00:09 Will there be seven horrible years of tribulation
00:12 before the end of the world, yes or no? 00:15 That's our topic on His Voice Today. 00:20 Welcome to another His Voice Today 00:22 with Steve Wohlberg. 00:28 The seven years of tribulation controversy... 00:31 that is our topic today. 00:33 Millions of Christians including me... believe that we are 00:37 nearing the end of the world and the coming of Jesus Christ. 00:41 We look at the horrible things that are happening 00:43 around this planet, look at the natural disasters, 00:45 the senseless violence, the school shootings, 00:48 and it just makes your heart break, 00:50 and long for the coming 00:51 of Jesus, and there are a lot of people 00:53 that believe that the Lord is coming 00:55 but there is a controversy... 00:57 a big controversy raging in the Christian world 01:00 concerning the sequence of events, 01:02 what is going to happen before Jesus returns 01:07 especially concerning the topic of the seven years... 01:11 essentially there are three different views 01:13 there's the "Pre-Trib view," there's the "Mid-Trib view," 01:16 and there's the "Post-Trib view. " 01:19 The Pre-Trib view basically says that 01:21 Jesus is going to come 01:23 at the beginning of the seven years of tribulation 01:25 and get the church out of here 01:27 so the church doesn't have to suffer 01:29 during that nightmare period. 01:31 And then there's the Mid-Trib view 01:33 that says, basically, 01:34 that the church is going to go through 01:36 the first half of the tribulation 01:38 and then Jesus is going to come and get us out of here 01:40 so we don't have to go through the really bad part... 01:42 the second half... the great tribulation... 01:45 and then there's the Post-Tribulation view 01:47 which basically says that 01:49 God's not going to get the church out of here early at all, 01:52 we're going to go through the whole period 01:54 if we stand up for Jesus, be strong for Christ, 01:57 and we will go all the way into the very end of the world 02:01 to the time of the second coming. 02:04 So, those are some of the issues 02:06 and that's the controversy. 02:08 Which view is right? 02:10 Now, one of the questions that I think needs to be asked, 02:15 that isn't being asked enough 02:18 and that is... where does the Bible say 02:21 specifically that there is going to be a 02:25 seven-year period of tribulation at all? 02:29 Is that text really there? 02:31 Now it may shock you but you could take your Bible 02:35 and you can go through Genesis... 02:36 all the way to the book of Revelation, 02:38 you can look in any concordance and you will never find 02:41 one single solitary Bible verse 02:45 that clearly and specifically says 02:48 that there's going to be a seven-year period at all. 02:51 You probably heard of Ponce de León 02:53 the famous ancient explorer 02:56 who looked for the famous "Fountain of Youth" 02:59 but he never found it. 03:00 And it's the same thing with that text. 03:02 You can look and look and look in your Bible 03:05 and you'll never find a verse that specifically says 03:08 that there's seven years of tribulation. 03:12 So, where does the idea come from? 03:15 It certainly is a big idea, it's one that's being discussed, 03:18 there are movies that have been produced 03:21 about the seven years, there are radio shows 03:23 that talk about the seven years of tribulation 03:25 there are all kinds of novels, books, websites, 03:29 the discussion is on, the controversy is on. 03:31 So, where does the idea come from anyway? 03:34 Well, let me shed some light on this. 03:38 There is really one major Bible verse 03:42 that is interpreted to mean seven years of tribulation 03:47 at the end of the world and that's really the "mother text" 03:52 and it is found in the book of Daniel chapter 9 verse 27. 03:58 That is the "mother text" Daniel 9:27... 04:03 let me just read this verse to you, 04:04 and then I'll tell you how it's being interpreted. 