In spite of King Josiah's attempt to make righteous reforms, the time during and after Josiah, Israelites lived in sinful rebellion. Israelites had become so evil and perverted, sodomites were allowed in Solomon's temple. God's answer to that was to send Babylon to destroy both Jerusalem and the temple.


For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight,
declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations
in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.

Jeremiah 7:30


Daniel, Matthew 24 and Mark 13 refer to what is called, the "abomination that makes desolate."

Matthew 24 and Mark 13 are parallels to Luke 17.

Ironically, although Luke 17, Matthew 24 and Mark 13 are all three parallels of the same prophecy... only Matthew 24 and Mark 13 refer to the "abomination that makes desolate"... Luke 17 is the only one of the three that refers to the "days of Lot."

So by inference... the "days of Lot" = the "abomination that makes desolate" !!


It's interesting what God has hidden in plain sight for those who are wise to seek it out.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter
and the glory of kings to search it out.

Proverbs 25:2


Read Luke 17:28-33... verses that reference the "days of Lot" happening at Christ's second coming.

The "days of Lot" reference is in Luke 17 but not in the Matthew 24 or Mark 13 parallels.

Note the very next verse after the first "days of Lot" verses [Luke 17:28-29] and after the reference of the "days of Lot" to the return of Christ [Luke 17:30]... the next verse is Luke 17:31... which matches the same verses in Matthew 24:17 and Mark 13:15... [THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT !!] Then Luke 17:32 verifies Christ is still talking about the "days of Lot" analogy.

Luke 17 refers to the "days of Lot" but not the "abomination that makes desolate"... while Matthew 24 and Mark 13 refer to the "abomination that makes desolate" [see the verses that proceed Matthew 24:17 and Mark 13:15]... but not the "days of Lot."

DO YOU SEE IT ??!!

God has substituted the "days of Lot" in Luke 17 to identify the "abomination that makes desolate" in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 !!

Wow even the differences in the gospels are important pieces of the puzzle !!!
