scripture doesn't allow us to add to the time of trouble, it simply wouldn't make sense to start with............

Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

if the tribulation lasts for 7 years , then are the gentiles only going to lay siege to the holy city for 3.5 years, and which 3.5 years, first half or second half ?

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

God's two prophets are only going to hold witness against the beast for 3.5 years.......................why ? and keep in mind after their witness is completed they are killed then afterwards raised up from death in the first resurrection

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

God is only going to protect the true church for 3.5 years, again which............ the first or second half and then they are left to fend for themselves against satan the other 3.5 years ? what happened to Christ's promise "I am always with you"

Revelation 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

God allows the beast to rule ONLY for 3.5 years...............if the beast isn't ruling for the other 3.5 years how will there be tribulation at all ???
Notice the first four trumpets in Rev. 8 last 1260 days which hurt the earth, and this is also the time when the Vatican is nuked (17.16).

Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Daniel was first told there would be a great time of trouble then following in this verse he was told that it would last 3.5 years also

just why is God withholding vital information from his servants and not telling them that the tribulation is going to be longer than what they were told....................specifically Daniel and John ????

holding to a 7year tribulation just leaves us with a contradiction between the premise and what scripture is teaching, scripture keeps saying 3.5 years.....................
The reason why the Great Tribulation is 3.5 years is because the Antichrist reigns in the Temple at that time.

The last seven is also 2,520 days. It would be weird if it wasn't.

The first half of the 7 years only hurts the earth with the exception of the Vatican being nuked.

what you refer to as "antichrist" is the beast, false prophet, and babylon the harlot.............

the beast is the military / civil ruler
the false prophet is the "ecclesiastical" power who heads the false church (bablyon)............

antichrist going into the temple is the man of sin (false prophet)
his other name is the son of perdition.................

neither part of antichrist rules separately from the other, the beast is the ruler, the false prophet promotes the beast to be worshiped and at the same time promoting himself to be worshiped too as "God" by all the world's inhabitants.....................

once again scripture simply doesn't teach there will be an "antichrist" ruling for 3.5 years, then "another antichrist" ruling for a different 3.5 years.............................this becomes a real stretch of the imagination

once again scripture simply states the beast is allowed by God ONLY TO RULE for 3.5 years (forty and two months)..............no longer (Rev 13)

you simply can't add to the amount of time just because your doctrine says otherwise........................

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

The great harlot is religous Rome, the Roman Church that sits on the beast of nations and makes them drunk with the wine of the wrath of her fornications (Rev. 14.8).

Babylon is both political Rome with its 7 heads and religious Rome.

The 1st beast could simply be someone like King William V if he were to work for the United Nations and the False Prophet could be someone like Barack Hussein Obama.

Neron Kaiser = 666 in Aramaic Son of Perdition. Judas was also the son of perdition. Both get resurrected to be the Antichrist and False Prophet. Antichrist inhabits the body of King William V and False Prophet inhabits the body of Barack.

2 Thess. 2.4 says Antichrist, and the image of the Antichrist will be erected by the False Prophet in the 3rd Temple. Revelation says his rule is 3.5 years just as the Great Tribulation is.

I've never pushed a date back ever. The Tribulation is still 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.

I only used the year 2023 as a starting point to derive the Tribulation. But you would have known that if you read carefully and conscientiously enough the opening post.

The Prince who shall come shall confirm the covenant with many for seven years to begin the 7 years. What bible passage do you refer to regarding the confirming of the covenant to be on the Feast of Trumpets?

Oh good grief - the latest empty Futuristic speculation. First it was 40 years (a generation) after the formation of modern day Israel in 1948. 1948 + 40 = 1988. 1988 came and went and was selectively forgotten.

Next it was stated that the "correct" starting date was actually 1967 with the capture of Jerusalem. So 1967 + 40= 2007. This also came and went - and was forgotten. Now it is 1948 + 75 years (the new generation definition) so this will be in 2023. What happened to the "Correct" starting date of 1967? Maybe the next speculation will be 75 years after the 1967 war which equals 2042.

