Let the Reader Understand
Therefore, when you see the "abomination of desolation," spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Matthew 24:15-16

Daniel 9:24-27 ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%209:24-27&version=NKJV )
Many Bible readers are troubled by this passage because Jesus warns us to understand His words, yet they are mysterious. He's referring to an event in the future, when an abominable image will be erected in the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. It's called the abomination of desolation, and it's going to trigger the horrific three-and-a-half years of Great Tribulation.
The prophet Daniel mentions this disgusting image in chapters 9, 11, and 12 of his book; Paul makes reference to it in 2 Thessalonians, as does John in Revelation 13. One day in the future, the Antichrist will desecrate the rebuilt Jewish temple with a vile image, setting in motion the events of the Great Tribulation.
Satan isn't waiting until then, however, to lead multitudes of people into idolatry. An idol isn't necessarily a statue or image; it's anything that we love more than we love Jesus Christ. Both now and then, both sooner and later, Jesus Christ must be the unrivaled Lord of our hearts.
Let Him rule and reign without equal in the temple of your life today.
Let Jesus be first and uppermost in thought and life and let all other things trail on after.
