Scripture was written before that happened. Seriously, do you think there has been a greater sin than murdering the son of God?
that isn't the point if the scriptures do not say that then it is an added interpretation not to mention that revelation says the abomination that causes desolation is the man of sin coming into the third temple and declaring he is God

So all your doing is adding your own intepretation to the scriptures

No, the temple of the Lord was transferred from that made with Human hands to that in the human heart.
Jesus was and is the temple of God.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. John 2:19-21

What you requested actually is stated in scripture, but possibly not as explicitly as you want/need

But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him]. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Matthew 21:37-41
Does scripture really say "the abomination that causes desolation is the man of sin coming into the third temple and declaring he is God" or is that your intrpretation?

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed. / He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God


The Abomination of Desolation
(Mark 13:14–23; Luke 21:20–24)

15So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’a spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. 18And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

This is just a little of what is spoken about the abomination that causes desolation none of it speaks of Christ being it

Eze 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Eze 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Eze 38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Eze 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Eze 39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Eze 39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Eze 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

This does not happen until the 7 years period is over which the 7 years period is the time God gives the world their way for 7 years to cause all people that do not love Him to follow the antichrist and when they do He will end sin on earth.

This is known as the battle of Armageddon that is part of the wrath of God that happens after the 7 years period is over which is when He ends sin on earth.

The wrath of God is not in the 7 years period because He is giving the world 7 years to have their way and rebel against Him because He will not give up the world until they give up on Him.

The first three and one half years salvation is available to the world so the wrath of God would not be there.

The beast has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and has power to continue for the last three and one half years which he can only have that power if God allowed him to have it so the wrath of God would not be there.

This war is part of the wrath of God so it is after the 7 years period.

Joe 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Joe 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head.

Joe 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
Joe 3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joe 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Joe 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

The same here the battle of Armageddon.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:5 and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

The same here the battle of Armageddon.

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The same here the battle of Armageddon.

Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

The wrath of God is after the 7 years period and Armageddon is part of the wrath of God and Ezekiel 38 and 39 is the battle of Armageddon so it it after the 7 years period.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

The woman is Israel which she is protected for the 7 years period and Ezekiel 38 and 39 is the world attacking Israel so it cannot happen in the 7 years period.

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

This Peace and safety happens at the beginning of the 7 years period as the world starts its process of going against the operation of God on earth.

This sudden destruction that comes upon them is not coming from God but from people that have the plan of power and control hidden behind the agenda of peace but they want population reduction, and chaos so the world will accept the antichrist.

When the nations governments agree to a one world government anyone that tries to back out will have the world breathing down their neck which an example is the Arabs rebel against the operation of the world saying it is an insult to Allah and the Arab nations are devastated by nuclear weapons the 6th trumpet which causes the world to accept the antichrist as the solution for peace.

Also the devils will be able to influence mankind more which they will wreck havoc.

The antichrist by peace will destroy many who is Satan inhabiting a human body.

Ezekiel 38 does not happen during the 7 years period.

You're making an assumption that those two verses are referring to the same thing. I don't see it. The first verse IMO is referring to the first century, whereas the 2nd verse is referring to Christ's return at least 2000 years later.

I already told you. I think they are separated by at least 2000 years. Jesus was speaking directly to his disciples about the prophesied abomination of desolation, whatever that was, and told them to flee when they saw it. Paul is talking about something altogether different IMO

ok then lets say they are and your correct do you see at least that when the abomination of desolation is spoken of it has nothing to do with Christ? do you see his crucifiction mentioned anywhere? Did Christ go into the temple and declare himself to be above all other gods? was he warning them of himself?

A big part of what makes me believe the abomination of desolation refers to the murder of the son of God is this Daniel prophecy refering to the coming messiah

And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one [ie, Christ] shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint [the city] to desolations. And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and upon the temple [will be] the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation. Daniel 9:26-27 (LXX)

In Matthew 24 Jesus said to think about Daniel when concerning the Desolation.

What does Daniel say it is?

11 And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up.

Daniel says it's when burnt offering is taken away which is done in the Temple.

Which happened at the cross, the final burnt offering
