Hi John and Doves,

At the risk of causing consternation (again) amongst the die-hard 7 year trib proponents, I offer my take. Just in case I am accused of "leaning upon my own understanding" - I ask that all consider the question as to whose understanding I should be leaning upon? Is it a man-made understanding that we should all accept as etched in stone? Yet another person's understanding? Absolutely not. This is something we should all be researching....seeking understanding.

The Day of the Lord is described in scripture as just that. ONE day. Not to be confused with 2 Peter 3:8 which tells us " With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day". It's pretty clear that the Day of the Lord is ONE day. This is a day that the Lord loses His temper and judgement is delivered.

As you all know, I place great store behind the prophecies received by Natan and Caroline. Both testimonies are in sync with Bible prophecy. Old testament and New. They do not contradict one iota of scripture. And the reason why they have both been ignored and side-lined by mainstream Christian prophecy experts is because the testimonies do not sync with established understanding of the end times. I cannot think of any other reason why. Hey - the old time prophets in the days of yore were ignored and ridiculed. Why should it be any different now?

In whatever sequence it all happens - Israel will be attacked. By Iran and her proxies and then by the Gog/Magog coalition. The Lord intervenes and protects Jewish believers for 1,260 days. Believers in Jesus (Christians) will have been raptured. Which can be broken down into 42 months or 3.5 years. Which is approximately the same allotted time our LORD Jesus was given to walk and preach to the earth. After the Day of the Lord, there will be few people left. Few enough for satan to attempt to bully and behead. Few enough for satan to bring in the Mark of the Beast system. Think about it. Imagine the world-wide protests and pushback if the evil powers-that-be attempt to mandate a "mark" that requires people to worship a certain person/thing if billions or even mere millions were still alive? The few people left will come under massive persecution and testing. They will be given every opportunity to repent. It is Almighty God's desire that NONE are lost.

What has happened before will happen again. There is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9. As our Lord Jesus was cut-off after 3.5 years, satan will be given (and cut off) after 1,260 days. 3.5 years. All's fair in love and war - as they say. After a thousand years of our beloved LORD Jesus ruling earth during His millennial rule, satan will be allowed to test humanity one more time.

We are fast approaching the Day of the LORD. Doubt it not.

Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Please come, LORD Jesus.
