Bob, as I am reading the bottom chart, it indicates that the great tribulation ended in 1843/44.
It looks like it shows the Dan 12:7, Dan 7, Rev 11 and Rev 13;5 trib to end in 1798 -- to me
================== Matt 24 context
The question: that was asked
Matthew 24
1 Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.
2 And He said to them, ""
Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.''
3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ""Tell us,
1. when will these things happen,
2. and
what will be the sign of Your coming,
3. and
of the end of the age?''
1. We know Jerusalem would be destroyed in 70 A.D. and the sign given by Christ in Matt 24 was used to spare believers from the destruction of Jerusalem
2. We also know of many many centuries of Dark Ages persecution of the saints. A many centuries long persecution never to be repeated in terms of length of time for persecution.
3. We know that there is coming a much shorter and more devastating tribulation just before the 2nd coming - still future even for us.
Here we see a clear reference to the future event in 70 A.D the destruction of Jerusalem.
2 And He said to them, ""
Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.''
Jesus' answer covers all 3 questions but not all in consecutive order.
I don't see the rationale given that the generation (parable of the fig tree) which experiences the great tribulation will not pass without witnessing Jesus's physical return
Jesus's physical return at the 2nd coming (second coming Rev 19) is not the same as his "physical return
to Earth" that we see in Rev 20 at the end of the 1000 years which is the point when the Mt. of Olives is split in half.
The return of Christ in
Matt 24 that is the 2nd coming event is the one where "He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet blast, and t
hey will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other" - what many people term "the rapture". It is the event in 1 Thess 4 and in Rev 19. "The second coming" of John 14:1-3
The fig tree example in Matt 24 is about the "second coming" physical literal appearing of Christ where the angels gather the elect "
from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other"
29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet blast, and they will
gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 so you too,
when you see all these things, recognize that He is near,
right at the door. 34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
34 "I tell you the truth. T
he people who are living then, will not die before all these things happen."
Worldwide English (New Testament)
======================
When you see all what things?
29 “But immediately after the tribulation:
- after the tribulation of those days
- the sun will be darkened,
- and the moon will not give its light,
- and the stars will fall from the sky,
- and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
- 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,
"and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they
will see the Son of Man coming "
It is only the case of the generation that "sees all these things"
