Read carefully my
Post #830. I've repeatedly stated that "our Rapture [event]" will be a [/one of a] primary impetus that brings Israel to faith in their Messiah [
not 100% of them will come to faith in/during the trib, but some of them will and they will be
among the first who will indeed grasp the Truth... and it is these (as they increase in number during the trib yrs, as I see it) who will be the ones DOING the "INVITING"
TO their promised and prophesied
EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom, Matt24:14(26:13), Matt22:8-14, Rev19:9 (distinct from v.7), etc since no one reads these posts anyway; so there's what I've said, I've
not said that
unbelieving Israel will receive anything but judgment from the Lord, hello.)
One of the
purposes of that future, specific, limited time period, is for Israel to turn to their Messiah and come into the new covenant [see Hosea 5:
15-6:3 again ('TIL'), among others I've listed re: their "future"]. Not 100% of them will come to faith.
And yes, I believe that the
70th Week [/7 yrs] is yet
future (FOLLOWING our Rapture),
and that is because: 1) Daniel 9:25-27's contents are SEQUENTIAL; and
2) the wording of verse 26b would be superfluous and needlessly redundant if it were referring to the Person already spoken of in v.25 (IOW, in 26b it would have been sufficient [if referring to the same person as v.25] to say "of the prince" (or even "of him")
if it had been speaking of the same Person as in the immediately preceding verse... but
instead it says, "of the prince
THAT SHALL COME" in order to clue us into the fact that another, wholly separate person is being spoken of now... That, and the SEQUENCE issue, convinces me that another "prince" is now the topic being covered... Then when you trace out all the other connections I've listed in the past [one small example is the wording in 2Th2:9a "whose
COMING"], it just becomes almost impossible to "
unsee" it
There's way more connections than I care to repeat here in this post...)
