CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 9, 2022
I’VE TOUCHED ON THIS SUBJECT BEFORE BUT IT’S WORTH RE-VISITING GIVEN ALL THAT IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE AND OTHER PLACES.
WHAT DID WE EXPECT “THE END TIMES” TO LOOK LIKE? JESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS, EARTHQUAKES, FAMINES AND THE JAILING OF HIS FOLLOWERS. AND YET THESE ARE ONLY PREVIEWS OF COMING ATTRACTIONS.
WHAT ABOUT THE PART OF SCRIPTURE THAT SPEAKS OF THE ABOMINATION IN THE PLACE OF DESOLATION AND THE ANTI-CHRIST WHOSE NAME EQUALS 666? BIBLICAL SCHOLARS HAVE YET TO FIGURE THESE OUT, THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN MUCH SPECULATION OVER THE YEARS.
THE WORD “ABOMINATION” IS USED MANY TIMES IN THE SCRIPTURE. ONE DEFINITION ISTHIS: “THAT WHICH IS EXCEPTIONALLY LOATHSOME, HATEFUL, SINFUL, WICKED OR VILE.”
WE CAN COME UP WITH MANY EXAMPLES OF BEHAVIOR THAT FITS THOSE DESCRIPTIONS. THEY INCLUDE ABORTION, THE LGBTQI-PLUS AGENDA, THE INCREASING USE OF BLASPHEMIES IN ENTERTAINMENT AND MORE.
WE ARE TOLD THAT THE FINAL ACT BEFORE THE RETURN OF CHRIST IS THAT THE GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THEN THE END WILL COME. THE INTERNET HAS MADE THAT POSSIBLE. WE ARE ONE DAY CLOSER. EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
