I have been over this many times, and NO ONE has been able to prove a 7 year tribulation. The idea stems from a false interpretation of the 70th week of Daniel. Small details will trip up anyone trying to make sense of Revelation in the context of a 7 year tribulation. When you understand that there are ONLY 3.5 years left of the 70th week, then Revelation (and ALL other prophecy books in the Bible) will finally make sense. The so-called mid-trib is actually pre-trib and pre-wrath then becomes mid-trib and post-trib is well they may as well be Amillennialists.  First, you already know that Jewish literature doesn't always flow chronologically. They will often state the general first, and then go into the specifics afterward. A case in point is... Genesis 1:1-13 (KJV)   The first verse is merely a synopsis of what is to follow, and verses 6-8 and verses 9-10 go into the details of how this was accomplished.   This also happens in Matt. 24 (prophecy revealed by Jesus) - He outlines out to the end first, then goes back and inserts details about the AoD and start of the Church Age before reaching the rapture, tribulation and 2nd coming.   The same thing happens in... Daniel 9:24-27 (KJV) 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it DESOLATE, even until the consummation and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.    All those "ands" connect everything associated with the 70th week which begins in verse 26 (AFTER the 69th week ends). Verse 27 is NOT a separate sentence, but rather a continuation of verse 26. Gabriel first stated the synopsis for the whole passage in verse 24; then, he went into more detail in verses 25-27. However, it happened again in 25-27: First, he stated the synopsis in verses 25-26 (which are the details for verse 24), and then, he went into more detail in 27. He made the statement, "after 62 Sevens shall Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself," and then showed how that would happen in verse 27. IF the final Seven begins immediately after the end point of the 62 Sevens, as we assume the 62 Sevens did right after the first 7 Sevens, then the Messiah's death would be WITHIN the final Seven. Removing the cross to a point OUTSIDE of the "determined" 70 weeks would mean the cross cannot be used as part of its fulfillment. This is the one point everyone just seems to think is totally irrelevant. How can the 6 purposes for the 70 weeks be fulfilled without the cross?   Now, the "prince that shall come" CANNOT be the "antichrist." Here's why: In English, we know that the object of the preposition cannot participate in the sentence as a subject or an object in the main thought of the sentence. Since it is not the subject of the sentence, then it cannot be the antecedent of the word "he." Now, if the "he" was part of the prepositional phrase in which the object of the preposition resides, THEN it could be its antecedent. The same thing is basically true in Hebrew: In Hebrew, there is a construct called a "noun construct state" in which two nouns sitting back to back affect one another. The second noun modifies the first noun, but the first noun can be the subject or object in the sentence. The second noun cannot participate in the sentence's main structure. The Hebrew of verses 26 and 27 (transliterated) is this: Dani'el 9:26-27 Masoretic Text as found in PC Study Bible 26 V’’achareey hashaavu`iym shishiym uwshnayim yikaareet Maashiyach v’’eeyn low v’haa`iyr v’haqodesh yashchiyt `am naagiyd habaa’ v’qitsow vasheTef v’`ad qeets milchaamaah nech’retset shomeemowt: 27 V’higbiyr b’riyt laarabiym shaavuwa` ‘echaad vach’tsiy hashaavuwa` yashbiyt
zevach uwminchah v’`al k’naf shiquwtsiym m’shomeem v’`ad-kaalaah v’nech’raatsaah titakh `al-shomeem: The "`am naagiyd" are the two nouns back to back, and they translate to "[the] people of [the] prince." The first word "`am" ("people") can be a subject or an object in the sentence, but NOT "naagiyd!" The sentence technically doesn't end in verse 26 but continues through verse 27. There are no nouns attached to the verbs in verse 27; therefore, the word "he" is supplied THREE TIMES in verse 27. To find the subject for the verbs, which would technically be the "antecedent" for the pronoun "he" in verse 27, one must go back to verse 26 to the word "Maashiyach." Thus, it is the "Maashiyach" or "Messiah" who performs the verbs in verse 27: 27 And the Messiah shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week the sacrifice and the oblation are given cause to cease, but for the continued abominations it shall become DESOLATE, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. It's not the "anti-messiah"; it's the Messiah HIMSELF who confirms the (Davidic) covenant; it's the Messiah HIMSELF who "causes the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" (see Hebrews 10), and it's the Messiah HIMSELF who makes the city (and Daniel's people) desolate!   Now are ready to go into the calculations for the end of the 69th week/ start of the 70th week? Hint: it occurs at the baptism NOT the cross. 

What i know is darkness will get darker and those in Christ will continue to shine brighter and brighter.  I have heard nothing from The Almighty about revival or judgment.  its quite a lengthy video but the harbinger has some interesting things to say.  you can find various videos on youtube.  I have not had confirmation on this video.  I have had a couple dreams but can not say if its judgment or God just shaking things.   I also know what ever comes is going to be to better the church.  even those in lamentations showed hope thru prayer close to the end of that book.  the main thing is not to be afraid of whats coming.  God is for us.  He will help us.  He will give us the words to speak if needed.  its our place to stay faithful to Him and not turn our backs to Him or go our own way.  we must not let our love grow cold.  we must remain unspotted from the world.  In Christ is where we will find every thing, every tool, every ability to do this.   we must draw near to Him now.  live ready.  Never will i leave you, Never will I forsake you, He said.  what a friend we have in Jesus.   we must wait patiently for our hope. 

There is a hardening of the people of America. Look at the media. Look at the schools. I don't see any revival for this country.  Just a few here and there will come to a knowledge of the truth. I believe the USA will be destroyed in a war at some future time. Let us live for christ.

Lean and cling to the promised garment. Listen for the bells of the High priest. Focus on the oil and wine of mercy with lovingkindness. A wick is like a scarlet thread hidden in the heart of the wise whom Love the Lord even while being neglected worthy fruits of patience. For those who lean on the Lord. There are a specific number of silver roots to the golden pillars of the mishkan. Rarely spoken of from the heart of those who are in need the spirit is vocal. By the song of night and breath of light a King entered the Holy Place and gave voice to the poor. In giving a portion to 7 and 8 the King sits at the right hand of the Father and shares a wealth of faith to those who seek the kingdom. For those seeking the kingdom. Rember Caleb and Yoshua whose courage extended beyond a certain mountain.   Blessings Always

I think the United States is part of the world.  The end times affects the entire world.
