Let’s start this study with this important verse in Rev. 13 that explains the components of the Beast Kingdom (Antichrist Kingdom) and what we should be looking for in scripture to determine where God tells us the Beast Kingdom area is and where Antichrist comes from.
Rev. 13:2 (KJV)
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
(Statue Dream of Nebuchadnezzar of Daniel 2)
Lion – Iraq – Head of Gold - Nebuchadnezzar (1st Kingdom on Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue & 3rd Kingdom or ruler of the Jewish people in history)
Bear – Iran – Shoulders of Silver – Cyrus & Darius (2nd Kingdom on Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue & the 4th Kingdom or ruler of the Jewish people in history)
Leopard – Greece, Turkey - Legs of Iron – Alexander the Great (3rd Kingdom on Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue & the 5th Kingdom or ruler of the Jewish people in history)
· These 3 areas or the footprint of the Lion, Bear, & Leopard of the Beast Kingdom in the end days are the same as the 4th Kingdom in Daniel 7:4-6.
Then the Kingdom of Iron occurs or the Legs of Iron which is the Roman Empire (4th Kingdom on Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue & the 6th Kingdom or ruler of the Jewish people in history)
· In 286, the Emperor Diocletian decided to divide Rome into two sections to try and stabilize the empire. For 100 years Rome experienced more divisions and in 395 BC it finally became The Western Empire and The Eastern Empire. The division changed Roman life and government forever.
So, the Roman Empire was moved to Constantinople, Turkey and then after this the Roman Empire it was destroyed and replaced by the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
The Fall of Constantinople was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. The city fell on 29 May 1453, the culmination of a 53-day siege which had begun on 6 April 1453.
Modern historians use the term Byzantine Empire to distinguish the state from the western portion of the Roman Empire. The name refers to Byzantium, an ancient Greek colony and transit point that became the location of the Byzantine Empire's capital city, Constantinople.
This Kingdom then transforms into the Ottoman Empire which is the (5th Kingdom on Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue & the 7th Kingdom or ruler of the Jewish people in history ) or the Feet of Clay and Iron which represent radical Islam or the 10 horns.
The Kingdom’s of the Jew’s throughout their history, to the birth of their nation on May 14, 1948, are indicated by Daniel.
That there would be 7 Kingdom’s and then an eighth Kingdom at the very end or “A Beast Kingdom”.
The 7 Kingdom’s of Israel in their History to May 14. 1948.
1). Egyptian
2). Assyrian
3). Neo Babylonian Empire – Head of Gold - Nebuchadnezzar
4). Medo-Persian Empire – Shoulders of Silver – Cyrus the Great, Darius
5). Greco-Mecedonia – Waist of Bronze – Caranus, Perseus, Alexander the Great
6). Legs of Iron - Rome – Western & Eastern Divisions moved to Constantinople - Neo
7). Ottoman Empire – defeated in WWI, but Erdogan wants to revive and rebuild the New Ottoman Empire by 2023.
· The 2023 vision is a list of goals released by the administration of Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2010 and 2011, to coincide with the centenary of the Republic of Turkey in 2023.
· Erdogan has stated he wants to rebuild the New Ottoman Empire by this 100-year centurion mark (1923-2023).
· The 7th Kingdom or Ottoman Empire prior to WWI was not “completely destroyed” and will affect the Jews in the Last or End Days.
· This 7th Kingdom will be destroyed and replaced with an 8th Kingdom or Beast Kingdom as Daniel tells us.
8). The Beast Kingdom or Antichrist Kingdom to come at the End or Last Days .
_________________________
Daniel 7:3-7 (KJV) tells us that at the very end or during the last days we would see a 4th Kingdom’s rise. The 4th Kingdom being more dreadful and terrible than all the others. That its 4th Kingdom or Beast Kingdom would be a Kingdom that would include the Kingdom’s of the Lion, Bear, & Leopard past Kingdom areas or footprint. (This is the same footprint as Alexander the Great or the old Ottoman Empire).
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it
had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
These 3 areas of the Beast Kingdom shown in Daniel 7:4-6, which are in the future also, represent Neo Babylonian, Medo-Persian, & Greco-Mecedonia Empires areas of the past in history during Daniel's time.
Both the Roman and Ottoman Empires also are included in this same footprint. Daniel is telling us the area that the last or final Kingdom will come from.
