Subject: The Rapture in Revelation |
Bible Note: #1 The prophecy in Daniel of the 70 weeks is for Israel only: But the time of the tribulation for the elect is running concurrent with it and both events are triggered by the same action. That is when Israel makes a seven year covenant, with the unbeknown to them, antichrist. #2 The 70th week of Daniel, if that is the part you mean, won't start until Israel makes the firm covenant with the one, antichrist, who makes desolate. After three and one half years, his true nature will be revealed as the son of destruction, (also, II Thess.2: 3-9) at this point Israel will realize that they made a covenant with death and she will fly into the wilderness to her place of safety from the presence of the serpent. Rev. 12:13-17 The dragon then through frustration, because he can't get at Israel will turn on the elect, the church, thus the great tribulation that Jesus warned us would happen in the last days. Being a believer in Christ at that time will not be a popular thing! Forget about the glowing testimonies, unless you want to loose you head. Thus we have the apostasy that Paul spoke of. There won't be many, so called lukewarm believers around. There will be people turning on their own relations just as the Scripture says will happen. #3 I think that the temple will be rebuilt and the Jews will start to sacrifice, the same way that they did in the Old Testament. I just heard on the radio the other day, that after some two thousand years, that the Jews have redeveloped the red heifer, I wonder why? I hope this answers your question, this is about the best I can do when I am to tired to tkink. CDBJ |
