I’ve posted on my personal blog lesson 21 of the New Testament Gospel Doctrine class.
It discusses Matthew 24 on the signs of the times. I go in depth on the Abomination of Desolation, sharing quotes from Josephus regarding the 70AD siege on Jerusalem that ended up killing over one million Jews. It is not a story for the faint-hearted, as it contains mobs, rape, murder, suicide, and even cannibalism!
Read it there, and comment on it here!
