Looking for at least one other serious Bible student - regarding end times.

[Douggg]

A lot of us can't even follow some of those charts he makes. I don't know how he reasons in his mind that some of those charts are being helpful to others when some of us can't even make heads nor tails of some of them to begin with. What ever level he is on via this chart making endeavor he has chosen to make part of his interactions with others, some of us are simply not on that level nor care to be. In general, I couldn't care less about charts. I don't find them very helpful to begin with, even simple ones that are easy to follow. Maybe because I'm old school, who knows?

Do you understand this timeline chart? It is the 7 year 70th week base timeline.

What I wrote in post #155 was...

The 2300 days of the vision of the little horn
The 1260 days of the two witnesses
The 42 months of the beast
The time, times, half time of Satan's wrath
The 1335 days of the great tribulation
The 1290 days of the tribulation of those days
...all have to fit within the 70th week.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Then I presented several timeline charts containing all of those events - which you seem to be complaining about not being able to understand. They are based upon this 7 year 70th week base timeline.

 

[Douggg]

This is speculation and error. The 6 tenets stated in Daniel 9:24 remain unfulfilled.
The final 7 years of this age are as described in Revelation, in 3 halves of 3 1/2 years. Yet to come.

keras, your statement on its own does not explain the relationship between those three. Those three blocks of time, the 1260 days, the 42 months, the time/times/half time, are shown on this chart.....

And here is the same chart, but with even more detail.

 

[Douggg]

And there is this chart I made of the person - pre 70th week - and during the 70th week.

pre-70th week
1. The ten kings arise out of the EU, then the little horn becomes their leader. king7 (of the Julio-Claudian bloodline) of the Roman Empire.
2. Next, the Gog/Magog event.
3. Next, right after Gog/Magog, the little horn as the prince who shall come enters the middle east, on the premise of peace keeper.

during the 70th week
4. Next the person is perceived by the Jews to be their messiah, and he is anointed the King of Israel, becoming the Antichrist.
5. Next, he confirms the Mt. Sinai covenant per Moses instructions in Deuteronomy 31:9-13, and the 70th week begins, day 1.
6. Next, three years thereabouts go by and then the Antichrist commits the Transgression of desolation act. Revealing himself as the man of sin.
7. Next, God has him killed for his audacious act, assassinated. Ezekiel 28:1-10.
8. Next, in disdain for the person, God brings him back to life. Isaiah 14:18-20.
9. Next, come back to life, he becomes the beast, king 8 of the Roman Empire, in the end times - the EU - dictator of it.
10. Next, after 42 months of the beast's rule, Jesus Returns and cast him into the lake of fire.

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth

Guess what, though? @BobRyan already agrees with you about that, so not certain why you are telling him that when he already agrees with this, what I quoted by you above.

Hi Dougg,

See on your detailed chart that the A/C rules for 42 months, (1,260 days) well 1,335 days starts with the A/C (time, times and a half. Dan. 12: 7) and thus is 75 days after the Lord comes.

The extra time is for -
30 days till temple cleansed. (Dan. 12: 11)
30 days for new year of trees. (living water flowing to clean the polluted rivers and seas from trib. Zech. 14: 8)
15 days till Adar 15 Israel`s National Celebration for deliverance. (Esther 9: 18 - 21 fulfillment of the feast of Purim)

Thanks for the info, I'm not familiar with Bob's eschatology

He has that right, there isn't going to be a future Millennial Kingdom on this earth, when Jesus returns its fire time, the earth is "Dissolved" (The End)

Wow, looks like God has employed the EPA for cleanup of the rivers and seas

Took God a few days to create the heavens and earth, and its going to take 30 days to clean up the seas and river, I guess thats what happens when you get old, things take a little longer to get done

Hi Marilyn, the seventy weeks in Daniel 9:24 include to seal up prophecy. The 1290 days and the 1335th day are prophecies regarding the abomination of desolation. So those have to fit within the 70 weeks.

The 1290 days and the 1335 days start - not with the Antichrist's (actually he has become the beast by then) time/times/half time - but instead start with the setting up of the abomination of desolation. That's what is in Daniel 12:11-12.

So I think you have the wrong starting point.

On my charts, I show the 42 months as the rule time of "the beast".... not the rule time of "the Antichrist". He is no longer the Antichrist for that 42 months.

The person is the Antichrist during when he is the perceived messiah to the Jews, and has been anointed the king of Israel. That lasts for about three years - until he commits the transgression of desolation, of going into the temple, sitting, claiming to have
achieved God-hood.

