Actually come to think about it being a fellow citizen in the household of God, the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12), has a lot to do with Daniel.
You probably didn't realize it, but Dan is my brother.
We can only be brothers if we have the same Father, but through Dan's redeemer Jesus I also can call God my Father.
In Dan's time they called a family a "house", and our family is called "the house of Israel".
"Israel" is a good name, because a man can't wrestle with God and prevail without Jesus Christ.
Yeah, Israel.
I kind of like it.
I'll have that one.
Nope. The phrases "in that day" and "the day of the Lord" refer to the Second Coming of Christ.
Please see:

Nope. The time of Jacob's trouble is Armageddon - and, neither it nor the other two phrases refer to the 'Great Tribulation'.
Its not about what "they" did, it is about what God did.
Animal sacrifices made after the cross not only did failed to ask atonement for sin, but they were in themselves grievous sins of blasphemy.
The crucifixion changed everything about sacrifice.
Well, you could be right there too.
It could play out as follows:
1. Flash building goes up in Jerusalem.
2. Evil tyrant lives there brutalizing the world with high tech wonders.
3. Christians start suddenly disappearing into his extermination camps.
4. Those of us that survive get told that they are raptured, and you missed the bus.
It seems unfair that Christian-Zionists that supported that genocidal regime would get to rupture their Rses out of here.
I hope that pre-trib stuff is not true.
Both sides of this issue are part right and part wrong. Israel will be a [biblical] nation again - during the Millennium. However, they will not be going back to the old ways. The way to salvation is identically the same for both Jews and Gentiles. All are "grafted in" together under the same covenant. Be careful to not confuse the covenant relationship with the existence of Israel as a nation during the Millennium. They still have a part to play in the realm of 'God's Plan' for humanity.
Israel has not been "replaced"; however, there is now a better covenant - wherein Jew and Gentile alike share in the same promises.
Hebrews 8:
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Please check this out and let me know if it makes sense to you...

Oh - without a doubt - it would be wonderful if pre-trib rapture were the reality - only, it simply is not biblical...
I have read your link with interest, and would recommend it to others.

The author follows the thoughts I have already had about the passage, but goes into greater detail than I ever have.
I have never made the effort to verify the mathematics of events and days with much precision, but have been satisfied that the 490 years reaches to the vicinity of a time when Christ is newly risen.
I understand where he is coming from when he speaks about "times of the Jews" and "times of the Gentiles", but would not be inclined to repeat that sort of framing.
We are a new creature in Jesus and completely lost outside, and I am sick of people treating Jews and Gentiles as if they are different species.
His reference to Mark 15:38 "And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom." addresses something significant that I would love to see more discussion about.
They just don't get it. Being part of the Israel of GOD is by GOD's choice; it's not a right endowed by physical birth; it's whosoever will, come. Jacob prophesied that the seed of Israel would become a fullness of gentiles. Natural Israelites would not surname themselves with the name of Israel when they already were called Israel.
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. One shall say, I am YHWH's, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall engrave his hand unto YHWH, and surname himself by the name of Israel. Isaiah 44:1-5

1. to address by an additional name.
This is what many don't get. The new covenant was made with the houses of Israel and Judah in the persons of the 11 disciples, and no one else. Any others are grafted into that covenant by faith in their words.
That's a good play on words because the faith of those who believe in it will be ruptured when it doesn't happen.
173,880 days, exactly 69 weeks of years to 10th Nisan 33AD (Triumphal entry). Perfect to the very hour.
And yet you are postulating a 2000 year great tribulation that you say constitutes the 70th week?
A patently absurd theory by any measure.
Just to remind you:
The futurist view is correct because:
- it fulfills all prophecy without fail, every last utterance
- there are no paradoxes
- all scripture harmonizes flawlessly
- it concatenates perfectly with THE SEVEN FEASTS OF MOSES PROPHETIC PATTERN
- it concatenates perfectly with THE PASSOVER PATTERN
- it makes room for the Church age gentile Bride and Rapture PATTERN
- and last but not least, it glorifies Christ and His word
Oh and BTW, God never pours out covenantal wrath on His redeemed people.
That is why:
• Enoch left
• Lot left
• Rahab left
• Ruth married
• Joseph’s bride secured
• Isaac’s bride sheltered
• Daniel absent
• Elijah taken
And then judgment comes.
Why this matters
The pre-tribulation rapture is not built on one verse — it is built on the entire architecture of Scripture.
It is how God has always worked.
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath…” (1 Thess 5:9)
The victory was the Resurrection.
The crucifixion was the ultimate act of injustice—the greatest abomination ever committed against God.
The Holy One of Israel, who had no sin was brutally executed.
No building, no earthly event, no military campaign could possibly match the gravity of this act.
Upon His unjust murder, desolation followed ... the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD followed but the real devastation was a spiritual desolation that resulted from Israel's rejection of their Messiah.
They severed their own connection to God through this act, fulfilling what Daniel foresaw.
They, individually, can be grafted back in to Christ Jesus via Belief and Faith in Him.
(from a correct commentary)
Oh I agree it was so gruesome to say the least. But my friend it was all orchestrated by God. From the trial to the cross and fulfilled old time sin presentation. He died according to scripture.
Jesus was and is the lamb of God not the lamb of men. Voluntarily laying down his life.
For the glory that was set before him he endured the cross.
this was not a murder as you have perceived it to be but a sacrifice he allowed because he thought you and i were worth it.
there was no othe way as his garden prayer revealed so he placed his life in the hands of the father saying...nevertheless thy will be done.
Jesus surrendered at the garden knowing full well what must take place.
Gods requirement for sin was and is a blood sacrifice for without it there is no remission of sin.
Acting as the high priest of the kingdom to come he offered himself.
seriously all that political mis trial hoopla was misdirection take a closer look .
As John the Baptist siad......behold The lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. .......mission acomplished praise God.
