Michael Heiser Eschatology Overview 03 The Tribulation

[@donhaddix3770]

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

[@ShadowofTheAlmighty]

@donhaddix3770 Yes, "near" meant 'near to John', as he was the one receiving the Revelation. You can't stretch anything in the book beyond John's time, there's just way too much temporal imminence displayed throughout.
Rev 1:1,3,9,19(about to happen) - Rev 22:6,7,10,12,20 = 1st and last chapter are Bookends!😉

Excellent teaching! I have personally seen the complexity of interpreting Eschatology myself as a million piece puzzle 🧩 and when you think you see the picture clearly then you find that some of the key pieces don’t fit to complete the picture you anticipated. I think that God wants us to keep our eyes on Jesus and let Him work it out 👍

[@davidsinger6577]

Wow! I can’t understand how this topic could be mind numbing. Great teaching!

[@davidsinger6577]

Meant to say can 😊

[@Thewanderer_378]

Just be ready!. Receive Jesus as savior before it's too late!. ❤

We have the advantage of hindsight when looking at Daniel 9:24-27.
And the "prince to come" whose people destroy the city in verse 26 is not referred to as being anointed.
It is clearly referring to 70AD.
Verse 27 jumps ahead in time, which happens often in prophetic literature, to the start of Daniel's 70th week.

[@ShadowofTheAlmighty]

So many reasons why there will never be a 3rd physical temple and why vs 26 can only be 70AD. Antiochus did not "destroy the city and temple"..he only desecrated it.

Hi Jonathon any chance you have these four lessons on file, I have downloaded them from yt and they are not legable, I would be happy to pay for a disk?

I see through a glass darkly.

[@SpeculativeEschatologist]

Could this play into the discussion of the destruction of temple?
19Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20The Jews, therefore, said, “This temple was built [in] forty-six years, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21But He spoke concerning the temple of His body; [From John 2]
Consider the ripping of the veil that signified the end of the OT process.

Don't know if this comment is too late, but... Shame he is no longer with us. Great neutral teaching. In the end the Lord will decide which option to take, or perhaps a different one entirely, and these are only to confuse the enemy. Whatever.. come Lord Jesus come.

The temple was destroyed in 70ad.
The numerical value of "ΑΥΤΩΙ" ("Israel" in Greek) is 349.
349 is the 70th prime number.
7•10 = 70
ΑΓΙΟΝ (Holy) = 134
ΠΝΕΥΜΑ (Spirit) = 576
134+576=710

[@AnNtD_fHtR]

Number of words from Genesis 1:1 through to "Messiah" (Daniel 9:25) = 289,958.
Number of words in the New Testament= 137,720
289,958+137,720=427,678
427,678= 86 • 4973
The Hebrew word "Elohim" has the numerical value of 86.
4973 is the 666th prime number.

You do realize that what you just displayed is an equation stating that:
"God X's antichrist = the Bible"...?😶🤨

Futurism is a counter-reformation false teaching, spawned from the pen of the Jesuit monk, Francoisco Ribera.
circa. 1585 A.D.
Preterism is a counter-reformation false doctrine spawned from the pen of the Jesuit monk Luis de Alcaser circa. 1601 A.D.
Biblical method of prophecy interpretation:
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
*Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done* saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
{Isaiah 46:9-10}

BUT......the church is believing Jews " ACTS 7:38

[@The_Letter_J6]

absolutely sick to death of the Antiochus Epiphanes teaching. That is not mentioned anywhere in scripture, therefore, I can’t believe it.

[@KlintonSilvey]

You cannot be serious. It's recorded by historians and in Maccabees (which were part of the Canon before the reformation and still are in the Catholic and Orthodox churches). You don't think anything significant could have possibly happened between Malachi and Matthew? It was a massively significant historical event that Jesus refers to (abomination of desolation) and also produced an entire festival (feast of dedication aka Hanuka) which Jesus took part in. So yeah even if you kick out Maccabees it's still referred to in the Bible.

[@The_Letter_J6]

@@KlintonSilvey I can't believe secular history- it's too revised. Some destroy with the sword, others with the pen. Given ample time, America's founding will be eroded by destroyers. The KJV Bible is the only pure and perfectly preserved word of God. If God didn't inspire men to write about Antiochus, then I can't believe it.
