A look at the false premises you must adhere to in order to come to the conclusion there is a seven-year tribulation period.
I've mentioned these before (I think in this thread), but here I'll mention just a couple again:
--the Daniel 9:24-27 time-prophecy (regarding "THY [DANIEL'S] PEOPLE" and "THY [DANIEL'S] HOLY CITY") is written out SEQUENTIALLY;
and is very PRECISE (timing-wise);
--
between Rev4:1-5 [up there] / SEAL #1 [event on earth]
and Vial #7 [events--Armageddon on earth] one can make out
*PRECISELY* "
2520 DAYS" as
plotted out precisely on a calendar--(IOW, it is not merely "random"
but VERY PRECISE);
God had this "time-prophecy" in Dan9:24-27 WRITTEN SEQUENTIALLY (and it is VERY PRECISE), so yes God can count (but many people, by injecting their own ideas INTO the text [and related texts], cannot discern its meaning... its sequence... nor its VERY PRECISE calendar-plotment [for lack of a better term, lol])
2. That Jesus did not fulfil the six requirements for the completion of the 70th week.
Again, PAUL (writing AFTER Jesus' ascension) wrote Romans 11:
27 which corresponds with Isaiah 27:
9,12-13 / Matt24:
29-31 (about the time of Jesus' Second Coming TO THE EARTH Rev19), which parallels
one of the items LISTED in Dan9:
24 prophecy ABOUT ISRAEL [i.e. Israel's *FUTURE*] (which also explains the numerous "UNTIL / TILL" passages that are related to this matter, which I mentioned in an earlier post... Lk21:
24c[/Rev11:2] being just ONE of those--where the phrase "the TIMES of the Gentiles" [not speaking of the "church age"] speaks to the matter of "Gentile domination over Israel" which STARTED in 605/6bc [think: Neb's statue/image/dream with Neb as "HEAD OF GOLD"] and which will not be CONCLUDED until Christ's Second Coming to the earth Rev19)
3. That the Prince in Daniel 9:26 is not Jesus.
Verse 26
b's "prince
THAT SHALL COME / COMING" (parallel the wording in 1Jn2:18 "
YE HAVE HEARD"/
an OT-pointer) is indeed distinct from the earlier mention of "UNTO the messiah the prince" (v.25) and is SUBSEQUENT ALSO to when "shall messiah BE CUT OFF" (v.26a)... and subsequent even to the 70ad events (v.26b) when "
the people OF [the prince that
SHALL COME / COMING] shall DESTROY the city and the sanctuary" IN 70AD (like Jesus SAID on Palm Sunday right before He was "CUT OFF"... in His words of Lk19:42-44 [and DID the Zech9:9 thing--BOTH having to do with "the CITY / JERUSALEM"--the time-prophecy's SUBJECT]);
--it would be SUPERFLUOUS to write "[the prince]
THAT SHALL COME/COMING" (after v.25 already talked about "UNTO the messiah the prince") *if* it were referring to the one having already been spoken of in v.25,26a! No need to write that ADDED phrase if it were referring to THE SAME PERSON already mentioned. NO!
4. That God the Father took away the 70th week of Daniel from His Son and gave it to Satan.
Jesus Himself will be the One OPENING THE FIRST SEAL that "kicks off" that 70th Week, BECAUSE HE IS IN CHARGE! That's why 5:6 states "[Lamb]...
STANDING" (
see Isa3:13!) He'll be UP THERE when He OPENS that SEAL which will commence the 70th Week's events UNFOLDING UPON THE EARTH
5. That Satan destroyed Jerusalem because of the abominations of the Jews.
Huh? (Satan?)
The numerous "
UNTIL / TILL's" correspond with Dan9:
26b's "desolaTION
S [
PLURAL]
are determined"...
BY GOD, not "Satan"... (CONCERNING "Israel" [the CITY and "THY [Daniel's] PEOPLE"]--which is what the Dan9:24-27 time-prophecy is ABOUT);
one example: Acts 3:21 "whom it behooves heaven to receive
UNTIL the time
S of restoration OF ALL THINGS WHICH GOD HATH SPOKEN by the mouth of all the holy prophets FROM THE AGE" (
OT prophets / OT prophecies--
Daniel included)
I could say
much more (and have, in many past posts) on this, but I realize
long posts are rarely ever actually READ. lol
