I have found, in a personal study, that the seven years of the tribulation period can be divided into four smaller segments of time. This study began with the assumption that the Tribulation period is exactly seven years. Presently we do not know the day or hour of Christ's return. However, the day the tribulation period begins (If Daniel's 70 weeks is accurate and I believe it is) seven years to the day Christ will return . (An added benefit is that based on this assumption, those who watch for the start of the Tribulation period will know the day of Christ's advent).

These four periods are:
1. The Beginning of Birth Pains (The first 3 ½ years) Matt 24:1-14
2. The Great Tribulation (The second 3 ½ years) Matt 24:15-28
3. The Wonders in the Heavens (just a few days) Matt 24:29 & Joel 2:31
4. The Day of the Lord (one day)

The Bible provides us with durations that total seven years exactly. Start by multiplying the seven years that make up the tribulation period by 365 days that make up a year (7 x 365= 2555 Days).
a. We begin with the Great Tribulation Period which has a duration of 1260 days. Rev 12:6
b. The Day of the Lord is one day. 2 Peter 3:10
c. The duration of the Wonders in the Heavens can be found in the account of the two witnesses. It is the 3 ½ days that they lay dead on the streets of Jerusalem. Notice that they do their works for the 1260 days of the GT, lay dead in Jerusalem for 3 ½ days then are resurrected on The Day of the Lord.
d. The remaining 1290 days of The Beginning of Birth Pains can be found in Daniel 12:11.

In review:
1. The Beginning of Birth Pains 1290 days
2. The Great Tribulation 1260 days
3. The Wonders in the Heavens 3 ½ rounded off to 4 days
4. The Day of the Lord 1 day
Grand total of 2555 days or seven years to the day.

I would like to clarify that the title of this thread should be; The 2555 days of the Tribulation.

Maybe.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.





Hmm, good post.

I have been struggling with a scripture I found, but you may have just solved my problem.

Thanks.

One thing to note...the Day of the Lord is actually a year..... though you can still add it as a day in your equation because that's the moment when the "mystery of God is finished".

Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

Isa 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.

The wrath of God is poured out upon the wicked for one year. How do we know this for sure?

The Days of Noah.

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Gen 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

Noah and his family were in the ark as the wicked suffered the wrath of God for just over one full year. This is no coincidence. The Day of the Lord will be the exact same duration as we (the redeemed) are in Heaven for one year as God destroys the wicked under our feet JUST AS the wicked were under Noah's feet.

Mal 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

The "day of the Lord" is an extended time frame which will begin with His hour of trial (the 7 year tribulation period), 30 days, 45 days, His 1,000 year millennial kingdom, and then eternity. The term "day of the Lord" means a time frame ..... not just 1 day. It means His "day" ......His revelation of who He is. Peter states this truth by compressing the time span in his short description. It will begin as a thief (no warning) will include a conflageration of this present earth and universe. Eternity will then begin with a new heavens and earth. All of this time frame will be incorporated in the "day of the Lord".

The Day of the Lord isn't the 7 year period...it begins when the sun and moon are darkened which happens at the end of the 7 years.

Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Isa 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Joel 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
Joel 2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joe 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

2Pe 3:10 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.

If the day of the Lord starts the 7 years, how can this be if the "heavens pass away and the elements be burned with fervent heat"? No one would be able to go through the tribulation, would they?

The tribulation starts with the "covenant made with many" which is the instituting of the Global Government under the United Nations Beast=NWO.

When this happens the "woman" is led into the wilderness to be nourished for 42 months (3.5 years).

Then the 2 witness ministry begins as the Abomination of Desolation is set up at the "midst of the week"= the mark of the Beast . The Dragon hands the empire over the the last Beast.

The Harlot rides the Beast to kill the true Christians who refuse the mark and the system. For 3.5 years the 2 witnesses (corporate) will be giving their lives as a testimony all over the world and will be being martyred.

At the end of this 42 month period, the Day of the Lord will begin when the Sun and Moon are darkened and the heaven are rolled away as a scroll and the elements are burned with fervent heat.

YES!!!

i agree, never ever is there anything to suggest that the day of the Lord is tribulation nor is there anything to suggest tribulation is wraththat is just popular thinking for flesh to escape any form of trial period where seperation from the world and world system is required.
