Your House is Left to You

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling! See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me again until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' " (Luke 13:34,35)

"For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them." (2 Peter 2:20-22)

desolate - depopulate; to forsake or abandon (WCD)

There is the abomination of desolation, where the man of sin sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Satan's fate is sealed. None of those who follow him, purposefully or ignorantly, can possibly know what destruction awaits. If they did, they would not. But, your house is left to you! Allow God to dwell richly in His temple through the holy commandment, by the way of righteousness.

"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." 

(Revelation 19:10) Holy men of God live to bring this requirement to the churches. You will see Him, again and again, when you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
