This week in Alabama woman received a pig kidney transplant. This medical procedure freed her from 8 years of dialysis. A medical miracle, right? Or is it an abomination to The Lord?
When Jesus was speaking to His disciples about the end times He mentioned an 'abomination.' What was that?
“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel - let the reader understand. - Matthew 24:15
He referred to the prophet Daniel here. What did Daniel have to say?
"And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." - Daniel 9:27
At the temple? I have heard Bible experts say that "the abomination that causes desolation" will be the Antichrist sacrificing a pig on the altar in God's rebuilt temple. However, there is no physical temple right now. Nor has the Antichrist made himself known.
Consider this from the Apostle Paul:
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" - 1 Corinthians 6:19
When God gave The Law to Moses back in the day he said this about unclean animals in the Book of Leviticus. Guess what . . .
"And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you." - Leviticus 12:7-8
Sacrificing an unclean animal on something that was clean would definitely be an abomination to God.
Back to the pig/kidney story. So surgeons just "sacrificed" a pig (an abomination to God) and placed its unclean kidney into a human. If this human was a Christian their "temple" (their body) would contain the Holy Spirit. Do you think that might be an abomination to God?
Yeah, I know, I'm stretching things. But it might be wise for us to consider such things. Especially as we see the day aporoaching.
God is the performer of miracles, not man.
I am reminded of Dr. Ian Malcom from the Jurrasic Park movie. He said this about unchecked scientific endeavors:
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should."
