"Marilyn Agee -
Shortened Tribulation"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2011/marilyna1024.htm
Dear Marilyn & Doves:
Just yesterday, after a discussion on politics and current
events my father said to me, "so Pineman, how much time do
you think we have left"? I said, "well Pop, its coming
down on us like a freight train and if you could hang in
there till this coming spring I think you'll be getting your
new immortal body then". After a couple of seconds of
processing I saw , by the expression on his face, that he is
confident he can do it.
Marilyn, I'm sure my father would be much happier with a
Hanukkah rapture and you may be right on (as we use to say
in the 60's) in your analysis. Even so, I still respectfully
disagree.
I think that the Gog war and Armageddon are two different
wars. WW3 ends at the beginning of the trib and 7
months later is the dedication of the temple.
I believe the shortening of the trib is shortened down to
the end of Daniel's 70th week with only a 21 day reprieve in
the beginning (from Rosh to the 8th day of Tabernacles). If
Jesus doesn't come back on Rosh 2019 then there will
certainly be no flesh left. The Sabbatical Year
and the following Jubilee Year will indeed be settled but
because right now we're in the Church age and even though
some try to impute a continuous accounting of the 7 and the
50 (year 1 of the new 7) , I have yet to see the farmlands
of every country lie fallow every 7 years. I think that
there are many things that are in suspended animation until
the millennial reign commences.
The 1335 days is mentioned in the verse preceding the one
you referenced for Daniel standing on his own lot but I
think that the verse that you referenced is a summation.
You did a minus 7 on Nissan 1, 5776 putting the start at Nissan
1, 5769, March 26, 2009. Whether you are talking about the trib or
Daniel's 70th week I don't think the Church can be on planet
earth for either one.
There are many moving parts in the scenario you draw for us
with rich scriptural references. I think the doves will be
discussing and agreeing and disagreeing right up to the end
(and probably then some!).
