often neglected in spite of Jesus’ command to “Watch!” (Mark 13:37) Unfortunately, there have been those who have predicted the day of the second coming of Jesus throughout the centuries, and of course, have been wrong. These false prophets have caused people to become skeptics or downright mockers of end times prophecies.

Today we are going to look at one of the most amazing prophecies in all of Scripture, and that is the prophecy of the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel (Daniel 9:27) and spoken of by Jesus Christ in Mark 13:14. As the world is in a tailspin over COVID 19, the 2020 election in America, Black Lives Matter (and of course they do, as do all lives), and whether or not to wear a mask, there is a group of devout Orthodox Jews who are part of an organization known as the Temple Institute. They have been building temple furniture and preparing clothing and many other temple-related items to prepare for the coming of their Messiah. Little do they know that their Messiah is Jesus Christ and the temple that they are seeking to build is a key part of end times prophecy. Hallelujah!!

May The Spirit of God stir our hearts to give us a fresh sense of excitement and urgency in serving The Lord Jesus that is at least as zealous as these unsaved, religious Jews are who are working diligently to prepare the way for Jesus to return. Selah
