Finally a pre-tribber who is willing to quote scripture in an attempt to back up what they say.
So you haven't quoted any scripture that proves there will be 7 years of tribulation or 7 years of the Wrath of God. So where is your proof. Where are the scriptures that speak of a seven year period of Tribulation??? As I told you before there are no scriptures that you can quote to prove there will be 7 years of tribulation.
Whatever the reason the number 3 1/2 is a very significant number as it is mentioned several time and in several different ways.
A time and times and dividing of times,
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 3 1/2 years.
A time, times and half of time.
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Again 3 1/2 years. How does the antichrist scatter the power of the Holy People?? The antichrist will scatter our ability to function in this world by persecuting us with great persecutions. He will make war against Christaindom and he will be allowed to make was against the saints by God.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Who are the Holy people?? We are the Holy people. God now see's us through the shed blood of Christ and therefore God see's the Holiness and righteous of Christ when He looks upon us. We are the saints spoken of in Rev 13:7.
Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Again 3 1/2 years, The women in Rev. 12:14 is Israel who will be protected from the antichrist for three and on half years.
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And again 1260 days is 3 1/2 years, a score is 20.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The women is Israel and the man child in Rev 12:5 is Christ.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. We Are the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Another time we see in Rev 11:2 42 months which is 3 1/2 years
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Same here in Rev 13:5, 42 months is 3 1/2 years
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. We are the saints who will still be here on earth when the antichrist makes war against us.
There is no scripture written anywhere in the Bible that says there will be a pre tribulation resurrection/rapture or 7 years of tribulation or the wrath of God. But there is plenty of scripture which I have just quoted for you that proves that something extraordinary happens at the 3 1/2 years mark.
We will suffer through 3 1/2 years of tribulation by the hand of the antichrist and then an event that is so significant will happen and will cause 30 minutes of silence in heaven.
Rev 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
The angels have been singing praises to God in heaven for an eternity and one single event causes them to stop praising God for 30 minutes..
The 3 1/2 years mark is when the Grace of God will leave the earth and the Wrath of God will fill the void left behind when Grace was removed from the earth. There is not going to be any second chance to be saved if you are left behind to suffer the Wrath of God. And there is not one single scripture that proves the idea being left behind and being saved after the resurrection takes place.
Haven't never been able to figure out the extra 21 days you mentioned. Perhaps you can show me some verifiable evidence of your explanation.
