Standing in the Holy Place: The Abomination of Desolation

This is an examination of Daniel's Abomination of Desolation, or what most know as "The Mark of The Beast."

Standing in the Holy Place: Examining Daniel’s Abomination of Desolation

Biblical and Scientific Evidence of the Abomination

Perhaps the most overlooked part of the conversation regarding the mark of the beast is the Abomination of Desolation, mentioned first biblically in Daniel 12. How is it possible, I wonder at this point in history, that when I hear preachers around the world speaking of the mark of the beast, they never mention this essential message in the Bible - in the Old Testament - showing us the parallelism and perfection of God’s Word and message.

How is it possible I have so rarely heard this term spoken of by pastors and preachers at all before 2020? Very few are speaking of it, but in order to understand the mark of the beast, we must first understand the abomination of desolation.

In Matthew 24, Jesus later mentions the “abomination spoken of by Daniel” in regards to the signs of the end times. We will get back to this verse at the end of this writing, but first we have to ask - what is this abomination spoken of by Daniel in the first place? How can we understand what Jesus is talking about if we don’t first understand what Daniel is speaking of?

It does say, in Daniel 12:9, that these words would be sealed until the end of times, which I believe means that most reading it could not possibly understand it until the time had come. So, for Daniel and most reading from that point on, it was all shrouded in mystery, even largely avoided.

However, now we are in those end times and I believe the understanding is being revealed. Unfortunately, for many this understanding may have come too late, though, we have written on the possibility of repentance for taking this abomination here. In the meantime, can we prove what the abomination is in the first place? I believe so.

Now interestingly, in Daniel 12:10, the “man clothed in linen”, an angel, explains to Daniel that none of the wicked will possibly be able to understand the abomination to come:

  • Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

So, in order to understand this prophecy, and any prophecy really, one must be wise. It takes wisdom - not necessarily intelligence alone. Let’s examine this type of wisdom before moving on.

Wisdom vs. Intelligence

What is biblical wisdom? Does one need intelligence to be spiritually wise? Let us go to two places in the Bible, regarding the mark, where the word wisdom is used.

In Daniel 12:10, as mentioned earlier, this is the meaning of “wise” according to Strong’s Concordance:

Word: LKY

Pronounce: saw-kal'

Strong: H7919

Orig: a primitive root; to be (causatively, make or act) circumspect and hence, intelligent:--consider, expert, instruct, prosper, (deal) prudent(-ly), (give) skill(-ful), have good success, teach, (have, make to) understand(-ing), wisdom, (be, behave self, consider, make) wise(- ly), guide wittingly.

Use: TWOT-2263,2264 Verb

Grk Strong: G50 G718 G877 G878 G1343 G1921 G1987 G1990 G2137 G2186 G2657 G3154 G3471 G3474 G3474 G3539 G4907 G4908 G4920 G5263 G5426

1) to be prudent, be circumspect, wisely understand, prosper
1a) (Qal) to be prudent, be circumspect
1b) (Hiphil)
1b1) to look at or upon, have insight
1b2) to give attention to, consider, ponder, be prudent
1b3) to have insight, have comprehension
1b3a) insight, comprehension (subst)
1b4) to cause to consider, give insight, teach
1b4a) the teachers, the wise
1b5) to act circumspectly, act prudently, act wisely
1b6) to prosper, have success
1b7) to cause to prosper
2) (Piel) to lay crosswise, cross (hands)

Yes, intelligence is mentioned, but notice, what appears to be more important are words like “insight, attention, prudence, and circumspection.” Circumspection and prudence refer to the quality of being wary, cautious, or unwilling to take risks.

So, when we are told that the wise would be the ones who understand, they are the ones who exercise caution, pay attention, and do not take foolish risks. We will go back to the word “intelligent” later, when looking at Revelation and other verses, but in the meantime, let’s consider the Covid-19 vaccine, and whether are not those who took it were wise according to Daniel.

The Covid vaccine was made in “one weekend” as part of what was called “Operation Warp Speed”, and just as hastily, it seems, people were willing to inject it.

Though the media called it safe and effective, they also announced that it was the first mRNA vaccine in history. This article from December 11, 2020 openly states that the vaccine uses genetic material, is an emergency effort, and at the time, was not yet FDA approved.

So, I ask you, the reader, when people ran in line to take the new vaccine, were they being wise, wary, or prudent as Daniel suggested? Were they paying attention and thinking? When church leaders called for their members to get vaccinated as soon as possible, were they being wise?

I am going to say, “No,” to these questions, but we aren’t done with this study on wisdom yet.

