Hey everybody I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute by ball hour podcast and yesterday I said we were going to

pick up right where we left off with this question about the abomination that

leads to desolation in, well not in one particular chapter of Daniel but scattered all over the book of

Daniel and as we were talking about yesterday Daniel deals with this theme of

profaning the temple in three different chronological ways.

Daniel looks back on a way that the temple was profaned

when Nebuchaneseer conquered Jerusalem

and I think they say 586 or some debate about that date now.

Daniel also talks about the continuation of that

profaning of the temple under Nebuchanezer's son Bel-Chazar in Daniel's own

lifetime and then Daniel looks forward in a prophecy in chapter 9 to some future profaning of the temple

with specific language saying that there will be an abomination that causes

desolation and that specific language is latched onto by Jesus in

Matthew chapter 24 in the Alavet discourse. What we're working on right now is

trying to make the connection between the two. I realize what just happened.

I said we were going to pick up right where we left off and then for those of you who were binging this thing and catching up after the fact you're like that was a minute. That's a minute of my time where we did not pick up right where we left off but for those of you who

listen to this in real time and yesterday it was like 24 hours ago right now you're

like you know what I like you Matt Whitman I like you because you helped me get

right back into it so I remember what's going on.

It's a fine line to walk my friends and whether you are caught up or catching up I'm

grateful you're here and infinitely thankful for your patience with my resets.

All that said then who historically would the Jews
