Orates on Apr 17 2007, at 11:56 AM in post #109648 stated,
Reason #1- You believe that there will be a Pre-Trib Rapture, and when it doesn't happen, you will not accept any of the signs that Daniel's 70th week has started.
Orates, you can’t change God’s cycles, you let the weeks fall as they may and YOU CAN’T MOVE ONE OR EVEN A HALF ONE into a future cycle.
In DANIEL’S 70th WEEK the first 69 weeks were agriculturally based; their counting had to include the “leap months” TO KEEP THE YEARS AND THEIR SEASONS IN THEIR PROPER PLACE. The 70th week, agriculturally based, also STAYED IN CYCLE!
Daniels 69th week has come and gone, IT ENDED AT the “cutting off” of Yeshua in 32 CE, and like the week before, the 68th, and it being the “70th” fell into its Sabbatical 49 year cycle.
You can’t change God’s cycles, you let the weeks fall as they may and YOU CAN’T MOVE ONE OR EVEN A HALF ONE into a future cycle.
The 69 weeks ended at the truimphal entry when Christ prophecied the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke 19:41-44. The reason for this judgment was because they didn't recognize the day of the Meshiach Nagid presenting Himself as prophecied in Zechariah 9:9. Interestingly, the time from the triumphal entry (
April 6, 32 AD) to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple (
August 5, 70 AD) was
14,000 days. What's even more fascinating is where that 14,000 days originated, the wilderness wandering from leaving Mt. Sinai to crossing the Jordan River, 14,000 days straight from the Bible! It's also repeated one final time that I won't get into here because it needs background information. That is all covered in
HIStory, Our Future: Pearls for the Bride.

The enemy, Satan knew that the ‘TIME, TIMES AND DIVIDING TIME’ of God’s land would be, as it has been, the preminent ‘controversy’ of the last days.
Do you term "time, time, and dividing time" as referring to the dividing of the land of Israel?

It is a ‘blown cover as cover’ scheme, to KEEP OUR EYES AND MINDS OFF the ‘Controversy over Zion’, as the ‘VISION’ OF 2300 DAYS counts down unimpeded, then “at an instant, sudden destruction” comes upon us as a snare!
Could you direct me to the explanation of this vision of 2300 days counting down? I know where it is in the Bible, you just seem to imply that it's currently going on. Am I misunderstanding you?
I would like to point out that while destruction comes suddenly, we won't be caught off guard if we're watching.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
John 15:12-15
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
I believe this is what
HIStory, Our Future covers, the promise of understanding for those that love and obey Yeshua.

Make no doubt about it, the Abomination of Desolation will break God’s existing inherited land covenant with Israel.(Genesis 12:7, Psalm 105:9-11), and HAS NOTHING TO DO Daniel’s 70th week.
Genesis 17:4-9
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Nothing breaks an everlasting covenant with a God who never goes back on His Word.

Who was to see the abomination of desolation? Was it not Jesus' disciples standing right there with Him when He said--"When YOU see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet . . . ?"
What is an abomination of desolation, and where did Daniel talk about it?
Matthew 24:15-22
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:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
I would also like to point out there is a difference between "ye" and "you."
QUOTE
link: "ye" is the nominative and "you" is the accusative, which is counterintuitive given that thou/thee go the opposite way. When town criers yelled "Hear Ye!", the "ye" in question is the subject, not the object, of the hearing
Therefore, when Christ says, "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation..." the "ye" is referring to the reader, not those who were with Christ when He said it. We also have the "whoso readeth, let him understand" to speak to the reader.
If the abomination of desolation already happened in their day, then God's Word is broken. Why?
Notice the scope of the 70 weeks prophecy. Also, from the abomination of desolation, the beast is given power by the dragon for 42 months. Revelation 13:5 That time ends upon Christ's return in glory. Revelation 19:20
Therefore, Christ returns in glory and sets up the millennial kingdom at the end of the 42 month reign of the antichrist. If that's all over, where's the new heavens and new earth? Revelation clearly lays out the millennium and the great white throne at the end of it.
2 Peter 3:8-10
8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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.
It is within the day of the Lord, which is 1,000 years, that the heavens, earth, and the very elements are melted with a fervent heat. This is after the great white throne judgment. God creates the new heavens and the new earth. If the 70th week was over almost 2,000 years ago, then the perfect heavens and earth God promised for us is severly lacking in righteousness and His glory not to mention New Jerusalem, our home.

Do you not see that it is your erroneous system that causes your need for a rebuilt temple and not the Scriptures themselves? Can you not see that a rebuilt temple goes contrary to God's intended purpose--the vanishing away and becoming obsolete of the OLD (Heb. 8)? Can you not see that a re-institution of sacrifices is a horrible insult to our Lord and Savior who made the ultimate, one-time sacrifice?
Any rebuilt temple will NOT be God-sanctioned!
The Jews haven't accepted Christ yet. They are blinded currently, until the fulness of the Gentiles. Romans 11:25 Therefore, they (Orthadox Jews) rely on the old system of their forefathers as dictated by God to them to follow. Imagine seeing God wipe out a surpise attack by Russia, Turkey, and Iran with fire and brimstone from heaven just as prophecied in the Old Testament:
Ezekiel 38:16-23
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 39:21,22
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Think about where Jews will be spiritually, being blinded to Christ, but seeing the God of their fathers protect them. I believe we will see an Aliyah into Israel of many Jews and a demand to rebuild the temple and begin the daily sacrifice. Just because it is built and in Bible prophecy, Revelation 11:1,2, doesn't mean their sacrifices will do any good. And we know the millennial temple is too large and has an outer court to be this one. In fact, in the days of the shaking of the heavens, God's wrath, the temple will probably collapse along with all the other buildings.
