So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand- then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak…….

“The abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” is the event Jesus told us to watch out for, and it will happen suddenly. There have always been wars and famines etc but this event is the start of the end times and the start of the tribulation.
1844 for the SDA’s and 1914 for the JW’s were false alarms but I think they helped wake people up. The problem with false alarms though is that if the date comes and Armageddon doesn’t happen people loose their faith.
Jesus said you don’t know the day nor the hour. He didn’t say “check out the prophet Daniel and work out the Date”. He told us to check out the prophet Daniel to know what the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” is. This event is yet future.
