It is Israel policy that the abomination that causes desolation be placed in Israel along with the cities of all the nations that have attacked Israel.
This great war is the cause of the great earthquakes,pestilences,and fearful sights in the heavens .The heavens departing as a scroll being rolled together .
What men... told you all that?
Try actually reading... what Lord Jesus said in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 for yourself. Then you might begin to figure out those men you listen to are misleading you, showing they don't really understand those Scriptures.
The time of earthquakes, nation against nation, pestilences, wars and rumors of wars, Jesus called the
"beginning of sorrows" in Matthew 24. That is NOT about the
"great tribulation" time He later warns about in that Chapter. Those are events leading up to the
"great tribulation".
The placing of the "abomination of desolation" IDOL at a new 3rd stone temple in Jerusalem built by the Jews is a requirement for that event to happen at the end. And that building of that future temple won't occur until the false-Messiah arrives in Jerusalem to support it. And when that AOD is setup at that new Jewish temple in Jerusalem, that is when Jesus showed the "great tribulation" time will begin.
The time of
"great tribulation" Jesus showed will be a time opposite of the idea of wars and rumors of war. That's why He said that as long as one hears of wars and rumors of war, the END is not yet. That "
end" He mentioned is about the
"great tribulation" time at the end of this world just prior to His 2nd coming. It will be a time of WORLD PEACE, not all out WWIII. This was shown in Daniel 8 about the coming false-Messiah, and in Revelation about the "dragon" that will rule over all nations and peoples for 42 months. It will be about 'spiritual' warfare, not literal military war.
As for the vile person ,he does not place the abomination of desolation .His armed forces do .He is not qualified to handle the abomination that causes desolation.But he does have the codes and the authority to command that it be placed in whatever city it is to be used in
It will be that "vile person" whom the Jews in Jerusalem will make as their king. And a king possesses what? A KINGDOM. So who's army would that be? That vile person's army, representing him! So your strain at a gnat is just foolishness and means nothing.
