I just read this morning that homosexuals have marched in Jerusalem! could this be another biblical sign of our Lord coming soon? The bible warns of moral decline that effects the Holy Land as well...could this be it?

read this news link:

could this be a foreshadowing of the "abomination that causes desolation"? Homosexuality is called an abomination in scripture and it causes desolation because there can be no offspring ( no bearing of fruit). Now that it has spread to the Holy Land...what do you all think???

I am not sure but it sounds like a reference to Rev 11:8 - "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
Here Jerusalem is referred to as being called spiritual Sodom and Egypt.

But Rev 11:8 is talking about the two witnesses. Not homesexuals.

The 'abomination that causes desolation' will be set up. How can "homosexuality" be set up? It can't. It must refer to one thing & someone who actually sets it up in the holy temple. Many experts believe this refers to the Antichrist & perhaps setting up a statue of himself? When Jesus talks about it, He's referring people back to Daniel, where it's first mentioned. Here are some sites to check it what some experts think:

Regardless of what people think, homosexuality will not be the cause of the world's destruction. Rolling Eyes

I view the abomination that causes Desolation as
The antichrist Sacrifices a pig which is an Abomination for the Jews, and The desolation that is caused is when he sets a Statue of himself up and claims to be God.

Well, Its one thing to Sacrifice a Pig in the temple. Its a whole other thing to put a statue of yourself in the Temple and Call yourself God. See where i am going with this? And the guy who was the Pre-antichrist Did the sacrificing of the Pig. He was a Greek general.
