The Lord Yeshua did not say that the desolating sacrilege would stand in the TEMPLE. Rather, He said that it would stand in the Holy Place; or, as recorded in Mark, where it ought not to stand9. But it is His cryptic saying of “... let the reader UNDERSTAND...” which really provokes us to discover what exactly He meant.
We must go back to the days of Solomon, right
after the completion of the Temple he built unto G-d according to the precise
instructions his father David had received from G-d and passed on to him,
his son. We find Solomon kneeling before the altar of G-d, with hands outstretched
toward heaven, offering prayer and supplication to the Lord on behalf of
this house and on behalf of the whole assembly of the house of Israel,
whom he had blessed and who now stood with him while he prayed10:
Then the Lord appeared to Solomon and answered
him in respect to his prayer11:
Y (Click on the picture above, it will take you to a model of the Temple and Jerusalem in the days of Messiah).
It is due to Solomon’s prayer, and G-d’s answer to his prayer, that all the congregations of Israel, and all Jews, face eastward when praying, as well as all the synagogues, regardless of the land in which they stand.
Although the Temple (Beit HaMikdash) has become a heap of ruins, as G-d warned would happen in the case of apostasy12, He has never relocated the Holy and Most Holy Place!
The Holy, and the Most Holy Place of the Temple are still in the place where they have always been! Invisible, but present all the same!
For this reason the rabbis do not go up onto the
Temple Mount lest they inadvertently step upon the Holy, or Most Holy Place.
