 | | When you see the ‘abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place..., then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains" (Matthew 24:15-16). |
 | | Indeed, Daniel was told that "from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up," 1,290 days—a little more than 3 1⁄2 years—would elapse until, apparently, the resurrection of Daniel and the rest of the saints would occur (Daniel 12:11, 13). |
 | | Also, just as the original abomination of desolation marked the beginning of a period of unparalleled horror and misery, so will the final one begin the time of the greatest horror ever, the coming Great Tribulation. |
