The Last-Days Abomination of Desolation

For this to make sense, you have to first account for assumptions going into this article. The main assumption that will bring cognitive dissonance to different categories of readers who aren’t members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the fact that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consider themselves part of the covenants pertaining to Israel, and that the prophecies pertaining to the last days also apply to them and to The United States of America as well as to the Jews and the state of Israel. Members of the church will have to remember that this prophecy has at least dual fulfillment, with the Lord Yeshua Himself declaring a latter-day fulfillment. Note that if a people are Israel, they receive prophetic fulfillments pertaining to Israel, positive and negative. They can’t have it any which way they want it, with all the positives applying to them and any negatives applying only to past Israel or to some other present-day people. Another point is that it isn’t necessarily required that the abomination of desolation happen exactly like the first time. I like to say that dual-fulfillment prophecies don’t match exactly, they rhyme. There are particulars that match, but there are particulars that do not. That is another assumption you need going into this article.

DANIEL 12
Daniel 12:11-12: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”

The “daily sacrifice” pertains to the ordinances of the temple. In the old temple, there was an animal sacrifice. In the temples of the church, covenants of sacrifice are made.

Every Church of Jesus Christ temple closed on 3/25/2020 (daily Sacrifice taken away). 3/25/2020 was also the last day of the year on the biblical Hebrew calendar. That’s the beginning of the count. 1290 days later is 10/6/2023, the last day of Feast of Tabernacles. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is one of the three biblically mandated pilgrimage festivals on which Jews were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. 1335 days after 3/25/2020 is 11/20/2023. And then the next eclipse is on Monday, April 8, 2024.

Is this THE fulfillment of the abomination of desolation, or is it just a really, really good type and shadow? I’ll leave that to you and God, but I personally am treating it as a serious wake-up call and to pay extra-strict attention to Jesus’ words in Matthew 24.

15-28:
So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

In other words, if this is THE fulfillment, we stand at the threshold of the great tribulations of the last days. In the days, weeks, and months to come, we would expect great calamities that dwarf those of the last 7 years. The Lord admonishes the reader of Matthew 24 to flee into the mountains when they see the abomination of desolation fulfilled because great tribulations are on the way. The book of Revelation goes into more detail about what to expect during the tribulation period. It isn’t pretty. But great news is found in the next section of Matthew 24:

29-51:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

  1. Just checking in from my previous comment, still watching praying. Many prophetic visions coming through and I’m feeling severely agitated with the abominations of the world. Beautiful moment, my 7 year old got baptized on the 19th, so happy. Just know you are not alone in your journey, I had the same dates written down. My next date is December 26th. I’m preparing my entire being for a major event that will be the catalyst for our preparation, God has shown me I will be on the run, never with my children, so maybe He will take the widows, children and severely poor, not sure, but I have prepared myself for either or. I’m doing my best to endure, and to stay faithful. God bless you wherever you go and wherever you are, He makes will always give us a way of escape. Much love

    UPDATE 9/1/2021: It occurred to me today that I may have been wrongly interpreting when the abomination of desolation (AoD) is set up. I had understood it to mean that the AoD wouldn’t be set up until AFTER the 1290 days instead of at the beginning. I just spent some time looking at a bunch of different translations, and I can see a case for either.

    With the beginning of the 1290 in mind, consider this. The body is a temple. The COVID vaccine trials began mid March, 2020, about 9 days before the taking away of the daily sacrifice. Is the COVID vaccine the abomination of desolation this time around? Is it a desecrating and desolating object? Both came about because of a “desolating” illness, one that caused the worst economic crash we’ve ever seen, and one that keeps coming in waves with countries still working for more and more power over their people with each wave.

    COVID Vaccine phase 1 trials began around March 16, 2020. The temples all closed on March 25, just 9 days later.

    MORE NOTES ABOUT THE DANIEL 9 AND 12 CONNECTION:
    Daniel 9 and 12 speaks of 70 weeks, the daily sacrifice being taken away, abomination of desolation set up, etc.

    I believe that Daniel 9’s prophecy may be a type and shadow of the events of Daniel 12, with the tie-in being verses 11-12 in chapter 12, quoted above.

    It’s like Isaiah, how there are dual (at least dual) fulfillments, with Daniel 9 being fulfilled multiple times, but in ways that “rhyme” instead of exact, similar to how “Egypt” of Isaiah may refer to Egypt of old but also to another nation of the present time. In such instances, you can find “parallels” but not an exact match throughout the prophecy.

    A parallel is coming strongly into my heart and mind. It first came to me when the church closed the temples in March, 2020. Follow this thinking.

    Here’s the scripture from Daniel 9:
    “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the wrongdoing, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be 69 weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. Then after the 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the many for 1 week [7 days], but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

    Here is my “rhyme parallel” rewrite:
    Seventy years (69 years and the last year being a week of years) have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the wrongdoing, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. So you are to know and discern that from the time Israel again becomes a state in 1948 and Israel’s Jews again become a recognized people in their land (which comes in a time of distress) until a latter-day servant of God begins his ministry to usher in the millennial reign, there will be 69 years (which is when the eclipse happened). 62 years after 1948, this servant will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the wicked prince who is to come will defile the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the many for 7 years (bookended by the 2017 and 2024 eclipses), but in the middle of the 7 years he will put a stop to temple service and regular worship; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

    This prophecy fits in perfectly with Isaiah, Revelations, and Ezra’s Eagle’s timing and with what he says happens to the next leaders of the Eagle kingdom.

    69 years after 1948, in 2017, came three well-known and oft-discussed signs in the heavens. God uses the sun, moon, and stars for signs. August 21, 2017 was the Total Solar Eclipse sign. September 23, 2017 was a sign in the stars. October 19, 2017 was the first time an interstellar object had been discovered (with the second happening two years later). Will we get a third interstellar discovery before 2024?

    A second Total Solar Eclipse happens in April, 2024, the 7th year after the other eclipse, bookending the 7 years.

    Talking specifically about our time, here’s what Daniel 12 says:
    “These words will be kept secret and sealed up until the end time. Many will be purged, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. And from the time that the regular sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who is patient and attains to the 1,335 days!”

    Okay, so what happened in the middle of the week (7 years…see the parallel from Daniel 9)? On March 12, 2020 the church suspended all public gatherings worldwide, which included Sunday meetings and mid-week meetings. On March 18, 2020 a 5.7 earthquake struck Salt Lake City that caused the Salt Lake City’s temple statue to drop its trumpet, making it look like he was looking at a wristwatch. I believe with all my heart that was a sign. Then, 7 days later on March 25, 2020, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints closed all temples in the world specifically stating the motive was a desire to be responsible “global citizens,” meaning it was directly influenced by the global citizen initiative. Many other churches around the world closed at the same time.

    Family, friends, this is not a coincidence.

    When I was researching the eclipses, I knew by the power of the Holy Ghost they were significant. I felt compelled by the church’s culture to equivocate my findings and beliefs, and I feel ashamed of doing so. Nevertheless, I did state my firm belief that they were significant. Since August 2017, firsts and worsts have escalated intensely, accelerating even faster when 2020 came around (see here). I haven’t written down all of the enormous events that have happened since 2017 there. I’ve only covered a fraction.

    This isn’t the time to just try. It’s the time to convert “trying” into “doing.” We have to stop being triers and start being doers of the word and not hearers only. If we will not, we will not be prepared.
