Dan. 8:13 mentions the transgression of desolation (or horror). Yes, Jesus spoke about it, that it would be standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:16, Dan. 9:27, 11:31)
No, Jesus did not say
transgression of desolation.
Jesus said Abomination of Desolation.
That's what I am trying to show you. In Daniel 8:13 is the transgression of desolation - which is different from abomination of desolation.
You mistake the unique thing that is the abomination of desolation, picking the one usage that uses the word "transgression" and lump it in with general and historic Jewish sinfulness. This event that Jesus and Daniel spoke of was not just another transgression; it is the ultimate hubris of Man on display, usurping the place of God.
I don't know what you are saying. But transgression is an act. A person doing something.
Differently, the abomination of desolation "setup" is a thing. Some object "setup".
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
Isaiah 14:13-14 KJV
Rest assured, the Antichrist is not interested in being king of Israel.
Numemerian, you are making a mistake in terminology and function calling the person the Antichrist, for that verse. When the person finds himself in hell in Isaiah 14, he is no longer the Antichrist.
At that stage, he is the slain man of sin, no longed the King of Israel, the Antichrist.
He finds himself in hell because he transgressed the covenant, by going into the temple "sitting" claiming to be God - and in Ezekiel 28:1-10, God has him killed for the act. And the Jews will have rejected him as continuing as their King.
You need to understand for the time
that he is the Antichrist - It is because he has been anointed the King of Israel. He is only going to be in the position of the Antichrist for 3 years 3 months, thereabouts.
The Antichrist - combines the word Christ (anointed) with the prefix "Anti". Combined together as the Antichrist they mean the King of Israel, instead of and against.... Jesus, the rightful King of Israel. Here is bible explaining bible...
Mark 14:32 Let
Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Even the unrepentent thief on the cross next to Jesus knew what "Christ" meant. Christ, an transliteration of the Greek word, refers to messiah, which in turn at it's origin means "anointed". The Kings and priests of Israel were all "anointeds". When the bible says "the" Christ or "the" messiah, it is talking about the one special King of Israel to lead Israel and the Jews into the messianic era.
As for Temple Mount, it has to be in the hands of the Jews prior to the Antichrist's invasion at the 3 1/2 (middle of the week) invasion. Jesus said, "when you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place..". Obviously, Israel had to be in possession, or at very least be granted unprecedented access, to the Temple Mount for there to be a holy place built PRIOR TO the outbreak of any war. Things are not dependent on some Gog and Magog war to set the board for Antichrist. He already has set the board with his false treaty which has allowed Israel to build.
No, there doesn't have to a (peace) treaty of any kind, only the removal of the obstruction of the muslim presence on the temple mount, for a temple to be built. The muslims are not going to allow the Jews to rebuild a temple on the temple mount - when the muslims won't even allow the Jews to pray there.
The Gog/Magog war will eliminate the muslim presence on the temple mount.... which will make it possible for the person who becomes the Antichrist to oversee the reading of the Mt. Sinai covenant to the nation of Israel. That's the confirmation of the covenant. And for a temporary downsized temple to be built in a short time.
Following Gog/Magog is the burning of the remains of the war implements for a 7 year periiod, instead of wood (assuming for heat and cooking)
If Gog/Magog were in the middle of the 7 year last week of Daniel 9 - then 3 1/2 of those years would be into the messianic era - which conflicts with Jesus restoring all things caused by the destruction on the earth that takes place during the great tribulation. It is not going to take Jesus 3 1/2 years to remove the war implements following Armageddon and cleanup of Israel.
As for Deut. 31:9-13, it is not talking exclusively about the responsibility of the leader alone, but also priests. And it was not about confirming the Mosaic covenant every 7 years, but about reading the law to the people at the Feast of Booths.
Do you know what Deuteronomy is? It is for that second generation of Israel, as the first generation died off, and Moses
had to go over the terms of the Mt. Sinai covenant with them, as they were about to enter the promised land. The reading of the law every 7 years for all future generations is so that they would never forget. The law is the agreement that God made with the Children of Israel, that they would be His people and He their God, and that the land of Israel is theirs forever. The reading of that law, the covenant, to the nation of Israel is confirming that covenant - on a 7 year cycle.
That the law, the Mt Sinai covenant, has to be read on the feast of tabernacles every 7 years - should tell you something. That the 7 years starts in the fall, and the events surrounding Jesus's Second coming coincide with the fall feasts. The events of Jesus's First Coming coincided with the spring feasts. Which means Gog/Magog will likely happen in early fall, some year.
Yes, the high priest is involved - who do you think the false prophet is in Revelation 13 - who has two horns
like a lamb ? Who is the lamb of God ? Jesus. Jesus is
our high priest in heaven, is what the bible says. What it is telling you by saying the second beast has two little horns like a lamb is that the false prophet will also be the high priest. He will also probably claim to be Elijah. He will be the one who anoints the person as the King of Israel at the start of the seven years.