Here is a chart of the 1335 days and the 1290 days. They both start when the abomination of desolation is placed (setup) on the temple mount courtyard. The person will have become the beast by then, and will make war on the two witnesses for 75 days, as the two witnesses provide cover for the fleeing Jews. Finally, on day 1260, the beast overcomes the two witnesses and kills them

Jesus said the time was cut short, so actually it is a month short of 2,520 days.

 

[Douggg]

Jesus said the time was cut short, so actually it is a month short of 2,520 days.

Not cut short as lessening of the number of days of the 70th week, but cut short of all flesh on earth being destroyed. If the great tribulation were to continue more than the 1335 days of Daniel 12:11-12 - all flesh on earth would be destroyed.

The exact middle, start day of the great tribulation on your chart is wrong.

I don't know if you have room on your chart - but show the sign of the sign of the Son of man in heaven. That is actually what the 1290 days lead to, as I note on my chart below. Matthew 24:29 and Matthew 24:30a.

Best wishes on your continual study.

 

[Freth]

This is speculation and error.

It's in the very verses I quoted.

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem [<<<-->>>] unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Not so fast there on your part, there's more. Yet, he does believe in a thousand year period post the 2nd coming, though. He simply believes the earth is empty of humans during the thousand years, that all saved humans are spending the thousand years in heaven after Christ returns. And that satan is trapped on the earth for this same thousand years with no humans to bother since all of the lost were destroyed per Revelation 19:21 and that all of the saved, during the rapture, these all ascend to heaven at the time, thus Jesus does a u-turn once he leaves heaven. Keeping in mind, not my take on these things, @BobRyan take on these things. He's SDA(7th Day Adventist), though he too is a Premil, SDAs are not your typical Premils, though.

Freth, the part in red is where you are going wrong. That vision is the Daniel 8, 2300 days time of the end vision regarding the little horn.

The full seven years of the seventh week are needed to fit the 2300 days into.

Both the 70 week time prophecy and the 2300 day time prophecy have been fulfilled.

 

[keras]

Both the 70 week time prophecy and the 2300 day time prophecy have been fulfilled.

Well then; the forthcoming events will be a surprise for you.

I do agree that the 2300 evenings and mornings are history. They were the exact time between when Antiochus 4 E desecrated thetemple ane it was re-dedicated, circa 164-167 BC.

 

[Douggg]

Both the 70 week time prophecy and the 2300 day time prophecy have been fulfilled.

The 2300 days prophecy of the little horn person - is time of the end. The temple has not been built in the time of the end, for the little horn to stop the daily sacrifice. It is still future. And will not take place until after Gog/Magog - when the Jews can tear down the Dome of Rock which was built right over where the ark of the covenant was in Solomon's temple, on the original temple mount platform.

Here's an interesting video over the location of the past temples.

I do agree that the 2300 evenings and mornings are history. They were the exact time between when Antiochus 4 E desecrated thetemple ane it was re-dedicated, circa 164-167 BC.

Antiochus was not time of the end - like the little horn prophecy. Also Antiochus was responsible for the abomination of desolation of the temple - a pre-figuring of what the time of the end abomination of desolation in Daniel 12:11-12 will be.

The little horn person will commit the transgression of desolation. Something that Antiochus did not do.

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

I agree that there is no millennial kingdom on Earth
I agree that the Earth is burned up and a new Earth is created in Rev 21

But I believe that Jer 4:23 - 26 describes the conditions on Earth during the literal 1000 years of Rev 20.

23 I looked at the earth, and behold, it was a formless and desolate emptiness;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
And all the hills jolted back and forth.
25 I looked, and behold, there was no human,
And all the birds of the sky had fled.
26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were pulled down
Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.

The reason there are no humans here at that time is because at the Matt 24:29-21 appearing of Christ where the 1 Thess 4:13-18 rapture takes place as promised in John 14:1-3 -- all the saints are taken to heaven and as 2 Thess 1:5-9 says - all the lost are slain.

The Earth is then left in the Jer 4:23-26 condition "desolate" and empty of humans.

At the end of the Rev 20 thousand years the Holy City returns with the saints - the wicked are judged, the lake of fire consumes the wicked and the surface of the Earth becomes a "lake of fire" then in Rev 21 the New Earth is created out of this existing one that was purged by fire.

 

[BobRyan]

The 2300 days prophecy of the little horn person - is time of the end. The temple has not been built in the time of the end, for the little horn to stop the daily sacrifice. It is still future.

Dan 8 does not say that the little horn stops the daily sacrifice after the 2300 day-for-year timeline of Dan 8:14 ends. Rather as both Dan 7 and 8 show - the little horn does damage all during the 1260 day-for-year timeline in Dan 7 and all during the 2300 day-for-year timeline in Dan 8. (the two timelines overlap).

