It's always better to start a new thread so people aren't responding to others who are no longer even here.

Rev 4:1

Daniel 12:11–12 (AV)
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.


The 70th Week of Daniel (the last 7 years of current history) is 2520 days long.

The temple sacrifice will be abated 1290 days from the end.

1335 days from the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel

will be the day of the rapture (the finality of the patience of the saints Revelation 3:10 / Revelation 13:12) .

Date setting?

Nope.

We won't know when the 70th Week of Daniel begins until the temple sacrifice is abated on day

1230.

Jesus did. In the very same passage in which Jesus said no one would know the day or time he also stated quite plainly the events would happen in "this generation". No one will know the day or time but it will happen in this generation, and the conjugation of "this generation" in the Greek is near demonstrative. A near demonstrative conjugation prohibits making "this generation" say "that generation" or any generation in any far distant future. 

If doubting then look it up. 

May I ask if you are speaking about Matthew 24:34 when Jesus said "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place."?  If so, I believe Jesus is talking about the generation that will witness all of what He spoke of in the prior verses, not just that particular generation of those He was speaking to.

As for Jesus knowing, scripture tells us that “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."  The condition "only" sounds like only the Father knew.

If I am off base here, my apologies, but it's hard to follow all the threads that interest me.

Stop right there. What you or I believe is irrelevant if it is anything other than what is stated and what can exegetically be made to say based on what is stated. None of us have any place, no authority whatsoever, to say "I believe..." when we depart from what is stated. If you are going to believe anything then believe what is plainly stated as written, plainly read without added interpretation. 

Yes, that is a very common view held by a certain (minority) segment of Christendom based on a specific hermeneutic associated with that segment; a sectarian segment. That view is highly interpretive, something based on an eisegetic reading of the text, not an exegetic reading. Start with what it states. Notice the context of the narrative, the specific question Jesus is answering, the audience to whom and about whom he is speaking - to whom and about whom he is explicitly speaking.

Ask yourself, "If it weren't for the eschatology I have been taught, would I read the scriptures this way? Would I read a near demonstrative "this generation" to be a far-distant event when nowhere else in scripture does scripture itself ever treat near demonstrative language that way?" 

You can believe whatever you like. 

But if you claim to believe the Bible as written and not the way certain men coming along long, long, long after the scriptures were written tell us to read it then you'll look first to what is actually stated as stated. 

 

Since this op is specifically about the rapture, let's take a look at a section of Matthew 24 that is often attributed to be a rapture text. Near the end of the chapter Jesus appeals to the "days of Noah," and then gives an analogy of two men working in the fields and two women at a mill; one is taken and the other remains. We find a similar passage in Luke 17. The same segment of Christianity that says "this generation" really means "that generation," also say the reference to Noah's day is about the rapture. the problem with that interpretation is that's not what happened in the days of Noah. In the days of Noah the ones who were taken away were the ones destroyed!!! It was the ones who remained after the flood was over that continued to live on in a covenant relationship with God. Any objective reading of the Genesis 6-9 text easily and readily leads to that unenviable conclusion. 

Now I am not saying there's no rapture. 

I am simply saying neither Matthew 24:37-41 nor Luke. 17:26-31 is about a rapture. Of all the passages some use to support a rapture theology the two just mentioned must be removed from that list because that is not what they actually teach when read as written. 

Yet that is common practice among some. 

Now you are familiar with Matthew 24:34 but it is not being read as written; it is being read through "What I believe...." making either yourself or those from whom you learned that view the arbiter of scripture, not the other way around. 

Jesus aid, "This generation..." and he meant "This generation..." He said no one would know the day or time but he also said those events would happen in "This generation..." not "That generation...." He did not know the day or hour but he did know the generation. Don't conflate the three. The disciples wanted to know when the Pharisees would be judged, when temple was going to be destroyed, and when would the signs of his return appear and he told them what he know: I don't know the day or hour, but it is going to happen in this generation. Do a study of the phrase "this generation" in Matthew and the gospels. "It always refers to the generation to whom he is speaking at that time. 

Just read it as written. 

And if the eschatology doesn't work with that reading then change the eschatology, not God's word. 

Interesting how you say to me "Stop right there. What you or I believe is irrelevant if it is anything other than what is stated and what can exegetically be made to say based on what is stated. None of us have any place, no authority whatsoever, to say "I believe..." when we depart from what is stated. If you are going to believe anything then believe what is plainly stated as written, plainly read without added interpretation. ", then you go on telling me what you believe scripture is saying.

Guess I'm done discussing anything with you as it is more in line with me having to have to agree with you or I'm plain wrong.  Hope some day you can learn how to discuss.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
