The Transgression of Desolation

When understanding the importance of The Law today, we need to understand the Transgression of Desolation that destroys everyone on this Earth. In Scripture, there are two events that occur among mankind, that lead to the Earth’s destruction and the destruction of humanity. They are the Transgression of Desolation and the Abomination of Desolation. Few realize that the Transgression of Desolation and the Abomination of Desolation are two vastly different events. One leads to the other. They are both addressed in Scripture and both combine to destroy the Earth and everyone on it.

First let us define terms:

Transgression Definition:

Main Entry: trans·gres·sion
Pronunciation: -'gre-sh&n
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
: an act, process, or instance of transgressing: as Ua: infringement or violation of a Law, Command, or duty

Abomination Definition:

Main Entry: abom·i·na·tion
Pronunciation: &-"bä-m&-'nA-sh&n
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 : something abominable
2 : extreme disgust and hatred :

The Transgression of Desolation is where mankind abolishes The Law of Yahuah in the “image of the False Messiah”, change Yahuah’s Feasts to pagan holidays, and change Yahuah’s Sabbath to a pagan day of worship. It is this transgression of The Law that leads to the desolation of Earth and everything on it.

The Abomination of Desolation is committed by those who put their Faith in the False Messiah, and elevate an image of a mortal man who died as God in their hearts (Romans 1). The sacrifice of the False Messiah is the most abominable animal to Yahuah defined in His Law … a pig. Those who put their faith in this abominable sacrifice are destroyed; it literally desolates/destroys their body which is the Temple of Yahuah.

One leads to the other! By committing the Transgression of Desolation and abolish His Law, we set ourselves up to be deceived by the False Messiah; by keeping Easter of Passover… we commit the Abomination of Desolation.

Transgression of Desolation vs. the Abomination of Desolation

The Transgression of Desolation is humanity abolishing The Laws of Yahuah. It is this transgression that leads to the total “desolation” of this Earth by Yahuah:

Isaiah 24:1-6

The Earth is polluted by its inhabitants - They have committed the Transgression of Desolation (transgressed the Torah, changed the Holy Feasts to Christopagan Holidays, and broken the Everlasting Covenant of the Sabbath changing it to the pagan day of worship … Sunday) - Therefore the Curse found in the Torah devours the whole Earth, the inhabitants of Earth will be burned up, and few men left.

The “curse” Isaiah is referring to (that destroys the people of Earth), is the curse for “transgressing The Laws of Yahuah”

Deuteronomy 27:26

"Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this Law by carrying them out. "

We see in Revelation 15, the prophecy in Isaiah being fulfilled. We read that the Tabernacles of the Covenant Law is opened inside the Temple of Yahuah to judge the Earth. The Earth is judged for committing the Transgression of Desolation and the Great Tribulation begins:

Revelation 15

⁵After this I looked, and I saw in heaven (there is no Temple on Earth at this time, it has been transposed to heaven) the Temple—that is, the Tabernacle of the Covenant Law—and it was opened (as to judge those on the Earth who have transgressed The Law). ⁶Out of the Temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. ⁷Then one of the four living creatures (John is describing The Heavenly Scroll) gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of Yahuah, who lives forever and ever. ⁸And the Temple was filled with smoke from the Glory of Yahuah and from His Power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

The prophet Daniel speaks of this same event, where the people of Earth commit the Transgression of Desolation by transgressing The Law of Yahuah. We see that the Transgression of Desolation leads later to the Abomination of Desolation. Below is how the Amplified Bible translates Daniel 8 (comments in parenthesis). Remember this is a VISION and should be understood as such and applied Spiritually:

Daniel 8 – Amplified Bible

12 And the host [the body Temple] was given [to the False Messiah] together with the continual [defense provided by Michael as he is being taken away Dan. 12:1 and Rev. 12:7 and 1 Thess. 2:7] because of the transgression of desolation [changing ordained Feasts, changing the Holy Sabbath, and transgressing the Torah]. And Righteousness and truth [of Yahuah defined by His Law] were cast down to the ground, and it [the image of the False Messiah] accomplished this [by Divine permission] and prospered [in the hearts of man as Yahuah gave those who elevated an image of the False Messiah over to a depraved mind … the Spirit of Error]. 13 Then I heard a Holy one [angel] speaking, and another Holy [angel] one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual [defense of Michael being taken away Dan. 12:1 and Rev. 12:7 and 1 Thess. 2:7 that results in the…], the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of both the sanctuary (the Altar of Yahuah/hearts of man) and the host (the human body/Temple of Yahuah…this is the Abomination of Desolation where the sanctuary is desolated by an abominable sacrifice and the body Temple destroyed] to be trampled underfoot? 14 And he said to him and to me, (the duration between the two events are) For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed and restored.

