13 hours ago, Daniel 11:36 said:

Yes Daniel did say this, but the Lord's tribulation period will begin just after His call for is own which will last for 7 years and 30 days

Daniel also said [Daniel 9:24..27] .... 70 weeks of years are decreed and the 70th has not yet come

Study on

There is a last week yet to come, of that I'm fully convinced. But there are distinct time periods within that week as Jesus told us in Matt 24, and I am not convinced the last week should should be generalized by unwarranted terms like 'tribulation period'.

Beginning of Sorrows. First Half. 3.5 years in duration.

It's likely, my personal observation, the AC will rise first; in effect the signal the last week has begun, the first seal of Revelation. This only means the beast has been healed of the head wound and is receiving the awe and worship of the world, alongside the dragon. The beast is only fully revealed at the A of D.

This rise of the beast, healed and empowered by the dragon and receiving the worship of the world, will be the force behind the reconstruction of the temple, strengthening a covenant already in place, or so I'm convinced. 

The next idea is the calamities in the beginning of sorrows. The wars and earthly calamities are the result of the rise of the beast. The wars come about from the beast's protection of Israel while Israel reconstructs the Temple. Not all in the Mideast will be happy the Temple rises and it's assured they will fight to stop construction.

Famine, plague and pestilence occur from the wars somewhat, but mostly from the power of the two witnesses who have arrived on the scene. As the beast rises to power at the onset of the last week God will send His two witnesses to oppose the beast and warn the people about the true nature of this 'savior'; and to strike the earth with all manner of plagues.

This idea fits with Jesus' words about the beginning of sorrows, days which occur before the middle of the week.

A. of D. 3+ days.

A dramatic moment in history. The beast declares himself God of the Universe. Exerts control over every soul on earth. Kills the two witnesses. Brings statues and idols to life. And probably needs a few days to settle in after his great victory over the witnesses and to allow the people of earth to have their celebration.

Great Tribulation. Less that 3.5 years.

We all know what's going on here.

The Sign. A mere moment. 

The Sign of Jesus Coming. Pretty well covered and happening in an instant. 

The Reality of Jesus Return.

Occurring in conjunction with the Sign in a following instant.

Dispatching the Angels and the Gathering of the Elect.

This is going to take just a bit of time. Not positive how much time but occurring during the half hour silence in heaven.

Wrath of God. Maybe 6 months.

There are 7 distinct time periods within the last week. Only 1 has anything to do with 'tribulation', the period sandwiched between the A of D and the Sign of the Coming of the Son of Man. Only this time can be referred to as the 'tribulation period', not the entire 70th week. But you can certainly believe as you wish. That's our gift and burden.

The problem with a a mid trib or post trib rapture is that the Bible says that no one can know when Jesus' appearing will occur.   So, since the Tribulation begins with the AC confirming a covenant with Israel, we can mark off either 3 1/2 years for the mid trip scenario or 7 years for the post trib scenario, which violates Jesus' words that we cannot know when His appearing will be ("appearing" and 2nd coming are not the same thing).  

A pre-trib rapture scenario is the only one that prohibits us from knowing when His appearing will occur.

Not exactly.

The 'tribulation' does not begin with confirming the covenant. Where does scripture say this? Nowhere. 

When would the 'confirmation' take place? A person would have to know the exact moment. Would that be a public declaration? A secret meeting? Perhaps adding a signature to the existing document would signal the moment. Tough to ascertain.

What is often missed is that the days of tribulation are cut short. No one knows how short ergo, a post trib coming is possible.

How is it appearing and coming are not the same? When a person comes to your house for a visit they appear at your doorstep as they have come to visit you. Appearing and coming work in concert. Tell me how Jesus would appear to all the tribes of earth but has not come to earth? How does Jesus appear without being in the place of appearing?

Yes it does.  Read your Bible.  Dan. 9:27.  The "one week" is the 7 year covenant which marks the beginning of the Tribulation. The covenant will be broken at the 3 1/2 mark which is the latter half of the Tribulation ,which is what the book of Revelation is primarily concerned with.

Yep, those of us who are born again, won't be here to see it.

It is seven years (one week) long.   It would be longer if it weren't cut short.

The 2nd coming is at the end of the book of Revelation after the destruction of mystery babylon, at slaughter of Armageddon.  

The appearance, we are told cannot be ascertained; no man knows the day or the hour.   If  Jesus were talking about the 2nd coming, that comment would not make sense.

His appearance will be seen by His saints when we are raptured out.  He is not returning to the earth, but calling the Church out of the earth, which is why the Church is not mentioned as going through the Tribulation in the book of Revelation.

That's not what it says.  It says day or hour.  Very small window there.  And it never says that no one will ever know.

When you consider what all takes place in those days, changes to times and laws, the sun and moon being affected, its easy to see how measuring time can get obfuscated.  Something to think about, for those inclined to do so.

It's a manner of speaking that simply means we cannot know when he will return.  It doesn't mean that we can calculate the week or the month or the year, but just not the day nor the hour.   That's taking it to a level of hyper-literal interpretation that has people telling us every year that September is going to be the month of his return.   The last few years, every September we have these prophecy teachers trying to tell us to get ready for the rapture, or some big spiritual event in September (around Rosh Hashanna).   It gets ridiculous.  

And it is because I "think"  for myself that I am not really going by into your response.

Not sure what that means, but, okay.

For everyone else, it's not a matter of "calculating" when.  As I tried to explain, its a matter of losing track of time through those changes.  The man of sin changes "times"?  Does that mean a new calendar based on him?  The sun, which is what we base our day on, is altered.  That'll throw off your day count.

That's why Jesus tells us to stay vigilant, and to keep our clothes.  Maintaining an accurate day count will be impossible, probably by design.  We're not in darkness; we'll know the season, just not the specific day.  It will have become obfuscated through the events leading up to that day.

  • But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.  Matthew 24:13

Its a matter of perseverance, of knowing Jesus and bringing extra oil.

No, because the appearing of Christ occurs before the AC is even on the scene.  The changing of times and seasons is likely relative to the Jewish calendar and the festivals related to it, not the solar calendar.

That's pure conjecture.  Since it lacks biblical support, I doubt its true.  Christ returns once, on the day of the Lord, to gather to Himself those who are His.  Those who trust in a great escape will be sorely disappointed in that false hope.  The warnings are clear.  We are to be ready to endure to the end.

Jesus' return and his appearance are not the same thing. Jesus will appear to gather us, but his return is at the end of Tribulation and it  is destroy the armies gathered around Jerusalem in Rev. 19 and Zech. 14.

'Remnant theology' denies Matt 24 for the church, but is incorrect. There are no 'dispensations' as theological basis for understanding eschatology. Plain reading says what it says. Plainly.

    • 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.
