THE BURNING PLATFORM - WEATHER WEAPON
HURRICANE IDALIA: You don’t know what you don’t know - OPERATION HURRICANE
SEASON: Florida Under Withering Weather Attacks For Five Years - Submitted by
Weather Wars Watcher - The very day that Florida set itself up as America’s
premier (and only) FREEDOM STATE, it has found itself in the crosshairs of the
New World Order globalist cabal. KEY POINT: The last three major hurricanes to
hit the United States mainland — IN A ROW — have all made landfall in Florida
with Idalia expected to be the third.
This has never happened before in Hurricane Season history. And, by the
way, two of the older SOTN editors are long-term residents of Florida and they
never saw a constant procession of superstorms as the geoegineered hurricanes
of today. The NWO weather warriors have
been slowly and stealthily conditioning the Southeast populace to accept this
new normal, which is actually a regime of geoterrorism for political
distraction and climate crisis manipulation purposes, among other malevolent
goals. End of story! https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/08/29/weather-weapon-hurricane-idalia-you-dont-know-what-you-dont-know/

TIM BROWN: US Government Raids Amish
Farm & Seizes His Property: "Shocking Display Of Overreach"
(Video) - Tuesday, August 29, 2023 12:00 - The federal government and even the
state government were never designed to engage in this kind of tyranny against
those they were supposed to serve. Yet,
month after month and year after year, we read about stories like this in which
these criminal enterprises come in and destroy a local economy, a man’s
livelihood and cast doubt on those things which God gave us to sustain us. They do all this while promoting as “safe and
effective” the dangerous “foods,” “drinks” and various other things such as
pharmaceuticals. Such is the case with
an Amish farmer in Virginia, whose farm was raided and his property seized for
simply providing something worthwhile and healthy to his community. However, he is fighting back. https://beforeitsnews.com/food-and-farming/2023/08/us-government-raids-amish-farm-seizes-his-property-shocking-display-of-overreach-video-2533300.html

parents have no right to opt kids out of LGBT curriculum - August 27, 2023 - The
court conclude the plaintiffs’ right to direct their children’s upbringing by
opting out of a public-school curriculum is not a fundamental right. - By Charles
Hilu, Washington Free Beacon - A federal court ruled Thursday that parents who
sued a Maryland school district have no right to opt their children out of classes
teaching LGBT curriculum. The parents, who sued Montgomery County Public
Schools, sought for the school district to reinstate a policy that allowed them
to withdraw their children from discussions of books featuring LGBT characters.
The district in January put in place the policy but reversed course in March.
(Comment: Parents absolutely have the right to judge what goes into their
children’s young minds. They can opt out of the schools and put them in private
schools or charter schools, or home school their children if they want.
Allowing Queer Nation to have a say in the upbringing of your child in public
schools is not an option to believers. Take to the courts and sue, sue, sue, to

The Coming Abomination of Desolation
by Britt Gillette
Published on: December 8, 2012
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Aug. 29th 2023
In the near future, an event of
enormous significance will transpire in Jerusalem, the effects of which will
resound throughout the world and throughout eternity. A man will ascend the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem, go into the Holy of Holies within the rebuilt Jewish
Temple, and proclaim himself to be God Almighty. In His Olivet Discourse, a
response to His disciple’s questions concerning the end of the age, Jesus
Christ warned His followers that this event, known as “the abomination of
desolation,” will be the key event which will trigger the Great Tribulation:
“The day is coming when you will see
what Daniel the prophet spoke about – the sacrilegious object that causes
desecration standing in the Holy Place.” Matthew 24:15 (NLT)
When this event occurs, it will
dominate contemporary news headlines. Christ tells us it will also be a sign to
the world that His Glorious Appearing is close at hand.
The abomination of desolation will
mark the beginning of a time of unspeakable satanic violence and human anguish.
In fact, Jesus told His disciples it will be a time of great tribulation such
as the world has never seen, nor ever will see again. A cursory glance at
Jewish historical events of the past century, which include the Holocaust,
Stalin’s pogroms, and Muslim attempts to wipe out the Jewish state of Israel,
vividly illustrate the depths of human depravity. Yet, our Lord informs us that
these horrors will pale in comparison to those which are to come.
What is the Abomination of
Desolation?
In order for people to recognize the
abomination of desolation when it takes place, they must first know what it is.
Some translations of the bible render this phrase the “abomination which causes
desolation,” a more accurate depiction of the event. For this act of abomination,
once committed, will literally cause the desolation of Israel.
Let’s examine the definitions of the
key components in this satanic act of arrogance.
