Dear Elders, 

I am writing to share a serious scriptural concern about what I believe is presently fulfilling

Matthew 24:15–16 - the “disgusting thing standing in a holy place” — over God’s temple today.

https://pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com/

The “holy place” is the sanctuary of the spiritual temple, the place reserved exclusively for His appointed priests (the anointed remnant). The Scriptures are clear that uncircumcised Gentiles (non-anointed ones) have no right to enter or exercise authority there:

 • Lamentations 1:10 – foreigners enter the sanctuary, those whom God commanded were never to enter.

 • Ezekiel 44:6–16 – the priests allowed uncircumcised foreigners into God’s sanctuary, assigning them duties that belonged only to the covenant priesthood; God condemns this violation, declaring that only His chosen priests may approach Him and serve at His altar. 

• Daniel 11:31-32 – forces profane the sanctuary, remove the regular sacrifice, and set up the abomination that makes desolate, and desolates those in the covenant of promise, unsealed anointed.

The Scriptures also show that this “disgusting thing” is directly connected with idolatry. The Greek word Jesus uses in Matthew 24:15 — βδέλυγμα (bdélygma) — is the same term used in the Greek Septuagint for idols and idolatrous practices. It refers to something utterly detestable because it is a gross misrepresentation of The Living God and profanes the worship of the true God with an image. 

Examples: 

Deuteronomy 29:17 – “ and you saw their abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold” 

1 Kings 11:5,7 – “For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon."

Ezekiel 44:6-9 - “Now say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “O house of Israel, let Us have no more of all your abominations. 7 When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My house—and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations. 8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.” 9 Thus says the Lord God: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel."

Likewise, the Hebrew word used in Daniel for “abomination,” שִׁקּוּץ (shiqqûts), is consistently used for idols, false worship, and images that replace God (e.g., Deuteronomy 29:17; 1 Kings 11:5,7). Therefore, when unauthorized Gentiles are placed with authority over God’s sanctuary, it exalts mere human authority into a role that belongs exclusively to THE GOD, to our High Priest Jesus Christ, and to those He personally appoints by covenant. (Exodus 40:15; Hebrews 5:4) 

Therefore, by putting in place non-anointed men/ elders — the Scriptures treat this not as mere organizational error, but as the ultimate “abomination that causes desolation” — a detestable counterfeit priesthood standing in a holy place. In addition, the idolatry of the organizational "image" declared by the Governing Body as spirit-directed, and by convincing the non-anointed men/ elders they are appointed by Holy Spirit, so now you stand in the place that belongs only to the anointed priesthood.  This is the very “image of the beast” that the book of Revelation warns about.  Revelation 13:14-15

 • Acts 21:28-29 – (Paul accused of bringing Gentiles past the boundary into the temple)

"An elaborate stone balustrade, three cubits high, divided the Court of the Gentiles from the inner courtyard. At regular intervals in this wall stood warnings, some in Greek and some in Latin: ‘Let no foreigner enter inside of the barrier and the fence around the sanctuary. Whosoever is caught will be responsible for his death which will ensue.’" NWT study note.

• Numbers 18:1-7 – (“The outsider who comes near shall be put to death”)

 • 2 Chronicles 23:6-9; Hebrews 4:12-13 – Levites were appointed as guards around the temple complex, but only the Aaronic priests were allowed to enter the sanctuary itself. No outsider or non-priest was permitted to approach the holy place, in harmony with Numbers 18:7.

 • Exodus 40:15 – (Aaron’s sons) “...their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood (םָולֹע תַנֲהֹכְל) throughout their generations.” Refers to Aaronic priesthood as the shadow (Hebrews 8:4-13)

 • Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10 (combined with Revelation 22:5), show that Christ “made us a kingdom and priests to his God and Father” (βασιλείαν καὶ ἱερεῖς). The Greek text uses the noun βασιλεία (“kingdom”), not “kings.” Yet Revelation 5:10 adds that this priestly kingdom “will reign upon the earth”, and Revelation 22:5 confirms that “they will reign forever and ever”.

 The Scriptures, therefore, teach that Christ’s priests form a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), a priestly kingdom whose role includes reigning — because they share in the eternal priesthood of Christ Himself. (Revelation1:6; Revelation 5:10; Hebrews 7)

Jesus’ own priesthood is eternal → His associate priests share the same priesthood. 

• Hebrews7:24-25 – “But he (Jesus) holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.” (ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην) 

• Hebrews 5:6; 7:17,21 - (quoting Psalm 110:4  - “You are a priest forever (εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα), after the order of Melchizedek.”)

