Hi Ladies,

This is a puzzling subject but I'll continue to add my thoughts here.

Daniel is a fascinating insight to prophecy. His accuracy in predicting the end times strikes me as pure and holy. This book strengthens my faith and gives me comfort in knowing that we're winners in Christ--all the way! But, we must stand close to Christ; there are so many diversions...

The truth of the 'abomination of desolation'is substantiated in Matthew:15, "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.)"

Holy place must be the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem? As far as I know, it has not been rebuilt. When the rebuilding takes place, the Beast (whoever that is?) will stand in it--thus we will know that the Beast, who he is and what he stands for--is at the door of prophecy.

This is only my speculation; will do more research on this as time permits....

Any comments or suggestions you have, is greatly appreciated.
