Reckoning the prophetic clock.

[rdclmn72]

Apart from some non-chronological events throughout the bible, there are times that a sense of time moving forward can be recognized.

The time of the gentiles can be recognized by among other things, the fact that the sacrifices stop when Jerusalem is destroyed for the first time, and that once that they are initiated once again in Revelations, things begin to happen here on earth.

The other item, this tim in heaven, is that the scroll is handed down and suddenly things begin to happen.

So, you can see that the temple is destroyed and that as a result, God's focus is on the coming empires until the time when God's intervention will destroy the same gentile empires making the coming kingdom a reality.

The Gentiles trample the Holy City for 1260 years. Its talking about Muslims.

 

[dana b]

That sounds right Interpreter, when did the Moslems take over Jerusalem?

...........................2000 AD
.................minus -1260
..........................._____
....................... 840 AD - Moslems took Jerusalem? Yes or NO?

 

[nowfaith86]

Actually the Gentiles trample the holy city for 1260 days....not years.

It is speaking of the time of the last 3 1/2 years of the future tribulation.....

You need to take the bible for what it says instead of taking the liberty to change God's word as if He is not competant enough to speak for Himself.....

No... pretty sure we're in year 2010... seemed to be quite a fuss about it about 38 days ago

 

[Almighty's humble servant]

What then of the 3979 years prior to the start of this calendar?

I'll remain hopeful in that interpretation. Either way, i am good!

Praise and exalt Him above all forever!

And what about the several million years before that?

All human time measurements are arbitrary.

Considering carbon dating was first based off of a guess, and every single date after that was based off of that first guess, Ill hold to the fundamental Truth, that we are in the end of the sixth day of man's self rule.

Oh, that glorious 7th day!

Praise and exalt Him above all forever!

The Muslims took over Jerusalem in 638 AD, and construction started on the "Abomination of Desolation" (the Dome on the Rock) on the holy spot in 685 AD (prophecied both in Daniel and the Revelation). Muslims are the 7th head of the beast to rule Jerusalem.

We are in the 7th day. It began in 2001 (when the Euphrates was dry, and the first shot of "the Battle of that great day of God almighty" was fired).