In Revelation 13, we are then reminded about the wisdom one must have in order to understand the mark that everyone is about to take:

When we look at the meaning of wisdom in this context, we will understand that yes, intelligence is involved, but not merely intelligence:

Word: sofia

Pronounce: sof-ee'-ah

Strongs Number: G4678

Orig: from 4680; wisdom (higher or lower, worldly or spiritual):--wisdom. G4680

Use: TDNT-7:465,1056 Noun Feminine

Heb Strong: H999 H1847 H2451 H4148 H4284 H7922

1) wisdom, broad and full of intelligence; used of the knowledge of very diverse matters
1a) the wisdom which belongs to men
1a1) spec. the varied knowledge of things human and divine, acquired by acuteness and experience, and summed up in maxims and proverbs
1a2) the science and learning
1a3) the act of interpreting dreams and always giving the sagest advice
1a4) the intelligence evinced in discovering the meaning of some mysterious number or vision
1a5) skill in the management of affairs
1a6) devout and proper prudence in intercourse with men not disciples of Christ, skill and discretion in imparting Christian truth
1a7) the knowledge and practice of the requisites for godly and upright living
1b) supreme intelligence, such as belongs to God
1b1) to Christ
1b2) the wisdom of God as evinced in forming and executing counsels in the formation and government of the world and the scriptures

Then, we add on to wisdom the word understanding:

Word: nouj

Pronounce: nooce

Strongs Number: G3563

Orig: probably from the base of 1097; the intellect, i.e. mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication, meaning:--mind, understanding. Compare 5590. G1097

Use: TDNT-4:951,636 Noun Masculine

Heb Strong: H241 H1847 H3820 H3824 H7307

1) the mind, comprising alike the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining
1a) the intellectual faculty, the understanding
1b) reason in the narrower sense, as the capacity for spiritual truth, the higher powers of the soul, the faculty of perceiving divine things, of recognising goodness and of hating evil
1c) the power of considering and judging soberly, calmly and impartially
2) a particular mode of thinking and judging, i.e thoughts, feelings, purposes, desires

Wisdom, yes, involves worldly matters, but it also pertains to spiritual matters. Understanding, yes, involves intellect, but it also pertains to spiritual truth.

In Romans, it explains that many will profess to be wise, but they become fools. Further, in 2 Timothy 3:7, Paul states that there are those that are

  • “always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

Does that not sound like the world we live in today? I know of many who spend all of their time reading and learning, yet they lack spiritual wisdom. In these end times, we have more knowledge at our fingertips than ever existed in human history, and Daniel notes this! He says in Daniel 12:4 that knowledge shall increase in these times, but wisdom will be lacking.

I believe that understanding this first is the key to understanding the abomination of desolation. One isn’t just going to stumble upon its meaning. Rather, it will take someone who is searching, attentive, wary (and weary), and wise. It will take someone who may have varying forms of intelligence; however, they are truly seeking spiritual truths.

Now, the question is, next, what exactly is the abomination of desolation, and could it be the gene-editing vaccine many took so unwisely? Let us explore that.

What is the Daily Sacrifice and Abomination of Desolation?

So now we understand that we need some level of wisdom and understanding to even begin to understand what this abomination could be. So, Daniel gives us clues, starting in Daniel 12:11, with the “daily sacrifice” that would be taken away, and then the abomination of desolation that would be set up. Let’s go back to the concordance to examine these words carefully:

  • 12:11 And from the time 6256 [that] the daily 8548 [sacrifice] shall be taken away 5493 8717, and the abomination 8251 that maketh desolate 8074 8802 set up 5414 8800, [there shall be] a thousand 505 two hundred 3967 and ninety 8673 days 3117.(the abomination: Heb. to set up the abomination)(maketh…: or, astonisheth)

There’s a lot going on here, so let’s break it down.

The daily sacrifice refers to what we give up to the Lord continually in order to repent for our sins. In the Old Testament:

  • The “daily sacrifice” has to do with two lambs that were sacrificed by Israel on a daily basis. Instructions for this is found in Numbers 28:1-8. These sacrifices foreshadowed how Jesus died on the cross. Our Lord was nailed to the cross in the morning and died “between the evenings” at 3:00 P.M. at the same time the lambs were to be slain. He was the true sacrifice, and he replaced the typical lambs.

