Like the killer whale, there is another 'killer' that is lurking today.
Luke 12:15 (New International Version)
Then He(The Lord Jesus Christ) said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
In pursuit of abundance of their possessions in this world, many are being 'killed' and 'swallowed' up by the Devil with this 'killer-greed' in the lurking.
Luke 12:15 (New International Version)

In pursuit of abundance of their possessions in this world, many are being 'killed' and 'swallowed' up by the Devil with this 'killer-greed' in the lurking.
Greed is the last straw from the sinful nature of Satan that will turn many away from following the Lord. The Devil has this sin of greed to grow in its children.This part of the sinful nature will enlarge because greed will cause many to fall into sin deeper and away from God. It is this sin that will invite the final 'desolation' that the prophet Daniel prophesied about in chapter 7.
The 'abomination that causes desolation' will come from greed. Greed for more dominance, power, worldly recognition, fame, wealth, possessions, comfortable living and many more sins that link itself to gaining more money is the 'abomination' today.
Greed wiil cause many to drift far away from the Lord and some will even deny Him for the greed of his/her heart for the things of this world.