Notice above, Daniel describes the continual defense over Earth provided by the Archangel Michael literally being “taken away” because of the Transgression of Desolation. Earth is left defenseless and per Isaiah 24, literally destroyed, because of the Transgression of Desolation or transgression of The Law of Yahuah.

The problem is, in your English Bible it doesn’t tell you it is Michael that is “removed” and “taken away”, it says sacrifices in italics. This is just one very important example of how bad translation can literally change the meaning of the Bible completely. The word sacrifices, in Daniel 8:12, 13, was NOT in the original Hebrew text, it was ADDED by the translators in error.

What Daniel was referring to, was the continual defense of the Archangel Michael, as I will demonstrate next.

The reason this is extremely important is because Michael is removed or taken away from standing in our defense because humanity has abolished The Law of Yahuah committing the Transgression of Desolation. Allow me to explain…

Hebrew/Aramaic Scriptures vs. English Translations

In your English Bibles, words appear in italics. This is to indicate the word was added by the translators. When the original Bible was translated from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek; the challenge for the translators was to correctly translate these languages into an English “equivalent”. In doing so, they had to make judgment calls where in Hebrew the subject wasn’t specified only implied. The problem is every translator ‘believed’ that “Jesus abolished The Law”! So in their pagan prejudice (they were all Hellenized Greeks and Jews), they took liberty to ensure the truth was hidden and ‘their’ existing pagan religion was secure. As I will demonstrate, these translators did not always make the correct assumptions. These translators were uninspired pagan scribes and translators not guided by the Spirit of Yahuah.

English Words ADDED to the Book of Daniel

In the book of Daniel, the word “sacrifice” was added to the King James Version (and every later version) in VERY important passages of Scripture which define the signs and cause of the Great Tribulation and the duration between major end events.

In Daniel, the word “sacrifice” was added after the Hebrew word tamiyd, which was translated “daily” giving us “daily sacrifices”. The original text did not specify what was implied by the word tamiyd (itself mistranslated as daily) so the English translators assumed the original text was implying “sacrifice” based on Daniel 9:27; when the proper reference is Daniel 12:1:

Daniel 12:1
"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise (and be removed or taken away by Yahuah because of the Transgression of Desolation). There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered.

Below are the Scriptures where the word tamiyd, translated daily, was used and the word “sacrifice” was added by the English translators assuming “sacrifice” was the proper implication of tamiyd. NOTE: the word “sacrifice” is in ITALICS in most Bibles which means the word was added and not originally in the text:

Daniel 8:11-14
¹⁰ And it (the False Messiah) waxed great, even to the Host of heaven (Angelic Realm); and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. ¹¹ Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the Host (Michael the Archangel), and by Him (Yahuah) the daily sacrifice (sacrifice was added) was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
¹² And an Host (Michael) was given him against the daily sacrifice (sacrifice was added) by reason of transgression (of The Law), and it cast down the truth (of Yahuah’s Word) to the ground (abolished it); and it practiced, and prospered (in abolishing The Law of Yahuah). ¹³ Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice (sacrifice was added) and the Transgression of Desolation, to give both the sanctuary (the heart/mind of man) and the host (the body) to be trodden under foot?

Daniel 12:11
¹¹ And from the time that the daily sacrifice (sacrifice was added) shall be taken away, and the Abomination of Desolation set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

In every case, we just read the word sacrifice that was not in the Hebrew texts, it was added by the translators. What was taken away per Daniel 12:1, was Michael, but “daily Michael” doesn’t make any sense. That is because the translators mistranslated the Hebrew word tamiyd as” daily” when it actually means “continual” as in the continual defense Michael provides over Earth.

Hebrew Word translated “Daily” mistranslated

In Daniel, as we just reviewed, only the word “tamiyd” occurred in the original text. The word is translated “daily” and the word “sacrifice” was added in English to try and clarify what Daniel implied by the word tamiyd giving us “daily sacrifices” which is a mistranslation.

Below is the actual word translated as “daily” in English from the Strong’s Concordance:

8548

tamiyd
taw-meed'

from an unused root meaning to stretch out; properly, continuance (as indefinite extension); but used only (attributively as adjective) constant (or adverbially, constantly);

So, the word “tamiyd” is an adjective used to modify a noun, but the noun is missing in Hebrew. The word tamiyd means; to stretch out as an indefinite extension, stretch out continually or constantly. It doesn’t mean “daily” as translated, but “continual” as in defense.

The key is to try and determine what noun was implied by Daniel when he used the adjective “tamiyd”. Was it the “sacrifice” that was implied as the English translators assumed? Or was it something else? Could it be that what was removed was the continual DEFENSE of the Holy People provided by Michael the Archangel?

