The 7-Year Tribulation That Doesn't happen
I just wanted to take a step back from our Red-Letter Bible Study today and address this issue.
This keeps coming up. If you have followed Biblical prophecy, you can't miss the 7-year tribulation timelines, the constant prediction of the "pre-tribulation" rapture and when it doesn't happen, the resetting and rewriting of the timeline to fit the narrative. It seems to be picking up steam on the internet or maybe it's just because Google is feeding our interests. In any case, the continued predictions of the Rapture, failed predictions and subsequent adjustments have to cause a lot of people to simple walk away! And that's the danger of predicting this stuff!
We want to address this pretribulation rapture thing by looking at the very text from where it is derived. You'll discover two things. There is nothing in the text that suggests a pretribulation rapture at all. Further, the text that is used to suggest a 7-year tribulation is incorrectly translated to support a narrative (IMHO).
Let's walk through Daniel's Seventy weeks and that last week and see if we can discern just from the text itself without any preconceived ideas about a seven-year tribulation, or a rapture, or a new temple that has to be build and see if that interpretation is warranted. If this section of Danial doesn't point to a 7-year tribulation or even a 7-year peace deal made by the antichrist, then the whole 7-year tribulation prophecy you see all over the internet falls on its face. This is the only place that mentions a 7-year period and I think you'll agree, once you see with clarity that the last of the 70 weeks HAS ALREADY HAPPENED!
