Subject: Prewrath position? |
Bible Note: Tim—I think we must have two prewrath concepts, or for that mater what constitutes God’s wrath and Satan’s wrath. I think that when antichrist establishes a covenant with Israel, that Daniel’s 70th week will start. The believers at that time will have 42 mo. to prepare for what is coming. At the mid point of the 70th week the antichrist will reveal who he really is and demand the worship of the World, i.e. the abomination of desolation. The Jew’s won’t worship antichrist and neither will the elect. This will start the great tribulation that is mentioned in Matt.24:21. The verse in Rev. 12:12, Shows it from the devil’s view point, and the short time, spoken of, is the last 3 1/2 years or 42 mo. The great tribulation and the time of Jacob’s trouble are running concurrent. The Lord will cut short the tribulation of the believers, with the rapture of his elect; this will happen some where in the last half of the 70th week. Daniel’s 70th week keeps going on though or it wouldn’t be a full 70 weeks. The verse in II Thess. 2:8 where the Lord will destroy the Wicked one with the brightness of His coming; the word for destroy, is KATARGEO, a better rendition would be to make useless, or of no effect: The reason being that the object of the Wicked one has just been removed, i.e. the rapture.
