Hey , I would like to know at exactly which point in the 7 year of tribulation is Mark of Beast given to people?
First, in Daniel 9:27, the Prince has already confirmed the Covenant. It was the Prince of peace who established the New Covenant church, took away the sin of his people and ended their warfare. How many times does God's word have to testify to this before you accept it a truth.
Hebrews 8:9-12
- "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
- For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
- And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
- For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
- In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
Some people keep presenting Scriptures that are fulfilled, while ignoring God's Word that He has done all this. Moreover, pre-tribulationists present this scripture purporting a seven year tribulation period, but the Scripture itself does not at all "say" that the tribulation period will be seven years, nor that this one week in which the Covenant is confirmed (literally, made strong), is the great tribulation period. So it's all your private interpretation of the verse, not something the verse actually says. Indeed, the verse itself destroys your interpretation because it says that in the midst of this week this abomination of desolation starts. Not at the beginning of it. So if this were seven years, then the tribulation would be 3 1/2 years, not seven. Christ identifies the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel as the time of this great tribulation.
Matthew 24:21
- "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
So therefore your theory has to be incorrect. This manipulation of the Scriptures by favorite authors is typical of both Dispensationalism and Premillennialism in general. Both systems of interpretation "
read things" into the scriptures that are
not actually there, and then make claims that
their's is a literalist system.
Can you give us even one single Scripture that says that the great tribulation period lasts for 7 years? That's not from the inerrant
authority of the word,
that's your personal interpretation of the word. Or can you give us even one Scripture that says the believers will be taken out of the world
before the Great Tribulation? Again, not a private interpretation, which some Theologians claim "may mean that," but any actual scripture that says that the church cannot go through the Great Tribulation and must, or will, be raptured before it starts?
Matthew 24:15
- "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: )"
How can they both be in the world and see the great tribulation, and have already been taken out of the world before it? On the contrary, God informs us that not only will the saints be here, but they should be aware that when they "see" the abomination of desolation,they are to flee to the mountains. So from the inerrant authority of Scriptures, it is absurd to think that the saints will have been raptured because God didn't want them to go through the wrath of this tribulation.
Therefore we understand that this is either your interpretation or the thoughts of your teachers. But it is not the actual word of God. Do you know of any Scripture that says people are going to be physically martyred by the millions in the great tribulation? ..I've searched the Scriptures for years and I can't come up with such a declaration. So this begs the question, where did you get that number? God's word is what we must look to for doctrine, correction and our instruction in what is the great tribulation. It is not Dr. Dave Breese's book.
2nd Timothy 3:16-17
- ""All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
- That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good
works."
If we are to be perfect before God, we must look to His Holy word alone, and it will thoroughly equip us to know what is the truth so that we will follow the His doctrines, and eschew the words and deceptions of men. We have to keep the word perfectly clear before us, that we know the difference between our own interpretations, and God's word itself. When we faithfully bear witness to God's word so that we can quote it word for word, then we know we have truth. When we do not, we have only the words, ideas and imaginations of man's heart.
Is it at the beginning when Antichrist comes to power and confirms peace treaty with many?
Is it in the middle when he desolated temple?
Where does it says in Scripture that Antichrist comes to power and sign/confirms a peace treaty on a piece of paper? You asked if it is in the middle when he desolated temple only proved my point above. You do not know what you are talking about!
If you want to know when the Mark of the Beast will be implenented. Please read the verse:
Rev 13:11-18
(11) And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
(12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
(13) And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
(14) And
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
(15) And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
(16) And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
(17) And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
(18) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
You need to do some more homework and ask yourself:
1.) What is God's defination of the beast?
2.) What does the earth represents in versre 11?
3.) What does the horns in Scripture signifies?
4.) What does the lamb in Scirpture signifies?
5.) Who is this dragon?
6.) How will the beast deceive by the means of those miracles. What miracles is this?
7.) What power does the beast have that give life into the image of the beast and make it to speak?
8.) What is the image of the beast?
9.) How will the beast cause EVERYONE to receive a mark in their right hand or foreheads?
10.) What does the right hand in Scripture signifies?
11.) What does the forehead in Scirpture signifies?
12.) Is the mark literal or spiritual?
13.) What can the man sell or buy with the mark?
And finally...
14.) WHEN will the mark of the beast starts?
Take your time. (Hint: This has
NOTHING to do with so-called one supernatural man or religion leader (antichrist's so-called sidekick), a physical mark, or something you need to buy food at 7-11, or a man-made statue that miraculously speaks before news media or smartphones).