With a negative credibility rating why would anyone believe this stuff. Not one futuristic speculation has come to pass in the last 60 years despite the fact that there are thousands of them.

Best not to put dates on speculations, but rather try to keep them all in the future where you cannot be proven to be wrong.

A generation was never 40 years because that group of Israelite's were already adults when they began their time in the wilderness.

Those combinations turned out to be incorrect. There is only one viable combination left and that is the 1967 +70 years for not later than 2037.

"Seven year covenant" is the same as "the covenant is confirmed for seven years".

Not it is not the same.

The convenant is confirmed for 7 years because it is cyclical requirement.

Back in Deuteronomy 31, the Israelite s, the second generation were about to go into the promised land. Moses gave the order even though he knew that he would not be accompanying them. So Moses made a requirement to commemorate the event of them entering the promised land.

That requirement was every 7 years, for all future generations, his orders to go in and possess the land would be read to the entire congregation of Israel on the feast of tabernacles, at the place of God's choosing.

So it is the Mt. Sinai covenant which will be confirmed for the 7 year cycle, as the Antichrist, in the false King (messiah, anointed) of Israel stage of his career, will oversee the reading from the temple mount, resetting the cycle.

The place of God's choosing, the Jews take to be the temple mount. Of course this has not been done for 2000 years because the Jews have not been allowed to do so by the authorities in power.

10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

This shows the False Prophet began his time period in 1967 when Jerusalem was unlawfully taken. For every prophet needs access to Jerusalem as Jesus told us. His time is for 70 years just like the captivity in Babylon was for 70 years. Then the date would be similarily to what you say above, 2037 or 2040AD. That is because the "hour of temptation" which calculates as 40 years began after six millenniums had passed in the year 2000AD

The change from following the stict governmental Beast(sin is in the law), of our parents generation was challenged in 1967 by the hippy freedom movement. These hippies were following the tune of freedom played by the false prophet on his flute. This first generation of hippies followed freedom so thoughlessly that today they have ruined almost all of the 2000 years of Christian civilization that was built up by their faithful ancestors. Today the Christian world is still following this false piper and will continue until he is killed in Jerusalem.

For Jesus said, "it cannot be that a prophet is killed outside of Jerusalem."

2 Thess. 2.4 says Antichrist, and the image of the Antichrist will be erected by the False Prophet in the 3rd Temple. Revelation says his rule is 3.5 years just as the Great Tribulation is.

:doh:I almost don't know where to begin. Regarding the Antichrist and the beast, it is not a simple matter of one person involved. It is two different persons. One an end times individual. The other an ancient individual, who in disembodied spirit form is in the bottomless pit right now.

Right before there are 42 months left in the seven years, the Antichrist will have been slain and miraculously comes back to life, and is possessed by the spirit of the ancient individual in the bottomless pit, Nimrod imo. Combined, the result is the Antichrist beast who rules the world for that final 42 months.

Before then, the beast resides in the bottomless pit and doesn't come out.

So up until the Antichrist is possessed by the beast ascending out of the bottomless pit, the Antichrist has a career of his own. And because of the nature of his career, he has to be a Jew, for one of the stages.


  • We are talking about a Jew who rises to political heights to become leader of Europe;
  • who then comes to the rescue of the Jews when Gog/Magog takes place;
  • who then is seen by the Jews as their promised great King of Israel, messiah or christ;
  • who for some reason apparently sells himself out to Satan and becomes the man of sin;
  • who the Jews drop like a hot potato as their messiah;
  • who is slain and miraculously recovers, and the beast in the bottomless pit ascends out of to possess him.

Unless Prince William is a Jew, he cannot be the Antichrist.

Prince William ancestory is Jewish and goes back to the Davidic line.

Being a Jew means a person's mother has to be a Jew. It is rumored by some that princess Diana's mother was a Jew, which would make Diana a Jew, which in turn would make William a Jew. But that is a rumor.

The Antichrist (not the beast person presently in the bottomless pit) starts out by rising up among ten kings, and removes three of them. Watch for a European Jew who, imo, will shortly emerge because of the Eurozone crisis, i.e. Greece, which is raising its ugly head again. The Europeans fear contagion to the other countries in the EU.

