Abominación desoladora
The phrase "abominación desoladora" (abomination of desolation) in Ellen White's writings is primarily discussed in the context of prophetic events, especially the destruction of Jerusalem and end-time scenarios. Here are the main points from her works: 1. **Dual Fulfillment of Prophecy**: Ellen White teaches that Jesus' prophecy about the "abomination of desolation" and the judgments on Jerusalem also point to a greater, future fulfillment. The destruction of Jerusalem is seen as a type or shadow of the final destruction that will come upon the world for rejecting God's mercy and law. - “The Saviour's prophecy concerning the visitation of judgments upon Jerusalem is to have another fulfillment, of which that terrible desolation was but a faint shadow. In the fate of the chosen city we may behold the doom of a world that has rejected God's mercy and trampled upon His law.” (GC 36.2; also GC88 37.1) 2. **Results of Rejection and Idolatry**: The "abomination" is often linked to idolatry, corruption, and the rejection of God's authority, which leads to desolation and destruction. - “They had erected altars in groves, and consecrated them to their idols, whereon they offered human sacrifices. These which God detested were torn down in his wrath before them, and they were made to tremble before the power of the living God... it was their abominations and horrible, idolatrous sacrifices, which had called for their destruction.” (3SG 69.2; 1SP 74.1) 3. **End-Time Application**: Ellen White describes a future time when the restraining Spirit of God will be withdrawn, and the world will experience the full results of Satan's rule—this is described as a time of great desolation, worse than anything in the past. - “But a scene yet darker is presented in the revelations of the future... what are these, in contrast with the terrors of that day when the restraining Spirit of God shall be wholly withdrawn from the wicked, no longer to hold in check the outburst of human passion and satanic wrath! The world will then behold, as never before, the results of Satan's rule.” (GC 36.2) **Summary**: Ellen White uses the concept of the "abominación desoladora" to refer to both historical and future events marked by idolatry, rejection of God, and resulting in terrible destruction and desolation. The destruction of Jerusalem is a type, and the final desolation at the end of time is the antitype.
