This is a study that I have been working on for quite a while and I think it will shed some light on a lot of confusion. God Bless.

sorry, but that link is complete nonsense, and it's a my space page lol...no question the 70th Week of Daniel 9 refers to the future seven year period alotted to the Jews, to finish their commission

heck, all you have to do is looks at Israel over the last 100 years to realize what is getting ready to happen, it couldn't be more obvious if it hit you over the head...these people who want to force fit the global, horrifying events of Revelation, including seas turning to blood, massive hailstones, demon armies ransacking the earth, and most of the population of the world being wiped out back to 70 A.D. astound me

So are you saying that the events of Revelation are just going to be localised things in Israel, then?

[MrLuke]

not at all, I clearly stated "global" above

Ah yes.. I misread you sentence!

I agree it's going to happen, but where does it say demon armies ransacking the earth? from my understanding, it's people blinded by the antichrist that are his armies.

Obviously, what is NOT written cannot be Biblical! The positions of "pre-, mid-, or, post-" TRIBULATION depend on there being a "seven years great tribulation." There is no mention of any "seven years great tribulation" in the Bible. That phrase does not occur. All it takes is for you to find one verse to prove me wrong. When it's not written nobody (following Jesus) is under any obligation to believe it!

How to implement the authority of the Bible: Confine your expression of faith to the actual words the Holy Spirit chose to make His revelation known. Through the use of concordances it can authoritatively be established whether something is written or not. The original language should be consulted to verify things of importance.

I am new here so I am only going to make a brief comment. The Seven year Peace Pact and The rapture are two separate issues. Whether the Church is taken out before the seven year Trib begins will not have an inpact on what is about to embrace this planet.

Well Kenna, if I were you I would change your source of information, because that source is a load of jollop.....IMHO.

Just as there is no covenant superceding the new covenant in the blood of Jesus; and as Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God, never to be superceded, only brought into greater and greater manifestation; so we are God ultimate,"For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." (Eph 5:30) The Church is here to take over, not be taken out! All of creation is in travail, "...for the manifestation (not the disappearance!) of the sons of God. " (Rom 8:19)

Daniel 2:34-35:

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands (Jesus,) which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces (the Roman Empire's way was changed by Jesus and it became Christendom.)

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain (= kingdom,") and filled the whole earth (now in process.)

Daniel 2:44:

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Kenna--

Anyone can laugh at this "myspace" piece, they they should do so lightly. I think your source is good because it provides scripture verses and historic dates that anyone can check for themselves. Even if the exact translation used is different, at least anyone can check the content.

I have thought the same for many years. When I was a younger man in the 1980's I read some Hal Lindsay, but what I didn't understand then--or now--is why all this prophecy tended to boil down to was "Why the USA needs to build more nuclear weapons".

There are passages in Ezekile that bear referencing, like, I believe 38-39, because they appear to be endtime passages. But even thses must be taken cautiously. It appears to be our time, until you read Ezekiel 38:11, "You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars."

Doesn't sound like the Israel we know, does it?