04:07 Daniel 9:27... the Bible says, 04:09 "Then he shall confirm the covenant 04:12 with many for one week:" 04:14 and there are seven days in a week, 04:17 and this is applied to a day for a year 04:19 which we'll talk about in a little while 04:22 and so one week would be seven years 04:25 and it says that someone would confirm a covenant 04:28 with many during that seven-year period, 04:30 "and in the midst of the week; 04:32 He would cause the sacrifices and the oblation to cease... " 04:35 Now, let me explain to you how best-selling author, 04:39 Hal Lindsey interprets this text 04:42 and he is representative of many Christians around the world, 04:47 his book, "The Late Great Planet Earth" 04:49 in the 1970s... it came out, 04:51 it was just a huge blockbuster bestseller, 04:53 and in this book he talks about... on page 45 and 46 04:58 about God's last seven years 05:00 of dealing with the Jewish people 05:03 and then he quotes Daniel 9:27 and he interprets the key 05:07 in this text where it says, "He will confirm the covenant 05:10 he interprets the "he" to be the antichrist 05:13 who will break his covenant with the Jewish people 05:17 during the seven years of tribulation 05:19 and in the middle of that period he will cause 05:21 the Jewish Temple's sacrifices, 05:24 which had been re-started, to cease, Daniel 9:27, 05:30 page 46 of The Late Great Planet Earth 05:33 and so Hal Lindsey's view is typical, 05:36 he interprets this one-week period 05:39 as seven years of great tribulation. 05:42 Now, is 05:44 Hal Lindsey right or is he wrong? 05:47 And there are many, many, many others, 05:49 I can mention names, 05:51 I'm sure you're probably aware of many of them, 05:53 and they interpret this text in a similar way. 05:56 Well, first of all, we have to look at the context 05:58 of Daniel 9:27. 06:00 The context starts, really, in verse 24 06:04 and it could go down to verse 27. 06:06 Verse 24 says, "Seventy weeks are determined upon your people 06:12 and upon your holy city," 06:14 now let me give you some background of this text. 06:17 This verse, this whole chapter was written by Daniel 06:19 when he was in Babylon, he was a Jewish captive, 06:22 the Israelite people had strayed from God, 06:25 they had set up idols, 06:26 they had been disobedient to the Lord, 06:28 and after hundreds of years, after they came out of Egypt, 06:31 hundreds of years of patience on the part of God, 06:34 finally, He allowed the Babylonians to come 06:37 and to just decimate Jerusalem, they destroyed the Temple 06:40 in the year 586 B.C., they took many Jewish people 06:46 captive... there were actually a number of waves of captivity, 06:49 and Jerusalem was just in a devastated position, 06:52 condition... and Daniel was a Jew in Babylon. 06:55 Jeremiah had predicted that there would be a 70-year period 06:59 when the Jews will be in Babylon, 07:01 and at the end of that period they were going to come back 07:02 and rebuild their temple and their city 07:04 and have another chance to be faithful to God. 07:07 And as they neared the end of that period, 07:10 this is where Daniel 9 comes in, 07:12 and Daniel knew that the 70 years were coming to an end, 07:16 and it was getting ready for them to go back 07:18 and rebuild their city and their temple, 07:20 and then Gabriel shows up in Daniel chapter 9, 07:23 and gives Daniel this prophecy, there would be 07:27 "Seventy weeks determined upon your people 07:30 and upon your holy city... " Daniel 9 verse 24, 07:35 now, the next verse describes when the period would begin. 07:40 In verse 25, Gabriel said, "Know therefore and understand, 07:45 that from the going forth of a commandment to restore 07:49 and build Jerusalem... " certain things would happen 07:53 and so we have to pinpoint exactly when this 07:55 commandment would start. 07:57 Persia conquered Babylon 07:59 and there were a number of Persian kings 08:03 that issued various decrees, allowing the Jews to go back. 08:07 There were two kings, Cyrus and Darius... 08:10 they issued decrees for the Jews to go back 08:13 and to rebuild their Temple and then Nehemiah 08:16 who was in Persia, with the new king... 08:20 he was also given permission 08:22 to go back and help to rebuild the wall, 08:24 around the city of Jerusalem which had been broken down. 08:27 But there was one particular king named Artaxerxes 08:29 and this is recorded in Ezra chapter 7 08:32 where he issued a lengthy decree allowing the Jewish people 08:37 to go back and also to re-establish Jerusalem 08:42 as the center of the restored Jewish State. 