On the contrary, my view is precisely that the AoD is at the start of the Great Tribulation! Why are you misrepresenting my view??
Not in Luke 21 it isn't, simply because you claim verse 20 is the AoD when it has NO mention of it, but instead gives a summary of the events leading up to the "days of vengeance" which only comes AFTER the great tribulation. So quit acting like you've not pushing a fabrication that is 'outside' that actual Scripture.
But I would dispute your claim that Luke 21:20 is not about the AoD event. The words "abomination of desolation" is not used there, but what is there is representative of the same part of the conversation as that Matthew and Mark uses to describe the "abomination of desolation." Compare for yourself:
Dispute all you want, but the
"abomination of desolation" phrase is NOT in the Luke 21 chapter at all.
Now once you ADMIT... that
"abomination of desolation" phrase is NOT in Luke 21, then I'd be willing to continue this conversation.
Until then, you can keep the false Preterist doctrines that taught you to believe something 'outside' the actual written Bible Scripture, and that whether or not you want to recognize that what you are saying is a doctrine from men's Preterist theories. (And I believe the Historicists also have that theory about Luke 21. So wherever it originated, that's where they both got it.)
How Preterism Surmised To ADD The AOD Phrase Into Luke 21:
Look at the relevant Scripture...
Luke 21:20-22
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
The
"abomination of desolation" phrase that Jesus quoted from the Book of Daniel in the Matthew 24 and Mark 13 versions of His Olivet discourse is not written here in Luke 21. In both Matt.24 and Mark 12 versions, Jesus gave that above command that when they 'see' the
"abomination of desolation" in the
"holy place", for those in Judea to flee to the mountains.
Thus what some deceived soul in the seminaries did was wrongly ASSUME... that Jesus was also speaking of the
"abomination of desolation" event with that word "
desolation" in the above Luke 21:20 verse about the destruction by armies. That deceived person obviously lacks the ability of reading comprehension, and did not grasp the importance of catching how even different versions of an event written in God's Word can have varying amounts of information.
Think about it, those who just skim... over a topic in God's Word in a later Book may simply pass off a later version of the same topic, thinking they already know about it because they read about it before in an earlier Book of The Bible. That means they will MISS any pertinent information that The LORD gave in the later Book. Many brethren actually do this between The Gospel Books and Christ's Book of Revelation, and even skip later info in Revelation in favor of how Jesus revealed or didn't reveal it earlier in The Gospel.
An example is with the destruction of the "tares" in Matthew 13. In Jesus' explanation in Matthew 13, He didn't mention anything about His future reign of "a thousand years" that will happen first prior to the destruction of the "tares". So Preterists choose to believe what Jesus said in the Matthew 13 destruction, but not the Revelation 20 "thousand years" reign. "Ah, we'll just leave that "thousand years" reign period out of our theology, since Jesus failed to mention it back in Matthew 13," is how they actually think.
That is also their error in their thinking about this Luke 21:20-22 Scripture. Just because Jesus' warning for those in Judea to flee to the mountains is there, they automatically assume Jesus was pointing to the
"abomination of desolation" IDOL being setup in the holy place in Jerusalem, when that event is not what that "
desolation" by armies on the last day is about, which IS... there in Luke 21 verses 20 and 22.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
KJV
I mean, just how... can someone be so deceived to not recognize that Luke 21:22 event only happens on the very LAST DAY of this world?
