Subject: Christ comes in kingdom power at the End |
Bible Note: EdB, I totally agree that “what is important is that Christ will return and one day rule with us at his side.” Do you however object that I “keep referring to a 1260-day endtime”? It will be interesting to discuss the first half of Daniel’s 70th Seven, but Jesus and Paul deal only with the “abomination in the Temple” during the second half of what we call the Great Tribulation. So, what ground do you have for affirming the Two Witnesses (Two Prophets) will “begin their ministry in the first 1260 days overlapping the last 1260”? Revelation states these Two “finish their 1260-day task” with only 3 ½ days remaining before “God’s mystery was finished in the days whenever the 7th Trumpet is about to sound.” With the 7th Trumpet, the countdown of 1260 days ends because no more than 3½ days remain. What evidence do you give that more than 3½ days separate “God’s wrath having come” and the time to “judge and reward the Saints and also to destroy those who are destroying the earth”? The Plagues must be emptied before the 7th Trumpet sounds because they only “complete God’s anger and demonstrate that God's deeds are righteous.” Rev.15:1,4. That anger “mixes full strength with His wrath” as of the 7th Trumpet when “time (chronos; not delay) is no longer.” Rev.10:6,7. Why do I insist that the Sign of the Day of God’s Wrath is Seal Six? Rev.6:16,17. Because Jesus put this sign of His coming “in the days immediately AFTER the great tribulation.” Mark 13:24,27; Matt.24:29-31. The only description of that sign in Revelation is Seal Six ... the same sign Isaiah and Joel said would inaugurate the day of destruction and/or deliverance. Mel |
