Does the Holy place have to be in the temple? I mean in this instance.
Yes, the holy place was the room just outside of the holy of holies where the ark of the covenant was located. The holy place is not referring to Jerusalem as a whole as some have attempt to interpret it. The abomination is synonymous with the image of the beast referred to in Rev.13:14-15 which will be set up in the future temple, which will cause the desolation of Jerusalem and which is also synonymous with the woman/Israel fleeing out into the wilderness where she will be cared for 1260 days i.e. that last 3 1/2 years of the seven year period.

Thats very enlightening. When the living creatures call to the horses, is there a different face calling? I was thinking that if so, it could tie into the mission of the horse.

So many ways one can go with Revelations.

Thank you for your post:)

So you believe first 42 months of tribulation happen from 67 to 70 and we are in the second 42 months of tribulation


tbe bible say, in the last 42 months of tribulation, if one not accept mark of the beast, 666 they not able to buy and sale.

why we still able to buy a food now?
The tribulation was only for Israel, the natural branches, until they were restored to Jerusalem.

It lasted from 70 AD until 1967. This time period is the second 3 1/2 times.

The mark of the Roman beast was in regard to Israel.

The mark of the beast, is the mark of Caesar.

And this post is way off the mark (in all respects, and with all due respect).

King Neb., is the head of gold Dan. 2:38, and the gold represents the Kingdom of Babylon.

The other metals represent kingdoms that rise after that Dan. 2:39-40.

They are usually thought of as Media/Persia as the silver, Greece as the brass, and Rome as the iron.

----
Ok, I was going by the Greek . Do you know where or how nations are seen?

Just looking at the words in Rev. It says something that stinks, and lays waste, placed upright where it should not be.

Looking at Daniel, it is a man given the heart of the beast. Looking at beast it is life revived. Like the man was dead but revived. A false Messiah, or picture of the opposite of Him.

And he the beast, represents 4 kingdoms. Am thinking of that scripture of a man with 4 Faces. Will try to find. And it's not the same..dead end.

It sounds like someone who was dead, stunk, but revived, and stands upright where he does not belong. In charge of 4 nations? Is there anyone on the scene now with 4 under his rule? I thought Russia was the bear symbol.

And I know there is something about a man who is dead and revived. So all this goes with what you are saying Dcon.

Except what about the other two? Or is it more than one beast?

Now this has my attention. :) will look at beast. Love this kind of thing. What do you all see by looking?
Don't think we know who the kingdoms are yet?

Going back to the 4 faces. There are the living creatures that come from God. Their faces each are in some way representative of God. The ox symbol in Hebrew is Father. The eagle is representative of Holy Spirit. The Lion, is the Lion of Judah, the Son, and the face of a man.

Opposite to the false...the lion, the leopard, the fowl, and man, the beast nature opposite the godly man. Destructive. Is this how the world will know who to follow in future events? Or has this happened?

The destructive man changed to the godly? Just throwing it out. It's just what I see with symbols, but may be relevant in this post of decons. :)

May not be relevant. Forgot not.
"Their faces each are in some way representative of God. " Yeeeeessss, Each face represents the 4 main parts of Israel. Man, OX (young calf), Lion and Eagle. Lion = Judah, Eagle = Dan, Ox = Ephrium and Man = Reuban

Simple as that

You know, abc, maybe Daniel 2 isn't showing nations but the character of the false one through Neb!

Head being gold does represent God. Silver, redemptive power, but brass, a hissing, the red throat of a serpent, and iron, cutting, piercing- makes me think of a sword.

And we all know who the stone is cut out of the mountain.


Stones of Fire////The statue in Daniel 2 = this...The Golden Head is Babylon Empire. The Chest of Silver is the Persian Empire and the Brass Waist is the Greacian Empire.. The Iron Legs represent Rome, One part (leg) in the western part of the world and the other part (eastern Leg) live 1000 years longer that the western leg.

Rome is the beast with 7 heads and ten horns.

Most agree.

---

But look, look, the legs/toes of iron last until just before the stone strikes.

The nations still exist, but their rule over Israel has ended.

And the stone striking, is not the beginning of the gospel kingdom, that happened before the iron split, it is Jesus coming for the kingdom. Then the judgement and the chaff blows away.

We are just before the stone strikes.

The statue of the gentile nations, that rule over Israel, until they are restored to control of Jerusalem is DONE, FINISHED, COMPLETE, ENDED. THE TOES/horns HAVE ENDED.

The stone is about to strike.

--

The stone striking is the shaking that Paul referred to in Heb 12:25-29, 27. The shaking of things that are made.

The shaking is of the material things that God has created, the universe and all.

This will be the end of life on this planet, and it is about to happen.

After that, only the kingdom will remain, remain with God/Jesus.

---

This shaking, is seen at the 7th bowl/vial, as the greatest earthquake ever.

It is a perfect description of an asteroid strike, the stone striking, the fire from heaven and the hail.

---

We want to know what happens just before this event.

Just before the 7th trumpet, is the 6th trumpet. Armies from across the Euphrates River move to attack Israel.

Just before the 7th bowl/vial is the 6th bowl/vial. Armies from across the Euphrates River and the whole world move to attack Israel. They meet in the place Armageddon.

Just before the fire from heaven, the gentile armies surround Jerusalem.

Notice any similarities?

They are all saying, that after Israel is restored to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is surrounded by Iran (the kings of the east), and Magog (the gentile nations).

----

This is our exact situation right now!

Israel is surrounded by the gentile nations. Iran wants to conquer Jerusalem.

Slowly support for God's people is ebbing away.

Support for Israel's enemies is growing stronger.

Soon Israel will stand alone, and then the end will come.

The battle of Armageddon, where Israel will lose.

Then Jerusalem.

3 1/2 days later, the rapt/resurrection, then the stone strikes, the fire from heaven.

It is not completed. We should be looking for souls that need saved, be on our knees that G-d will use us to plant and water so He will bring the increase. The truth is the world is ending for someone every day. The Scripture says there is a in which a man shall die. So we always need to be ready to give our testimony, because the world just may end for the guy who took your money at the gas station or the girl you gave money to at the drive thru, or a co-worker, or a friend or even a family member.

If we bring someone(s) with us home one day at a time then we are prepared for the end of the world!

so you said

1. Now we are in the second half of tribulation and only for Israel.

Bible say all verse 16

2. The mark of the beast is the mark of roman

bible say will be in every non believer right hand or foreheads


This is what the Bible say

rev 13


16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
