What I do want to touch on is the "abomination" part. Here are a few questions I have.
God dwells in a house made without hands now. The stones were overturned. Why would God return to a temple made WITH hands and consider it Holy ground therefore what is done within that temple be an abomination to God?
Holy Ground IS established By God.
Abomination IS defiling what was established Holy unto God.
God established an Everlasting Throne IN Jerusalem, that is Gods Earthly Throne, and first seated king David to sit on that Throne as an earthly Servant to God.
Why turn the physical stones over and tear a physical house down and raise it again in three days, Spiritual?
Why? Temples were built to Honor God. The very Temples themselves were INFESTED with corrupt hypocrites, seated in honorable seats within the Temples, but with corrupt hearts.
Yes Jesus destroyed the Temple, leading the Way for ANY individual man; who HAD been allowed to enter the Temple (or not); who WAS under the authority of corrupt Temple leadership; TO HAVE A Direct relationship WITH the Lord, WITHOUT being subject TO the Corrupt authority of the Temple leadership.
Why would God consider anything done in a man-made structure against Him now that He tore down and crucified the flesh. Why would He call it an abomination, a sacrifice in a house without His anointing or blessing?
Man made Structures specifically BUILT in Honor and Glory of God; Have always been Honor God has accepted from a mans effort.
God established the building of Temples as a place for men TO Honor God.
It is WHEN, men dishonor God, within such Structure; the Abomination is revealed.
Such man-made Structures are NOT Gods Abode. God Abides IN Individual men, and shall be within Individual men, wherever such men gather.
I get the verses about, he will be taken out of the way before that wickedness be revealed...but can someone explain to me why God would then return to a temple made with hands and fill it, making it Holy once again?
Men build Structures TO the Honor of the Lord. Men WHO gather in such structures, WHO Honor the Lord, the Lord is WITHIN such men.
Again ~ it is ALWAYS men WHO DO NOT Honor God, Yet enter such Structures, That bring Abominination INTO THE STRUCTURE.
The Temple Jesus destroyed -
Allowed in, Jewish men who believed in the Jewish God, to Worship God.
The Problem was: The Leaders, ie the Teachers of Godly things, WERE the culprits, NOT giving due Honor to God.
Thus the Physical Temple destroyed...and the Lord Himself, making WAY, for ANY man desiring for a relationship WITH the Lord, was not LEFT OUT, merely because He was NOT ALLOWED into the Temple.
Mark 13:14
[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:
Men in Jesus' day; got to SEE a foreshadow.
The destruction of the Temple, BY the power of God. The Revelation IS; No building, Temple, Church, or otherwise, SHALL be left Standing WHEN the Lord "restores" the Earth.
Last question: the remnant, would they not return to be drawn to Christ?
In the last days, ANOTHER Temple shall be built, unto the Lord, For holy praise and worship unto the Jewish God and His Word, BY Jews, who yearn for a Jewish Temple on holy ground; ie Jerusalem.
In the last days, ALSO THAT Temple SHALL BE overtaken by a False Prophet, and a FALSE god, DECLARING their rule is Supreme.
Jews are already Warned to FLEE away from this Teaching and the Abomination that has Infected and Overcome their Temple.
Not a man made structure or a physical Israel...but rather gathered to the Spiritual Israel?
It is during the FLEEING, for those that DO flee; God Again, has Prepared for them to Hear the Truth, OUTSIDE of the Temple that has become an Abomination.
Remember Jesus Attended Temple, and revealed the Temple Scrolls were Written ABOUT HIM. And He has come to FULFILL what was WRITTEN ABOUT HIM.
Then Remember WHERE Jesus TAUGHT HIS Doctrine, His TRUTHS and revealed His miracle works.....
OUTSIDE of the Temple!
OUTSIDE of the Abomination within the Temple!
Men Fleeing to the Mountains, OUTSIDE of the Abomination within the Temple....
Shall also be Told the Truth.
There is already an Appointed angel to speak to the World.
There is already an Appointed 144,000 men to speak to the Jews.
John 12:32
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Jesus was already Lifted up From the Earth.
All men SHALL bow down to Jesus in Belief.
However NOT all men SHALL be Saved.
Saving of a mans soul occurs DURING a mans natural life-time.
A mans natural life-time is when a man HAS his life IN his body.
A mans life IN his body, IS his BLOOD.
Some men elect to Believe, (and Believe) WHILE having their Life (blood), in their body, and they become Forgiven, Saved, and Born Again,
Forever WITH the Lord.
Some men shall elect to Believe, (and believe) After their Life (blood), in their body, no longer exists in their body, and they shall become destroyed, Forever WITHOUT the Lord.
God Bless,
