WHAT IS THE SCRIPTURAL IDENTITY
OF THE ONE "CAUSING DESOLATION"?
HOW THE "KING OF THE SOUTH" IS IDENTIFIED.
The "king of the south" governs by the will of
the people (demoncracy). Citizens have a limited freedom of
choice, Christianity is tolerated, and hope exists through faith in God.
Citizens are free to exercise their Christian faith
and be subjected to God through The Christ's teachings, and this is permitted to
continue by the State. (Dan 11:40).
HOW THE "KING OF THE NORTH" IS IDENTIFIED.
The "king of the
north" rules by force:
Dictatorship. Economic and military supremacy is used to threaten and intimidate
other nations and to war against spiritual Kingdom developments, causing
desolation among its citizens. This "king" conducts a cold war
against nations that tolerate Christianity, and seeks to "flood over"
those nations to annihilate all hope in God. (11:40).
HOW THE "FOREIGN GOD" IS IDENTIFIED.
The removal of the "constant feature"
(Holy Spirit) by apostate priests removing faithful anointed sons of God from JW
congregations and putting in their place unsealed "Ahab"
'elders' (a
"foreign god") is doomed to fail. In the spiritual fulfilment of
Daniel 11:39 satan uses whoever
gives him recognition as king to spiritually war against "the most
fortified strongholds": Anointed members of the "sanctuary" class of
God. This desolating work of satan was realized when
he gave glory-seeking unsealed "Ahab" men authority in the spiritual
"land" of God, and by this means worked "along with a foreign god."
(11:39).
"AND
THEY WILL CERTAINLY PUT IN PLACE THE
DISGUSTING THING THAT IS CAUSING DESOLATION."
The United Nations Organization is
not the "disgusting thing that is causing desolation."
(11:31). Desolation has been caused by the "disgusting thing"
removing faithful anointed sons of God from their spiritual "land".
Otherwise, how could "other sheep" of The Christ
"catch sight"
of this "disgusting thing" and "begin fleeing to the
mountains" (to spiritual "Israel")?
(Matt 24:15. John 10:16). "Those leaving the holy covenant"
are responsible for removing the "constant
feature" (faithful anointed sons of God). The "arms that
will stand up,*
proceeding from him" (proceeding from the
apostate governing 'body' of JWs) are unsealed
'elders'
appointed by covenant-leavers. (11:30,31). Those in JW congregations
"called" to be holy ones but not "chosen" due to their
apostasy, "profane the sanctuary" by putting in place the
"disgusting thing that is causing desolation."
(11:31. Matt 22:14 RSV). Those "leaving the holy
covenant" did not create or put in place the League or
United Nations, but are "called" ones who turned to apostasy and
acted wickedly against the holy covenant.
The "palatial tents" of satan are "planted" (put in place)
"between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration." (11:45).
What the sect of JWs claims the United Nations to be
contradicts with the true fulfilment of the prophecy of
Daniel.