08:47 And of those four decrees, Cyrus' and Darius' 08:51 those two decrees were just only concerning the temple 08:55 Nehemiah's letter was to simply give him permission 08:59 to rebuild the wall around the city 09:01 but it was Artaxerxes' decree that was the longest 09:04 and that was the one that specifically gave 09:08 the authority to Jerusalem to be re-established 09:12 as the center of the Jewish State 09:15 and that is the decree that fits the prophecy 09:18 in Daniel 9:25 where Gabriel said, 09:20 "Know therefore and understand, 09:22 that from the going forth of the commandment 09:24 to restore and to build Jerusalem... " 09:27 Artaxerxes' decree restored the authority of Jerusalem 09:30 and the Jewish State and if you study history, 09:34 the dominant date that rises up for that decree of Artaxerxes 09:39 is the year 457 B.C. and in a different Bible, 09:43 not particularly this Bible, 09:44 but I have another Bible that... in the margin of the Bible, 09:47 it lists 457 B.C. 09:49 it's just a standard King James Bible 09:51 and that is the standard date that has been accepted 09:55 by Scholars around the world. 09:57 So, if we take that date 09:58 as the date of the beginning of the timeline 10:01 of the restoration of Jerusalem, 10:03 based on Daniel 9:25, 10:05 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth 10:07 of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem," 10:10 it says, "until the Messiah the Prince" 10:13 which would be Jesus, 10:14 there is going to be a 7- week period 10:17 and then a 62-week period 10:20 and then we go down to verse 27 10:22 and then there is one more week left. 10:24 Now, I never really was 10:26 I'll confess, good at math, 10:28 math was not my favorite subject 10:29 when I was a little boy in school, 10:31 my mother... my Jewish mother... sometimes would say to me, 10:34 "Steve, put your 'math hat' on and start tackling these topics" 10:38 and so, I don't know if you like math... 10:40 maybe you do... maybe you don't, 10:41 but we do have to do some mathematics 10:44 to figure out this prophecy. 10:46 So, we have a period of 70 weeks and just imagine, 10:50 I'll just hold out my arm here, imagine this is the 70-week arm, 10:54 and verse 25 and verse 27 says, 10:56 that this period is divided into three smaller periods. 10:59 there's a 7-week period, there's a 62-week period, 11:02 that would reach to the Messiah, 11:03 and then that leaves a 1- week period 11:06 and 7 + 62 + 1 = 7070 weeks... 11:10 so that's the period and it's sub-divided 11:12 into those three smaller periods. 11:15 Now, when you study this out and search this out 11:20 it's very clear that the 70 weeks which comes out to... 11:23 if you add up how many days in the 70 weeks 11:26 it's 490 days, 11:28 this cannot be just 70 literal weeks 11:31 it can't be 490 literal days, and the reason is because 11:35 from the decree to restore Jerusalem 11:38 from the time of Persia after Babylon, 11:40 which was in 457 B.C., 11:43 70 literal weeks or 490 literal days, 11:48 just from that decree... 11:49 does not take you down hundreds of years, 11:52 to the time of the coming of the Messiah, 11:54 and so, therefore, we know 11:56 that this must be a day for a year 11:59 and most scholars recognize this, 12:01 now there's a verse in Numbers 14:34, 12:04 and in Ezekiel 4 verse 6 12:06 that talks about how God had given them 12:08 a day to represent a year, and so when you apply 12:13 a day for a year to this prophecy, 12:15 there's a breakdown and let me get these exact figures 12:20 right here in front of me, 7 + 62 + 1 = 70 12:25 a day for a year, Ezekiel 4:6, 12:27 7 weeks comes out to 49 days or years, 12:32 62 weeks comes out to 434 days or years, 12:37 and 1 week... the last week comes out to 7 days or years, 12:42 so, 49 years, 434 years, 7 years you add them up 12:47 and it comes up to 490 literal years 12:51 and we start with 457 B.C. and we go down 49 years 12:57 and then we go down 434 years, 13:02 which ultimately is 483 years, 13:06 and from that time of that decree, 13:10 in 457 B.C., if you go down 483 years, 13:13 the Bible says that it should take us 13:16 to the time of the Messiah. 13:18 That's what Gabriel said... verse 25, 13:20 "Know therefore and understand, from the going forth of the 13:24 commandment to restore and build Jerusalem" in 457 B.C., 13:27 "... until the Messiah the Prince, 13:29 there would be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks... " 13:33 Now, here's something amazing, when you put your "math hat" on, 13:37 and you do the calculation from 457... 13:41 you go down 483 years, 13:44 and there's no "zero" year... so you take that into account, 13:46 from B.C. to A.D. you go down 483 years 13:50 and it takes you exactly 13:52 to the year 27 A.D. 13:55 and Gabriel said that this would be the time when 13:58 the Messiah would come. 14:00 The word "Messiah" means the anointed one. 14:03 Jesus Christ was anointed when He was baptized 14:07 by the Holy Spirit. 