Dr. Couch, is there confusion about Matthew 24:15 and the Abomination of Desolation, and the issue of Antiochus in Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11?
ANSWER: Not really if one reads carefully and slowly, and looks closely to the contexts. Remember the rules: context, context, context, and, observe, observe, observe! Even the amillennialists basically agree on this issue. Daniel 9:27 and 12:11 has to do with the future when the antichrist enters the temple and proclaims himself as God. This is repeated in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5. However, even amil. Ellicott gets it straight, though he becomes somewhat confused on 12:11 in regard to Antiochus. Ellicott gets 2 Thess. 2:3-on correct and assigns it to the antichrist. For those who want to get it all straight, you need Dr. Paul Benware's great commentary on Daniel "Things to Come" which Scofield produced. It's for a donation of $15 to Scofield Ministries. So many have been purchased, we are getting low on the volume. If you want it you need to respond quickly. Mail the donation check to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634. FAST!
