It's. Official, No one can. Tell. What is real anymore? Take a look at this. Here is Michael Jackson and here is 2 Pack and here is Whitney Houston. But here's the catch. All of these performances are holograms. However, if you thought that was unreal, fix your eyes on this Carolina Panther and then these. Robots who are. Also apparently partial. To American. Football Mark. Zuckerberg predicts that. Holograms will no longer support prizes, but soon they will be part of everyday life.
Now in the future, I think not too far from now, you're going to walk into a room and they're going to be, you know, as many holograms of digital things for you to interact with as there are physical objects. Now think about going and hanging out with your friends. Pretty soon, I think we're going to be at a point where you're going to be there physically with some of your friends, and others will be there digitally as avatars, holograms, and they'll feel just as present as
everyone else. But is anyone else feeling hesitant about about all of these technological advancements? Because here's the thing, When I saw the $2 billion sphere in Las Vegas and Neons plans to build an immersive cube called the Macabre in Saudi Arabia, I couldn't help but think of something potentially very similar predicted in the Bible. Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the Holy. Place whoever reads.
Let him understand now guys, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that the Abomination of Desolation will be a hologram because it could present itself as a whole host of other things. And I want to cover some of these things later in the video and also in a future video. I think it's about time I talked about the Rapture, don't you?
So if you want to hear the different points of view, all to do with the Rapture, make sure you subscribe and I'll get that video out to. You very soon. But right now it is important to know whether we're all on the same page. So here's the answer you all want to know. What is the Abomination of Desolation and has it already happened? Well, you probably already know what the word abomination means.
For instance, when someone says that was an abomination, they usually mean this was something morally objectionable or something impure. But did you know in the Hebrew, one of the main translations of the word abomination means idol? So if we add that to desolation, to be desolate, to be empty, we can see that the abomination of desolation is going to be an idol or something which is going to cause the temple to be spiritually desolate. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a
second. Who said anything about the temple or the prophet Daniel did the one who Jesus told us to remember his words. So what did Daniel say? The Bible says, And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress. Then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. So let's ask. The obvious question here has the abomination of desolation already happened?
Well some of you will disagree with me, but the answer is yes and also a resounding no. Now everybody listen because this is going to blow your mind. The prophet Daniel predicted 2 abominations in the temple, one that has already come to pass and 1:00 that we are expecting. So I don't know about you but I'm curious to know what is the first abomination of desolation
that has already happened? Well, many believe that Daniel 11 prophecy was fulfilled on the 14th of December 168 BC when the Assyrian king Attiakus Epiphanes did unprecedented actions within the temple. The clue is in the name. Epiphanes literally means the Shining One, which was also one of the nicknames for Zeus of Olympia, the God of the the sky, mountains and heavens. Are you imagining this right now? This king Attiacus Epiphanes, in other words, is proclaiming that he was a God.
He was Zeus Incarnate. Now I wonder how many of you remember my Conor McGregor video, but we talked about Jesus being taken to the highest point of the Holy Land. Where was this? It was the temple. So it makes sense that if a Tiger's Epiphanes thought he was the God of the heavens, that he would choose to create a spectacle of himself at one of the highest points, which was inside the temple. Are you listening right now? Because on that day in December 160 BC, Epiphanes and his Syrian
men marched into the city. And I want you to read between the lines now. Because they went into the homes of the people and whatever their eye pleased, they did. And they also barged into the temple and took something to the altar that was very unclean to God's people, a pig. They then got the high priests to consume the pig.
And this was an abomination that left the people desolate as suddenly their customs, their practices, all of it was stopped and they lost control of their land to Antiochus and his empire. So come on guys, talk to me. Do you think that this was the only abomination of desolation? Well, many do, but I actually would beg to differ because just as Jesus said. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to the nations, and then the end will come.
In other words, when the final abomination happens in the temple, when the gospel has gone out to the whole world, that will be a sign that we have entered into the. Cumulation of Earth's. History, if I can put it like that. In other words, we're in the. Last, Last. Days but guys listen to me. When we study Daniel, we actually find a more detailed description of this second abomination of desolation.
For instance, in Daniel Chapter 9 verse 27, it says then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice an offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate friends. Does that make sense? The abomination of desolation will happen in the middle of the week. And how many days are there in a week? There are 7. So what would be exactly the pinnacle exactly? The middle of the week, 3 1/2
days. And that is why I often echo what many Bible teachers, what many theologians believe, that the Tribulation will be seven years. The first part is when the Antichrist will emerge onto the world stage. And this individual will be charismatic. He'll be popular, captivating. He will provide solutions that we have never seen before, and he will do the impossible. He will bring peace to the Middle East, but then in the middle of that week, in the middle of the 3 1/2 years, he will.
Subdue the two. Witnesses and remove them from the scene. But I can hear exactly what you're saying. You're saying Joe, where'd you get 3 1/2 years from? I thought you said 3 1/2 days. Well listen to this, the Bible says, and I will give power to my two witnesses and they will prophecy 1260 days clothed in sackcloth. So take this into your mind and stop me if I get something wrong.
