Pretty much everyone basically understands the time term "end times". But to be technically correct "end times" has to mean the end of the Church age (terminating in the rapture of the Church). I believe that the DOTL judgments aka 70th week of Daniel aka seven-year tribulation is actually the "beginning times".......because it is the beginning of the Day of the Lord, (the seals being the beginning of birth pangs) which "Day" lasts all the way through the millennium. I believe the precise beginning of the DOTL occurs in Heaven when Jesus takes the scroll from the Father. Technically the first judgment begins when the first seal is opened and yes I agree with you that the rider on the white horse is the prince that shall come, the son of perdition.No we are not in the end Tim yet but at the beginning of the beginning. Daniel chapter 12 gives us a hint of the end times. Knowledge shall increase and people shall fun to and from, but the end times have not come. Even Jesus told us that no one knows the day or the time. Not even the Son of Man knows when he will return only the father in heaven knows the times.
I think the end times will start at the sign of peace with the rider of the White horse of revelation 6.
No we are no in the end times yet but close to it. Keep studying the end times prophecies.
My point: Jesus could come to rapture His Church at any moment. So there are no succession of judgment warnings......as there are pursuant to the Second Coming.
And yes I do agree with you that Daniel chapter 12 gives us insight into technological phenomenon of the end times. And when I say "end times" I mean BEFORE the rapture during the Church age. So IMO we are there as far as that goes.
So ultimately yes I definitely agree that these are the "end times". Israel being in the land another indisputable signpost.
