Genocide in Judea

[MK202002]

Matthew 24:3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

.....................15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel

[Adarian]

The Antichrist will not consider any of the god's. He will worship a god of forces, Islam will either fall in line with him or face destruction. Hamas is not relevant. when he walks into the temple, sets up his abomination, and brings on the mark of the beast, the islamics will worship or die. Trouble is, they have no hope of salvation.

Daniel 11: 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

From this passage I also suspect that he will be gay.

I wondered about this very thing myself. Not sure though. It could also mean he won't be interested in intimate relationships of any kind.

There is a theological "law" when interepreting Bible prophecy that may apply here; The Law of Duel Fulfillment, which says a prophecy may in fact a a "double" fulfillment, one near at hand and one far into the future. Matthew 24, at least part of it, was fulfilled in 70 AD, but clearly there was a lot more that went unfulfilled, even to today. The classic example of the "law" is Isaiah 7:14, which found it's immediate fulfullment in Isaiah 8:3, but uiltimately it was fulfilled in Christ.

There are dual fulfillment prophecies, but I don't believe this is one. Often times, dual prophecies will be like history repeating itself. Then it could look like a single prophecy, yet part of it fulfilled at a later time.

In Matthew 24:3, however, I believe Jesus was simply trying to answer the disciples multi-facetted question. Jesus was telling them how the temple would someday be destroyed, but when they asked Him about it, they were asking far more than just the temple being destroyed. Take a look:

Matthew 24:3

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Of course, there was no short answer to this question, but it appears that the disciples at that time, assumed that when the temple was destroyed, Christ would return for them before the end of the world. They really didn't know what they were asking. By this time, Jesus must have already promised them that He was going away to prepare a place for them, and would come again to take them to be with Him in His Fathers house of many mansions. And Jesus didn't want to give away the mystery that He wasn't going to be returning for another 2000 years. They had no idea that most of them would become martyrs before He would return.

in the mountains, there are what we might have called cliff dwellings, there are caves of sort, and in those caves....

these caves/dwellings will and can provide shelter for Israel, as well as an almost perfect fortress of only one way in and one way out.... very easy to provide defense for.......

Israel, has tons of food stored up... tons...... stuff that can last for a very long time... this food is well hidden.... and accessible to Israel should she need it....

Israel, will not be totally destroyed ( the people ) as much as islam would like it, it just wont happen.. it can not happen, and is not possible what so ever...... not in the slightest can it be done.....

why do I say this?

cause it has already been written that it will not happen.....no Genocide in Judea......

by genocide I did not mean the entire wiping out of Israel.