The 490 day-for-year timeline of Dan 9 overlaps with the 2300 day-for-year timeline of Dan 8, and gives the start event for both the 490 years and the 2300 years - both of those timelines start at the same point.

 

[BobRyan]

Well then; the forthcoming events will be a surprise for you.

If you read the OP carefully you find that this is the challenge being put to those who hold other views than mine...

It's harder to find than you might think. A lot of people view forums like this one on endtimes as not really for serious Bible students since few if any are willing to consider that they are wrong about something and will not accept a text in opposition to their view no matter how clear it is.

So let's propose something a bit more serious and reasonable --

Starting at 55:58 in that video of a church service
(keep watching to see the BIG BANG near the end from Rev 6)

near the start of this sermon he gives some examples of historic failures to take end-time, crisis, critical events "seriously".

1. The Flood -- The entire planet gets it wrong - only 8 people get it right.
And the "thinking" ??

"I am not sure if Noah is right - so I may not join him but I will be near enough - so that when I see rain start to form/fall, or hear thunder, I will get in the boat".​

And of course the "Flaw" in that not-serious solution is that the door of the ark closed seven days BEFORE the rain starts to fall according to Gen 7.

2. The coming of the Messiah - "He came to His own and His own received Him not" John 1:11 - the "nation got it wrong".
And "the thinking"??

" Why should I worry about which of all these fake messiah claims are legit when I can just wait until some so-called Messiah comes along and frees us from the Romans - as soon as I see him do that I will join in and miss all the fake false messiahs".​

And the flaw -- is that they would reject the Is 53 Messiah that came to save the world from sin.

The video makes the argument that "bad doctrine has consequences" as in the case of Eve, as in the case of those that "missed the boat".


======================================= part I
The video above is about Rev 13 and 14 and the first part (Part I) is referenced a few times in that video so I am including it here

Title: Rev 13 – “The mark of the beast”

Begins at 00:00
=======================================================

One thing that stands out is that "getting it wrong" was not just "mildly inconvenient on some tiny level" - but in fact was fatal.


Next the video gets into our current situation - where we are dealing with end time events for planet Earth.

1. Rapture: (many flavors of this idea in the Bible some of them discussed in the sermon)

Almost all the popular versions have NO DOWNSIDE to getting the rapture teaching wrong. No matter what you are thinking or expecting you get raptured anyway as a Christian. So why waste your time trying to figure out the details of that topic - as long as you are a Christian. Unlike ALL the real examples in the Bible where getting it wrong matters. (Even though I do accept a version of the Rapture teaching as being in scripture)​

2. No Rapture; (several flavors of this)

Almost all the popular versions have NO DOWNSIDE to getting the no-rapture teaching wrong. No matter what you are thinking or expecting you get the wonderful ending of Christ on Earth fixing everything for you in the end. (And even I view Christ as fixing things on Earth but not in the typical millennial kingdom on Earth fashion)​

​

So why waste your time solving the details on that topic - as long as you are a Christian. Since in that case - and unlike ALL the real examples in the Bible where getting it wrong matters) it matters not if you figure out the details.​

​

My view is that it does matter (just as in all major crisis examples) and that the "it really does not matter" endings reveal a problem somewhere in the scenario being proposed.

​

The video proposes a more serious option where it DOES matter at the end of the world JUST LIKE it mattered in the case of Eve, and Noah, and John the baptizer and in the days of Paul etc.

Is there even one other serious Bible student on this area of the forum willing to take an honest look at the option proposed there - even though it does not fit your bias?

===============================

If you are tempted to post something like one of the following ... please don't since I already agree that you have the free will to go that direction
1. I don't have to listen to any view that is not my own if I choose not to
2. I choose to only have bad things to say about people or views that are not my own rather than looking at details in that view
3. I already looked at Bible details to get to my current view and don't have time to look any further

By sparing us those posts you are doing a big favor to us all in the spirit of open discussion. I thank you in advance.

----------------------------

In other words - if you are simply offering another of the many "does not matter if my view is right or wrong" options and you are satisfied with that - then consider looking at the one scenario proposed here - where it DOES matter if that one is right.

If you think that your view matters - and not being aware of your scenario is fatal as in the days of Noah people who knew nothing of Noah's scenario being right -- suffered a lot as a consequence --- then show us just how it is that your view matters.

Choose to do one or the other.

Revelation 20:1-6 Isnt A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Dont Be Deceived​

Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?
2.) Physical Earthly Throne?
3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a 8thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
