For more than twenty five years I was a staunch pre-tribulationist. You can read my testimony at http://www.propheticoutreach.blogspot.com . After reading the “Pre Wrath Rapture” by Marvin Rosenthal in 1998, I began a search for the truth regarding Bible Prophesy, and in particular------Bible Eschatology. I had known as much, or maybe more, about the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, that most PEW SHEEP in the “church” of America. I knew all about the “Seventieth Week of Daniel”, and the source of that late eschatology. The whole “SEVEN YEARS OF TRIBULATION” hinges on Daniel 9:27, and the revelation by an Angel that reads as such-----“and he shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK [of years], and in the MIDST of the week [shabbat—7], he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease”. This verse has been translated by modern eschatologists to mean that the future ANTICHRIST will cause the [re-instituted] sacrifice [in the Tribulation Temple], to cease in the “midst” of the “seventieth week of Daniel” which is a FUTURE------SEVEN YEAR EVENT. Multitudes, upon multitudes, of books have been written about this particular eschatology. It has become so pervasive in contemporary Christianity so as to cause the words “seven years of tribulation” to spill off the lips of even the LEAST of prophecy students as cliché as “cleanliness is next to godliness”---------and just as un-biblical! I printed this out so that I could better study it and found it is 13 pages long, more than I should copy here. I found this to be a wonderful study and one that I can live with. I had come to think the tribulation will only last 3-1/2 years, because of the timing of Christ's death, but had not been able to put together the representative Scriptures, such as has been done here. If what you read here is correct, as I believe it to be - this is what the author said: ----IF THIS ESCHATOLOGY that I have presented IS CORRECT, then you are headed at LIGHT SPEED toward the GREAT TRIBULATION.

It is impossible to pinpoint when the tribulation starts, so there is no way to add a seven year time to this, if you are using the seven year timetable.

FYI .. I did download it to Word and will check it out. I see there will be a lot of cross referencing to do between bible versions, since I have a hard time with the KJV language .. it's been awhile. Thanks for the link ...

Many times you will see things I do not. I do believe there shall be a seven year tribulation because first, the two witnesses will be on earth teaching the gospel for 1260 days. Then the antichrist will have that same amount of time, after he kills the two witnesses. Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (I think this is the Church.) As an aside; This is an interesting chart: http://www.1260-1290-days-bible-prophecy.org/images/Ezekiel-seige-jerusalem-1260-1290-days.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