14:08 He came up out of the water and the year was 27 A.D. 14:11 He was baptized by John the Baptist, 14:13 the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit came down 14:16 and Jesus Christ was anointed 14:18 by the Spirit... at His baptism, 14:20 and that's what the word "Messiah" means... 14:22 The Anointed One... 14:24 and in Mark chapter 1 verses 12 to 15, 14:27 right after Jesus was baptized, Jesus made an amazing statement. 14:32 In Mark chapter 1 verse 15, after He was baptized, 14:36 he said: 14:42 So when Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled... " 14:45 what time was He talking about? 14:47 There's really only one Old Testament "Time" Prophecy 14:53 that He could have been referring to, 14:55 and that was the prophecy in Daniel chapter 9 verse 25 14:58 that said, "... from the going forth of the commandment 15:01 to the Messiah the Prince, there would be... " so much time 15:04 and that time ended in 27 A.D. 15:06 and when Jesus Christ was baptized 15:08 He said, in Mark 1:15, "the time is fulfilled, 15:11 repent and believe the gospel. " 15:13 It's amazing and that prophecy and that statement of Christ... 15:16 it gives us confidence in the Bible, 15:19 it gives us confidence in prophecy, 15:21 it gives us confidence 15:22 that Jesus Christ is Himself truly the Messiah, 15:25 and that He was fulfilling Scripture... 15:27 just like the prophecy said that He would. 15:31 It's a wonderful prophecy to confirm our confidence 15:35 in God's book... in God's Word... 15:39 so, if we go the 7 weeks, 15:41 and then the 62 weeks, 15:44 which... a day for a year comes out to 483 years 15:46 from 457 to the coming of the Messiah, 15:49 that leaves... one week left which we find 15:53 in Daniel 9 verse 27, "... he shall confirm 15:57 the covenant with many 15:58 for one week;" which... a day for a year would be 16:02 one week... 7 days in a week, 16:03 which would come to a 7- year period. 16:06 So there's a 7-year period in Daniel 9:27, 16:09 but we have to find out what does this 7-year period 16:14 or who does the 7- year period apply to. 16:16 As I mentioned in Hal Lindsey's book, 16:20 The Late Great Planet Earth, on page 45, 16:23 he refers to Daniel 9:27 as God's last seven years 16:28 of dealing with the Jewish people, 16:30 and he interprets again verse 27 which says, 16:44 Hal Lindsey interprets the "he" as the antichrist 16:47 who will make a covenant with the Jewish people 16:51 but he will break that covenant, 16:53 in the middle of that 7- year period 16:55 and he will cause the 16:57 Jewish Temple worship and sacrifices to cease... 17:01 and then he quotes, Daniel 9:27, I've got it underlined here 17:05 in my copy of Pastor Lindsey's book. 17:09 Now, the question is, and here's the controversy, 17:14 is Pastor Lindsey's interpretation of Daniel 9:27... 17:19 is it actually a correct interpretation? 17:23 Should that last one-week period... 17:27 that 7-year period, at the end of the timeline... 17:31 should that period be moved all the way down 17:34 to the end of time 17:35 and called a "7-year period of tribulation?" 17:38 That's the question and then we get the controversy 17:41 if so... we got the Pre-Trib, 17:43 the Mid-Trib and the Post-Trib battle. 17:46 Well, let me give you eight different reasons right now 17:50 why the 70th week of the Daniel, that last 7-year period 17:54 actually was fulfilled 2,000 years ago. 17:58 I'll give you eight reasons. 18:00 Reason number one is that the 70-week timeline, 18:05 is a consecutive timeline, Gabriel said in verse 24, 18:08 "Seventy weeks are determined upon your people" 18:11 upon the Jewish people and there's no example 18:15 anywhere in the Bible or anywhere in history actually 18:18 where a timeline... a period of time... 18:22 is broken up where you take one part of it 18:25 and you move it down to a different part. 18:28 Seventy weeks is seventy weeks. 18:31 In the Bible the Bible says that the rain came down 18:34 in the days of Noah for 40 days and 40 nights. 18:36 Those were 40 days and 40 consecutive nights. 18:38 Israel was in Egypt for 400 years. 18:41 That was 400 consecutive years. 18:44 Jesus was in the wilderness being tempted by the devil... 