Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Revelation 10:11  And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 

I contend that the great multitude in Revelation 7:9 is the raptured Church.

I contend that the great multitude spoken of in Revelation 7:9 is the same group that John he must prophesying again to in Revelation 10:11.

I contend that the court, the temple and holy city in Revelation 11:2 are physically located in Heaven.

Therefore, the raptured Gentile believers will be in Heaven for 42 months or 3 ½ years.  I also contend that the raptured Church will be in Heaven for the same 42 months the antichrist is allowed to reign on earth which begins on the day of the rapture, (the day Michael defeats and kicks Satan out of Heaven to Earth), and ends at the Second Coming when Jesus cast the antichrist into the Lake of Fire.

The above supports my contention that 69 ½ weeks of Daniel’s seventy weeks were fulfilled the day Jesus was crucified, leaving only 3 ½ years or 42 months remaining to be fulfilled.  Reference my letter posted on April 29, 2018 - http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2018/garryb429.htm.

John 12:13 tells us at Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, many took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. Jesus rode the colt into Jerusalem on Nisan10.  Notice that the great multitude in Revelation 7:9 are also holding palms in their hands.  Does this mean that the rapture will occur on Nisan 10, on some future year?  Jesus/God fulfilled the first 4 Holy Feast right on schedule.  Will the next Holy Feast to be fulfilled by Jesus be the Feast of Trumpets at His Second Coming on Tishri 1, on some future year?  I do know that Nisan 10 plus 42 months or 1,260 days always falls on Tishri 1.  I report, you decide.  

As always, if you can find scriptural proof that the foregoing conclusion is not correct, I would appreciate you posting a reply with scriptural proof.

God’s Blessings,
