Matthew 24 Revealed: Understanding The Timeline

[Revealing Times]

Hello RT.

A long post you submitted.

Just replying to each reply. If you would study it in depth you would understand why the 70 AD angle can not be true.

They are not the same, one was a chosen nation and the modern one is not.

One was a theocratic nation, the modern Israel is a secular, western democracy. If you think Israel will build another temple, in order to sacrifice animals for their sin, think again.

Israel LIVES AGAIN, just like Ezekiel prophesied........Son of Man-CAN THESE BONES LIVE AGAIN !! No one replaces Israel, that's replacement theology, and it is very corrupt.

The woman could also be the church, Israel was never clothed in Christ (sun).

Revelation opens up to people when they understand its encoded by the Old Testament. Israel was clothed in the Sun, Moon and 11 Stars, Joseph being the 12th Star.

Genesis 37:9 And he (Joseph) dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

The Woman (Israel) in Rev. 12 is clothed with the Sun (Jacob) Moon (Rachel) and 12 Stars (His 11 Brothers and Joseph) and that my friend means the Woman is Israel.

No assumption on my behalf, Luke distinctly specifies two distinct ages.

I made it simple for you. The Abomination of Desolation is an END TIME EVENT.

The abomination of desolation is the destruction of the second temple.

NO IT IS NOT................If you understand Daniel 9:27 you will understand that it actually means an Image of the Beast is placed in the Temple.

Luke's letter was probably written after the destruction of the temple. Matthew's account was probably written before the temple was destroyed. Hence the difference between these two accounts.

I doubt it, but Jesus spoke the words before he died, OF COURSE.

Hello RT.

Do you really believe in this day and age, that the nation of Israel will build a temple.

A temple to sacrifice animals according to the requirements of the law of Moses?

This is one of the most bizarre beliefs that I have seen on this forum.

That belief is shared by the vast majority of Christians, so I do not understand your point.

Of course the daily Sacrifice will be Jesus by the time the Anti-Christ takes over.

The Abomination of Desolation is an End Time Event. Reading Daniel 12:1-2 and Matthew 14-22 along with Revelation 12 proves it 100 percent.

Hi Marilyn, why do you opt on the 80th anniversary as a nation?

Hi Douggg,

I chose the 80th as by then that `fig tree` generation would be passing away. Only some would be left & that would not therefore be `that generation` but a very small part. I actually believe the Lord comes to deliver Israel & judge the nations the year earlier.

regards, & thanks for being interested. Marilyn.

Based on Luke 21, the times of the Gentiles began at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and will continue until Christ's Second Coming.

Hi BABerean2,

The Gentiles have been ruling the world since the first World Ruler, instigated by God - the King of Babylon. God foretells each successive World Ruler & we know there is a final Gentile World Ruler to come. The historic World Rulers have been all judged by God, (& will not be resurrected) & the last one will also be judged by God. That is the `times of the Gentiles,` God`s overview of the Gentiles ruling the world.

Hi klutedavid,

The Jewish temple is already built & operational. They already have a `red heifer` that they will continue to breed from for their sacrifices in the future & the priests are being trained for the rituals.

No Marilyn, the third temple is not now in operation.

However, it may have been prefabricated and placed in storage. The red heifer breeding program is in full swing as well as selection of the temple priests.

Any Christian who views a rebuilt Jewish temple as a good thing is a victim of one of the greatest deceptions in the history of the Church.
God ripped the temple veil in half on the day of Calvary to show that animal sacrifices are no longer needed.
If God ripped the veil in half, who is going to repair it?
Read the Book of Hebrews to find out what God now thinks of animal sacrifices.

A rebuilt temple with renewed animal sacrifices will be one more rejection of God's Son.
It would be a return to the same spiritual condition that was in place during 70 AD with the Pharisees continuing to offer dead animals while they rejected Christ as the Messiah.
Why do you think God allowed the Romans under the command of Titus to destroy the temple?
It was foretold in Daniel chapter 9, by the angel Gabriel.

A modern temple would be a system of the Pharisees who rejected the "chief cornerstone" found in Matthew chapter 21.

Pastor Mark Blitz is one of those who has been deceived and is supporting the effort.
Part of this is due to the continuing battle between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant produced by modern Judaisers.