Since Europe or Russia, in my opinion, is not part of this footprint; you can look at the Ottoman footprint at the end of WWI or even the footprint of Alexander the Great to see the area that will be included in the Beast Kingdom at the end.
_________________________
Daniel talks about a transition into the 4th Kingdom or Beast Kingdom.
Daniel 7:24-28 (RSV)
(The Transition from 10 Kingdoms that are destroyed, into 4 New Kingdoms after the destruction of the 10 Kingdoms before, to 1 Beast Kingdom at the end).
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
23 “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, (Daniel 7:7) which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. 24 As for the ten horns,
(10 Kingdoms rise with 10 Kings or Horns – Ezekiel 38-39 – happens between 1st and 6th Seal). out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise “after them”;
(These 10 Kingdoms or horns are destroyed somehow (6th Seal event) as this indicates this happens “After Them”. Or that these 10 Kingdoms would fall 1st prior to the Antichrist or Little Horn rising). he shall be different from the former ones,
(A little Horn or Antichrist rises from the residue of the 10 Kingdoms or Horns which form into 4 New Regions or Kingdoms and that this would be the same footprint or land area of 4 Generals Alexander the Great after he dies in 323 B.C.) and shall put down three kings.
(Antichrist or the Little Horn will overthrow the other 3 New Kingdoms or Regions that form from the residue of the 10 Kingdoms above). This would represent to battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39.
25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.
(Antichrist or Little Horn will be on the ground for 1260 Days prior to Desolation of Abomination) 26 But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
(Antichrist and the False Prophet are thrown in the Lake of Fire and Satan is bound for 1,000 years and after the 1,000 years Satan is thrown in the Lake of Fire where Antichrist and False Prophet already are – Rev. 20:10). 27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.’
28 “Here is the end of the matter.
· I explain in my teachings or studies that 10 Kingdoms or Horns are reduced to 4 New Kingdoms or Regions.
· The 10 Kingdoms or Horns are destroyed, form into a residue, which forms into 4 New Kingdoms or regions.
· A final or last 4th Kingdom, a Beast Kingdom, emerges and a Little Horn overthrow 3 of the 4 New Regions.
· Once the 3 New Regions capitulate to Antichrist and join him a New Beast Kingdom or Last Kingdom forms on the earth.
Therefore, this is why, I teach that 10 Kingdoms are reduced to 4 New Kingdoms and then a Final or Last Kingdom, the Beast Kingdom rises at the very end or the the Last Days.
This is indicated in Daniel 7:3-8 and the representation of the 4 beasts.
_________________________
Now let’s look at the imagery of Daniel 7:1-8 and explain how the 4 Beasts Daniel saw can be broken down into detail.
Daniel 7:1-8 (KJV)
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
In Daniel 7:4, this imagery is also represented in the Head of Gold in Daniel 2:32 & 36-38.
We see that this image of the lion with eagles’ wings applies to King Nebuchadnezzar kingdom during the 70 years of Daniel’s captivity. That the beast in Daniel 7:4 also represents when King Nebuchadnezzar fell from pride, was humbled (Lion’s wings being plucked off), brought to the ground and lived like an animal for 7-years, then is restored by God once King Nebuchadnezzar repents and looks to God and his understanding is also restored. He is then lifted to his feet (made to stand upon his feet like a man), his mind and heart are changed from and animal back to a man (a man’s heart was given to it) and he exalted the God of Daniel as the Most High. This also brought back the Word of God to the masses declared through Nebuchadnezzar after he was restored.
In Daniel 7:5, this imagery is also represented in the Shoulders and Arms of Silver in Daniel 2:32 & 36-39.
Daniel was also in captivity during this time of Cyrus and Darius and the Medo-Persian Empire. Daniel saw this 2nd beast as a Bear. It has 3 ribs in its mouth and one side or shoulder of the bear was higher than the other. This similar vision occurs in Daniel 8:3 & 8:20 with the Goat that has one side higher than the other. Indicating that Persia-Iran was a stronger nation (Cyrus) than the Medes-Kurds nation (Darius), but that they were both joined as a nation and are represented in the shoulder and arms of Silver in Nebuchadnezzar Statue in Daniel 2:32 & 36-39. The bear represented a more powerful nation than the Lion of Nebuchadnezzar led through Cyrus the Great. Cyrus was basically uninhibited in his conquest to the removal of the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom.
Medo-Persian Empire had 3 major conquests represented by the 3 ribs in the mouth of the bear.
