Catholic Word of the Day: ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, 04-17-10
CatholicReference.net ^ | 04-17-10 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

The omen of future calamity, predicted by the prophet Daniel and referred to by Christ (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15). Daniel seems to be foretelling the erection of a statue of Zeus in the Temple of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes (168 B.C.). Christ applied the prophecy to the siege of Jerusalem by the pagan enemies of Rome in A.D. 70. This was to be a sign for the Christians to flee Jerusalem.

Obama + Congress = Beast + false prophet

Temple of Zeus (Greek) = Temple of Jupiter (Roman)

The city on The Hill...

Capitol

“building where U.S. Congress meets,” 1793 (in writings of Thomas Jefferson), from L. Capitolium, ***temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill in ancient Rome***. Used earlier of Virginia state houses (1699). Its use in American public architecture deliberately evokes Roman republican imagery. With reference to the Roman citadel, it is recorded from late 14c. Relationship of Capitoline to capital is likely but not certain.

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inauguration_of_Barack_Obama

The *prophet* Daniel = Daniel as prophet, i.e. when he spoke prophecies. He did that when he spoke to the kings of Babylon.

holy place = a separated place, by extention a place consecrated/dedicated to a higher/lofty/sacred purpose (as opposed to a common/profane place, e.g. Wal-Mart or KFC).

Capitol Hill (and 1600 PA Ave.) is demon-infested, but we knew that.

Like Israel (i.e. Judah, the little country in the ME), America is not like and never will be like the other nations; she is the daughter of the freewoman, not the slave. When the Israelites came out of Egypt (out of the house of bondage), they were joined by the Erev Rav, the mixed multitude of strangers. Nothing new under the sun.

Pharaoh Obama signed Obondage Care on March 30th which was Passover. The freedom loving people protested en masse against this slavery and taxation but pharaoh mocked and asked where was this Armageddon. Cracks in the earth? Asteroids? Where were these things. God has answered clearly.

Obama/Reid/Pelosi are hellbent on crafting America into their own image and likeness. Darkness can not coexist with light. They are attempting to shut out all light and truth and justice. Ugly days lie ahead, before the dawn of a new day.

Beautifully stated, and so true. We are not like the other nations. If it hadn't been for God and the belief's that our forefathers had in Him, America would not exist today.

Re the city on the Hill...

“All who mourn the destruction of Jerusalem will merit the celebration of her rebirth.”

http://www.ou.org/yerushalayim/17betammuz/

Zechariah 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

America’s birthday - July 4th, 1776 - was the 17th of Tammuz.

Scripture provides the examples and the keys. And history teaches that Rome was taken down by barbarians. Muslims, Pelosi, Obama, Delauro, Snowe, Collins... ugly beasts, all. Greedy, barbarous, cruel...

You are off base and if you are not careful you will end up totally daft like Harold Camping. The Ant-Christ is coming from the revived Roman Empire. Not a symbolic one.

Yes you are off base. I think we are getting closer but Obama is help setting the table in the world for what is to come.

Are their any other significant days in our history, that link up like this one?

I know that the same year Columbus discovered America, the Jewish people were kicked out of Spain.

I know that during many of George Washington's battles, some of his victories were miracles. And I've heard that there were bullet holes in his jacket, yet he was never wounded and should have been killed.

You wouldn't happen to know of a book with this sort of info in it would you? I would like to know more and in more detail.

Not sure and don't know about books on the subject. Jamestown is an interesting study. There is a pattern though, of days and weeks counted from the Obamanation's inauguration that lead to various Jewish holidays. Enough to take notice and wonder what message is there (e.g. a pointing to Haman, and pharaoh..). They are on my FRpage.