So, Daniel is referencing this daily sacrifice, though in a prophetic way in the end times. What is our daily sacrifice in these times? Is it a burnt offering or something physical today? No! Let’s read more here:

  • The Bible teaches that Jesus’ one time sacrifice was all sufficient to pay for the sin of Adam. Hebrews 10:10 (RSV), “…we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” His blood atones for all sins (past and future) done because of Adam. The man of sin (who is not an individual person) in the form of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church system established a different doctrine. They determined that Jesus needed to be re-sacrificed every time you sin – even after you have accepted Jesus and have been baptized. During the mass, they believe that Jesus is placed on the altar and re-sacrificed where they say “hoc est corpus meum” (Latin). Then the bread and wine miraculously become the actual body and blood of Jesus. Of course, today we recognize that the bread and wine are just symbols, but the Catholic mass has “polluted” and corrupted the doctrine or teaching of what Jesus’ sacrifice really meant and did.

To clarify, this source thinks Catholic mass is the abomination of desolation. This is false because Jesus is specifically talking about signs of the end times when he mentions the abomination in Matthew 24; however, the source is right that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice.

Our daily sacrifice, then is what? How do we account for sins now? Well, we need to confess them and repent continually. In other words, 1 John 1:9 states,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

So, we must confess our sins as our “sacrifice” to God. Where do we confess our sins? Do we have to go to a physical temple? No, we do not have to do that.

Why? According to the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, our bodies are now a temple, and according to 1 Corinthians 6:19:

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

So,to clarify, the “continual” (another word for daily) sacrifice that Daniel spoke of is the confession and repentance we do continually with our own temples (bodies). While we can go to church or a building to do this, it is not needed. I can confess my sins and repent as often as I like to, wherever I’d like to - even in a Satanic temple! I can be outside, in a church, or even on my deathbed. That is the beauty of Jesus Christ covering us with His blood.

So, now, we can understand that first the daily sacrifice is taken away. What then, could, take away someone’s spiritual ability to confess and repent? Let us now move to the word abomination:

Word: UEWY

Pronounce: shik-koots'

Strong: H8251

Orig: or shiqquts \i shik-koots'\i0\plain\f3\fs21\cf23 ; from 8262; disgusting, i.e. filthy; especially idolatrous or (concretely) an idol:-- abominable filth (idol, -ation), detestable (thing). H8262

Use: TWOT-2459b Noun Masculine

Grk Strong: G946 G948 G1497 G3393

1) detestable thing or idol, abominable thing, abomination, idol, detested thing

If you look deeper at the word UEWY, it is a detestable thing made of “filth.” Are the ingredients of the Covid vaccine filthy and abominable to God?

Well, the Covid vaccines do use aborted fetal cells, and that, in and of itself, is simply an abomination to the Lord:

It’s true that such cells have been used either in the testing or development and production of COVID-19 vaccines. The cells are grown in a laboratory and were derived from a few elective abortions performed more than three decades ago. These same cell lines are also used to test and advance our understanding of several routine drugs, including acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin, and they continue to be used for treatment research in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and hypertension.

So, just going off of just that, yes, the ingredients to the vaccine are abominable, and any Christian, whether they think it is the mark or not, should have researched these ingredients before taking it.

Now, there are many other theories about “luciferase” being in the vaccine. For the purpose of this book, I want to rely on what is reported by the media as much as possible to solidify that the vaccine is abominable. While I personally believe there is luciferase in the vaccine, as many are said to “glow” after taking it, the media will tell you otherwise.

The point is, we have established the vaccine is abominable before God because it has aborted fetal cells, and abortion is clearly an abomination before Jesus Christ. Christians should not partake in abortion, NOR should they inject themselves with aborted fetal cells.

Now that we have established the vaccine is an abomination, though, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the abomination of desolation.

According to the concordance, to make desolate means:

Word: MNY

Pronounce: shaw-mame'

Strong: H8074

Orig: a primitive root; to stun (or intransitively, grow numb), i.e. devastate or (figuratively) stupefy (both usually in a passive sense):--make amazed, be astonied, (be an) astonish(-ment), (be, bring into, unto, lay, lie, make) desolate(-ion, places), be destitute, destroy (self), (lay, lie, make) waste, wonder.

Use: TWOT-2409 Verb

Grk Strong: G390 G622 G818 G853 G1311 G1590 G1605 G1839 G1863 G2048 G2049 G2050 G2295 G2296 G2657 G2704 G4768 G4937 G5015

1) to be desolate, be appalled, stun, stupefy
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to be desolated, be deflowered, be deserted, be appalled
1a2) to be appalled, be awestruck
1b) (Niphal)
1b1) to be desolated, be made desolate
1b2) to be appalled
1c) (Polel)
1c1) to be stunned
1c2) appalling, causing horror (participle)
1c2a) horror-causer, appaller (subst)
1d) (Hiphil)
1d1) to devastate, ravage, make desolated
1d2) to appal, show horror
1e) (Hophal) to lay desolate, be desolated
1f) (Hithpolel)
1f1) to cause to be desolate
1f2) to be appalled, be astounded
1f3) to cause oneself desolation, cause oneself ruin

What is this abomination desolating? It is desolating the ability for a person to make a daily sacrifice to God.

