The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.​

This is where you are in errorr. It is simply false to say that because of this with a hint of that and a little bit of this. Wit this, the that becomes a pizza full of chocolate, and a pocket full of poses.

1:17. The fear of the Lord is the religiousness of knowledge.

1:18. Religiousness shall keep and justify the heart, it shall give joy and gladness.

1:19. It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed.

1:20. To fear God is the fulness of wisdom, and fulness is from the fruits thereof.

1:21. She shall fill all her house with her increase, and the storehouses with her treasures.

The Bible speaks of a three and a half year tribulation. The truth is that the Bible never speaks of a seven yearr tribulation anywhere in the Bible. It does, however speak of a forty two month period: (also, a 1,260 is mentioned in the very next verse which is also equal to three-and-a-half years)

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. Rev. 11:2

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

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. Rev. 12:6

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. Rev. 12:14​

Revelation 11:2 (and therefore the whole tribulation) was fullfilled in the period between the Spring of AD 66 to the summer of AD 70, a period of forty-two years when the Romans trampled over the Holy City (Jerusalem) during the Jewish War.

Now from the time of this official imperial engegament in the Jewish War (early Spring, A.D. 70) until the time of the Temple's destruction and Jerusalem's fall (earlt September. A.D. 70) is a perid right at the symbolic figure of 1260 days (or 42 months or 3 1/2 years). Indeed, counting backward from early September, A.D 70, we arrive 42 months earlier at early March--in the Spring of 67! Surely the figure cannot be dismissed as sheer historical accident. Though the time frame ndoubtedly carries with it the foreboding spiritual connotation associated with a broken seven (3 1/2 is one-half of the perfect number seven), nevertheless we are also driven to recognize the providence of God in these historical affairs. In keeping with divinely ordained symbol, in fullfillment of divinely inspired prophecy, it did, as a matther of fact take Rome 3 1/2 years to trample Israel and the city of Jerusalem totally. {Kenneth L. Gentry Jr; Before Jerusalem Fell:Dating the Book of Revelation, 3d ed. (Atlanta, GA, American Vision, 1998), 253.}​