Yes, Daniel answered that question in Daniel Chapter 12 verse 1.

The word “tamiyd” should have been translated as “continual defense” not “daily”; as it refers to Michael who continually stretches out in defense over the people of Earth.

The translators determined it was the “daily sacrifice” based on Daniel 9:27. This was a grave error on the part of the translators as we will see.

Proper Implication of “Tamiyd” is Michael not Sacrifices

EVERY verse in Daniel listed above is in context speaking of the Archangel Michael, the Prince of the Angelic Host, the Commander of the Angelic Host, being taken away by Yahuah as a result of the Transgression of Desolation.

The translators should have let Scripture interpret Scripture and, if they did so, they would have realized Daniel specifically stated it was Michael that was removed in Daniel 12:1. Daniel specifically named Michael as Israel’s defender:

Daniel 10
²¹ But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth (as in continually in defense) with me against these, but Michael your prince

Therefore, the proper implication is that the “continual defense” of the Holy People provided by Michael the Archangel will be “taken away” because of the Transgression of Desolation… not the daily sacrifice.

Daniel 12 specifically answers this question and identifies that it is Michael that is taken away. Sha’ul confirmed it was Michael (the restrainer) that is taken away in 2 Thessalonians. John confirmed it is Michael that is taken away in Revelation 12 as Michael is no longer on Earth but waging a war in Heaven.

Daniel 12
12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise (from providing a continual defense of Earth and go to wage war in Heaven against Lucifer, see Rev. 12). There will be a time of distress (because Earth is left defenseless because of the Transgression of Desolation) such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

The Apostle Sha’ul discusses this exact event described by Daniel:

2 Thessalonians 2
³Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion (against The Law or Transgression of Desolation) occurs and the man of Lawlessness (or man in whom The Law is abolished) is revealed (to be the False Messiah), the man doomed to destruction. ⁴He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in Yahuah’s Temple (in the heart/mind of man), proclaiming himself to be God. ⁵Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? ⁶And now you know (it was common knowledge that Michael was the protecting angel over Israel see Daniel 10:21) what is holding him back (they knew it was Michael), so that he may be revealed at the proper time. ⁷For the secret power of Lawlessness (breaking The Law of Yahuah) is already at work; but the one (Michael) who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way (because of the Transgression of Desolation). ⁸And then the Lawless one (the one in whom The Law was abolished) will be revealed (by Yahusha as the False Messiah), whom the Messiah Yahusha will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. ⁹The coming of the Lawless one (the one in whom The Law is abolished) will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, ¹⁰and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth (of the Torah) and so be saved. ¹¹For this reason (because they committed the Transgression of Desolation and abolished His Law) Yahuah sends them a powerful delusion (depraved mind or Spirit of Error) so that they will believe the lie (that Jesus, the False Messiah, abolished The Law) ¹²and so that all will be condemned (by The Law not being covered by the blood of the Passover Lamb because they put their faith in Easter Jesus) who have not believed the truth (Yahusha did not abolish The Law) but have delighted in wickedness (transgression of His Law).

If the translators would have been true to Scripture, and let Scripture define itself, and used the proper meaning of tamiyd; then this is how Daniel should read:

Daniel 8:11-14
¹⁰ And it (the False Messiah) waxed great, even to the host of heaven (angelic realm); and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. ¹¹ Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host (Michael the Archangel), and by Him (Yahuah) the continual defense stretched out over Earth provided by Michael was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary (the mind of man) was cast down (and darkened to believe a lie). ¹² Because of rebellion (against The Law of Yahuah), Yahuah’s people and the continual defense provided by Michael were given over to it. It (the False Messiah) prospered in everything it did, and truth (Yahuah’s Word) was thrown to the ground (and abolished).
¹³ Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the end of the continual defense of Michael and the Transgression of Desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

Daniel 12:11
¹¹ And from the time that the continual defense provided by Michael shall be taken away (because of the Transgression of Desolation), and the Abomination of Desolation set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Daniel goes on to say that it is only once the Transgression of Desolation is complete (transgressors reach their fullness) that the False Messiah is revealed (stands up) and the Abomination of Desolation is set up:

Daniel 8
23And at the latter end of their [4th] kingdom, when the transgressors [the apostate people of Yahuah who committed the Transgression of Desolation causing the Great Tribulation] have reached the fullness [of their wickedness, taxing the limits of Yahuah's mercy], a [shadow] king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness shall stand up [in the Holy Sanctuary and commit the Abomination of Desolation].

I have covered this in detail in my book, The Antichrist Revealed! where I have fully explained in detail what I am introducing here in this chapter.

I just wanted to quickly illustrate that it is the abolishment of The Law called the Transgression of Desolation that literally causes the Great Tribulation and the destruction of Earth.
