Understanding
the Fall of Jerusalem and the Abomination of Desolation Statements (Koot van Wyk 11th of
June 2016)
Re-reading Ellen White “Jesus
did not answer His disciples by taking up separately the destruction of Jerusalem
and the great day of His coming [B and C]. He mingled [A] the description of these two events. Had He opened to His disciples
future events as He beheld them [B and C], they would have been unable to endure the sight [C]. In mercy to them He blended the
description [A] of the two great
crises, leaving the disciples to study out the meaning for themselves [B,
C, D]…This
entire discourse was given, not for the disciples only, but for those who
should live in the last scenes of this earth’s history” Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, 628
