2 Chronicles 15:2

15:2 He met ¹  Asa and told him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The Lord is with you when you are loyal to him. ²  If you seek him, he will respond to you, ³  but if you reject him, he will reject you.

Daniel 8:11-13

8:11 It also acted arrogantly against the Prince of the army, ⁴  from whom ⁵  the daily sacrifice was removed and whose sanctuary ⁶  was thrown down. 8:12 The army was given over, ⁷  along with the daily sacrifice, in the course of his sinful rebellion. ⁸  It hurled ⁹  truth ¹⁰  to the ground and enjoyed success. ¹¹ 

8:13 Then I heard a holy one ¹²  speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, “To what period of time does the vision pertain – this vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the destructive act of rebellion and the giving over of both the sanctuary and army to be trampled?”

Daniel 9:27

9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. ¹³ 

But in the middle of that week

he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.

On the wing ¹⁴  of abominations will come ¹⁵  one who destroys,

until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”

Daniel 12:11

12:11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set in place, ¹⁶  there are 1,290 days.

Matthew 24:1-2

The Destruction of the Temple

24:1 Now ¹⁷  as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings. ¹⁸  24:2 And he said to them, ¹⁹  “Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, ²⁰  not one stone will be left on another. ²¹  All will be torn down!” ²² 

Luke 21:24

21:24 They ²³  will fall by the edge ²⁴  of the sword and be led away as captives ²⁵  among all nations. Jerusalem ²⁶  will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. ²⁷ 

Acts 6:13-14

6:13 They brought forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop saying things against this holy place ²⁸  and the law. ²⁹  6:14 For we have heard him saying that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and change the customs ³⁰  that Moses handed down to us.”

Hebrews 10:26

10:26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, ³¹ 

[15:2]  ¹ tn Heb “went out before.”

[15:2]  ² tn Heb “when you are with him.”

[15:2]  ³ tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”

[8:11]  ⁴ sn The prince of the army may refer to God (cf. “whose sanctuary” later in the verse) or to the angel Michael (cf. 12:1).

[8:11]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps “and by him,” referring to Antiochus rather than to God.

[8:11]  ⁶ sn Here the sanctuary is a reference to the temple of God in Jerusalem.

[8:12]  ⁷ tc The present translation reads וּצְבָאָהּ נִתַּן (utsÿva’ah nittan) for the MT וְצָבָא תִּנָּתֵן (vÿtsava’ tinnaten). The context suggests a perfect rather than an imperfect verb.

[8:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “in (the course of) rebellion.” The meaning of the phrase is difficult to determine. It could mean “due to rebellion,” referring to the failures of the Jews, but this is not likely since it is not a point made elsewhere in the book. The phrase more probably refers to the rebellion against God and the atrocities against the Jews epitomized by Antiochus.

[8:12]  ⁹ tc Two medieval Hebrew MSS and the LXX have a passive verb here: “truth was hurled to the ground” (cf. NIV, NCV, TEV).

[8:12]  ¹⁰ sn Truth here probably refers to the Torah. According to 1 Macc 1:56, Antiochus initiated destruction of the sacred books of the Jews.

[8:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “it acted and prospered.”

[8:13]  ¹² sn The holy one referred to here is presumably an angel. Cf. 4:13[10], 23 [20].

[9:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).

[9:27]  ¹⁴ tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.

[9:27]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[12:11]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to give.”

[24:1]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[24:1]  ¹⁸ sn The Jerusalem temple was widely admired around the world. See Josephus, Ant. 15.11 [15.380-425]; J. W. 5.5 [5.184-227] and Tacitus, History 5.8, who called it “immensely opulent.” Josephus compared it to a beautiful snowcapped mountain.

[24:2]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (ajpokriqei") is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[24:2]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[24:2]  ²¹ sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

[24:2]  ²² tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

[21:24]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ²⁴ tn Grk “by the mouth of the sword” (an idiom for the edge of a sword).

[21:24]  ²⁵ sn Here is the predicted judgment against the nation until the time of Gentile rule has passed: Its people will be led away as captives.

[21:24]  ²⁶ tn Grk “And Jerusalem.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ²⁷ sn Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled implies a time when Israel again has a central role in God’s plan.

[6:13]  ²⁸ sn This holy place is a reference to the temple.

[6:13]  ²⁹ sn The law refers to the law of Moses. It elaborates the nature of the blasphemy in v. 11. To speak against God’s law in Torah was to blaspheme God (Deut 28:15-19). On the Jewish view of false witnesses, see Exod 19:16-18; 20:16; m. Sanhedrin 3.6; 5.1-5. Stephen’s speech in Acts 7 may indicate why the temple was mentioned.

[6:14]  ³⁰ tn Or “practices.”

[10:26]  ³¹ tn Grk “is left,” with “for us” implied by the first half of the verse.
