70 weeks of Daniel

(1/4) > >>

Rito1980:
have all the 70 weeks been fulfilled or is the last week yet to come? I have been searching if Ray ever did articles on this subject. From what i read in other places..the final week is very near and will setup the 7 year tribulation. Wouldnt that be something if Jesus returned in our lifetimes? :)

Here is a post I found about it. Might be of help

I think it would be great if Jesus did return in our lifetimes but I also feel it's also good if He doesn't because I know He will return at the right time. It's all in His plan and what a great plan it is. Too much for me to fathom.

Here is a bit where Ray mentions:


From: http://bible-truths.com/rapture.htm
WHAT IS THE RAPTURE?

Rapturists believe that I Thes. 4:13-18 describes a resurrection which includes both the living and the dead uncircumcision saints only, long before the saints of Israel are resurrected at Christ’s second coming. That there will be such a resurrection as outlined in I Thes. 4:13-18, there is no debate among believers. The debate that has raged in religious circles for over a century has to do with the "who and when" of its prophetic fulfillment. Here are the two scenarios:

Who will be in this secret rapture (resurrection)? Some say only the Body of Christ which they claim is composed of Gentiles and a remnant of Jewish believers only. The Apostles and saints of Israel will supposedly be in a resurrection that occurs much later at a different coming or presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. Others believe the Scriptures show that ALL the saints (dead and alive, Jews and Gentiles), are vivified together at Christ’s one and only second coming.

When will this secret rapture take place in prophetic chronology? There are three popular teachings regarding when Christ returns. Many believe that the final seven years of Daniel’s 70th week prophecy are separated by thousands of years from the first 69 weeks, and that the last seven years of this prophecy are to be fulfilled beginning seven years before Christ’s second coming. This then, apparently, is to be seven years of trouble and tribulation. The last three and one-half years is regarded by many as the "Great Tribulation" (Mat. 24:21).

One camp teaches that the rapture will occur before the Great Tribulation and; therefore, are known as pre-tribulationists. A second camp teaches that the rapture occurs in the middle of the seven-year week of Daniel are known as mid-tribulationists. And a third camp teaches that the rapture occurs at the end of the Great Tribulation. They are known as post-tribulationists.

No, you're in the right place.  However, there is no 'sexier' subject in all of christendom (except how tithing brings you physical wealth, maybe) than end-times prophecy (which brings a fair number of preachers wealth).

Start with the Lake of Fire series and continue.  If that doesn't help, the forum certainly can't.