“Abomination” Defined
Webster’s dictionary defines the word
“abomination” as a “loathsome or disgusting act.” This serves as an adequate
biblical definition as well, for when the bible mentions something as an
“abomination” it means “an act which is loathsome or disgusting in the eyes of
God.” In most instances in which the word “abomination” is used in the bible,
it is used to describe the sin of idolatry. Therefore, it’s reasonable to
conclude that the abomination which is the abomination of desolation will be an
idolatrous act which will defile the Holy Place.
If this is true, then what is “the
Holy Place”?
“The Holy Place” Defined
The “Holy Place” of which Jesus spoke
is the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Although some people have interpreted the
“holy place” as any number of things – Israel, Jerusalem, the Jews, or the
church – the full context of the scriptures makes it fully clear that Jesus is
referring to the Jewish Temple.
In the Book of Acts, the Jewish
Temple is referred to as the “Holy Place” (emphasis added):
“The seven days were almost ended
when some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in the Temple and roused a
mob against him. They grabbed him, yelling, ‘Men of Israel, help us! This is
the man who preaches against our people everywhere and tells everybody to
disobey the Jewish laws. He speaks against the Temple – and even defiles this
holy place by bringing in Gentiles.’ (For earlier that day they had seen him in
the city with Trophimus, a Gentile from Ephesus, and they assumed Paul had
taken him into the Temple.)” Acts 21:27-29 (NLT)
In addition, the prophet Daniel
refers to the abomination of desolation in reference to the Jewish Temple:
“He will put an end to the sacrifices
and offerings. Then as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a
sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the end that has been decreed
is poured out on this defiler.” Daniel 9:27 (NLT)
The fact that the abomination of
desolation occurs along with putting “an end to the sacrifices and offerings”
is further evidence that the Jewish Temple plays a pivotal role in this
infamous event.
So why is the abomination one of
“desolation”?
“Desolation” Defined
Webster’s dictionary defines
“desolation” as “a barren, neglected state or area.” This is the perfect
definition for understanding the meaning of our topic. For Jesus tells us that
this act will cause the desolation of Israel:
“Then those in Judea must flee to the
hills. A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to
pack. A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. How
terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days.
And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For there
will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will
never be so great again. In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened,
not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of
God’s chosen ones.” Matthew 24:16-22 (NLT)
Once the abomination of desolation
takes place, it will soon be followed by unprecedented persecution of the Jewish
people. This is difficult to believe, given our knowledge of the Holocaust. But
according to Jesus, these will be the darkest days in Jewish history.
The Jews will face persecution at the
hands of the Antichrist, an arrogant world dictator who will commit the
abomination of desolation by proclaiming himself to be God.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes
Believe it or not, a similar
abomination took place in history once before.
In 167 B.C., the Syrian king
Antiochus IV Epiphanes erected a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies and
desecrated the sanctuary and its holy vessels. Several centuries prior to this,
the prophet Daniel (in Daniel 11:21-35) prophesied the life and times of this
sinister figure. Yet those same verses, in many ways, also apply to the
Antichrist, whose life is detailed in Daniel 11:36-45.
Some people claim that Antiochus IV
Epiphanes committed the abomination of desolation, thus fulfilling the prophecies
of Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15. But this is simply not true. Although the
Book of Daniel was written prior to 167 B.C., the Olivet Discourse took place
almost two centuries later. Jesus was well aware of the abominable acts
committed by Antiochus IV Epiphanes. After all, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah
is a celebration of the Temple’s liberation from the rule of Antiochus IV
Epiphanes. Clearly, Jesus spoke of a future abomination:
“The day is coming when you will see
what Daniel the prophet spoke about – the sacrilegious object that causes
desecration standing in the Holy Place.” Matthew 24:15 (NLT)
Although Antiochus IV Epiphanes came
in the spirit and power of the Antichrist, the Antichrist himself will be the
ultimate fulfillment of the prophecies in Daniel 11, Daniel 9:27, and Matthew
24:15. This is why Jesus referred to the desecration of the Temple as a still
future event.
If we examine the signs of the times,
we’ll find God is warning us that this future event will take place soon – in our
generation.
The Antichrist and the Abomination of
Desolation
The Book of Revelation provides us
with further knowledge regarding the Antichrist and his monumental act of
desecration:
“He ordered the people to make a
great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to
life. He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak.
Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must
die.” Revelation 13:14-15 (NLT)
The Antichrist will fulfill this
prophesy by standing in the Jewish Temple and proclaiming himself to be God. He
will set up an image in the Holy Place and demand the world worship it.
Such a scenario is in full agreement
with the apostle Paul’s description of the Antichrist and his character:
“He will exalt himself and defy every
god there is and tear down every object of adoration and worship. He will
position himself in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.” 2
Thessalonians 2:4 (NLT)
The Antichrist will not just be an
enemy of God Almighty, but of anything which distracts the human race from the
worship of himself as the one true God. Needless to say, the Antichrist will be
quite arrogant.
