Wow, someone is making eschatology about Jesus and resurrection, it sounds all gospel-ly.prohibits any rapture apart from resurrection

I bought Woolvard's book on Bible prophecy:
Every Prophecy of the Bible: Clear Explanations for Uncertain Times https://a.co/d/3zbvoTM
and his commentary on Daniel.
Daniel (The John Walvoord Prophecy Commentaries) https://a.co/d/6QdmWq9
I also talked to my pastor about it this morning at men's breakfast.
He said the gap between the 69th and 70th week is contained in Daniel 9:24-27.
I'll look at Woolvard this afternoon when I return home from my chores...
I'm not seeing anything that would give reason to believe that the two sevens are occurring together.
Obviously history shows they are not.
The crucifixion IS outside the 69thNonsense, a gap clearly places the crucifixion outside of the weeks
yep. To Palm Sunday.69 weeks transpire unto the the anonted one,
yep.then the gap to the future for the 70th week.
i just described it.Where is the sacrifice of Christ and atonement in the 70 weeks in a gap theory.
Actually it is.It is not within the 70 weeks.
Already have.If you think not, then show otherwise.
GREAT - Thank YouRevelation Chapter 22
14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.
There is a city, there is a kingdom, and that kingdom is God's. As part of the kingdom, we are microcosms of the kingdom, in the same way Jesus was the temple of God, we are the city in which God dwells.
In the realm of our hearts and minds, the thoughts disguising themselves as us, cannot enter to the indwelling tree of life. Because, outside are the dogs, the sorcerers. Outside are the sexually immoral, the murderers. Outside are the idolaters, and everyone who loves to lie and live a life of deception.
Since my application of the scriptures relates also to the world of thoughts and emotions, (so I may love God with all my heart and mind also,) the above relates to thought processes that do not belong and must remain "outside the city"
Ok.It isn't about our thinking friend, it's what the prophecy stipulates. The conclusion of the 69 weeks brings us exactly to the year of Christ's baptism. 27AD. This can be accurately confirmed by the dates given is in the gospels relating to the reign of the Roman Caesars. This leaves us with the 70th week.
Do what I asked above, let us corroborate your tally and then we can discuss the rest of this.Those...
KJV Daniel 9:27
27 And he ...
(Christ... In personal ministry through Judea for the first 3 and a half years until the crucifixion, and by the church for the final 3 and a half years leading up to the time of Stephen's martyrdom and the ministry of Paul to the Gentiles, this indicating that Israel's probation and opportunity as a nation to repent had expired... The 70 years completed),
shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he (Christ) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease
(by giving His life and becoming the sacrificial Lamb 31AD PASSOVER, this fulfilling all the requirements of the old covenant and accomplishing redemption for mankind)
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(Jesus's last words in the temple to the Jewish rulers immediately before being arrested, "your house is left unto you desolate". 70AD saw the destruction of the temple and the fulfilment of the promises of...
KJV Deuteronomy 28:15, 25
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:...
25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
I'm doing the shopping and chores at the moment.You were given a chance to show atonement was made in the 70 weeks
You did not do it
If you are going to gap over the crucifixion and the atonement made by Christ, where is the atonement for iniquity in the seventy weeks
You have not demonstrated it.
Instead of speculating on what my church teaches, you should be concerned about what scripture teaches and how you can harmonize what you believe with it
I am still waiting for your attempt.
You did...I think I clearly laid out why I believe what I believe.
I'm presently looking into this further, so I'll give an update later.From the unnatural reading of the gap to the negating of Christ's atonement, the gap theory entails. How could neglecting Christ's atonement and postponing atonement to some future time by some unknown entity be biblical.
Persia, Babylon, Rome, Egypt, Greece, etc... even the United States are all man made ideas. Built by men.Gap theory is man-made conjecture and cannot be found in Daniel 9:24-27 or any other place in scripture.
i never said it did lie.Scripture does not lie
It says- UNTO THE ANOINTED ONE...= "AFTER the 69th week MESSIAH is "cut-off"(crucified)
so historical events atone for sin?70 Weeks are Determined to Atone for Sin and to Bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS
No he doesn't.God never lies.
We do not need to know the exact day but we can know by what the LORD accomplished.It isn't about our thinking friend, it's what the prophecy stipulates.

SEE Post #69Persia, Babylon, Rome, Egypt, Greece, etc... even the United States are all man made ideas. Built by men.
Yet we read in Daniel 2:19-23 that God puts up, and pulls down kings.
So, I'd say that you're trying too hard, and in doing so, excluding historical reality.
i never said it did lie.
It says- UNTO THE ANOINTED ONE...
so historical events atone for sin?
i thought Jesus atoned for sin.
No he doesn't.
Humans however do.
So, how can I know that whoever told you these things weren't lied to by their teachers, and your teachers perpetrated the same lies to you?

Could it be when it's talking about the first resurrection it's talking about the type of resurrection it is? That would mean everything that is in the first resurrection would be defined as those who are resurrected to LIFE? The second type of resurrection would be those who are resurrected to the death.Well for me
1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 (ESV) — 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
prohibits any rapture apart from resurrection
But where? Your good pastor gave you a passage. What's the exact verse which would justify him saying this? It seems to me after just reading these verses that he's imposing this into the text with the idea can't you see it? I'm not saying there isn't something one could string together and make a potentially credible assumption but it should be noted it's just not in the actual text.I also talked to my pastor about it this morning at men's breakfast.
He said the gap between the 69th and 70th week is contained in Daniel 9:24-27.
There are no "other " groups of saints.Could it be when it's talking about the first resurrection it's talking about the type of resurrection it is? That would mean everything that is in the first resurrection would be defined as those who are resurrected to LIFE? The second type of resurrection would be those who are resurrected to the death.
This would mean that Jesus was the firstfruits of the 1st Resurrection......then the Pre Wrath saints, (not PreTrib but PreWrath would likewise be another first group type and that would be of the 1st resurrection..and then other groups when the Lord comes back at the end of Revelation? It could all still be called the First Resurrection for it's the first meaning of a type that is anything that is to LIFE.
Interesting we do see another type of maybe the first resurrection in Rev 11:12 where it states the two witnesses are killed and then they're raised and it says they were taken up in a cloud. Sounds very similar to 1 Thess 4: 15 but we know it's not the same event.

"Left-Behind saints" is the most vulgar lie ever to be perpetuated by.....
Your kindness is BEAUTIFULOh come on Dave it would not be! Even if it's not true it should never be considered what you've just stated above. I'd kindly suggest that you're being way too extreme.
