The End-Time Abomination of Desolation
Jesus called the Abomination of Desolation the one undeniable milestone of the end times.
But what is it? Has it already happened with Antiochus, Titus, or the Dome of the Rock—or is it still to come through the Antichrist?
In this episode of End-Time Disciples, Tom presents the biblical case and Pastor Ryan joins for a lively discussion. Do we need a rebuilt temple? Is there a pre-trib rapture? Or is the temple the body of Christ?
Despite different perspectives, we agree on one thing: Jesus is the only way, and He calls us to endure and overcome.
