That's the significance :biggrin:With much agape love,George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it not start when Israel became a nation again? Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerusalem being part of the original Israel? I think 70 years is a biblical generation, you know, 3 score and 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Veronica Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 If you read Matthew 24, it will explain the chronological chain of events of the End Times. The Anti-Christ must first be revealed and set himself up in the Temple and declare himself to be God. According to the book of Daniel, this will not happen until about the mid point of the tribulation. I believe that we will be here for at least 3 and 1/2 years of the Tribulation period. This may be the "great falling away" spoken of in Matthew. Those who thought that we would be Raptured before any Tribulation may not withstand the great persecution that the Beast will inflict upon the Church. Many Christians may not be willing to die for their faith, and will thererfore submit to the mark of the Beast and live. I believe in being prepared. If I am wrong - Praise God! But if I'm right, it will be the worst time in Christian history. There will be many, many martyrs. Just my point of view.Agape Veronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
