ACC ~ Mark 13 v14a

THE PLACE OF SACRILEGE

ORIGEN: By the holy place is to be understood every saying of divine Scripture spoken by the prophets from Moses onwards, and by the Evangelists and apostles. In this holy place of all the Scriptures, Antichrist, the false Word, has often stood. This is the abomination of desolation. [1] COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW 42. [2]