18:47 the Bible says for 40 days, 18:48 those were 40 straight consecutive days 18:51 and it just makes sense, all the sense in the world 18:55 that the 70-week period would be 70 consecutive weeks 18:59 without a break. 19:00 The reason Number two and this makes perfect sense, 19:03 that the 70th week of Daniel would follow the 69th week. 19:07 It just doesn't make sense to take that 70th week 19:09 and move it down to the end of time 19:11 and call it a 7-year period of tribulation. 19:14 If I was living about an hour away from a certain city 19:19 and I said to somebody, "How long will it take me to... 19:21 it's 70 miles to get to the city how long will it take?" 19:24 and they said, "Oh about... I would think... " 19:26 well if they said that it was 70 miles, 19:28 I would assume it would be about an hour 19:30 for me to drive there, 19:31 but then if they said, 19:32 "No, actually it's going to take you two days 19:34 to get to that city because 19:35 in between the 69th and the 70th mile... 19:37 there are actually 2,000 miles. 19:39 That wouldn't make any sense at all 19:41 and it doesn't make sense that the 70th week 19:45 shouldn't follow the 69th week. 19:49 It makes sense that it does follow it. 19:51 So that's reason Number two. 19:53 Reason Number three is the entire prophecy, 19:55 is focused on the Messiah, 19:57 it's the Messiah that is mentioned in Daniel 9:25 20:01 from the going forth of the commandment 20:02 until the Messiah... 20:04 there will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks. 20:06 In verse 26, it talks about, 20:08 "... after the threescore and two weeks" 20:11 or the 62 weeks... "the Messiah would be cut off," 20:14 So the context of the prophecy is the Messiah, 20:17 the word "antichrist" is not mentioned in the prophecy 20:19 anywhere... 20:21 it's not in Daniel 9 verses 24 to 27. 20:24 Reason Number four is... the text says, 20:26 in verse 27, that "he shall confirm the covenant" 20:32 who is "he"? Who would confirm? 20:36 In Romans chapter 15 verse 8, Paul said that 20:40 Jesus Christ came to confirm 20:42 the promises made to the fathers:" 20:45 You won't find anywhere in the Bible, 20:47 where antichrist confirms a covenant with anyone. 20:52 The word "covenant" is a Messianic term. 20:55 It applies to the Messiah and to what Jesus Christ does. 20:59 So, He shall confirm... that's reason Number four... 21:02 Number five: it says, 21:05 "He shall confirm the covenant with many... " 21:08 and these are almost the exact words of Jesus Christ 21:11 in Matthew 26 verse 28, the night before He died. 21:14 He took the bread... passed it out... 21:16 passed out the cup, and He told His disciples that 21:19 this is my blood of the New Covenant 21:22 shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. 21:25 The text says, "He shall confirm the covenant with many... " 21:29 Jesus said, "this is my blood of the New Covenant shed for many" 21:34 He was quoting Daniel 9:27. 21:37 Reason Number 6 is... it says, 21:40 not only that He would confirm 21:42 the covenant with many for one week, 21:45 which will be seven years, but in the midst of the week... 21:48 he would cause the sacrifice to cease. 21:51 The midst of the week would be after 3 and a 1/2 years. 21:55 It's a seven-year period, 3 and a 1/2 in... 21:58 would be the midst of the week, 21:59 and then there would be 3 and 1/2 more years 22:01 and the amazing thing is 22:02 is that Jesus Christ's ministry lasted... 22:04 His public ministry lasted exactly 3 and 1/2 years. 22:07 Right on time... 22:10 Before He died... he would say many times, 22:13 "My hour is not yet come, my hour is not yet come," 22:15 and then finally when the time came, 22:17 He knew... the hour had come 22:18 because he was going to die on time. 22:21 He was baptized on time, He was born on time, 22:23 and He was going to die on time. 22:24 Going on, it says that he would 22:27 confirm the covenant with many for one week; 22:29 and in the midst of the week, what would He do? 22:31 He would cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. 22:36 And after 3 and 1/2 years of public ministry, 22:38 Jesus Christ died on the cross 22:42 and what happened to the sacrifices... 22:45 the Jewish sacrifices... 