NASB | Daniel 7:25 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 7:25 'He will speak words against the Most High [God] and wear down the saints of the Most High, and he will intend to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, [two] times, and half a time [three and one-half years]. [Rev 13:1-6] |
Bible Question (short): Does this make pretrib rapture unlikely |
Question (full): Daniel 7:25 says the saints will be handed over to the anti Christ for a period of time, times and half a time. It looks like that means 3 and 1/2 half years of the 7 year tribulation. Whether it's referring to the first or second 3 and 1/2 years, if the saints are there for the anti Christ to persecute, doesn't this verse rule out a pre tribulation rapture? Also, is there any though on whether this 3 1/2 years is the first or second part of the tribulation? thanks, Chusarcik |
