Can you be more specific. What do you mean by " just before"? What period of years, months or days are you talking about? And prove it with the Bible.
It is believed by futurist that Jesus returns to establish his kingdom on earth and reign in Jerusalem after the tribulation mentioned in Matt 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
In Matt 24:15 he mentions the Daniel 9 scripture referring to the AOD as something standing in the holy place and great tribulations of those days
So Jesus comes back after the great tribulation and AOD
If it has already happened as some teach then Jesus lied
Jesus was answering the question about his return and of the end of the age
Matt:24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
How should I understand the question? I cannot tell you what the image of the beast is.
I can ..it’s so obvious.. the image of the beast is the idol of himself standing in the holy place ..supposedly they breath life into the idol and the idol talks ….like god breath life into man and man becomes a living soul
The idol causes all to worship the idol and the beast and causes all to receive the
Mark to show allegiance and worship
This will cause great tribulation because true saints will not break the commandments of god to worship idols
This act is an abomination causing the destruction of all saints
Satan in a desperate move is trying to eradicate all saints so that the true messiah has no one to rule over or cause him to fail in just one prophecy
If just one prophecy is not fulfilled he has failed and satan wins
If you mean the abomination of desolation, I have already told you what it is. See the comment of Benson.
He’s wrong
"He" who made the covenant with many is not Titus but Jesus (Matthew 26:28).
But that’s not what Daniel says he said Jesus is cut off at the end of the 69th week
The 70 week begins with the ac who confirms the covenant but in the middle of that week break’s covenant and sets up the AOD
Also, the translation you use is not accurate.
Here is a more accurate translation of Daniel 9:27:
And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come the one who makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, gushes forth on the one who makes desolate.
Ok but again he that confirmed the covenant for 7 years is not Jesus because Jesus was cut off at the end of the 69th week
dan 9:26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.
In this verse you have Jesus cut off and Jerusalem destroyed along with the Temple by Titus
But in this same verse it says
The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.
The end of the age comes like a flood
War will continue till the end of the age
And desolations are decreed
So you see a gap between the 69 week and 70 week
There is a distinction between the one who made the covenant and the one who makes desolate. It also says "will come" which means he will come after the Messiah. This is Titus and it refers to the year 70 AD.
No your missing the vision points
Jesus is cut off
Titus destroyed temple and city
War continues till the end of the age
So the 70 week cannot continue until the temple is restored and if it were to be built and someone confirmed the covenant for a week but nothing happens then the 70th week has not commenced
The 70th week is laid out in a specific way by Daniel
The 70th week is described in this way and Jesus confirmed it . It will not commence until a specific man confirms the covenant for 1 week and in the middle of that week sets up the AOD then desolation (great tribulation) Jesus returns to pour out desolation upon his head
Then Jerusalem will be redeemed ,restored , prophecies fulfilled ,visions fulfilled ,Ezekiel temple built, millennium begins , everlasting righteousness from Jerusalem , the new age begins which is the age of divine government