Unfortunately, much of the world will
answer the call to worship him:
“And all the people who belong to
this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written
in the Book of Life before the world was made – the Book that belongs to the
Lamb who was slaughtered.” Revelation 13:8 (NLT)
The Arrogance of the Antichrist:
The abomination of desolation is not
only an act of rebellion against God Almighty, but a proclamation of inflated
self-worth. Another being proclaiming himself to be God is the ultimate act of
arrogance, and the bible reveals, the Antichrist will be the most arrogant
individual in history:
“This little horn had eyes like human
eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly.” Daniel 7:8 (NLT)
“The king will do as he pleases,
exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every god there is, even
blaspheming the God of gods.” Daniel 11:36 (NLT)
“He will have no regard for the god
of his ancestors, or for the god beloved of women, or for any other god, for he
will boast that he is greater than them all. Instead of these, he will worship
the god of fortresses – a god his ancestors never knew – and lavish on him
gold, silver, precious stones, and costly gifts.” Daniel 11:37-38 (NLT)
The Antichrist will be so filled with
self-love and hubris that he will launch a spiritual and physical rebellion
against God Almighty. He will place himself above all others, attempting to
overthrow the Lord of the universe and set his own throne high above God’s
stars.
He Will Attack the Saints
As part of his campaign to create
universal worship of himself, the Antichrist will set out to destroy those who
are faithful to God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“And the beast was allowed to wage
war against God’s holy people and overcome them.” Revelation 13:7 (NLT)
“He will destroy powerful leaders and
devastate the holy people. He will be a master of deception, defeating many by
catching them off guard. Without warning he will destroy them. He will even
take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by
human power.” Daniel 8:24-25 (NLT)
The Antichrist will wield enormous
power, and he will “devastate” the holy people of God. But he will meet his
demise when he challenges the Prince of princes in battle – the Lord Jesus
Christ.
When Will the Abomination of
Desolation Occur?
The bible is clear that the
abomination of desolation will occur at the mid-point of the Tribulation, a
seven year period in Israel’s history set into motion by a covenant between
Israel and the Antichrist:
“The ruler will make a treaty with
the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time, he will
put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible
deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the
fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.” Daniel 9:27 (NLT)
The Antichrist will sign a treaty
with the state of Israel for a period of seven years. The details and nature of
this treaty are yet unknown, but many have speculated that in a bid to secure
peace with its neighbors, Israel will agree to rely on the Antichrist for its
national security. God refers to this agreement as a “covenant with Sheol” (or
hell), and God’s assessment will prove true when the Antichrist breaks this
covenant after three and a half years. The abomination of desolation will serve
as a public acknowledgment that he is breaking his treaty with Israel, and it
will signal the beginning of the Great Tribulation, a time of unprecedented
persecution of God’s people:
“And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.” Revelation 12:6
(NLT)
The woman referenced in this passage
is the nation of Israel, which gave birth to the Messiah. Because of the
Antichrist’s persecution, the nation of Israel will be forced to flee into the
wilderness, where God will supernaturally protect her. The Antichrist’s
campaign of persecution against the Jews will last 1,260 days, which is 3.5
biblical years.
Conclusion
The implications of the abomination
of desolation can not be overstated. Our generation has already witnessed the
fulfillment and initial fulfillment of most of the bible’s end times
prophecies. The Jews have been gathered from distant lands to resurrect the
nation of Israel. The Jews are in possession of Jerusalem. The Gog and Magog
alliance is forming. The European Union (the revived Roman Empire) is quickly
becoming the world’s most powerful super state. All of these are signs of the
times. Yet, in order for the abomination of desolation to occur, still another
event must take place – the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.
As of this writing, the secular world
views the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple as a highly improbable event. Yet,
God Himself has told us the Jewish Temple will exist in the last days. Therefore,
when the Temple is rebuilt, it will serve as a sign to the entire world that
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is God Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega.
Nearly the entire world – a billion
Muslims, countless Anti-Semites, world leaders and diplomats, and even Israeli
politicians frightened of war – speak with one voice when it comes to the idea
of rebuilding the Jewish Temple. “It will never happen!” they say. But God has
other plans. The Temple will be rebuilt, and soon thereafter, the world will
tremble when a man of unprecedented power and frightening arrogance visits its
inner sanctuary.
Knowing that everything the Lord has
revealed to His prophets is destined for fulfillment, we should pray for the
people of this world, while living our lives for the next and remaining alert
to the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Keep alert at all times. And pray
that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before
the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36 (NLT)
