The 7 years is the 70th week of daniel
and do you believe that time-period is YET FUTURE?
The day of the lord, is the last 3.5 years/ the time after the AOD. As declaired in Dan 9, in the middle of the week…..
Paul states that
"the day of the Lord" ARRIVES
"exactly like [hosper]" the
INITIAL "birth PANG [
SINGULAR]" that COMES UPON a woman... and so Jesus had spoken of them [in the
PLURAL], and
the FIRST ONE He spoke of is (as I'd pointed out): Matt24:
4/Mk13:
5 "G5100 -
tis - 'A CERTAIN ONE ['a certain one'
BRINGING DECEPTION]" WELL-BEFORE the AOD point in time...soooo... think: Seal #1 and the "BOW" ("bow" often meaning "DECEPTION" in Scripture)
...and think: 2Th2:9
b corresponding with Dan11:36-37 the one (there
IDENTIFIED) who will at the later
MID-point [Dan12:1 time-frame] do the "sitteth" thing, and involve the "AOD [singular] SET UP [H5414]" thing of Dan12:11, the ONLY ONE (in Dan) Jesus could have been referring to, in His words of Matt24:15[,21--kicking off
"GREAT" tribulation] referring back to
as "spoken of by Daniel the prophet"
there is nothing in scripture which says anythign about a 7 year tribulation period.
Well, I think you agree that the "GREAT" tribulation (from the AOD onward) lasts for the 3.5 years...
...so the parts of the "7yrs" that PRECEDE that point in the chronology, ppl COMMONLY CALL "the Tribulation" (coz the "GREAT" aspect OF IT, starts LATER at the AOD point / MID-point of the "7 yrs"... the Dan9:27
b point in the chronology...)
It is your assumption (which I'm saying is incorrect) that "the day of the Lord" only commences at the 3.5-yr mark.
But even Joel 2:31 (speaking of SAME item that is SEAL #6) says, "BEFORE the GREAT"[-aspect
OF IT], NOT "before the day of the Lord IN ITS ENTIRETY," see. IOW, the "moon into blood" isn't happening "BEFORE the day of the Lord," but "BEFORE the GREAT[-aspect OF IT]" which aspect commences at the MID-point (at the AOD point--when 3.5 yrs are yet remaining); so Joel 2:31 AGREES with the SEALS [this one being Seal #6] as being IN THE FIRST HALF of the "7 yrs"... "BEFORE the GREAT[-aspect OF it]" part.
Again, Paul tells us exactly the manner (and timing) of its "ARRIVAL" and that it at the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR; 1Th5:1-3 / Matt24:4/Mk13:5<--and that "A CERTAIN ONE" IS the rider on the white horse WITH A "BOW [/deception]" aka the pseudo-Christ, at the START of the "7 yr period"... i.e. the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time-period
1:1/1:19c/4:1)
there is nothing in scripture which says anythign about a 7 year tribulation period.
Likewise, there is nothing stating that "the DOTL" time-period COMMENCES at the AOD point in time (Joel 2:31 isn't saying what many ASSUME it is saying, as I mentioned above)...
... that is your ASSUMPTION (an incorrect one) = )
