31 And there will be arms* that will stand up, proceeding from him; and they will actually profane the sanctuary,*+ the fortress,* and remove the constant [feature].*+

“And they will certainly put in place* the disgusting thing+ that is causing desolation.*+

17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him;+ for the temple of God is holy,+ which [temple]+ YOU people are.+

12 “‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar+ in the temple*+ of my God,+ and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem*+ which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.+

2 But as for the courtyard that is outside+ the temple [sanctuary], cast it clear out* and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations,+ and they will trample the holy city+ underfoot for forty-two months.+
