1 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 14749 | ||
Greetings Bill! Excellent summary! May I add one point? Many believe that the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel's 70th week will be called "Jacob's Trouble." According to this view, the first 3 1/2 years will focus primarily upon Israel. This fits well with what we see in Revelation. The 2 witnesses seem to be prophets sent primarily to Israel. Rev. 12 seems to refer to Satan's attack on Israel during this time, an attack which lasts 3 1/2 years. Therefore, one could summarize Daniel's 70th week in this way: First 3 1/2 years - a time of test for Israel. Second 3 1/2 years - a time of wrath for unbelievers. Under this view, believers would be here for the first 3 1/2 years, but not for the second 3 1/2 years. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I don't see it that way. The wrath that is taking place during the lasts 42 months, is not from God but from the Wicked one. The affliction that those believers will go through is going to be dealt with along with the affliction of those in II Thess. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. The only ones to escape, are the ones that are sealed in Rev.7:1-9 Just before the rapture. Did you notice the timing of the rapture in II Thess. 1;10 (WHEN) CDBJ |

Greetings CDBJ! I'm not sure I'm following you! Could you break your position down some, so that I can follow the chronology? A couple of questions? Where does Scripture say that the last 42 months is Satan's wrath? Does 2 Thes. 1:10 refer to the rapture or to the second coming? Just curious my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Rev.12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." This is his last fling. The second coming of Christ is not a verb but a noun, it is the Greek word, PAROUSIA. It is an event just like His first coming which took aprox. 33 years. His second parousia starts with the rapture of the church and last thru the final battle of Armageddon. The wrath of God by definition is against the wicked, when “The lord alone will be exalted” Isa.2:27 The wrath of Satan, Antichrist, “exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he take his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God” II Thess. 2:4 Scripture teaches that Antichrist persecution will be aginst the elect of God (Matt.24:21-22), against His saints (Rev. 13:7) against those “who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus”(Rev. 12:17)! Look at (Zeph. 1:17b-18) Believers will never be on the receiving end of God's wrath. CDBJ |