It is desolating, or removing God, from one’s holy temple. If God dwells within us, as our bodies are our temples, then the abomination of desolation makes it impossible for God to dwell in our temples. If God is not in our temples, then our bodies are no longer a temple before God.

Most reading can agree the vaccine is a disgusting, abomination before God. However, does it make people desolate, or without Him? If so, how could it do that?

It’s All About the Blood

While we have written about this topic at further length here in our book entitled “It's All About the Blood”, I want to focus on this topic a little more regarding the abomination of desolation. I want this to be extremely clear to readers, so that upon finishing reading there is no doubt that the vaccine is the abomination of desolation noted in Daniel.

So, let us recap to make sure we are all on the same page:

  1. Wisdom is needed to understand the abomination of desolation/mark of the beast.
  2. The abomination of desolation takes the place of the “daily sacrifice.”
  3. In the Old Testament, the daily sacrifice was a physical sacrifice done in a temple.
  4. In the New Testament, our daily sacrifice is a confession and repentance of sin through Jesus Christ in our bodily temples that can take place at anywhere or anytime.
  5. We follow the New Testament as Christians.
  6. The vaccine is an abomination before the Lord.

So, then, how could this abomination make us desolate of God? If God resides in our holy temples daily, how could he be permanently removed?

I am going to go back to It’s All About the Blood with this excerpt about the importance of blood in the Bible:

Blood is a thematic element throughout the entire Bible, in spiritual, symbolic, and literal ways. One could argue it is the central tenet of the Bible itself - the blood of Jesus to cover all sins.

In order to understand the significance of blood, we need to quickly examine the conceptual elements of blood in the Old and New Testament.

Blood is so important in the Bible that it is mentioned right away, in Genesis:

  • Genesis 9:4, ESV: But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
  • Genesis 9:4, KJV: But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

As you can see, blood is defined as the life-force, but we will come back to this in a little bit, as it can get complicated. So, let’s start with a simple review of blood in the Bible:

The question is, though, what is it about the blood that is so important? Yes, it is the life-force of humanity, but I think we need to dig deeper into why the Bible is all about the blood, and what that means for the present day.

Most of us take our blood for granted. It is something we rarely think about daily unless we bleed from an injury. Unless you have a condition that involves blood or you have had a tragedy involving blood, it is unlikely to be on your mind very often.

Still, nobody would question the importance of blood, but rather, they may not understand the many roles blood plays in your daily survival, healing, and breath itself. In other words, our blood is vital to life. While we can survive without many things, blood is not one of them, and unlike many other natural elements, no perfect substitutes have been invented to replace blood.

Now, let’s not forget that blood contains our DNA, and while Snopes doesn’t like this fact, Laminin, the "stuff" that holds the membranes of our body together, is shaped exactly like a cross. Coincidence or evidence of divine creation? I say the latter, as God is the perfect, intricate designer. You can learn more about God’s perfection in design in our writing on this site titled Scientism: The One World Religion You’ve Been Waiting For.

So, if blood is important to us as individuals, then certainly it is just as, if not more important, to the human race itself.

As we can see, blood is a fundamental component to our salvation in the Bible. So, then, what happens, if someone alters their blood in some way? What happens, then, if someone decides, either knowingly or unknowingly, to alter their DNA? How would God view this?

Before we answer these questions, let us first go back to what the media told us about these Covid vaccines and our DNA when they were newly released.

On December 17, 2020, this article came out entitled,“Yes, some of Covid vaccines use genetic engineering. Get over it.”

This article clearly explains that these vaccines rely on a form of genetic engineering, and this article was released with this information for people to consider before they took the vaccine. This article wasn’t hidden from anyone, but rather, very easy to find with a google search and internet access.

Now, you will get varied information on whether or not Covid vaccines use “gene therapy,” but all you need to know is whether these vaccines have the potential to alter even one, tiny cell. Scientific studies show that, yes, Covid vaccines can alter your DNA according to this study:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35723296/

  • Here is the abstract:
  • Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells. We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an endogenous reverse transcriptase. Immunohistochemistry using antibody binding to LINE-1 open reading frame-1 RNA-binding protein (ORFp1) on Huh7 cells treated with BNT162b2 indicated increased nucleus distribution of LINE-1. PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.

