24. Quest. What the abomination of desolation is, mentioned v. 11.

1. Hierome and Theodoret vnderstand hereby the discontinuing of the true seruice of God by Antichrist at his comming: he shall bring in an horrible desolation, and abolish the true seruice of God: he shall Dei cultum interdicere, forbid the seruice and worship of God: But neither doth this prophecie concerne the ende of the world: nor yet shall there be any such singular Antichrist.

2. Pererius and Pintus, with other Romanists, vnderstand this of the abrogating of the sacrifice of the Masse, and in stead thereof Antichrist shall command himselfe to be wor∣shipped: so also Hug. Card. Antichristus se exhibebit ad adorandum, Antichrist shall cause himselfe to be worshipped. But 1. that idolatrous sacrifice of the Masse, is rather the abo∣mination of desolation it selfe, whereby the true seruice of Christ, and the right vse of the Eucharist according to Christs institution, is abolished: 2. neither shall this abomination be Antichrist himselfe, but he shall set vp this abomination: as it is saide before, c. 11. 31. They shall set vp the abomination, &c. that is, wicked Antiochus with his captaines: he that setteth vp, and that which is set vp, is not the same.

3. Bullinger thinketh it is, abominanda gentis & vrbis vastatio, the abominable laying wast of the nation and citie of the Iewes at the destruction of Ierusalem by the Romans: but this prophesie was rather fulfilled in Antiochus time, as afterward shall be shewed.

4. M. Calvin vnderstandeth the sacrifices of the Iewes, which were abominable, after the sacrifice of Christs death performed vpon the crosse: so also Pëllic. but the daily sacrifice of the Temple was not taken away presently after Christs death.

5. Osiander thinketh this abominable desolation to be the idolatrous seruice brought into the Church by the Romane Antichrist: but then can not the time here described by daies agree: for more then so many daies or moneths, hath the true seruice of God beene corrupted by them: and so many yeares, as here are named daies, God forbid that Antichrists corrupt religion should continue.

6. Wherefore, this abomination which shall be set vp, was no other but the profanation of the Temple by Antiochus, when he caused that abominable idol of Iuppiter Olympius to be brought into the Temple, and the daily sacrifice to cease, 1. Macchab. 1. 57. 2. Macchab. 6. 2. And hereof mention is made before, c. 8. 13. and 11. 31. likewise c. 9. 27. but there the a∣bomination of desolation is spoken of, which should be set vp in the finall destruction of the citie and Temple by the Romanes, as is shewed, c. 9. quest. 88.
