God made the nation of Israel to rule over the other nations righteously, under Him. However, Israel eventually turned away from God, so He told them by His prophets that they would have a period of chastisement - 70 X 7 years.
The main part of that period, 69 x 7 years has been fulfilled up to the cross, then there is a gap (of about 2,000 years), for the formation of the Body of Christ. So that brings us up to today when the Body of Christ purpose is nearly complete and then it will be the time for God to finish Israel`s chastisement of the last 7 years.
This is often called the time of Jacob`s trouble, or the tribulation and great tribulation, the time of God`s wrath for the rebellious nations.
In this series I want to look at all the details in God`s word as to the main events and when they occur in the 7 years.
Thus we will be looking at -
- When the Peace Treaty is signed.
- when Israel starts their sacrifices in their Temple again,
- when the global leader desecrates the Holy Place.
- when Christ delivers Israel and judges the nations,
- when the Temple is cleansed,
- and when there is rejoicing in Israel for their National Deliverance.
There are lots of details to put together and they all need to be within the Jewish calendar. So I`ll do a step at a time so we can understand what God is saying
