Understand the last chapters of the Book of DANIEL - 3 years ago
The 7 years of Tribulation
The seven year tribulation starts when the anti-Christ is able to work out a peace treaty between Israel and her Arab enemies that will permit Israel to rebuild their Temple ( Daniel 9:27).
The first half of the seven years is milder in comparison to the second half when the anti-Christ takes over world power. After 3.5 years, the anti-Christ breaks his agreement with Israel, takes over the newly rebuilt temple, ends the sacrifice and offerings, and appoints himself as god ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4). For more detail, click.
Then everyone on earth will experience worldwide hardships, disasters, famine, hail, fire, water turning to blood, a third of the sun, moon, and stars being struck down, smoke that darkens the sun and the sky, attacks of locusts on those who do not have God's mark, war, pain, and suffering. At this time, over 66% of all human life on the earth will be eliminated before the Second Coming of Christ takes place. For a better description of the horrors, fears, terror, and deaths of the tribulation, read Revelation, chapters 6 through 11.
God's furious anger against mankind
Starting in Revelation 6, we see the first time since the great flood that God releases His anger against all of mankind. Starting with the seven seals of destruction and death, the seven trumpets of terror, seven angels with seven plagues, and the seven bowls of God's wrath. The timing of these retributions against evil appears to occur during the end of the tribulation.
Daniel 9:25-27, is used to create seven years of tribulation, and an antichrist at the end of days by taking the last week of the 70-week prophecy given to Daniel with the combination of verses in Matthew 24-25, Revelation, and parts of Paul's letters that create a most believable picture. If the 70th week has been fulfilled and not in the future, how does that change the picture that has been painted in our minds?
The pre, mid, or post rapture of the Church, an antichrist, 7-year tribulation, covenant with Israel, a third temple, abomination of desolation, 3 years after covenant, then 3 years great tribulation. The 70th week is the glue that holds this interpretation together and without it what do we have? If the last week being in the future is wrong, what other parts of this interpretation are wrong?
As Gabriel relayed from God to Daniel, the 70 weeks were determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city. House of Israel/ Jerusalem. This prophecy was for the first coming of Jesus, not the second coming. It tells the exact time He would first come, and the exact time He would be killed, the leaders of Jerusalem rejected it.
Prophecy, 490 years, 483 years until Jesus the Messiah first coming, + Jesus' ministry 3 years, His crucifixion in the middle of the last week + 3 years until the gospel was given to the Gentiles= 490 years 70 weeks.
Jesus is the he in 9:27 He confirmed the covenant with the house of Israel for 3 years, when Jesus was crucified, He cause the Levitical animal sacrifice and the oblation law to cease. The old covenant fulfilled.
You can find for the overspreading of abominations, He (Jesus) shall make it desolate, in ( Matthew 23:35-38). The other 3 years were confirmed by Jesus through the Apostles until Peter had his dream completing the confirming to the house of Israel ending the 70th week.
I hope this inspires to study, and not taken offensively because it is out of love.
Brother Ronald, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
I agree that the 70 weeks of Daniel is a prophecy of his coming in the flesh to die and be crucified; and not his second coming when all the dead are raised.
I don't believe in a GENERAL rapture of the church. I perceive this is you belief also.
Since; I perceive, you have studied Daniel at length, do you also study the other prophets and Revelation.
Brother Earl, thank you for your reply. I have studied prophecy; I still have many unanswered questions; some may never be revealed. Studying prophecy, we can become overwhelmed and become like a dog chasing its tail and loose our purpose. We have to be honest, some things in the future we will not know until it happens, but we can test and study the theories that are taught and let the Holy Spirit teach us the truth and uncover deception. We need to take Jesus' word to heart "Take heed that no man deceive you"
Understand the last chapters of the Book of DANIEL
Well that's more like it. Too bad you are not factoring in Jesus' segment of 42 months of power. Even though we don't agree on the roll-out of the last week, we are at least in the same ballpark. The last week is prophesy is separated in two 42 month segments.
1st half of the week = Jesus' 42 month ministry, then Messiah is cut off in the midst of the week
2nd half of the week = antichrist's 42 months begins with the abomination of desolation placed in both houses of modern day Israel.
Carl, you are correct Jesus' ministry was 42 months and there are 42 months in Revelation but the ones in Revelation have nothing to do with the 70-week prophecy given to Daniel.
If I understand you correctly, the abomination of desolations spoken of by Daniel in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 is what you tie the last half of the 70th week to the antichrist and the 42 months?
Many may disagree but, the abomination of desolation has nothing to do with the beast in Revelation. If you read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, what Jesus told four of the Apostles on the Mount of Olives. First, we must understand at this time none of the Apostles even knew Jesus was going to die, they thought Jesus was going to set up the kingdom then. Even after He resurrected, they did not believe He had been killed.
Some of this discourse was about the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem and some about Jesus second coming. If you study history of this time, you will see there were earthquakes, wars, famine, pestilence and more. All through the New Testament people was starving and they were selling and donating for those in Jerusalem that were without, many died.
Why would people today have to pray their flight not be on a Sabbath? In the time of the destruction of the temple the gates of Jerusalem would have been locked on the Sabbath, they couldn't get out. The temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD was totally wiped away, the people in Jerusalem turned to cannibalism during this siege of Rome, it was the worst horror Jerusalem had ever faced.
No believers in Christ died, they fled to the city Pella before the destruction. Many put Revelation 12 with the casting down of Satan long ago but Satan still has access to heaven because he accuses daily. When Satan is cast down to earth in Rev. 12 it is permanent they rejoice in heaven. Satan then gives his power seat and authority to the beast ( Revelation 13:1-5).
Sorry, this is short may it be enough to inspire study.
Amen Carleton, it surely may be later than we think so, we in the kingdom under the reign of Jesus Christ as He told us, WATCH. The darkness of this world is getting heavier, but darkness is fully dependent on the absence of light, light can never be defined as the absence of darkness, light will continue to be light regardless of the amount of darkness, the smallest light will shine through the darkest dark. Therefore, we must shine as bright as we can shine and watch until Jesus returns.
2 Thessalonian 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
It could be today, therefore we walk in the Spirit, keep our heads up, and our eyes of faith on Jesus.

What is happening in Israel now?
The pre, mid, or post rapture of the Church, an antichrist, 7-year tribulation, covenant with Israel, a third temple, abomination of desolation, 3 years after covenant, then 3 years great tribulation.
