Could someone explain to me how do they make Daniel 9:27 talk about the AntiChrist and not Christ and where do they came up with the gap idea? What suggests that there is a stop in the prophetic clock?
[h=1]Matthew 24:3-31 (CJB)[/h] [SUP]3 [/SUP]When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the
talmidim came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that you are coming, and that the
‘olam hazeh is ending?”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Yeshua replied: “Watch out! Don’t let anyone fool you! [SUP]5 [/SUP]For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray. [SUP]6 [/SUP]You will hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off; see to it that you don’t become frightened. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come. [SUP]7 [/SUP]For peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various parts of the world; [SUP]8 [/SUP]all this is but the beginning of the ‘birth-pains.’ [SUP]9 [/SUP]At that time you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and put to death, and all peoples will hate you because of me. [SUP]10 [/SUP]At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, [SUP]11 [/SUP]many false prophets will appear and fool many people; [SUP]12 [/SUP]and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from
Torah. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But whoever holds out till the end will be delivered. [SUP]14 [/SUP]And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness to all the
Goyim. It is then that the end will come.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]“So when you see
the abomination that causes devastation spoken about through the prophet Dani’el standing in the Holy Place”[SUP][
a][/SUP] (let the reader understand the allusion), [SUP]16 [/SUP]“that will be the time for those in Y’hudah to escape to the hills. [SUP]17 [/SUP]If someone is on the roof, he must not go down to gather his belongings from his house; [SUP]18 [/SUP]if someone is in the field, he must not turn back to get his coat. [SUP]19 [/SUP]What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nursing mothers! [SUP]20 [/SUP]Pray that you will not have to escape in winter or on
Shabbat. [SUP]21 [/SUP]
For there will be trouble then worse than there has ever been from the beginning of the world until now, and there will be nothing like it again![SUP][
b][/SUP] [SUP]22 [/SUP]Indeed, if the length of this time had not been limited, no one would survive; but for the sake of those who have been chosen, its length will be limited.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]“At that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look! Here’s the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ don’t believe him. [SUP]24 [/SUP]For there will appear false Messiahs and false prophets performing great miracles — amazing things! — so as to fool even the chosen, if possible. [SUP]25 [/SUP]There! I have told you in advance! [SUP]26 [/SUP]So if people say to you, ‘Listen! He’s out in the desert!’ don’t go; or, ‘Look! He’s hidden away in a secret room!’ don’t believe it. [SUP]27 [/SUP]For when the Son of Man does come, it will be like lightning that flashes out of the east and fills the sky to the western horizon. [SUP]28 [/SUP]Wherever there’s a dead body, that’s where you find the vultures.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]“But immediately following the trouble of those times,
the sun will grow dark,
the moon will stop shining,[SUP][
c][/SUP]
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers in heaven will be shaken. [SUP][
d][/SUP]
[SUP]30 [/SUP]“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,
all the tribes of the Land will mourn,[SUP][
e][/SUP] and they will see
the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory.[SUP][
f][/SUP] [SUP]31 [/SUP]He will send out his angels
with a great shofar;[SUP][
g][/SUP] and they will gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
