'THE DISGUSTING THING IS PUT IN PLACE'

When the end of the second world war was in sight, another development occurred, just as God's angel had foretold.  "They will certainly put in place the disgusting thing that is causing desolation." (Daniel 11:31b)  Jesus had also spoken of "the disgusting thing."  In the first century, it proved to be the Roman army that came  to Jerusalem in 66 C.E. to put down Jewish rebellion. -Matthew 24:15; Daniel 9:27.

What  "disgusting thing" has been "put in place" in modern times? Apparently, it is a "disgusting " counterfeit of God's Kingdom. This was the League of Nations, the scarlet-colored wild beast that went into the abyss, or ceased to exist as a world-peace organization, when World War II erupted.  (Revelation 17:8)  "The wild beast," however, was "to ascend out of the abyss."  This it did when the United Nations, with 50 member nations including the former Soviet Union, was established on October 24, 1945.  Thus "the disgusting thing" foretold by the angel-The United Nation- was put in place.

Germany had been a leading enemy of the king of the south during both world wars and had occupied the position of the king of the north. Who would be next in that position?
