MIght want to consider just when THAT was written......like maybe 40 years before it happened.....so of course it was to "come to pass" eventually.......like 40 years later
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Tribulation
The time period for these beliefs is also based on other passages: in the Book of Daniel, "time, times, and half a time", interpreted as "three and a half years," and the Book of Revelation, "a thousand two hundred and threescore days" and "forty and two months" (the prophetic month averaging 30 days, hence 1260/30 = 42 months or 3.5 years). The 1290 days of Daniel 12:11, (rather than the 1260 days of Revelation 11:3), is thought to be the result of either a simple intercalary leap month adjustment, or due to further calculations related to the prophecy, or due to an intermediate stage of time that is to prepare the world for the beginning of the millennial reign.
These numbers are for half of the tribulation since it is divided into two halves.
More replacement theological ignorance.......your true colors are shining bright.....! And make no mistake, you will pay the price for your insolence and hatred which is not of God, nor does it lend to proof of your salvation!
There you again lol... name calling and no answers. You should really explain those verses to the poor souls your misleading.
Name calling....you should get a dictionary and look up the words I posted and identify the names I called you....seems you have a real comprehensive problem reading and understanding at the same time.....!
THE GREAT TRIB...........the boogy man of every heretic/apostate in the land. Hal Lindsey had all the answers. Yes, Hal who had 3 wives (not all at the same time, he was not a mormon) and a profitalbe TV show about the GREAT TRIB. Pentecostals latched onto this theme as if a lightbulb had gone off over their heads.
A very great time of tribulation came for those it was prophesied TO..........the JEWS. The army of Rome (in scarlet and hyacinth <the colors of the Roman army) laid a seige on Jerusalem after many years of war with the Jewish rebels.
The Jewish temple was destroyed, no more sacrifice for their sins, they were killed, starved and even one account of a woman who cooked and ate her own child. Christians fled to Pella and were saved.
Yet, Gentiles today think they are ones the prophecy was meant for.
Josephus, who was actually WITH the Roman army and was an eye witness, tells of the events as if he was reading from Revelation itself.

OH PLEASE!
If that is your theory how do you explain the 1335 day?
Here is mine:
12 how blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1335th day
approximately 45 days after the fall of the temple ( in 70 AD), the bulk of the abomination of desolation (the army of the Caesars) went back to Rome.
1290 days plus 45 days = 1335 days
If they have a bible they can look it up...........or better yet they might have that scripture committed to memory!
Oh yeah I see what you mean it wasn’t name calling you were questioning my salvation... you’re doing God a favor protecting his sheep from the wolves.
The problem with your vew is the abomination of desecration has to take place in the Temple. The antichrist will enter the temple and proclaim himself God. That didn't occur but almost did. One emperor had a gold statue made of himself to be put in the temple. It was damaged before it could be placed there and never fixed. So it never happened back then. We have the Israelites getting ready to build a new third temple on the site of the original site of the 2 previous ones. Therefore we will have to wait until the new third temple is built for the abomination of desecration to take place.
Hatred of Jews is not of God and you should be banned for calling them Jesus killing scumbags!
Do you really think God is going to ordain a temple with a holy place since Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and we are temple of God?
Here is a better concept of the tribulation. Have fun trying to refute this!!

Question: "What is the Tribulation? How do we know the Tribulation will last seven years?"
Answer: The tribulation is a future seven-year period of time when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. The church, made up of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus to save them from being punished for sin, will not be present during the tribulation. The church will be removed from the earth in an event known as the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53). The church is saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Throughout Scripture, the tribulation is referred to by other names such as the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12; 13:6-9; Joel 1:15; 2:1-31; 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:2); trouble or tribulation (Deuteronomy 4:30; Zephaniah 1:1); the great tribulation, which refers to the more intense second half of the seven-year period (Matthew 24:21); time or day of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Zephaniah 1:15); time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
Who said annyhing about God ordaining it. It is religious Jews in Israel doing this. They reject Jesus.

The Pre-Tribulation View
The Rapture is characterized in the New Testament as a "translation coming" (1 Corinthians 15:51- 52; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) in which the Lord comes for His church, taking her to His Father's House (John 14:3). However, at Christ's Second Coming with His saints, He descends from heaven to set up His Messianic Kingdom on earth (Zechariah 14:4-5; Matthew 24:27-31). The differences between the two events are harmonized naturally by the "pre-trib" position, while other views are not able to ac count comfortably for such differences.
A New Testament Mystery
Paul speaks of the Rapture as a "mystery" (1 Corinthians 15:51-54), that is, a truth not revealed until its disclosure by the apostles (Colossians 1:26). The Second Coming, on the other hand, was predicted in the Old Testament (Daniel 12:1-3; Zechariah 12:10; 14:4). In fact, the oldest prophecy uttered by a prophet was given before the flood of Noah and was of the Second Coming! It was given by Enoch, quoted in Jude 14-15.
The movement of the believer at the Rapture is from earth to heaven; at the Second Coming it is from heaven to earth. At the Rapture, the Lord comes for His saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16), while at the Second Coming the Lord comes with His saints (1 Thessalonians 3:13).
Post-tribulation Problems
One of the strengths of the pre-trib view is that it is better able to harmonize the many events of end-time prophecy because of the above distinctions. There are some awkward difficulties with the post-tribulational view:
1) The post-tribulation view requires that the church be present during the 70th week of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27), even though it was absent from the first 69. This is in spite of the fact that Dan 9:24 indicates that all 70 weeks are for Israel. We believe the church must depart prior to the 70th week, before the final seven-year period (see our briefing package, Daniel's 70 Weeks, for further study).
2) The post-tribulation view denies the New Testament teaching of imminency--that Christ could come at any moment--since there are intervening events required in that view. We believe there are no signs that must precede the Rapture.
3) The post-tribulation view has difficulties with who will populate the Millennium4 if the Rapture and the Second Coming occur at essentially the same time. Since all believers will be translated at the Rapture and all unbelievers are judged, because no unrighteous shall be allowed to enter Christ's Kingdom, then no one would be left in mortal bodies to start the population base for the Millennium.
4) Similarly, post-tribulationism is not able to explain the sheep and goats judgment after the Second Coming in Matthew 25:3- 46. Where would the believers in mortal bodies come from if they are raptured at the Second Coming? Who would be able to enter into Christ's Kingdom?
5) The Bride of Christ, the church, is made ready to accompany Christ to earth (Revelation 19:7-8, 14) before the Second Coming, but how could this reasonably happen if part of the church is still on the earth awaiting the Second Coming? If the Rapture of the church takes place at the Second Coming, then how does the Bride (the church) also come with Christ at His Return?

Then how the heck is there a holy place where an abomination takes place if it’s religious Jews behind it?