22:46 as far as their value when Jesus died? 22:49 The fact is... the truth is... they ceased 22:53 to be of value in the sight of God. 22:55 There was a hand that ripped the veil in the temple 22:57 from top to bottom... mysterious hand... 22:59 and that was God's way of showing 23:01 that the sacrificial system had come to an end. 23:04 That it was no longer of any value 23:06 because Jesus Christ, The Great Sacrifice, 23:09 had been offered on the cross for our sins, for yours and mine 23:12 and He died... perfectly right on time 23:15 right in the midst of the week. 23:16 That's when He caused the sacrifice to cease. 23:19 Point Number eight... the last point is... 23:21 that leaves us 3 and 1/2 years left. 23:24 The 3 and 1/2 years... Jesus was baptized in 27 A.D. 23:27 he died in 31 A.D. in the middle of the week, 23:29 and then the period ended in the year 34 A.D. 23:33 and it was in 34 A.D. that Stephen was stoned, 23:35 because he gave his appeal to the Sanhedrin 23:38 in Acts chapter 7, they rejected him. 23:40 It says that they stopped their ears, 23:42 they didn't want to hear anymore, 23:43 Stephen was about to die, he looked up 23:46 and he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 23:50 his face was like an angel, and they killed him 23:53 and at that point, 23:54 in 34 A.D., 23:56 that's when the church shifted its energies 24:00 and the gospel, in the book of Acts, 24:02 began to go to the Gentiles. 24:04 So the 70-week period 24:05 that was given for the Jewish people, 24:07 ended in 34 A.D and the gospel went to the Gentiles. 24:11 And so, point by point, the prophecy was fulfilled. 24:15 I have an ancient book here in my hands. 24:17 It's called, "Christ and the Antichrist" 24:18 it came out in the 1800s, 24:20 and it was written by an author 24:23 who was part of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, 24:25 and in this book, "Christ and the Antichrist" 24:28 published in 1846, it says on page 47, 24:32 that some time during the remaining seven years, 24:35 of Daniel 9:27, He... Jesus... was to die 24:39 as a sacrifice for sin. 24:41 One would think that the people among whom 24:43 this prophecy occurred could not possibly 24:46 have misunderstood the prophecy 24:48 and then it continues on page 49, and it says, 24:50 "the 70 weeks of Daniel have, therefore, certainly ended 24:53 many centuries ago. " 24:55 Matthew Henry, one of the most famous 24:58 Bible scholars, who has written a commentary 25:01 that is read by Christians around the world, 25:04 his comments on Daniel 9:27, 25:06 refers to the "he" as Jesus Christ. 25:08 that the covenant... 25:10 "This covenant He, Jesus, would confirm... 25:12 by His death and resurrection... a covenant of grace. " 25:15 The Adam, Jamieson and Clarke Commentary says the same thing. 25:21 Adam Clarke's... I'm sorry... 25:23 it's Jamieson Fausset and Brown's 25:26 Commentary says the same thing. 25:27 Adam Clarke, in Ancient Methodist Commentary, 25:29 he said the same thing 25:30 and all throughout Christian history 25:33 there have been scholars who have studied Daniel 9 25:38 and they put the pieces together that it was a consecutive period 25:41 it started with the time of Persia, 25:43 takes you down to Jesus' baptism 25:45 and then ends with the shift 25:47 to the gospel going to the Gentiles, 25:48 and right in the middle of the 70th week, 25:50 Jesus Christ died on the cross, causing the sacrifices to cease, 25:54 fulfilling Bible prophecy perfectly. 25:57 Daniel 9:27 confirms our faith in the Bible. 26:00 It confirms our faith in prophecy. 26:02 It confirms our faith in Jesus Christ 26:04 that He is our Messiah, and it confirms our faith 26:07 in His power and in His ability to forgive us for our sins. 26:12 Satan hates that prophecy, 26:13 he doesn't want us interpreting it correctly, 26:15 and he has pulled the wool over many sincere people's eyes, 26:19 and caused them to take that last seven years 26:22 and apply it at the end of time to the antichrist 26:24 when it really applies to Jesus Christ, 26:26 and the bottom line is that 26:27 there is really no future 7-year period of tribulation at all 26:31 based on Daniel 9:27, Jesus is the center 26:34 we need to accept Him now, 26:36 and get ready for His soon return. 26:38 Will Christians soon disappear 26:41 raptured before 7 years of tribulation 26:43 when the antichrist makes war against the Jews? 26:45 Jesus Christ gave this special warning about the last days. 26:49 "Take heed that no one deceives you!" in Matthew 24:4. 26:52 Find out the truth about these end-time prophecies 26:55 by ordering Steve's popular book "End Time Delusions" 26:58 for only $13.95. 26:59 To order, call 1-800-78-Bible 27:02 or write to White Horse Media P.O.