Much of this confusion can be laid at the feet of modern Dispensational Theology, which claims the temple must be rebuilt and animal sacrifices must be renewed before the return of Christ. They fail to see that they are promoting the synagogue of Satan, found in Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9.

Well, it could happen that before 2021 the 70th week begins. If it doesn't turn out that way, 1967 Jerusalem in the hands of the Jew and 70 years will turn out to be correct over the Israel as a nation again base year.

No, Christians should be observers, and not participants, as it is a prophesy matter of something that will happen.

The Jewish temple is already built & operational. They already have a `red heifer` that they will continue to breed from for their sacrifices in the future & the priests are being trained for the rituals.

Here's what happened when Roman emperor Julian and the Jews attempted it in the 4th century AD:

"...the Jews themselves were impelled by the consideration that the time had arrived for rebuilding their temple. When they had removed the ruins of the former building, they dug up the ground and cleared away its foundation; it is said that on the following day when they were about to lay the first foundation, a great earthquake occurred, and by the violent agitation of the earth, stones were thrown up from the depths, by which those of the Jews who were engaged in the work were wounded, as likewise those who were merely looking on. The houses and public porticos, near the site of the temple, in which they had diverted themselves, were suddenly thrown down; many were caught thereby, some perished immediately, others were found half dead and mutilated of hands or legs, others were injured in other parts of the body. When God caused the earthquake to cease, the workmen who survived again returned to their task, partly because such was the edict of the emperor, and partly because they were themselves interested in the undertaking. Men often, in endeavoring to gratify their own passions, seek what is injurious to them, reject what would be truly advantageous, and are deluded-by the idea that nothing is really useful except what is agreeable to them. When once led astray by this error, they are no longer able to act in a manner conducive to their own interests, or to take warning by the calamities which are visited upon them.

The Jews, I believe, were just in this state; for, instead of regarding this unexpected earthquake as a manifest indication that God was opposed to the re-erection of their temple, they proceeded to recommence the work. But all parties relate, that they had scarcely returned to the undertaking, when fire burst suddenly from the foundations of the temple, and consumed several of the workmen.

This fact is fearlessly stated, and believed by all; the only discrepancy in the narrative is that some maintain that flame burst from the interior of the temple, as the workmen were striving to force an entrance, while others say that the fire proceeded directly from the earth. In whichever way the phenomenon might have occurred, it is equally wonderful. A more tangible and still more extraordinary prodigy ensued; suddenly the sign of the cross appeared spontaneously on the garments of the persons engaged in the undertaking. These crosses were disposed like stars, and appeared the work of art. Many were hence led to confess that Christ is God, and that the rebuilding of the temple was not pleasing to Him; others presented themselves in the church, were initiated, and besought Christ, with hymns and supplications, to pardon their transgression. If any one does not feel disposed to believe my narrative, let him go and be convinced by those who heard the facts I have related from the eyewitnesses of them, for they are still alive. Let him inquire, also, of the Jews and pagans who left the work in an incomplete state, or who, to speak more accurately, were able to commence it."

If dispensationalists really are determined to roll the dice, then be prepared to accept responsibility for the potential ensuing consequences. The world watches.

That is IRRELEVANT to what Prophecy says will come to pass. We know and understand that Israel is blinded IN PART until they accept Jesus as their Messiah. So if God is going to show us things that WILL HAPPEN, that doesn't have to mean it is pleasing to God. The Anti-Christ Conquering Jerusalem and killing billions is not PLEASING to God, but it is a FACTUAL EVENT that is going to happen so it is in Prophecy.

Why do you try and correlate that which is in PROPHECY with that which God approves of? So thereby your theory collapses, it is irrelevant what God approves of via Israel, because they are back-slidden. It will only matter after they REPENT, then I am sure they will worship Jesus in the Temple, and the Anti-Christ will then defile the Temple. If Israel were till sacrificing animals in the Temple when the Anti-Christ took over, he couldn't defile that which was already defiled !! Israel REPENTS....Thus all Israel is saved. She turns to Jesus before the Day of the LORD (Malachi 4:5-6) because God sends the two-witnesses back before the Day of the Lord (Gods Wrath).

Zechariah 12, 13 and 14 tell the complete story.

