The Spirit compelled me ehehe......
Ezekiel 8:3
He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair and a Spirit lifted me up .............[Revelation 17:3]
Revelation 17:3
And He carries me away into a wilderness in Spirit,............................[Ezekiel 8:3]
Yep ehehe.Whoa! He was pulled by his hair?
Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificing a pig on the alter in the Temple in Macabbean times was an abomination of desolation.
The Roman soldiers under Titus in 70 AD carrying their standards into the Temple and destroying it was an abomination of desolation (and I think that was the one warned about in Olivet Discourse - and parallels Luke's 'when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies') .
But I don't know if Revelation records an abomination of desolation.
I hear there are no vacancies left at those ehehe
and Revelation 12, the Virtuous Woman (= true spiritual Israel remnant amongst whom the Messiah was born, amidst whom Jesus ministered, and from whom came the original Jewish Apostles & Disciples who started the Church) flees to the Wilderness for 1260 days ?
Cp. Christians fled to Pella during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD
Interesting. I love war strategy games.The military of the king of the north stationed in Jerusalem has fallen dead and Jerusalem has been taken by the beast.The two witnesses lay dead in the street.
How does the king of the north order his armed forces to respond?
Interesting. I love war strategy games.
I thought it would be wise to look up "king/s of the north and south:
Kings of the North is only shown in 4 verses.
"kings" AND "of" AND "north"occurs 17 times in 4 verses
Jeremiah 25:26
all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth.
Also the king of Sheshach[fn] shall drink after them.
Jeremiah 50:41
“Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
Ezekiel 26:7
“For thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar[fn] king of Babylon, king of kings,
with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.

"king" AND "of" AND "north" occurs 63 times in 12 verses phrase "kings of north" is used, it is used and astounding 8 times in Daniel all in chapter 11!
The 4 verses outside of Daniel again mentions the King of Babylon:
Jeremiah 25:
9 ‘behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says the LORD, ‘and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant............
26
all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of Sheshach[fn] shall drink after them.
Ezekiel 26:7
“For thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar[fn] king of Babylon,......
I will just mention the 1st and last verses for Daniel, as one can use a concordance to see the rest of them. Interesting

Daniel 11:6
“And at the end of some years they shall join forces, for the daughterof the king of the South shall go to the king of the North to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the power of her authority,[fn] and neither he nor his authority[fn] shall stand; but she shall be given up, with those who brought her, and with him who begot her, and with him who strengthened her in those times.

“At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.

Back in those days? Battering rams and catapults.....Daniel 11:31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.
So ,what would a king order his armed forces to use if he wanted to make Jerusalem or any other city desolate?
Back in those days? Battering rams and catapults.....
http://www.bible.ca/pre-destruction70AD-george-holford-1805AD.htm
As a consequence, the legions were able to build their redoubts almost without any trouble; soon, their catapults started to throw heavy stones into the city.
Under cover of this artillery fire, the Roman soldiers could start to bash the northern wall with their battering-rams..................
In executing the command of Titus, relative to the demolition of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers not only threw down the buildings, but even dug up their foundations, and so completely levelled the whole circuit of the city, that a stranger would scarcely have known that it had ever been inhabited by human beings....................
Revelation 6:6
And I hear a voice in midst of the four living-ones saying: "choinex of grain/wheat a denarius and three choinex of barleys a denarius, and the oil and the wine no you should be injuring". [John 11:48]
Revelation 16:21
And great Hail as a talent-weight is descending out of the Heaven upon the men.
And the men blaspheme the God out of the blow of the Hail, that great is the blow of it/her, tremendous.
Isn't if funny how "the end" was back then, but time goes on - even the church age continues!You think the time of the end was back in those days?
When exactly do believe the time of the end was?
given Roman imperial influence in the region at the time, worth noting Julius Caesar is famous for saying "divide and conquer" ?Mathew 12:25
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation<2048>, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand
Luke 11:17
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation<2048>, and a house divided against a house falls.
It appears the 10 horns/kings are gentile nations that desolate Jerusalem in 70ad.
Could be the Romans plus other Gentiles?
Revelation 17:16
“And the ten horns which you saw on[fn] the beast, these will hate the harlot,
make Her desolate<2048> and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Revelation 18:
17 ‘For in one hour such great riches came to nothing<2048>.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance
19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great City, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour She is made desolate<2048>.’
Then there is #g2048:
2048. eremos er'-ay-mos of uncertain affinity;
lonesome, i.e. (by implication) waste (usually as a noun, 5561 being implied):--
desert, desolate, solitary, wilderness.
Matthew 23:38
“See! Your house is left to you desolate<2048>;
Luke 13:35
“See! Your house is left to you desolate<2048>;
You can see the other 3 forms used in Revelation here:
"BEHOLD! YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YE DESOLATE/A WILDERNESS!"

Paul was good at that concerning the corrupt Judean rulers LOL....given Roman imperial influence in the region at the time, worth noting Julius Caesar is famous for saying "divide and conquer" ?

The chief priests and sadducees were cohorts and wanted to kill Lazarus:
John 12:10
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
Acts 23:
6 But perceiving that one group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the [fn]Council, “Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!”
7 As he said this, there occurred a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary
LUKE 16:
30 "And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.' "
Divide and rule - Wikipedia
Divide and rule (from Latin dīvide et imperā), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures, and especially prevents smaller power groups from linking up, causing rivalries and fomenting discord among the people. It was heavily used by British Empire in India and elsewhere.[1]
