A layman’s commentary on Matthew 24 verse 15. The Abomination of Desolations.


 The NASB entitles this next section, The Abomination of Desolation. As a standalone statement, this makes no sense to me, and thus, we begin a deep dive into Matthew 24:15 and beyond. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of … Continue reading