Israel Repents Zechariah 12:10 and Mourns for Jesus.............................

Zechariah 13:1 On that day (that they repent) God opens a Fountain (Blood of Jesus/Holy Spirit) for SINS and UNCLEANNESS.......................

Zechariah chapter 14, Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives (Rev. 16 the 6th and 7th Vials) and destroys all of the Nations who have Gathered against Israel at Armageddon.

So we see Israel REPENTS FIRST..........And Receives the Holy Spirit............Then Jesus returns afterwards.

A............B..............C

Hello RT.

Thanks for the reply.

Your eschatology is popular, yes, but only because it is widely taught.

On your quotation from Daniel, did you notice on whose behalf the prophecy was given.

Daniel 9:24
Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression.

Which people and which city has the seventy week period been applied to?

 

[klutedavid]

Hi klutedavid,

The Jewish temple is already built & operational. They already have a `red heifer` that they will continue to breed from for their sacrifices in the future & the priests are being trained for the rituals.

Marilyn.

Hello Marilyn.

The Jewish temple must be situated on the temple mount. The temple mount has three Muslim holy buildings on site, but no Jewish temple. That is why you can see the orthodox Jews still praying at the western wall, no temple exists, otherwise they would be in it.

 

[klutedavid]

Hello all.

Where do people get the idea that a secular nation such as Israel will discard their national legal system. Then adopt a national system of law, the law of Moses, after which priests rule the country and not a government? A temple is then constructed for the shedding of blood, and six million Jews attend the temple with their sacrifices?

Is there a more incredible claim on any Christian website.

Theocratic Israel at the time of Christ no longer exists, modern Israel is not a theocracy, modern Israel is a democracy.

 

[Douggg]

Which people and which city has the seventy week period been applied to?

Determined upon Israel and Jerusalem. Some people could therefore argue, since not the church, the church will not be here during that last week.

The difference between now and the 70th week is that messiah fever will take hold in Israel, and the little horn person following Gog/Magog will be anointed the King of Israel. Being anointed the King of Israel is actually what makes him the Antichrist.

Daniel's 70 Weeks Decree against Israel

In Daniel 9:24, Daniel prophesied that these six things must come to pass before this judgment against Israel would be fulfilled. Some think Jesus fulfilled all of these, most seem to think, as I do, that these things have not come to pass, and when they do that will be the end of the age.

1. Finish the transgression
2. Make and end of sins
3. To make reconciliation for iniquity
4. Bring in everlasting righteousness
5. To seal up vision and prophecy
6. Anoint the most Holy

1. The Hebrew word used for transgression denotes revolt or rebellion. The Jewish people chose to reject God, many chose to stay in Babylon once they were freed. It also denotes their rejection of Jesus Christ. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 23:39 that the Jewish people would not see him again until they accepted him. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. So in order for Jesus to return, Israel has to repent of their rejection of God and Jesus, and Israel will open their hearts to the Messiah, as Paul, Isaiah and Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10) prophesied, among others.

2. This is fairly straightforward, sins can only end when the millennial reign starts, so by the time this 70 week decree is over, Jesus will have returned to set up his kingdom, ushering in the millennial kingdom where there will be no sins. Since the tribulation week is the last week of the 70 weeks decree, that makes perfect sense, as soon as the tribulation period ends, or the "time of Jacob's trouble", then "sins will end".

3. Israel has to be reconciled unto God before the 70 weeks have been fulfilled. There is no doubt that Jesus died for all of our sins, thus the atonement for sins has been made, but there is a conditional requirement for all of us to receive that atonement, we must accept Jesus as our Savior. When Israel accepts the Messiah Jesus, as their Messiah, then the atonement for sins will have been completed, and Israel will have been reconciled unto God, thereby ushering in the millennial kingdom.

4. This 70 week decree has to bring in everlasting righteousness, and we know this can not happen until Jesus sets up his Kingdom. This world has always had sin, and always will until Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. By the time Daniels prophecy ends, it must usher in everlasting righteousness.

5. Seal up vision and prophecy, the word used here denotes to close up, meaning that before this 70th week can come to an end, all prophecy must be fulfilled or closed up. This will only happen when Israel accepts Jesus as their Messiah and he lands on Mt. Zion to rule over this wicked world with a rod of iron.

