I did not realize J.R. Church also thought there would be a 10 year
tribulation but I guess that means John Nelson and I are in good
company.   We've both posted our reasons on 5 Doves in the past for why
we think Scripture reveals a 10-year tribulation.  If you have links to
information on J.R. Church's views it would be appreciated.  I'm curious
to know his reasons.  Also, John and I independantly calculated out
September 23, 2015 for His 2nd coming to end the 10-year tribulation
based on an exact seven sevens of 360-day prophetic years per Daniel's
70-week prophecy, (borrowing from Sir Isaac Newton's interpretation).
Which I realize there will be scoffers on applying scripture in this
way, (doesn't say much for the Magi does it).  But leaving that aside
and just looking at scriptural evidence for a 10-year tribulation I
believe John came to that conclusion after fitting together the 1260 day
Great Tribulation with the additional 2300 days in Daniel to come up
with 3560 days which with another 40 days brings one to a prophetic 10
years.  For myself, I looked at the 10 days of tribulation the
Tribulation Chuch is said to go through in Revelation 3:3 along with the
ten days of tribulation (awe) between the Feast of Trumpets (first fall
feast for Christ to fulfill in the Rapture), and Yom Kippur (second fall
feast for Christ to fulfill in His 2nd coming.)  Which all came together
when I realized what the difference was between a mercy generation and a
justice generation as revealed in scripture.  Anyway, I worked out all
the details and calculations based on this interpretation of scripture
in a 179 page book which I just got published this past month,
http://www.lulu.com/content/73215 .  (If anyone is interested in
exploring the possibilities of a 10-year tribulation in more depth,
(among other things)).

Also, if anyone on 5 Doves noticed my absence of postings the past few
months it was because I had been busy on this project instead.  Sorry.
Anyway, I am still waiting on the latest proof copy (I keep making
changes) which the target I had felt led to was before the upcoming
Feast of Trumpets (September 16th).  Which I'm surprised there have not
been more rapture watches for this date on 5 Doves.  At least a watch
for something ominous.  (It is the 11th anniversary of the approving by
the Israeli parliament of the Oslo accord by the way.)

Shalom-
