I will listen to this later.
I had to attend my local church ‘virtually’ today. I’m on day 3 of the sneezy snifflies. Stupid coronavirus. Not Covid-19, just the common variety of coronavirus that causes the common cold. Feeling better, though.
The ‘catching up’ is truly our blessed hope—to be gathered to the Bridegroom!
One question I am encountering here and there just in the past few months that I’ve never been exposed to before is something I don’t really see much discussion on by pre-trib prophesy teachers I listen to. And, I can not find any resources to help address it. But, a pre-trib rapture is based in very large part on “Daniel’s 70th Week” of 7 years. Well, I am running into some teachers (one of them being my own brother-in-law who was challenging my pre-trib view) sort of taking apart Daniel 9 to make the argument that there is no gap between the 69th week and 70th week. The gist of this is that Daniel 9:27 is basically referring to Jesus putting an end all sacrifice, etc. So, the result of this is that the 7-year timeline assigned in Revelation is only a 3.5 year ‘great tribulation’ and EVERYTHING happens inside of that timeframe. No pre-trib. In fact, there is a post-trib teaching that accompanies there.
Is it only me that has not encountered this re-thinking of the 70th week of Daniel until now? I really would love to hear a Farag, Barry Stagner, Hindson, or other speak into this—or just a solid resource that addresses this head-on otherwise!
Hi Greg - for now would recommend the following:
TL;DR - if Daniel 9:27 refers to Christ then it follows that it is also Christ that breaks His own covenant.
Regrettably this type of emergent exegesis, which always seems squarely aimed at pre-trib, is unbiblical at best and heretical at worst.
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Numbers 23:19
17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the [f]immutability of His counsel, [g]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [h]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we [i]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Hebrews 6
Yours in Christ
This is gold. Thank you!
