Starting with Isaiah 66:1 and reading through the chapter, one might consider the reason behind the Abomination of Desolation: The Jews are reverting to the old practice of sacrificing animals- when in actuality, the Mosaic Law was fulfilled in the [[Atonement]] of [[Christ]]. The Jews have denied Christ and are worshiping in the newly rebuilt [[temple]]. In other words, God is using the Antichrist to punish the people for denying his Son, Jesus Christ.

Interestingly, [[Numbers|Arabic numbers]] (1,2,3,4,5,6...) were not added in the Bible until the invention of the [[printing press]], but the letters of Roman numerals were the standard form of numbers in hand copied western manuscripts (I,II,III,IV,V, VI.../ i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi...), and later for chapter number headings in printed books, for example in older King James Bibles printed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and in tables of content in books and for designating major headings in outlines of written material. In Hebrew and Greek Bibles, all the letters of the alphabet−which also have numerical values−are used as chapter and verse numbers.
