049 | What is the Abomination of Desolation? (Matthew 24: Last Days Series - Part 4)

What is the "Abomination of Desolation"? This question has puzzled many students of the Bible. Many think that it refers to an End-Times Anti-Christ figure who will precede the final days. However, is this what Jesus meant to communicate? In this episode, we consider what Scripture has to say about the "Abomination of Desolation" and what it actually means. We also take a look at the testimony of history to see how it was fulfilled, just as Jesus said it would be and its importance for the Christians he spoke to in his day. We also consider how it affects our own understanding of the End Times today. Articles in this series: JESUS & THE LAST DAYS | Which Generation Would See the End?
