The prophecy says 1290 years after sacrifices cease, the Abomination of Desolation would be built. The Temple instruments were taken to Babylon in 597 AD (causing sacrifices to cease). The instrument were returned approximately 70 years later, when Judah returned, after the Persian Empire conquered the Babylonians. 1290 years later the Dome of the rock was built on the Temple Mount.
The Bible also refers to the Abomination of Desolation as an “it”, not a person.
The whole world is intent upon the return of the Temple Mount to the Muslims. Arab Muslims have tried to wipe Israel out four times (1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973). They still call for its destruction, and claim Palestine (a country that never existed) is made up of Jordan, the West Bank, and Israel.
The battle for Jerusalem is yet to be fought. The purpose of that attack will be to destroy Israel, and take the Temple Mount back. The description of the massive battle, worldwide earthquake, and destruction really does sound like “Desolation”. All brought about by the struggle for the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. That structure that proclaims that Yaweh is not God, that Allah is greater, and that Yeshua is not Yaweh’s Son.
Funny how none of this could have happened in previous centuries. Israel didn't exist, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem were not in their hands, and the Muslim Empire was in decline, after the discovery of the Western Hemisphere.
Islam claims any and all territory once conquered in the name of Allah is part of the “World of Peace” and belongs eternally to Islam, all other areas are part of the “World of War” and are to be conquered. This also includes large sections of Eastern Europe, Greece, Spain, and even the Vatican. The reason that the Vatican has a wall around it was that it was taken by Muslims and sacked.
Israel is considered an insult to Islam. They refer to the West as Crusaders, and consider Israel as colony of the West.
The inscription inside the Dome of the Rock states that God cannot have a son. The Muslims demonstrated their domination by building the Dome of the Rock, or turning a building that was there into a mosque (historians disagree). This act was specifically to enforce the claim that “Allah is greater”. The statement itself is an admission that others worship Yaweh.
One significant point is that the rock area that is covered by the Dome of the Rock is uneven and rocky.
The Holy of Holies was built on a threshing floor. You could never thresh grain on the area inside the Dome of the Rock. Many believe the site of the Holy of Holies is under the Dome of the Tablets. That would place the Dome of the Rock outside of the Temple proper and in the Court of the Gentiles. When standing of the Mount of Olives and looking westward beyond the area identified as the Eastern Gate, the Dome of the Tablets is seen, not the Dome of the Rock.
The presence of the building shows its domination of Judaism, and the inscription seeks to negate the primary tenant of Christianity that Yeshua is the Son of God.
Very interesting- I will have to study more to learn more...
Thanks for the insight. Certainly the inscription on the DOR is an offense and an obomination to the Lord God Almighty, who per the NT gave all authority to Jesus....
