From both the End time Prophecies (Last Days/Latter Days... of the Old Testament...etc), handed down to the ancient Hebrew Prophets from God The Father, and the End of The Age Second Coming Prophecies given directly to the Apostles by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and other Last Day Biblical prophecies I'll include, let us see...
We are in truth in the very last days per: Like Father, Like Son in end time prophecy.
In Matthew 24:2 Christ predicted the destruction of the Second Holy Temple. This similar historically Fulfilled prophecy can also be found in {Mark 13:2}, {Luke 21:6}.
{Matthew 24:3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" }
The Destruction of 2nd Holy Temple {Luke 21:6} included the 2nd exile of the Jews. Partial of {Luke 21:24} & {Ezekiel 36:19}-(using just this verse in Ezekiel). All three Biblical Prophecies Historically Fulfilled in 70 A.D.
From the destruction of the Jews 2nd Holy Temple, and the Beginning of the Jews 2nd and final exile, their ancient homeland had also been destroyed, and historically had laid waste for centuries.
Lord God the Father declared the 2nd exile of the Jews would be their final exile {Ezekiel 37:21-23}-(using these verses in Ezekiel).
In the Book of Ezekiel, mainly Chapters: 36, and 37, Lord God declared the ancient homeland of the Jews had laid a wasteland. Lord God commanded the Mountains of Israel to bear forth its fruit for His people (the Jews) for they will soon come home {Ezekiel 36:8}.
A Time Lord God would gather the Jews from their 2nd and final exile, from every Nation where they went, and bring them Back into their own land. Taken from The historically fulfilled prophecy of {Ezekiel 36:24}-(starting in the late 1940's).
Lord God declared He'd make them A Nation (1948). Taken from the historically fulfilled prophecy of {Ezekiel 37:22} and restore their desolate ancient homeland that had laid waste for centuries from the Historical events that took place in 70 A.D, and that their ancient homeland would become like the Garden of Eden {Ezekiel 36:34-36}. Israel Today (2010), supplies most of Europe with much fruit and vegetation.
Historically, there were only two (2) Exiles of the Jews. The first (1st), was the Babylonian Captivity, The second (2nd) and final exile of the Jews, was among all the nations of the World. Again, {Ezekiel 36:19} & Partial of {Luke 21:24}.
Again, Lord God the Father declared the 2nd exile of the Jews would be their final exile {Ezekiel 37:21-23}-(using these verses in Ezekiel).
RE-CAPPING - reminding
In Matthew 24:2 Christ predicted the destruction of the Second Holy Temple. This similar historically Fulfilled prophecy can also be found in {Mark 13:2}, {Luke 21:6}.
{Matthew 24:3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" }
The Lord Jesus Christ's prediction of the destruction of the Second Holy Temple in {Matthew 24:2}, brought on the Apostles Questions in {Matthew 24:3}
So knowing Christ's fulfilled Prophecy of the second Holy Temple Historically fulfilled in 70 A.D, along with Christ's historically partially Fulfilled Prophecy of {Luke 21:24} and the historically fulfilled similiar prophecy of {Ezekiel 36:19}, which included the destruction of the ancient homeland of the Jews, when would these Apostles see a fig tree blossom again?
Taking a quick field trip in Defining a parable.
A parable is a story in which a real and earthly thing is used to parallel or illustrate a spiritual or heavenly thing. Such a story acts as a "riddle" that both veils and reveals all at once -- veiling the spiritual behind words that reveal the earthly and which can be penetrated to reach the spiritual by those "who have ears to hear."
Field trip over, and Now back to the Bible.
{Acts 1:6-7 (NASB) So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;..."}
Still don't buy the parable of the fig tree blossoming symbolizing the Jews must first be restored back into their own restored Land before we could expect the Second Coming of Christ?
I'm sure that's why The Holy Spirit had me invite "Logic" and "Mankind's very own recorded history" to testify that we are, in the very last days.
{Matthew 24:15 (NASB) "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),.. "}
(See Also: {Mark 13:14}
Historically, "mankind's very own recorded history" has recorded only one (1) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION that ever occurred historically to date, and such occurred 167 years B.C, before Christ' was even first born. Thus, Logic sides with what is historical.
Matthew 24:15 to-date, remains to be fulfilled, and the Jews have been restored back into their own land since 1948. And in order for Matthew 24:15 to fulfill, the prophecy needs a third Holy temple, which the Jews are now ready to build.
Now some "might" be thinking: Jews will never be able to build their third Holy Temple - Uh-uh, not with the Dome of the Rock standing there on the temple mount.
{Revelation 11:2 NASB "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.}
Leaving out the outer courtyard of the temple means the Jews third Holy Temple could be built without disturbing the Dome of the Rock. Not that we're discussing that's how it's going to happen, but that the Third Holy Temple could Be built without disturbing the Dome of the Rock.
Now Finishing up the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION in question.
