Bible Note: Candy Lee, Thanks for your question showing you may be open to the fact that Jesus began and then concluded the great tribulation period (of 1260 days) with the "abomination in the Temple and His coming in glory in the days after that tribulation." Mark 13:24-27; Matt.24:29-31. Confusion comes from failing to recognize that only Luke describes a "surrounding of Jerusalem by armies and the exile of Israel into all nations until Gentile Times are finished!" Jesus, in Luke's account, does not give the Sign of His Epiphany until those (3 1/2) times are completed and that sign agrees with "the Sign" which Mark and Matthew place "immediately after the great tribulation" of 1260 days. So it is wrong to suggest that Jesus came in the days after AD 70. The Sign given by Mark and Matthew (Rev.6:12-17) occurs "in the days after" the completion of 1260 days that begin with a not yet built third Temple. It will be measured for the altar and worshipers (Rev.11:1,2) but Jerusalem will be "trodden under the feet of Gentiles for 1260 days" until the Beast kills the Two Prophets and they, for up to 3 more days (Rev.11:7-12), lie dead in Jerusalem while "some must still taste death" (Mark 9:1) until the last martyr, according to Rev.6:9-11, determines the hour has come to avenge their blood.
