THE CONSUMMATION OF THE AGE, AND THE ABOMINATION OF THE DESOLATION THEN. There is to be adduced what the Lord says, (1) Concerning the "abomination of the desolation";

(2) What He says [of vastation];

(3) What the Lord says concerning the "affliction";

(4) That "no flesh can be saved";

(5) Concerning the "darkening of the sun and moon";

(6) The things which are declared in Revelation:

Behold, I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold I am He that liveth unto the ages of the ages (Rev. 1:18; also 2:8; and 5:6). And again, what the Lord said in John:

The night cometh when no man can work (John 9:4). In that night there shall be two men in one bed (Luke 17:34). Further, what the Lord said in John (21:18), concerning Peter; also, what Paul said concerning the last times (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; 4:3, 4). There shall be explained what the Lord says (Matt. 24:27), that this took place on the day of the Last Judgment; also, what He says (Matt. 24:30-31). That this actually has taken place, see True Christian Religion, n. 791.
