Isaiah 23:15 And it shall come to pass
in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy
years, according to the days of one king: after the
end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
"according to the days of one king".
"days of one king" refers to the age of a king. God
puts these words here to remind us that He is
talking about the age of Tyre in this verse.
God says after Tyre turns 70 years
old, Tyre shall sing as a harlot. I am trying to
guess if it is during the first year of tribulation
Tyre sings as an harlot, or it is in mid-trib when
he sings as an harlot.
16 Take an harp, go about the city,
thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet
melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be
remembered.
In the first year of tribulation,
Antichrist shall confirm a covenant with Israel and
many nations, He shall also conquer and conquer
according to the first seal white horse rider. The
white horse rider has bow but no arrows. It speaks
of him coming by peace. From Daniel 8, angel
Gabriel also tells Daniel the little horn shall come
by peace. He has a peace plan in hand. It looks like
he doesn't have to wait until the mid-trib to go
about the city ( visiting many nations and cities) ,
makes many sweet melody and sings many songs ( his
diplomacy to garner supports from many nations and
cities for his peace plan ) . Verse 16 sounds
like Tyre is already busy at work, makes many sweet
melody, and sings many songs during the first year
of tribulation. And there is verse 17.
17 And it shall come to pass after the
end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre,
and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit
fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon
the face of the earth.
At the end of seventy years, that is,
immediate after Tyre turns 70 years old, he commits
fornication with all the kingdoms of the world. Does
Tyre have to wait until mid-trib to commit
fornication with all the kingdoms on earth? I don't
think so. From my thread "The rise and fall of
Antichrist", he is very active once tribulation
begins. He first gain the ten horns alliance from
EU, then after the battle of Gog/Magog, he revives
the Roman Empire by combining the two legs together.
It does look like "committing fornication with all
the kingdoms on earth" begins in the first year of
tribulation , instead of a mid-trib event. Having
said this, I believe Tyre / Antichrist is 70 years
old in the first year of tribulation, instead
of 70 years old in mid-trib.
Continued from my last post of 70
years in Isaiah 23:15-18.
Right now I have two candidates
for the next Pope, based on their age. Cardinal
Pietro Parolin who shall turn 70 years old in
2025 which is my mid-trib timeline. Cardinal
Peter Erdo who turns 70 years old in 2022 which
is the first year of tribulation in my timeline.
Right now I am leaning toward Cardinal Peter
Erdo having a better chance to succeed Pope
Francis. He was one of the hopeful in 2013 Papal
Conclave. Cardinal Pietro Parolin wasn't in that
race. Going by the tradition of Vatican, they
shall award the Papal position to the previous
contestant who fails just by a slight margin in
the last Papal Conclave 2013. Having said this,
Cardinal Peter Erdo has a better chance to
succeed Pope Francis than Cardinal Pietro
Parolin in the upcoming Papal Conclave,
A note here. God says immediate
after Tyre reaches the end of his seventy years,
God shall visit Tyre. Only after the church is
gone, God shall visit Tyre and deals with him.
This is why I say Cardinal Peter Erdo's birthday
is very interesting.
