Daniel 7:25-27 [FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time. 26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’
[/FONT]

Daniel 9:27 [FONT=&quot]He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[/FONT][FONT=&quot] In the middle of the ‘seven’[/FONT][FONT=&quot] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[/FONT][FONT=&quot] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot] is poured out on him.

Daniel 12:11-12 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

It is possible that the covenant that will be set up, will happen on or around July 27-28, 2018. The year is 70 years after the new Jewish state of Israel was set up and the date is a blood moon over Israel which is usually significant for Israel. Trump is a deal maker. He may get a treaty between Israel and Palestine done around then and many other nations will approve and go along with it.[/FONT]

Dan 9:24 sixty nine weeks plus 1970 years and counting are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

I can see that....

Hello UN...

Concerning the signs of the times, are we supposed to be looking at the sky and the alignment of planets and stars, the sun and the moon?

The sun and moon will not be darkened until after the tribulation is over, immediately before we are caught up into the clouds with Jesus. (Matthew 24:29-31)
That prophecy has already taken place in the first century...the sun moon and stars speak of a change in government or rule....

Concerning ourselves, shouldn’t we be looking instead at the last church age, of the Laodica, (Revelation 3:14-22) to see if our doctrines aligned with them, or are contrary to them?
While we are to learn from the letters to these churches we should be following the Great Commission now...24/7
Shouldn’t we be looking at the signs Jesus gave in Matthew chapter 24, or are we looking at something different in order to exempt ourselves?
Those signs happened to that generation....Mt16:28,...Mt 23:36....Mt24:34

28 [FONT=&quot]Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.[/FONT]
34 [FONT=&quot]Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]till all these things be fulfilled.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
(Matthew 24:3)


The word end of the world...is actually end of the age;
3 [FONT=&quot]And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'[/FONT]

Are we not instructed to look for the signs? What does our Lord and Saviour tell us to look for so we know how close is coming is?
No....Jesus said it will be normal living, eating drinking marrying....
37 and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;
38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,
39 and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man.

That's interesting. So which of the books would you select to pattern your life after, to the exclusion of others?
Just can't stay out of this one.....The preterist exclude Revelation, Daniel and make Matt, Mark and Luke say what they want them to say,,,Kinda of like Joel Olsteen. So Sad

The judgment that happened in 70ad was "the sign of" the Son of man in heavens...


Yup, people think the sign will be Jesus whizzing through the clouds so "every eye will see him"...preferably not on a SAAB

Write what you know is from the Lord. You know what is to be first in order to be second do not be deceive. Trust in God, Give what God has given you make clear on the truth as any thing less is not from him.
God Bless you richly in all your good works

Following that it also says that "every eye will see him" and that he would send his angels out to gather the elect from the four corners of the earth. And 3 1/2 years prior to that the abomination would be set up. And since Rev.19:11-21 is a detailed account of Matt.24:29-31, we would have had to have seen all of the events mention in the Lord's return to the earth.

Yet we have seen none of those events take place.

I'll loan Bill my Hitchhiker's Guide to Full Preterism - on the front it says "Don't Panic, the Great Trib. has passed already"
