Peace in Christ.
“Whoso reads, let him understand” is a major hint to what the “abomination of desolation” is....and it is something that causes the glory of God to depart...leaving it desolate.
Mat 24:15-16 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
Jesus is pointing us back to Daniel who could “READ the writing” and who could “make known” (understand) the interpretation of the handwriting on the wall found in Daniel 5.
Dan 5:17 KJV
(17) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
God shows us what the abomination of desolation is by His “meme” (so-to-speak) of man’s decreed handwritings that appeared to king Belshazzar. It is man’s handwritings of ordinances/dogmas. “Dogmas”= “what one THINKS is true”…or “something that seems true”. That is similar language we find in every “statement of faith”.
Men rejoice (drink wine) and praise their “gods”….their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas that they use to judge others with.
Dan 5:4-5 KJV
(4) They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
The fingers of a MAN”S HAND came forth and wrote against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s “palace”…that is, the TEMPLE.
A man’s handwriting of decreed, codified ordinances/dogmas is found in the King’s (God’s) temple….in the holy place of our gatherings of the worship of God. It should not be found standing there.
It is against/opposite the Light of the knowledge of God…as the handwriting was wrote over “against the
candlestick” that is within us.
The “wall” is the word “kethal”: (Chaldee); corresponding to the Hebrew word “kôthel” - wall.
The corresponding Hebrew word “kôthel” is from an unused root meaning “to compact”; a wall (as gathering inmates): - wall.
In other words, the “wall” is used for a compact “gathering” of people/inmates. It is found upon the plaster (that burns) of the gathering of people in the King’s temple…the holy place where people are gathered to worship God.
(5) In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
What did Ezekiel see in the Temple of God? He found every form of creeping things and abominable beasts and all the idols of the house of Israel portrayed upon the wall round about.
Eze 8:9-10 KJV
(9) And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
(10) So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
These are IMAGES of the outside nations… the church handwritings of ordinances written by the church scribes (fingers of man's hands) that are patterned after the outside world’s documents. The “birds and fourfooted beasts and creeping things” are symbolic of the nations around us who do not know God but are instinctive like the beasts of the earth. They do not have His Spirit within them but are earthly and behave with animalistic beasts.....seeking after food and water and sensual things only.
Yet the glory of God is being “changed” by the churches of men into their handwritings. They choose handwritings instead of the glory of GOd.
And so the glory of God has left that gathering in His name because of the handwritings being found there….just as the glory of God departed from the temple in Ezekiel.
Rom 1:22-23 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
We must understand what the “abomination of desolation” is: the glory of God has departed from that “church” gathering where the image …the handwriting of ordinances…is standing where it ought not be. We are to flee to the "mountains" of His righteousness....where the glory of God stands upon.
Eze 11:23 KJV
(23) And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Some items…the golden vessels…were taken out of the temple of the house of God. In other words, men have taken some of His commandments out of the Scriptures and have incorporated them into their handwritings. Desiring to be teachers of the Law, they had “trespassed” into the Scriptures and have taken some of the commandments (without understanding them) and have placed them into their handwritings to keep and serve…and rejoice in it.
Dan 5:3 KJV
(3) Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
