There's nothing wrong with jmfcst's taste in reading material, it's just his excessively narrow interpretation that's problematic.
if Jesus said the "abomination of desolation" will be set up in Jerusalem and hereld the end of the age and the Second Coming, then that is exactly what is going to occur.
why does that even need an interpretation? Are you confused exactly what the "abomination of desolation" will be? So am I, but just because we don't current know what it is going to be, doesn't mean it aint gonna happen just as he said it would.
so, that is just it - I haven't "interpreted" anything, I've just been letting the word speak for itself
Interpretation comes in assuming that the State of Israel has anything to do with the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy that is referred to in Matthew and Mark.