At the beginning of the tribulation, when the Antichrist arrives on the scene, the two witnesses will begin their testimony for 1260 days, which is where we get 3 1/2 years from because there are 360 days in a prophetic year and each month has 30 days, so 1260 is exactly 3 1/2 years. We also see this exact same number of days in Revelation 12, verse 6. This is where the woman will go into hiding when the Antichrist reveals his true colours after
the abomination of desolation. And this woman, which by the way, represents the children of Jacob, the children of Abraham, the children of Isaac, who are still here today, who the whole world is still watching to this day, they will all hide in the wilderness for how long? You guessed it, 1260 days. So let's go back to the temple guys, because after 3 1/2 years, in the middle of the tribulation, the Antichrist will take out. The two witnesses.
And this will boost his confidence, shall we say, because these two guys, they were previously seen as unstoppable. Anyone who messed with them, fire would come down from heaven and remove them. So once these two are out of the way, suddenly this man will be emboldened into entering the temple. And it will be there that he will set up his abomination.
The Bible says he will oppose, and he will exalt himself over everything that is called God or his worships, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. OK, but just don't forget this. It will actually be the false prophet, the Antichrist's right hand man. He will be the one who sets up the abomination in the temple on behalf of the Antichrist. Again, the scripture says he was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast.
That the image of the beast should speak. So between you and me now, do you see why I. Believe it. Could be some kind of hologram, maybe even using AI. Technology. As it says, he will be given power to give breath to the image of the beast. In other words, it will appear like this image is alive. Or maybe it will. Actually be alive. But of course no one knows and I'm just speculating because other people, they've made their own speculations. Some have suggested it could be
some kind of robots. Some say it might. Even be a ghost and again others still say no this has already. Been. Fulfilled by Emperor Caligula, who sets up an idol, a Roman idol of himself. And others. Again, say yes, it's been fulfilled already. The temple was to destroyed in 70 AD. This was the abomination of desolation. Now I hold my. Hands up and say I could be totally wrong about this, but personally I don't think it's already been. Fulfilled, I think. That this will be an idol.
And I believe the whole. World will worship this idol in the temple just like the abomination we saw in Jesus Christ Day when Jesus Christ was overcome with righteous anger all those years ago. We read about it in the Gospels, where there were men. Buying and. Selling in the temple and Christ turned the tables over. Well, I think the Antichrist will also do something very similar. He will. Create a monetary system with his. Image and anyone who wants to live.
Anyone. Who wants to thrive in this coming world will have to use his currency and they will have to worship the image that has been set up by. Him. And the false prophets in the temple. Now. What I'm going to say next is quite important, so just get ready to change gears as you can. Probably I am what is called a futurist. I. Believe in Bible prophecy. I believe there will be a literal.
Abomination of Desolation. But that doesn't change the fact that the Bible also says, or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? So can I ask you a very personal question? What's the abomination in your heart? What is the idol, the unclean thing that lives in your heart and causes a desolation, a separation from you and God? Because you do know that our sin separates us from a holy God.
Perhaps this question has caught you off guard. Well, I'm going to ask you to do something. I'm going to ask you to repent, to turn from that abominable thing, whatever it is, and let the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanse your temple again, because Jesus was pinned to that cross. For every abominable act you've ever done, every unclean thought, every sinful thing you have ever done was laid at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And when He was nailed to that cross, all of that rottenness, it was put at His feet and He picked it all up. He picked up all of our sin and allowed it to be transferred into His own account. And He paid the price that you and I could never pay. He paid the price with His very blood. Do you understand that?
That when Jesus went to the cross, when He rose from the dead, when He did the impossible, it wasn't just a story to grip us. It wasn't just some tale that we would tell from generation to generation, but it was an act. Of love for me and for you. Because we need cleansing. You need to be washed. I need to be washed. You need to be forgiven, I need to be forgiven, and only Jesus Christ can do that for us. But friends, can I tell you something else very beautiful? The work.
Of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago was a work of costly sacrifice where he became the substitute for our sin. But you know what the work of Jesus Christ is today? When I'm filming this video, it's 2024. What is his work today? It's a work of collecting sinners because not only do you have a temple, which is your body that needs to be cleansed from all abominations, but the Bible also says, do you not know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
In other words, there is one big temple made from tiny little bricks and those bricks and. Me and you. You see, we're held together by 1 chief cornerstone, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the cement, he is the glue that binds us all together into one giant big temple. So here is the most important part of this entire video. Are you one of those little bricks? Please just let me know right now. Are you one of those little bricks? Have you come to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation?
And now you are part of his beautiful temple made-up of. All different. Backgrounds. All different people groups. All different ages, all different jobs, all different kinds of people from all around the world. Are you in Jesus Christ's temple? Because did you know today you can become one of those little bricks. Today you can become part of this temple is all you have to do is believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall
be saved. I hope one day I will see you in heaven because one day it says in the Bible, we as the temple, the Lord God, the Lord of hosts, will Tabernacle himself amongst us for all of eternity and it's going to be great. It's going to be great to be with the Lord for all of eternity and worship Him in spirit and truth. But hey now. I wonder if. As I was talking about the two witnesses, I wonder if anyone was asking the question who are these two guys?
Well in this video I will actually give you 2 names, which isn't the most mainstream view that you will hear from other preachers. So if you would like to find out who these guys are, click this video right now. And if you haven't yet subscribed, I would be so honoured to see you again in our next video.
