Eschatology, the Abomination of Desolation, Advent, and the Second Coming of Christ

About this sermon

In this powerful homily for the Last Sunday After Pentecost, we reflect deeply on Christ’s prophetic words in Matthew 24 regarding the Abomination of Desolation, the end times, the final tribulation, and the Second Coming (Parousia) of Our Lord. As we approach Advent, the Church invites us to prepare our hearts not only for Christ’s birth in Bethlehem, but also for His glorious return at the end of time. Father explains the biblical and historical meaning of the abomination of desolation as foretold by the prophet Daniel, recounting its fulfillment in the desecration of the Jewish Temple by Antiochus IV Epiphanes and later by the Romans in 70 A.D. He then connects these events to the spiritual crises and Eucharistic profanations present in our own age. This homily exposes the dangers of false prophets, false Christs, doctrinal confusion, and religious deception—warnings that Jesus Himself emphasized. We are reminded that although signs will precede Christ’s return, no one knows the day or the hour of the final coming. The message concludes by urging us to spiritual vigilance, fidelity to Scripture and Tradition, and preparation for both the Last Judgment and our personal judgment after death. As Advent approaches, may we deepen our faith and remain steadfast in hope. 0:00 – Introduction 0:26 – Last Sunday After Pentecost explained 0:37 – Advent and preparation for Christ’s coming 1:01 – Eschatological teaching of Jesus 1:37 – Matthew 24 and signs of the end 2:39 – The Abomination of Desolation 3:25 – Daniel’s prophecy overview 3:50 – Antiochus IV and temple profanation 4:24 – Roman destruction of the Temple (70 A.D.) 5:07 – The meaning of idolatry in the holy place 5:34 – Modern profanations and parallels 6:00 – Reverence for the Holy Eucharist 6:43 – Sacrilegious communions and reflection 7:02 – Not the exact final sign but a warning 7:20 – Religious deception in the last days 7:35 – False Christs & false prophets 8:02 – Great signs and wonders deceiving many 8:16 – Days shortened for the elect 8:24 – Doctrinal confusion in our age 9:00 – Holy Scripture and Tradition as safeguards 9:20 – Persecution and chastisements 9:46 – The sign of the Son of Man in heaven 9:54 – The Holy Cross appears 10:06 – Christ returning to judge 10:23 – No one knows the day or hour 10:59 – Purpose of the signs: spiritual vigilance 11:43 – Reflection on the Last Judgment 12:00 – Universal judgment explained 12:53 – Personal judgment after death 13:36 – Advent as spiritual preparation 14:20 – Heaven and earth will pass away 14:47 – Conforming ourselves to Christ 15:00 – Closing prayer & dedication to Mary For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
