Episode 31- Side Study- The Olivet Discourse- Part 3- The Abomination of Desolation

The Burros continue their study of the Olivet Discourse given just a few days before his arrest and crucifixion. Understanding that all of what Jesus said to the disciples would happen in their generation and reconciling those prophecies with accurate historical fact that it did, they now further their study into the meaning of the Abomination of Desolation. Through a cross reference of the Gospels of Luke and Mark and to compare with Matthew and the book of Daniel, they discover a unique verse that leads Rick to believe that the Roman Army surrounding Jerusalem was a pivotal moment that could prove the event is historical rather than future. It's a fascinating deep dive into historians, Josephus, Tacitus and Eusebius' accounts of the events of the destruction of Jerusalem and its Holy Temple in 70 AD. They discover shocking evidence of an entire destruction of a people and their center of worship that extends into the present! Thanks for listening and supporting our podcast!
