Sir, respectfully whether one phase or three phases, there is no precedent for the Almighty stopping/pausing time. As you correctly say, He multiplies time and then adds it to the time that remains as it's counting. But when you say "there are 7 years that remain" that wait until the time of Gentiles (i.e. church age) is fulfilled, you're creating such a gap (pause; stop) to the count. Separating the 69th week from the 70th week is man thinking for God, which forces scripture to fit their eschatology, instead of the other way around.
I agree Israel is dead for approx 2000 years and that it was judged in 70AD. With those true, consider this Word of truth that the Messiah taught Peter...
Matthew 18:21-22
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
It's the same number taught to Peter; a count of 490 is given until judgment for sin is just. The Almighty doesn't change, and Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Israel received a countdown of 490 to accomplish the list of tasks given to Jerusalem and the people to end their sin and bring in everlasting righteousness (Daniel 9). But they killed "the Bringer of everlasting righteousness", and we both acknowledge and agree Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD. With the death of Stephen in 34 AD, their countdown came to an end, it wasn't paused but completed. Judgment was just.
Ok yes, agreed.
Agreed.
I must disagree with the portion in red. If the prophecy clearly says the final kingdom (before being smashed into bits) will be mixed but not cleave to one another, they never reunite. Never. They can keep trying but something will always happen to pull them apart. This is what I meant when I said the final mixed kingdom is already present. There is no scripture that says the iron/clay mixture finally works out to form a reborn Roman Empire or that an antichrist unites them. They mingle but never cleave to one another. They can form agreements all they want but scripture says they will never be one people ever again. Unless you can produce a passage?
"It's a lie from satan himself"? To what end? what does it accomplish for satan to target the Papacy? What, to get our eyes off of a man that comes in the future...always in the future...who becomes president of the European Union and then takes over that united body and rules as a dictator?
^Is any of that scriptural?? Or did it comes from a movie plot or a series of books?
This is why the pause between the 69th & 70th weeks is so critical to dispel because it creates a mental block that completely overlooks 2000 years of satan building his kingdom. Recall that he had already fallen like lightning during the Messiah's ministry (as testified by Him). Does it make any sense that satan would be piddling around for 2000 years when we know Revelation said he has little time left after falling?
