Hi Eric,

Be wary of the deception of satan in the end times (ignore this if you are pretribber). The reason there are two thrones, one in Germany, and the other in Turkey, this is to justify his scenario of a fake 3.5 yr great tribulation and his real 3.5 yr great tribulation; a dummy antichrist from the islamic caliphate and the real antichrist from the revived roman empire; the vatican as the great babylon to be destroyed by the islamic caliphate and the USA as the great whore to be destroyed by the revived roman empire EU; the mark of the beast as a counterfeit of the seal of God; the false prophet as the counterfeit of the two witnesses; The ten kingdoms as the Ten Lost tribe of Israel plus national Judah and Benjamin (Jews) or the 144,000; the Bowls judgement  which the real antichrist will claim as only the trumpet judgement and the end is yet to come, given the similarities of their events. (IMO the trumpet judgement happens at the end of the Millennium, the Seventh Seal; Half hour Silence in Heaven is the one thousand years of peace on earth; the Sixth Seal is the Great Tribulation and the Second Advent). Jesus said that the great tribulation will be cut short. I don’t know if 3.5 years or 7 years is already a cut short period. Satan will play along with the hype of the unbiblical 7 year tribulation to fit the fake 3.5 year great tribulation and his real 3.5 year great tribulation.

Please study the context of Danial 9 in verse 24. See what is the span of period that the 70 weeks will cover thinking as to when Israel and Jerusalem will finally accomplished the things that need to be done. Remember that there will still be transgressions and a rebellion that the Remnant Israel and the survivor nations  will commit at the end of the millennium.
