Featured Seventy Weeks Prophecy, no Gap, but a Solid Promise

hmmmm. Complete silence after these last three posts. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

I'm still waiting to hear about what happened in AD 40, at the end of the 70th Week of Daniel....

 

I believe your argument is self defeating. There are obviously two streams of prophecy regarding the coming of Jesus Christ: The first as the Suffering Servant was fulfilled 2000 years ago. The second as the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS yet to be fulfilled. There is no way the prophecy of the two comings of Jesus Christ can legitimately be used to defend the so-called gap in Daniel's seventh week.

 

Was Darby inspired? Some on this Forum think so!

 

That was uncalled for. It simply shows one's inability to give an intelligent answer to the post he is responding to.

 

The "abomination of desolation" concerns the fulfillment of Daniel's 70th week.
So, since none of the N.T. epistles were written by 40AD, then this major
prophetic event would have been recorded by the H.S. in the Epistles.

It is not.

 

Wouldn't it be more "logical" to assume that the Church has not "replaced" Israel, and that Israel will be given a "second chance" in the Tribulation?
The doctrine of the Body of Christ was only revealed to Paul (apostle to the Gentiles) after the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit at Stephen's testimony
and the subsequent stoning of Stephen.

The "Tribulation" being for the purification of the remnant of Israel, to then serve the Messiah, from Jerusalem, during the Millennium.

 

Still yet to happen!

 

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand: ) Matt 24:15
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matt 24:21

The Abomination of Desolation is yet future, during the Great Tribulation when Satan's Antichrist presents himself as God.

 

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [departure] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God



THE TIMPLE PROBPER CAN BE BUILT IN 3 DAYSL

 

The holocaust was worse than that. An entire nation almost wiped out by a senseless dictator, and in such a horrible manner.
As with the holocaust there will come a time far worse then even that or the destruction of the Temple. It is called The Tribulation. You should acquaint yourself with its events in a more literal way.

 

Yes, let beameup read Luke's account and understand:

But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people. Lu 21:20-23

Sometime late in the year 66 A.D., Cestius Gallus, [Roman] Governor of Syria and Commander of Roman forces, marched his army into Judea in an attempt to quell the revolts. Read Josephus, Wars of the Jews, Book II, Chapter 19; excerpts:

“But now Cestius, observing that the disturbances that were begun among the Jews afforded him a proper opportunity to attack them, took his whole army along with him, and put the Jews to flight, and pursued them to Jerusalem. He then pitched his camp upon the elevation called Scopus, [or watch-tower,] which was distant seven furlongs from the city; yet did not he assault them in three days' time, out of expectation that those within might perhaps yield a little;..........when Cestius was come into the city, he set the part called Bezetha, which is called Cenopolis, [or the new city,] on fire; as he did also to the timber market; after which he came into the upper city, and pitched his camp over against the royal palace; and had he but at this very time attempted to get within the walls by force, he had won the city presently, and the war had been put an end to at once;.... a great number of the officers of the horse, had been corrupted by Florus, and diverted him from that his attempt; and that was the occasion that this war lasted so very long, and thereby the Jews were involved in such incurable calamities....... had he but continued the siege a little longer, had certainly taken the city; but it was, I suppose, owing to the aversion God had already at the city and the sanctuary, that he was hindered from putting an end to the war that very day.....he recalled his soldiers from the place,..... without having received any disgrace, he retired from the city, without any reason in the world.”

Note by translator of the history, William Whiston:

"There may be another very important and very providential reason assigned for this strange and foolish retreat of Cestius, which, if Josephus had been at the time of writing his history a Christian, he might probably have taken notice of also; and that is the opportunity afforded the Jewish Christians in the city, of calling to mind the prediction and caution given them by Christ that 'when they should see the abomination of desolation' (the idolatrous Roman armies, with the images of their idols in their ensigns) ready to lay Jerusalem desolate, 'stand where it ought not,' or 'in the holy place'; or 'when they should see Jerusalem encompassed with armies,' they should then 'flee to the mountains.' By complying with which, those Jewish Christians fled to the mountains of Perea, and escaped this destruction. Nor was there perhaps any one instance of a more unpolitic, but more providential conduct, than this retreat of Cestius visible during this whole siege of Jerusalem, which (siege) was providentially such a 'great tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the world to that time; no, nor ever should be'.”

John Gill, on Matthew 24:16:

"...it is remarked by several interpreters, and which Josephus takes notice of with surprise, that Cestius Gallus having advanced with his army to Jerusalem, and besieged it, on a sudden without any cause, raised the siege, and withdrew his army, when the city might have been easily taken; by which means a signal was made, and an opportunity given to the Christians, to make their escape: which they accordingly did, and went over to Jordan, as Eusebius says, to a place called Pella; so that when Titus came a few months after, there was not a Christian in the city . . "

20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:
21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. Mt 24

18 And pray ye that it be not in the winter.
19 For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. Mk 13

22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lk 21

No other slaughter/genocide in history, including the massacres at Merv and Nanking, matches that which occurred at Jerusalem A.D. 70. The Jews virtually self destructed, it was suicide, the infighting/civil war/self destruction that broke out among 'that generation' killed as many or more as the Roman army did. They literally became demon possessed mad men that turned on each other. From that aspect alone it was indeed "great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be".

43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. Mt 12

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. Mt 24:34

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. Mk 13:30

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lk 21:32

That just doesn't sink in to you, does it?

 

I'm assuming your last line there, beameup, should actually read "The Temple Proper can be built in 3 days." If that is indeed the case, please answer these questions (or direct me to wherever they may have previously been answered:

1. Will the rebuilt Temple also inhabit the Temple Mount in Jerusalem?

2. If the answer to #1 was YES, then what makes you think Islam will willingly give up their holiest sites, the Dome of the Rock, to allow the Jews to rebuild their Temple?

 

Answer: the future literal fulfillment of Psalm 83. Arabs have already suffered defeat and shame in previous wars against Israel.
The next one will bring total humiliation and shame to "Allah" and his followers, and will have global ramifications.
