The Times of the Gentiles refers to the Church Age. The Trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles is only about the Beasts 42 month reign. Some people confuse the two so I put that out there. As per the timing, the Rapture will happen, then the 70thy week. If you are in the Rapture you will never know the 70th week troubles, so don't sweat it.
This is about the Day of the Lord or God's Wrath/the Lambs Wrath, not the Rapture per se which happens BEFORE the DOTL which happens when the First Seal is opened in the Middle of the week.
The Jewisahy 144,00 are never called witnesses, that a "MEN'S TRADITION" go find anywhere in Revelation that says they Preach, you can't, I used to buy that also, for 25 years. The 144,000 is a METAPHOR for the Fulness or ALL ISRAEL like Isaiah and Paul spoke of, not every Jew, but Israel as a Nation is saved. Thus the 144,000 is 12 x 12,000 {the number 12 = Fullness}. Zechariah 13:8-9 says that 1/3 of the Jews REPENT and 2/3 do not REPENT thus Perish, so that tells us this 144,000 is a metaphor for 2-3 million Jews in Israel or 5-6 million Jews worldwide. They Flee to Judea just before the Seals are opened, at the AoD which happens 30 days before the Beast Conquers Jerusalem at the 1260. {AoD = 1290}.
144,000 just means ALL ISRAEL who Repent. Those that God protects in the Wilderness, Rev. 12 calls these same people, The Woman.
The Marriage Supper is Armageddon, on earth. The Church is Raptured to Heaven and Marries the Lamb, then we RETURN for the Marriage Supper.
Sorry, RT, but I think you missed it here.
The "times of the Gentiles" IN CONTEXT refers to who politally own and occupies the city of Jerusalem. Israel lost in in 70 AD and got it back in 1967. The "times of the Gentiles" is over. Your theory is correct if it were the "fullness of the Gentiles." That ends with the rapture.
If you are in the Rapture you will never know the 70th week troubles, so don't sweat it. Absolutely right! Good job!
which happens BEFORE the DOTL which happens when the First Seal is opened in the Middle of the week. Sorry, but you missed it here. Yes, the rapture happens JUST (a moment) before the Day of the Lord. I think the rapture will be the trigger for the start of the DAY. But the first seal was opened as soon as Jesus ascended back into heaven, as proven by Rev. chapter 5. The first seal is to represent the church sent out with the gospel.
Seals 2 through 4 are to represent the devil's attempts to stop the advance of the gospel, to hold it in that 1/4 of the earth God allowed them to operate in.
Seal 5 is for the martyrs of the church age. Seal 6 begins the DAy of the Lord and His wrath.
The Jewisahy 144,00 are never called witnesses, that a "MEN'S TRADITION" go find anywhere in Revelation that says they Preach, you can't, I used to buy that also, for 25 years. Hallelujah! RIGHT! You are the first person I have ever seen write this. They MAY be witnesses for Christ, but John does not tell us. No one should insist they are.
The 144,000 is a METAPHOR for the Fulness or ALL ISRAEL like Isaiah and Paul spoke of No, cannot possibly be. They are called FIRSTfruits. That very title tells us the larger or main harvest of the descendants of Jacob will come later. Let's call them what John called them: 144,000 firstfruits of Israel's harvest.
They Flee to Judea just before the Seals are opened Show us a scripture.
at the AoD which happens 30 days before the Beast Conquers Jerusalem at the 1260 This is a misunderstanding of the timing. The beast NEVER "conquers" Jerusalem. The Messiah comes before it is totally "conquered." First he will DECEIVE them and will make Jerusalem his headquarters for most of the last half of the week, deceiving the entire world from that city, but then will lead the armies of the world in trying to conquer Jerusalem. Of course he would succeed, except their Messiah comes and defeats the combined armies of the world.
The week is 2520 days long. The man of sin will enter the temple and declare he is the God of the Jews on day 1260. Armageddon will be well AFTER the last day of the week. (The week ends with the 7th vial.)
{AoD = 1290} No, the abomination will divide the week into two equal halves. John proves this by using 1260 days twice, and 42 months twice for the last half of the week. For the readers, the 1290 days as written in Daniel 12 is referencing an event that will take place AFTER the entire 70th week has ended; or after the last 1260 days. It will be some event 30 days after the week ends. It COULD be the cleansing of the temple. It COULD be the day Jesus descends to Armageddon. The marriage and supper may well be 30 days.
Rev. 12 calls these same people, The Woman. No, the woman is "Israel" from whom the Messiah came. Rev. 12:1-5 is about the birth of Christ and how Satan, the Dragon, tried to use King Herod to murder Jesus as a young boy. Consider these 5 verses to be a parenthesis. The next verse, verse 6, is only seconds after the man of sin declares he is God.
The Marriage Supper is Armageddon, on earth. This is MILES from the truth. The marriage supper is IN HEAVEN before John descends. Don't try to rearrange what John wrote. The dead bodies will indeed be food for the birds, but sorry, that is not in any way the marriage supper. Many people by now have been to heaven and returned to tell, and have SEEN the preparations for the supper: tables spread as far as the eye can see, with chairs with names on them! More recently people have seen this and were told that the preparations or all over: Heaven is now just awaiting the Bride.