1). Babylonians – Iraq
2). Egyptians – Africa
3). Lydians – Turkey or Asia Minor
In Daniel 7:6, this imagery is also represented in the Belly and Thighs of Bronze in Daniel 2:32 & 36-39. Daniel saw this 3rd beast as a Leopard. This beast has 4 wings of a fowl or bird, it has 4 heads and dominion was given to it. A leopard is quick, agile, and a quick killer, rapid conquest. Since this beast also has 4 wings, he would be even more aggressive and quick than just a normal Leopard. Alexander the Great ruled the Greco-Mecedonia Empire from 336-323 BCE. Alexander the Great conquered Asia minor too and including the Medo-Persian Empire within 10-12 years. He was given dominion over all these areas. Alexander died at a young age from disease and wounds from battle. History indicates that Alexander’s Kingdom ended up finally dividing into 4 sperate regions through 4 of his generals. These 4 regions are Cassender, Lsimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy, which is a similar footprint to the Ottoman Empire footprint prior to WWI. I believe this will also be the same footprint that we should be looking to in Daniel 7:1-7 represented by the Lion, Bear, and Leopard and is also indicted in Rev. 13:2 as the Beast of the Sea (Antichrist) and the Beast of the Earth (False Prophet) rise as this chapter unfolds.
So, this footprint of the Lion, Bear, and Leopard show us the area God wants us to concentrate on to see where the 4th Kingdom or Beast Kingdom of Daniel 7:4-7.
In Daniel 7:7, the imagery Daniel sees is of a 4th Kingdom or the Last Kingdom or the Beast Kingdom. This last Kingdom is dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it (Lion, Bear, Leopard); and it had ten horns. In Daniel 7:8, this last Kingdom consists of 10 Kingdoms reduced to 4 New Kingdoms, not of the same footprint. That from one of these 4 Kingdoms and Little Horn or Antichrist would come from (I believe Turkey) and overthrow the other 3 Kingdoms as stated in Daniel 7:8. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
If we go back and look at Daniel 7:20 and see how Daniel states this is becomes very clear the order of events. As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones,and shall put down three kings.
Another connection to Daniel 7:8 is Rev. 13:5-6 when it talks about the mouth speaking great things.
_________________________
In Daniel 7:9-14 we see the starting of the Judgement of God that will placed down upon Satan, Antichrist, & the False Prophet.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel in verse 11 tells us that the Little Horn or Antichrist will be given to the burning flame or be placed into the Bottomless Pit prior to the 1,000-year millennium. This is also indicated in Rev. 16:13 that these spirits would be removed from the bodies of Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet during Armageddon when the 6th Bowl is dropped by the angel of God. Both, Antichrist and the False Prophet are thrown in the Lake of Fire which connects us to Rev. 19:20 and also Rev. 20:10.
In Daniel 7:12, it indicates that the other 3 beast’s lives are prolonged for a season and a time. Daniel, in my opinion, is telling us that when the Lion, Bear, and Leopard Kingdoms fall prior to Antichrist or the Little Horn becoming into power for the short time of 1260 days. These 3 Kingdoms or reside will survive as fragmented nations, with their dominion taken away, but their lives prolonged for a season and a time or about 1 ½ years. I believe this time of the 1 ½ years, occurs just after the Antichrist rises on the 6th Trumpet in Rev. 9:13. We are told to prepare for the 1260 days of Antichrist which falls between the signing of the 7-year treaty and Abomination of Desolation. These 200,000,000 “radial” Muslim armies of Islam, indicated in Rev. 9:16, will be released on the whole planet after the sounding of the 6th Trumpet when Antichrist and the False Prophet rise. Chapter 13 of Revelation gives us detailed optics into this event and shows us who these two beasts are. The Beast of the Sea or Antichrist and the Beast of the Earth which is the False Prophet. Remember in Rev. 9:1 Satan is thrown from heaven on the 5th Trumpet and is given the key to the Bottomless Pit which is then opened at that time.
Isaiah 14:11-20 also shows us that Satan will be thrown down from heaven and will not touch the grave but sometime or a being will be cast out of this grave like an abominable branch.
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
In my opinion, we are being told that Satan will be thrown from heaven, that he will not be buried or touch the grave. That another being other than Satan will be expelled from this Bottomless Pitt as if he were being resurrected from this grave into an Antichrist figure, which occurs on the 6th Trumpet in Rev. 9:13. At this time a 200,000,000 radial” Muslim armies of Islam will be released for a 1 ½ years or a season and a time.