 • 1 Peter 2:9 –  (the living stones/anointed by Spirit are called) “a royal priesthood ... that you may proclaim the excellencies of him...” → This is the identical priesthood that Jesus holds forever (Revelation1:6; Revelation 5:10).

Yet today, non-anointed elders have been placed in oversight of the congregations and are granted authority to judge, disfellowship, and expel anointed ones who speak in defense of truth. These anointed Christians are removed from their rightful place in the sanctuary and silenced, while those “of the nations” stand and rule in their stead. Paul wrote that the man of lawlessness “takes his seat in the temple of God”          (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), exalting himself over the anointed and even dominating them.

Revelation 9:7 describes its agents as wearing “what seemed to be crowns like gold” — an imitation priesthood. These are not anointed priests wearing genuine crowns (Revelation4:4), but Gentile impostors ruling over the sanctuary. 

• Daniel 8:11-13 – the little horn magnifies itself to the Prince of the host and removes the regular sacrifice. 

• Daniel 12:11 – from the time the regular sacrifice is removed and the abomination that makes desolate is set up.

• Revelation11:1-2 – the nations trample the holy city, and the courtyard is given to them, but the sanctuary itself is measured.

https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/07/question-hi-pearl-i-have-just-begun-to.html 

• Revelation 13:5-8 – the beast from the sea is given authority to act for 42 months and to make war on the saints and conquer them. 

• Psalm 74:3-8 – the enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary, raising their battle shouts, setting up their own symbols, smashing the carved work with axes and hammers, and finally burning the sanctuary to the ground.

This is the disgusting thing "standing where it ought not" (Mark 13:14) — uncircumcised Gentiles exercising priestly authority over God’s holy ones. It is the same pattern seen when the Jewish religious leaders used Roman power against Christ. (John 19:15-16)

Today, unfaithful anointed (symbolic “harlot” – Revelation 17:1-5) cooperate with the Gentile “wild beast” (non-anointed organization leadership) against Christ’s faithful brothers who expose falsehood.  As long as this arrangement remains — Gentiles ruling over the holy place, expelling and silencing anointed priests — the abomination of desolation stands in the midst of God’s Temple.

Jesus’ command is unmistakable: “Let the reader use discernment... then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains” (Matthew 24:15-16)

Flee TO the symbolically slain anointed whom Christ is using right now (the “eagles” gathered to the “body”/slain ones) – Luke 17:37; Matthew 24:28 – who are already separated from the Beast and its image, and who are feeding God’s household with truth from the wilderness/Mount Zion. 

• Revelation 14:1 –“Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb...” 

• Matthew17:1–3 – “Jesus... led them up on a high mountain... and behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.” 

• 2Peter 1:16-18 – “…we were with him on the holy mountain.”

 • Hebrews 12:22-24 –“But you have come to Mount Zion ... and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant.” 

• Revelation 12:6,14 – the woman fled into the wilderness to be nourished, from the presence of the serpent, given the two wings of the great eagle. 

• Isaiah 40:3-5;Malachi 3:1 (quoted in Matthew 3:3) 

• Mark 1:2-3 – “a voice crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord.” 

• Psalm 74:2– “Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.”

 • Micah 4:1-2 – “In the latter days the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established ... many nations shall say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD’”

That is the only safe spiritual refuge before the Great Tribulation reaches its climax; this is outside man-made mountains/religious organizations (Revelation 14:1) 

Matthew 17:1-3; Revelation 11:3-4; Revelation12:6,14; Revelation 18:4

 

 “The disgusting thing (Gentiles) standing (ruling) in a holy place (Temple Sanctuary), is the Man of Lawlessness/Wild Beast, ruling in God’s Temple, over the anointed that are not sealed yet. Those anointed are God’s chosen priests, who have been thrown out of their rightful position in the sanctuary, by that Wild Beast/Man ...who rules FOR the Harlots. (Ruling anointed who have left the Covenant with God)”

Quote from Pearl Doxsey

 

I urge you in the spirit of love and truth to consider whether you are unwittingly serving as part of this “disgusting thing” and to repent before the Wild Beast turns on the Harlot, as prophecy foretells.  (Revelation 17:16) 

Psalms 18:10,12-15 – “And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
He flew upon the wings of the wind. 

From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³ The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
¹⁴ He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
¹⁵ Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.” 

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 AMPC – “For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming. [Isa. 11:4.] The coming [of the lawless one, the antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and delusive marvels–[all of them] lying wonders."

 

Time the restrainer be taken out. To their benefit, who in their right mind wants to be a son of the Destroyer.

With sincere concern for the anointed household of God,

A brother in Christ
