2 Thess.2:3 originally read as folloiws:
In vs 3: "Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that Day [The Day of the Lord, the 70th and final Week, the seven year tribulation]
In vs 3: "Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that Day [The Day of the Lord, the 70th and final Week, the seven year tribulation]
In what translation was the 70th week of Daniel invoked relative to 2 Thes 2:3? Let me guess, it was in the notes of the Scofield reference Bible? I hate to break it to you but "NOTES" are not part of the text. I don't recall any Biblical teaching where Cyrus I. Scofield was given divine inspiration to add anything to God's Word!! In fact, he may have a little answering to do for all the problems he caused with his dispensation theory that he borrowed from Darby.
Aside from that. The below is from my Interlinear Bible showing the original Greek text along with the KJV translation. You will NOT see any reference to Daniel's 70th week. This version is older than Scofield and more accurate by a mile.
So please answer my question, how does the 70th week of Daniel have anything to do with the Great Tribulation since it says clearly that those 70 weeks were for Daniel's People and their Holy City (Jerusalem)? Whose got the bullet hole in the foot now?
Sorry brother, I shouldn't pick on you. I realize Scofield was the man in his day and this is what everyone was taught back then. Most churches don't even teach the rapture anymore. So many older Christians are obsessed by it thinking it could happen any day like the clouds would open and Jesus would come to take us all home. This is what my mom and dad think.
Its sad that so many don't realize that the real rapture happens on the last day of this earth age just after the resurrection. But I don't see any harm in you believing as you do brother. So, God bless you.
