That's right --- the climax and apex of this church age is the
Second Coming of Christ -- when He will come for His bride and begin His 1000-year reign on earth. (all in the same "coming")
If you ever properly understand all that is written below, it will help disolve the deception you are under so that you may attain to a correct interpretation of the biblical prophecy concerning the End Times Scenario:
~ The 'pre-trib' interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27 is
totally and
severely in
error.
~ There
is no gap in the 70 weeks of Daniel. All 70 weeks "came and went" in a single unbroken span of 490 years. It is 100% past history.
~ There
is no antichrist in Daniel 9:24-27.
~ There
is no 7-year treaty indicated in Daniel 9:24-27.
~ The
Abomination of Desolation is not specifically referred to or mentioned in Daniel 9:24-27.
~ The events of the
First Coming of Christ completed the fulfilling of
all of the things listed in verse 24.
~ There
is no 'prince' in verse 27.
~ There
is no 7-year 'prophetic' End Times period.
(A more explanitory discussion of this may be found here:
http://mywebsite.us/BibleStudy/Seventy_Weeks.html)
There
IS a 3.5-year 'prophetic' End Times period.
We call it the
Two Witnesses.
It
coincides with the Trumpet events,
because it is the Two Witnesses that
cause the Trumpet events to occur.
(They actually command them into existance.)
Both the Trumpet events and the
Wrath of God (the 'vials') occur
after the Great Tribulation period [is over].
Neither occur
during the Great Tribulation period.
The Seals "overlap into" the Great Tribulation, the Trumpet events, and the Wrath of God (the 'vials').