Only ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION recorded historically to-date, which “involved” a Gentile entering the (Holy Place-Holy Temple) was committed by a Syrian king named Antiochus Epiphanes.
Antiochus’ further desecration was that he erected a statue of Jupiter Olympus in the Holy of Holies to sacrifice a pig upon the altar, desecrating it with the pig’s blood.
Antiochus, committed this ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, 167 years B.C. (before Christ was even born, before Christ’s first coming).
Furthermore, Antiochus committed this ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION 167 years B.C. in the 2nd HOLY TEMPLE-HOLY PLACE, which again was destroyed in AD 70.
Some, love to refer to "Titus" as being {Matthew 24:15's} suspect that Titus committed this ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION Christ Predicted.
Mankind's very own recorded history testifies against Titus as being a suspect for both {Matthew 24:15} and {Daniel 9:27}, which is the verse in the book of Daniel the Lord Jesus Christ was referring too in (Matthew 24:15}.
A Historical archive on Titus of the Roman 10th legion declares Titus ordered the 2nd Holy Temple-Holy Place to be spared, but Titus’ order was disobeyed by his Roman soldiers, they instead burnt the 2nd Holy Temple-Holy Place to the ground with many Jews inside in 70 A.D. A
Jewish historian, Joseph, who accompanied Titus in the siege, would have also recorded Titus committing an ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. Joseph didn’t. http://www.templemount.org/destruct2.html
I'd also take a look at {2 Thessalonians 2:1-4} with a focus on {2 Thessalonians 2:4} in regards to an ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION as the "man of lawlessness" (the Antichrist) described in prophecy here {2 Thessalonians 2:4}, won't be sacrificing anything to any god like Antiochus Epiphanes did, but will be claiming himself to be God.
An ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION that mankind's very own recorded history has no record of - just yet. We have recorded History on a Hitler, but Hitler had No temple to sit in. The last one in existence was destroyed in 70 A.D.
Not only do we have "End Time Prophecy Already fulfilled", we also have both "mankind's very own recorded History", and what is "logical" casting in their vote that we are in the very last days.
Yes, we have always had wars, Earthquakes and Famines...etc, but it would be the Wars and Earthquakes, and famine...etc, that would increase like birth pains {Matthew 24:8, Mark 13:8}, after the Jews were already restored back into their own land from their 2nd and final exile, that we were to observe increasing like birth pains.
{Luke 21:11 (NASB) "and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven."}
Still in disbelief? Let's look at another End of the Age prophecy given by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
{Mark 13:19-20 (NASB)" For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will."
"Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. "}
In context with all the End of the Age prophecies given by the Lord Jesus Christ himself in either {Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21} such as: Wars and Rumors of Wars, Great Earthquakes, Famines...etc,
what type of warfare would mankind have to have that could assure "No Life" would be saved. Meaning, No Life at all whatsoever?
Which time in all of "mankind's very own recorded History" would you think "Logic" would cast it's vote toward? Or which Generation would Logic vote for?
Only our current generation has what is called: thermonuclear War.
{Mark 13:30 (NASB)
"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." }
Israel, is ah blossoming, and Israel has been ah blossoming.
Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, to at least obtain all of what Christ himself had stated in His End of the Age prophecies about his Second Coming and then, ask Lord God in spirit and in truth-in prayer; and then have a REAL HONEST GOOD LOOK at your world - Tick-tock.
{Proverbs 8:17 (NASB) "I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.}
{Matthew 7:7 (NASB) "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.}
Detour NOTE: No matter which version of the Holy Bible you use, All Versions deliver the same "Over All Message". :-) Check that out on http://bible.cc An online Parallel Bible. The Holy Spirit making sure all these version did. :-)
Back on track.
Examine mankind's very own recorded History and in being honest in your research, comparing mankind's very own recorded History to all the End Time prophecies of the Holy Bible, which I naturally could not include all here, you'll find yourself not only logically, But In reality, Truthfully right back at - tick-tock. Any which way you'd like to Honestly research in Truth.
{Luke 21:28 (NASB) "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." }
The Lord Jesus Christ's Second Coming is not doomsday.
It's that the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ is to prevent mankind's selfish nature from bringing on a total Doomsday. Right? Right.
It's mankind has run his selfish course. And, that the Earth will be under a New Perfect Management. And I say...
Praise the Lord God forever more!! Lord God "who alone" is worthy of all praise, Honor and Glory in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Our Great God and Savior is surely coming very soon, and sooner than most think!
AMEN.
{Luke 21:34-35 (NASB) "Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.'}
In other words true Christians, be very ready for the rapture (Snatched out of the World)
References to the Rapture, and there are others in our link section. Web Sites dedicated to the Rapture.

The King of Kings and Lord of Lords is coming, period. Awake.
I say, Praise the Lord, all Glory is God's In Jesus' name. Amen!