I think they are going to put one person in charge who is going to have the authority to remove governmental heads of countries who don't don't tow the fiscal (budget) line.

The Antichrist is the "first beast," Neron Kaiser (666 in Aramaic), whom Satan takes out from the pit and possesses Prince William who becomes King William V in 2015 the year the Tribulation starts from Sept. 14, 2015 Feast of Trumpets for 2,520 days to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.

The one who emerges is the Antichrist and he will take over 3 countries: Great Britian, Scotland and Ireland from the northwest.

"And the ten horns out of this kingdom [Europe] [are] ten kings [that] shall arise [first 10 countries of the European Communities]: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first [ones], and he shall subdue three kings" (Dan. 7.24).

The first 10 countries formed was by 1982 the year Prince William was born.

"And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land] [Israel]" (Dan. 8.9).

Heading south and towards the east is from the north and the west where Scotland, Ireland and England are.

Their debt/gdp and deficits are the worst.

Rev. 18 says the ship merchants will cry because they will no longer be able to sell their goods to the European Union which is centered on the 7 hills of Rome. That's the only part that confuses me because as we all anticipate it is the US Dollar that should crash making USA unable to buy the goods of the world, but the Euro should keep increasing in value because of austerity measures in Europe.

Any advice on this quandry?

So you think both the Queen and Prince Charles are going to die in the next three years for William to become King? Riiiight.

:thumbsup:Your right on the money!

-Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

-Act 19:24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
Act 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Act 19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
Act 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Diana{Isis},who's son restores the kingdom of Nimrod{Babylon}. Interesting enough, the only perfume that Diana ever put on the market was named {Isis}.
GOD used Queen Elizabeth's printer to bring the world the Bible{KJV},and it looks like Satan will use Queen Elizabeth's grandson to bring the world his anti-Christ.

The Antichrist is first beast. The False Prophet is the second beast.

The great harlot is religous Rome, the Roman Church that sits on the beast of nations and makes them drunk with the wine of the wrath of her fornications (Rev. 14.8).

Babylon is both political Rome with its 7 heads and religious Rome.

The 1st beast could simply be someone like King William V if he were to work for the United Nations and the False Prophet could be someone like Barack Hussein Obama.

2 Thess. 2.4 says Antichrist, and the image of the Antichrist will be erected by the False Prophet in the 3rd Temple. Revelation says his rule is 3.5 years just as the Great Tribulation is.

your scenario is a concoction of pure imagination...........you have dead people being resurrected and at the same time inhabiting (possession) other peoples' bodies..................after men die there is only one that has power of resurrection and it certainly isn't satan.................

your first mistake was identifying the beast as a person when scripture had already made clear what the symbol of the beast is.................ie..............a world ruling empire................it's first made clear by Nebuchadnezzar's dream then Daniel's dreams and visions

Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar what the image means, each of it's metal parts represents kingdoms then Daniel is told that the beasts represent the same thing in his dreams and visions...............

in both Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniels dreams and visions it's shown that the last of these world ruling empires would exist right up to the time of Christ's return, both showing that Christ destroys this final revival of the last of the kingdoms......which is obviously the Roman Empire.................

now to top that all off John again is shown Daniel's beasts conglomerated into one Beast since the Roman empire is the only one that existed before John and during his time and it would rise back up in the future end time and Christ would destroy it

in a sense John is taught what Daniel was already taught hundreds of years earlier...........the obvious difference being that Revelation is much more detailed and this prophecy is not sealed up as far as being able to understand it as Daniels prophecy was

you're not even identifying who is who and what is what according to scripture....................again yours is an exercise in speculation and conjecture

personally speaking I think the suggestion of satan having powers to resurrect to life is blasphemous against Christ since he is the only one to get the victory over death and the grave

and exactly what scripture(s) says "second half" ?
Whenever you see the number 1260. Daniel's final seven is 2,520 days like all the other sevens, and it is the smallest number divisible by 2 to 10.

After the first four trumpets (Rev. 8.7) of the Tribulation of 1260 days then comes the 3 woes or last 3 trumpets (Rev. 9-11) which are 1260 days.