Once the 7th Trumpet occurs in Daniel 7:13 and the Lord Jesus comes with the clouds of heaven, Jesus then comes to God the Father and is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom on earth that shall, not pass away and shall never be destroyed.
The 7th Trumpet which is not blown in Rev. 10:7 actually occurs in Rev. 15:1. John is given a scroll to eat up in Rev. 10:7 and has a vision of the nations and peoples. This vision runs through the complete chapters of Rev. 11, 12, 13, & 14. John then is shown what occurs when the 7th Trumpet is blown in Rev. 15:1-2. The 7 bowls of God’s Wrath are handed out, and the sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
This is the Rapture that occurs after the Lord Jesus, 2nd coming on the 7th Trumpet, prior the “Wrath of God” being poured out or the 7 Bowls of God’s Wrath.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV)
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Daniel also explains this in Daniel 7:13-14, I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
(This is the same event as Rev. 15:1-2 which is the 7th Trumpet event).
In Daniel 7:15-16, he is grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 16 I came near unto one of them that stood by and asked him the truth of all this. So, he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
In Daniel 7:16 he is told the interpretation and the truth of this matter or vision of this 4th Beast which is exceedingly terrible, with teeth of iron and claws of bronze, which devoured and broke into pieces and stamped the residue with its feet.
Daniel 7:20-22 tell us to consider the 10 horns. And concerning the ten horns (Ezekiel 38-39) that were on its head, and the other horn (Little Horn or Antichrist) which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than its fellows. 21 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.
Daniel 7:23 (RSV) “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.
Remember Daniel tells us in verse 23 and 24 that 10 Kingdoms come 1st, and after them, meaning they don’t exist anymore. Another shall rise after these 10 Kingdoms fall, a Little Horn or Antichrist will rise from 4 New Kingdoms and then overthrown the other 3.
25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law;
· Antichrist will change the times to the Islamic Calendar and Sharia Law.
· He will make war against the Saints of Chapter Rev. 7 or the 144,000 people sealed from God which occur in Rev. 7:4.
· These 144,000 are redeemed in Rev. 7:14, which is the same event that occurs in Rev, 15:1-2 & Rev. 19:11 when the timing of the 2nd coming occurs and the “Rapture” of the dead 1st happens and then the ”Rapture” of living that are left on earth right after this.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord (7th Trumpet) shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God (7th Trumpet): and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air (Rev. 15:1-2, & Rev. 19:11): and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
· There are other verses in the Bible that deal with the 7th Trumpet Event or 2nd Coming of Jesus and the Rapture timing. (Rev. 15:1) (Rev. 11:15-19) (Rev. 14:7) (Rev. 14:14) (Rev. 19:11-16) (Rev. 19:21) (Mark 13:26) (Matthew 24:29-31) (Daniel 7:13-14) (Daniel 11:9) (Isaiah 14:3) (Isaiah 26:20-21) (Isaiah 27:12-13) (Zephaniah 1:14-16) (Zephaniah 2:1-3) (1 Thes. 4:16-17).
and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.
· Antichrist is in control for 1260 days, or 42 months, or 3 ½ years. Which is the time that occurs between the signing of the 7-Year Peace Treaty and Abomination of Desolation.
26 But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
Daniel in verse 11 tells us that the Little Horn or Antichrist will be given to the burning flame or be placed into the Bottomless Pit prior to the 1,000-year millennium. This is also indicated in Rev. 16:13 that these spirits would be removed from the bodies of Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet during Armageddon when the 6th Bowl is dropped by the angel of God. Both, Antichrist, and the False Prophet are thrown in the Lake of Fire which connects us to Rev. 19:20 and also Rev. 20:10.
27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.’
Rev. 20:4 (KJV)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev. 7:14 (KJV)
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
· God redeems his people after Great Tribulation and Abomination of Desolation has occurred on the Seat of God.
Since this includes all dead and living, we must logically assume this is the same timing of the “Rapture” of the Martyrs in Rev. 6:9-11 that perish in the Seals war between the 1st Seal and the 6th Seal when the Wrath of the Lamb or Jesus the Son destroys the 10 Kingdoms of Ezekiel 38-39. All people living and dead are "Raptured" on the 7th Trumpet when the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus occurs.
28 “Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind.”