6. The very last goal that this 70 week prophecy has to usher in is the anointing of the most holy. The bible says most holy, many try to add holy place, but whether it is the temple being anointed, or Jesus Christ as Lord of Lord and Kings of Kings as I suspect, we know this must happen before the 70 weeks decree is fulfilled. And Jesus must return and rule on earth.

All six of these things have to happen before this prophecy is fulfilled. These are six spiritual goals that have to come to pass or this prophecy will not be finished or sealed up. We know these things have not come to pass yet, but we also know they are very near to happening, therefore watch, for Israel is now a nation again, and the world is against her, soon she will need her Messiah s help, then she will call upon him, and he will save her from this wicked world.

Hello Doug.

The prophecy in Daniel is for the nation of Israel, not for the other nations.

What it gets down to though is the time elements (parts of) the Daniel 9 70th week are in other prophecies of the bible, like Ezekiel 39, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, Daniel 12, Revelation 11, Revelation 12, Revelation 13; and those involve all nations of the world.

 

[Revealing Times]

Hello RT.

Thanks for the reply.

Your eschatology is popular, yes, but only because it is widely taught.

Now I am going to do you a favor, I am going to prove to you that the Abomination of Desolation Jesus spoke about can only be an End Time Event. Maybe this will deliver you from that bad teaching someone gave you. Follow the Scriptures.

Daniel 12:1-2 ( and Daniel 11:45) The last verse in Daniel 11 speaks about the Anti-Christ planting is abode in Jerusalem.

Daniel 11:45 And he (Anti-Christ/Little Horn) shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

{{ So the Anti-Christ (Daniel 11:45) makes his abode in Jerusalem, calls himself God, and at the very time (Daniel 12:1) we see that Micheal has Kicked Satan out of Heaven (Michael Stands Up) and at this very time is the TIMES OF TROUBLES that Jesus spoke of, and we see Daniel also spoke of this very same TIMES OF TROUBLES......Such as ever was nor ever will be again !! AND.................At that time thy people (Israel) will be delivered BOOM ! BOOM ! BOOM ! and here comes the kicker in Daniel 12:2. The RAPTURE HAPPENS AT THIS VERY TIME.......TROUBLES happen when the RAPTURE happens and as we see in Matthew 24 below the TROUBLES happen when he ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION HAPPENS !!. So that means the Abomination of Desolation has to happen at the END TIMES so it is an End Time Event !! (SEE BELOW) }}

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 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

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: (Israel Delivered)

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. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Matthew 24:29 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:

{{ Jesus says The Gospel has to be preached unto all the World, THEN THE END WILL COME. After this Jesus speaks about the Abomination of Desolation in verse 16, and tells the Jewish people alive at that time to FLEE when they see this Event. Then in verse 21 we see this is speaking about the GREATEST TIME OF TROUBLE THAT EVER WILL BE....And Daniel spoke of the SAME THING, and he spoke of the RAPTURE (Daniel 12:2) as being an Event that happens at the same time as this Time of great troubles. Onward we move, we have verse 22 which says if those days were not shortened, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED! So this can not be an event that happened 2000 years ago. That makes ZERO SENSE !! Then we see IMMEDIATELY AFTER those days of Troubles (Matthew 24:29) that the Sun is Darkened, as is the Moon.....And Jesus comes back, its an End Time Event.......................THAT IS 100 PERCENT FACTUAL. }}



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. 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth (Angry) with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

{{ So in Rev. 12 we see that Satan (Dragon) is cast out of Heaven (Daniel 12:1 Michael Stands Up) at the MID-WAY point of the final Seven Year Period. Thus he chases the Woman (Israel) into the Wilderness where God (Eagles Wings) protects her for 1260 Days or the EXACT AMOUNT OF TIME THE Anti-Christ is given to make War with the Saints (42 Months) or a TIME/TIMES and a 1/2 TIME.

The Dragon sees he can not get at Israel so he goes off to seek out the REMNANT of her (Israels) SEED (Jesus was the Promised SEED). So he goes after those who have become Christians after the RAPTURE, thus they are a Remnant which is of course a SMALL PART OF (Remnant). }}

Summary, the Abomination of Desolation is an END TIME EVENT.....And can be nothing else.