The media will tell you these studies are being misconstrued, so it is on you, the reader, to be “wise” and examine what this study is saying.

No matter how small this process is, no matter how tiny the cells it changes are, evidence is showing that, yes, it does in fact, alter DNA.

So, then, what makes a human? If we edit our DNA, are we human before God anymore? If God created us in His image, and we decide to alter that image - are we in His image anymore? No. A person who alters their DNA through any process, whether it be a vaccine, nasal spray, or gene splicing, is a transhuman, or even, a beast before God.

Did Jesus come to save animals, beasts, reptilian beings, demons, Satan, or genetically-engineered transhumans? No. He died at the cross for humans.

To give an example of this in the Bible, the Nephilim cannot seek repentance from Jesus Christ or be saved. The hybrid beings are an abomination to God.

Now, when one decides to edit their genes, either willingly or unwillingly, they become desolate of God. Why? They are no longer considered human beings in his eyes, and he can no longer dwell in their holy (bodily) temples.

It does not matter which gene is edited or how. Rather, it matters that one chose to “change” their image of God into the image of man.

So, the vaccine is not only an abomination, but it makes a person desolate of God. It is the abomination of desolation.

If anyone reading this has taken the vaccine, I still believe, somehow, someway, it is possible to repent. While you may have altered your DNA, that does not mean you cannot still pray to God and ask Him to forgive you. I wrote all about repentance in my book here, so please go to Jesus with these questions on repentance - not man.

Now this all leads to the next question: Is the “Abomination of Desolation” the “Mark of the Beast’ noted in Revelation?

The Mark of the Beast

Yes, we believe the abomination and mark are one and the same. The abomination of desolation marks your genes, and it makes you a beast before God.

Now, the mark of the beast does have a buying and selling component, and this is where it gets a little tricky.

According to patent 060606 (this calls for wisdom), cryptocurrency will be linked to the human body through sensors.

I believe this already happened with the vaccines, and the cryptocurrency tied to this is soon to come out.

Satan is not an idiot. He knew what prophecy said, and he did things backwards. He knew everyone immediately figured out the buying and selling component, so he did it all in a way that was scientifically very difficult to understand.

In my book, I explained that everyone who has taken the vaccine has a MAC address. I have tested Witness 1 and I, and we do not have one, but people we know who took the vaccine do. You can email me to find out how to test this if you are confused, but it does require an Android phone.

These mac addresses are tied to their entire beast system, and vaccinated people will soon be linked to some type of digital ID. They may not call it that. We know Satan has to be clever. Whatever they call it, though, you will HAVE to have the gene-alteration to be accepted into the Beast System.

Further, they may not really explain to people how this digital ID system will work. They are good at manipulating language to deceive people, but they will tell you, you will need to be up to date on those mRNA vaccines!

The question is - are they manipulating people who have taken the vaccines? Possibly.

So, for now, they may not be doing much with them, but that isn’t entirely clear either. We have no idea if they are able to manipulate minds and bodies yet with the vaccines, or if some type of “switch” is needed to truly turn people into beasts.

Time will tell. What I will say is this, digital ID is already ready, and it is coming:

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/when-will-phased-digital-id-rollout-start-which-airportsstates

Now, right now it is all being tested, but when it comes out, nobody will suspect! They will say, “This doesn’t go into my body. It can’t be the mark!” - not realizing they already took what was needed - the mark of the beast!

People will line up for their new digital IDs after the collapse of worldwide economies. They will be told, “You must be updated on all your vaccinations and there is no exemption for this.”

People will not think anything of it. Because they do not understand the vaccine is the mark, it won’t matter. All will be eventually forced to get the digital ID, which requires the vaccine, or be beheaded.

Now, this is all a little dark, but that is Revelation for you.

To end on a positive note, I once listened to a vision of someone who saw their own beheading due to not taking the mark. She said, “I saw myself getting beheaded, and I was scared, but then, I woke up with Jesus. I realized it was easy! It wasn’t hard at all!”

She explained that she was so scared to die, but it really felt like nothing at all, and she was rejoicing with the Lord in the end.

If you’re not Christian and reading this, you are probably thinking I’m a lunatic. But, if you truly find Jesus Christ, we know that many lose their lives for His word - and it is entirely worth it in the end.

To end, I want to go back to the perfect unity of the Bible. Jesus said,

To paraphrase, when you see the abomination of desolation (vaccine) put into people’s bodies, you better have a plan of escape because things are about to get crazy!
