Daniel's 70th Week Explained: Israel, the Rapture & the Great Tribulation

This video is part of a series by Jocelyn Andersen focusing on Daniel 9:24 and the six purposes of Daniel's 70 weeks. Andersen explores the prophetic timeline, emphasizing that these 70 weeks are specifically determined for the Jewish people and Jerusalem, rather than the Church (Ecclesia).

Key concepts discussed so far (0:00 - 1:17:00):

• Purpose 1 (Finish the Transgression): The speaker explains this as God restricting or prohibiting the consequences of Israel's rebellion, specifically the rejection of their true Messiah (20:50 - 24:34).
• Purpose 2 (Make an End of Sins): This refers to ending the system of ceremonial sin offerings that will be reinstated in the future, distinct from the completed work of Jesus on the cross (30:16 - 35:43).
• The Gap: The current age, described as the time of "Christ in you," is a period between the 69th and 70th week where God is working through the Ecclesia (39:29 - 43:12).
• The 70th Week: This seven-year period, often synonymous with the Great Tribulation or Time of Jacob's Trouble, will only begin after the Rapture of the Church and after the future covenant with the Man of Sin (false Messiah) is signed by Israel (52:07 - 52:53).

Highlights for later:

• The remaining purposes of the 70 weeks (1:30:00 - 1:42:11).
• How God will ultimately conclude His plan for Israel and seal the vision and prophecy (1:40:00 - 1:42:11).

The Midnight Cry: Evidence of a Pre-Trib Rapture

"And at midnight, there was a cry made, Behold the bridegroom cometh: go ye out to meet him...and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut...Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour the Son of Man cometh" Matthew 25:1-13...Read commentary on this passage at: Jocelyn Andersen: Matthew 25:1-13 The Midnight Cry: Evidence of a Pre-Trib Rapture

The Wrath to Come 12:12 Revelation

 Revelation 12:12: The Wrath to Come …Woe to the inhabiters of the earth andof the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. The wrath the inhabitants of the earth will be subjected to during The Great Tribulation will come from more than one source. In Revelation chapter six, we see a reference to the “wrath of the Lamb.” 

In Revelation chapter fourteen, we see a reference to the “wrath of God.” In addition to these things, each of which in and of themselves, are legitimate things to fear and avoid at all costs, in Revelation 12:12, we see the inhabitants of the earth and sea informed that these woes will be compounded by the fact that the wrath of Satan will be added into the mix. 

John the Baptist was prophet who had real insight into, and understanding of, the Old Testament prophecies concerning the events of the “wrath to come.” He understood the almost absolute devastation of the earth and human population it would cause. We see that in Matthew chapter 3 verse 7. 

Paul understood these things as well and, in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, was praising God that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, not only to saves our souls from hell but also to delivers us from the “wrath to come.” 

There is no doubt that Paul and John the Baptist were both referencing the events that are described so vividly in The Revelation. Jesus confirms this in his statement seen in Luke 21:34-36 where he emphatically gives warning to “…pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Jesus said again, in The Revelation chapter 3 that he would keep those who keep his word from (out of) the hour of temptation (trial) that was coming upon all the world. 

Don’t wait, if you know all is not well with your soul, make it right. Turn to Jesus who is reaching out to you. Repent of the unbelief that will steal your soul for eternity. Romans 10:9-10 & 13 promises salvation to all who call upon the name of the Lord believing that Jesus Christ is his risen son. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says now is the accepted time, now is day of salvation. Acts 2:38 says: Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus.

When Will We Rule & Reign With Christ? Revelation 5:9-10

In Revelation 5:9-10, we are presented with a group of blood bought, resurrected and raptured saints. We know they have already been raised/caught up, because we see them in Heaven, before the throne of God, and wearing crowns of gold (Revelation 4:4), because they have already been raised, judged, and rewarded.

The chronology of The Revelation is clear that these things occur before any seals of judgment are opened and loosed upon the earth, initiating The Beginning of Sorrows and The Great Tribulation.

These redeemed people are praising the Lamb for two things. They are praising him for redeeming them with his blood, and they are praising him because they are looking forward to reigning on the earth with him.

Jesus, the only Christ, is God of gods, Lord of lords, and King of kings. And he will have the last word. He that sits in the Heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall have his enemies in derision, and Jesus will establish a kingdom that will have no end.

But he is not reigning on this earth just yet.

With all the filth and unrighteousness we see around us, it is a gross insult to him to even suggest that he is. It goes without saying, that those who belong to him are not reigning yet either, nor will they... until Heaven opens and Christ returns visibly and physically to this earth, with all his saints.

Those who teach that mere mortals will be instrumental in “ushering in” the Kingdom of Christ by bringing about conditions on earth which will “release” Christ from Heaven, have no idea what they are talking about.

In Revelation 5:9-10 we see two things. We see the pre-tribulational resurrection of the dead in Christ and the pre-tribulational rapture of the Ekklesia—the called out [out of] assembly (i.e., the Church). We also see that any ruling and reigning that will be done, is still a future event and will not take place until after The Great Tribulation is concluded. We know this because Christ will not return to earth with his resurrected and raptured saints until the battle of Armageddon, which will conclude The Time of Jacob’s Trouble (Revelation 19).
