Is THIS The 7 Year Covenant? Is the Rapture Soon?
This is a thought-provoking video about a 7 Year Plan being pushed forward at the UN this September which ponders the question, Could this be the 7 Year Covenant revealed in the Book ofDaniel 9:27?
Daniel 9:20-27 (NKJV)
20Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God,
21yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.
22And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.
23At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:
24 “Seventy £weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, £To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.
25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The £street shall be built again, and the £wall, Even in troublesome times. (Read the Book of Nehemiah)
26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”
Thus, Daniel’s prophecy of a final 70th Week, final 7 Year period in which God deals with Israel, “Daniel’s people,” (not the Church because the Church is Raptured from the Earth into Heaven) begins when the Anti-Christ will “confirm a Covenant with many for one week.”
Further, Daniel’s prophecy reveals that this “one week,” is divided into two 3 ½ Year periods; the later 3 ½ years called by our Lord Jesus, the “Great Tribulation”:
Matthew 24:15-27 (NKJV) Note verses 15 & 21
15“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ £ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),
16“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
18And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
19But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
20And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
23“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.
24For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25See, I have told you beforehand.
26“Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.
27For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Both Daniel’s prophecy and the words of our Lord Jesus Christ reveal that the mid-point event of the 7 Yer Tribulation is the Anti-Christ breaking the Covenant by invading Israel and setting up in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem the “Abomination of Desolation.” The Book of Revelation 13, reveals that the “Abomination of Desolation” is the setting up in the Holy Temple by the False Prophet (whom I’m convinced will be the Pope of Rome) an image/statue of the Anti-Christ which the False Prophet causes to “come alive” and commands all Mankind to bow down and worship the talking image of the Anti-Christ and receive on their forehead or righthand His Mark, without which no Man can buy or sell! (Read Revelation 13).
The Apostle Paul gives further insight into this event, revealing that the reason all Mankind are commanded to worship the image of the Anti-Christ is because he has shown up at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem claiming to be God, the God of Israel and the Bible, i.e., Jesus Christ!
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NKJV)
1Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (2nd Coming at end of Tribulation) and our gathering together to Him (Pre-Trib Rapture), we ask you, 2not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of £Christ had come (2nd Coming at end of Tribulation).
3Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of £sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits £as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (Rev. 13)
5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6And now you know what is restraining (The Body of Christ the Church), that he may be revealed in his own time.
7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only £He who now restrains will do so until £He is taken out of the way (Pre-Trib Rapture of the Church) .
8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie (the lie that Anti-Christ is Jesus Christ),
12that they all may be damned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
One last insight regarding Daniel’s 70th Week/7 Year Tribulation—The Scroll with 7 Seals which is opened by the Lamb that was Slain Jesus Christ revealed in Rev. 6, and played out throughout the Book of Revelation is Daniel’s 70th Week! I may be the only Bible Teacher who teaches this; I pray there are many others, but I’ve never heard any other preacher state this. The Good News is that Revelation also confirms the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church”: It’s promised in Rev. 3:10, and performed in Rev. 4:1,
Revelation 3:10-11 (NKJV)
10Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
Revelation 4:1-2 (NKJV)
1After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
WE’RE GOING TO GOD’S THRONE!
A final thought: I also teach that the Rapture will occur in fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashannah during the 48-hours of this Biblical Feast; specifically near the end at the “Last Trump” shofar blown in Israel. This year, 2023, Rosh Hashannah begins at Sundown Friday September 15, and ends Sunday September 17, at sundown.
As always, keep looking up!
Luke 21:28 (NKJV)
28Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
