[Gary Petty] We just finished recording a Beyond Today television program on the abomination of desolation. This is an important phrase used by Jesus Christ in the Olivet Prophecy. And we looked at how this prophecy has a latter and former fulfillment. It actually happened one time in the past, and it’s going to happen again in the future. One of the things we talk about in this program is that both times, the abomination of desolation is centered in Jerusalem. We need to be looking at Jerusalem all the time as ground zero for biblical prophecy. And the Bible says that it will be a heavy stone, and it is going to be a heavy stone in the future on all nations.

Of course, we know that Jesus Christ is going to return there, but not before there is another abomination of desolation set up in Jerusalem. So keep your eyes on Jerusalem as ground zero for biblical prophecy.

That’s BT Daily. Join us next time.
