Peace in Christ.
The Son is the brightness of His glory.
Heb 1:2-3 KJV
(2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
(3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
But notice this much overlooked detail at the beginning of the Olivet discourse in Matthew 24: Jesus WENT OUT and DEPARTED from the temple. The glory of God departed from the temple. The “temple” being spoken about by Jesus is the “temple of His body.” John 2:21 .
The “buildings” of the temple are the structures …the architecture of it.
“buildings”= Greek : Oikodomeo (οἰκοδομέω) is a Greek verb meaning to build a house, but metaphorically it means to edify, build up, or strengthen people, faith, or the church.
What is every man-based church “built” or structured upon? Is it not their handwritings of ordinances (statements of faith, church constitutions, church by-laws, church covenants, creeds, etc, etc, etc)? Every man-based church is built upon some man's handwriting. God did not build it.
But these things (man's handwritings that every man-based church is structured upon) are abominations that cause desolation. God’s glory departs from these gatherings of “organized religion” …built/structured upon a man’s handwriting.
Mat 24:1-2 KJV
(1) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings (structure, architecture) of the temple.
See you not all these things? The buildings of the man-based churches have at the core of them man's handwritings which "structures" their churches. But these things cause desolation among us. His glory departs from them.
This departing of His glory desolates the temple because of the “abomination” that causes this desolation: There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
(2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
A man’s handwriting found in our church gatherings (where it should not be found) is causing this desolation. When we shall "see"...that is, understand what it truly is, we are to immediately flee from it. We are to leave the man-based (structured, organized on a man's handwriting) leaving it all behind and never look back.
We are the temple of His body and we are not being truly built up but scattered because of our many handwritings that divide us into “denominations”. Not one stone is left upon another. There is no cohesion among us because of these abominations found in our church gatherings. We are supposed to be His living stones built up in Christ. 1st Peter 2:4-5 .
This verse 15 is immediately linked to verses 1 and 2.
Mat 24:
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
(17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
(18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
When many read verse Matthew 24:15 about Daniel the prophet, they immediately go to verses in Daniel: Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:31, and Daniel 12:11. But these verses do not show us what the abomination is.
Jesus gives us a big hint about what the abomination that is causing the desolation: “whoso reads, let him understand." This is found in Daniel 5. Daniel could “READ the writing” on the wall and UNDERSTAND it. He did make KNOWN to the king the interpretation of it.
Dan 5:16-17 KJV
(16) And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
(17) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
The other king’s wise men could NOT READ the writing nor could they understand it so that they could not give the king the interpretation of it.
Dan 5:8 KJV
(8) Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
God points to us what the abomination is. It is a “meme”(if you will) of man’s handwriting of decrees found in their church gatherings. The writing of a man’s hand was on the wall of the “palace”…that is, the temple. It was written against the candlestick…against the knowledge of God.
Dan 5:5 KJV
(5) In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
