Featured Rapture Top Dogs Admit no Proof Exists

Antiochus Epiphanes was not mentioned by Jesus. Jesus says when you see, which is not a past tense. Antiochus Epiphanes was a Greek, not a Roman. The abomination of desolation will occur in the third temple, which has not been built yet.

 

Oh, come on. Solomon built the first temple, right? A second temple was built after the return from Babylon, right. That one was destroyed by Rome in 70 AD. A new third one will be built because we know that the anti-Christ will defile it, because Jesus said when you see that, right?

 

Of course it will. Already there are animal sacrifices among fringe groups all over the world. Santeria in Florida and Haiti and elsewhere probably, some sects of Islam, and some sects of Hinduism.

 

It is a difficult position to hold to a literal interpretation of scripture (as the apostles and Jesus do- conceal a thing) while declaring that Titus destroying Jerusalem was worse than Nagasaki or Hiroshima or WW2. I think you non-literalists need to come to grips with Israel's re-emergence and all the nations round about it seeking its destruction (Zech 12, 14, Joel 3). All the nations of the earth have not been burdened yet with Jerusalem but we are getting there before your eyes. The Lord did not defend Israel in 70AD (Zech.12:4-9), neither did the sun darken and the moon turn to blood with the stars falling from heaven (Rev6:12-17, Isa.13:9-13). But he will return and every eye shall see him when he comes in the clouds (Zech.12:10, Rev.1:7) Israel shall be saved (Rom.11:26). Just believe what the Book says.
