69 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 1 - Book 6 - Rapture

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 3 * PART 1 * BOOK 6 Daniel 9 & Genesis 25-26 Matthew 24:15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)." Never forget that this great Tribulation period, the seven years that is spoken of throughout all the Old Testament, is referred to here by Christ. Which means it is primarily God dealing with the Nation of Israel after all these years of seemingly ignoring them, and yet not really. Because always remember, one of the greatest miracles of the whole human race is the Nation of Israel. The proof of this Book is the Nation of Israel. God is not through with them. Now, here in Matthew 24, verse 15, He says to the Twelve, "when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (that would be in the Temple) whoso readeth, let him understand." Let's go back to Daniel and pick up again those verses that Jesus was referring to, so we can tie it all together. Daniel 9:24 God is speaking, of course, through the prophets. So, who are Daniel's people? Well, the Jew - Israel - the nation. "and upon thy holy city," (Jerusalem), "to finish the transgression and to make and end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity." Of course, that all took place at the Cross. Daniel 9:25,26 If I remember right, the date was March 14. Now, then, as you go into verse 26, it speaks of a coming prince. Christ is the Prince and He would be capitalized. But, this prince is a small letter, and it's a reference to the counterfeit christ, the Anti-christ, and it's the people out of which he will one day come that will destroy the Temple. Daniel 9:27 So on that basis, I've taught that when that treaty is signed by the Anti-christ and Israel, that puts God's time clock back in gear, which stopped back there at the Cross. The Temple. Then, I gave you a good indication of all the various types of people that will be in that fleeing remnant of Israel. Let's look at it in Matthew: Matthew 24:17,18 Matthew 24:19,20 Here's the reference that Israel will be be back under the Law. That's another thing many people can't comprehend - that Israel is getting ready to go back under the old Mosaic Law. Daniel divided it and Jesus divided it. Matthew 24:21 "For then (in other words from the mid-point on) shall be great tribulation,..." Christ comes and that ends it, and they completely ignore verses like this. But Jesus here is speaking of a time of trouble that this world has never seen, as over against what this particular little booklet was saying, that if the Book of Revelation ever was acted out, it was back in the time of Nero, and some of those in the Roman empire. What these folks don't understand is that there has never been a time in human history, not under these Caesar's, or Hitler, or Stalin, like that which is coming after the Anti-christ turns upon the Nation of Israel. Revelation 11:2,3 How long is that? Revelation 11:13 Then there's going to be a tremendous earthquake in the area of Jerusalem. This remnant will be these Jews fleeing (as Jesus said they'd better), out of Jerusalem, at the mid-point, and a lot of things happen. The Anti-christ is going to move his headquarters down into the Temple in Jerusalem. Along with it, is this tremendous earthquake and the fleeing of the remnant of Israel. Older people, middle age people, working people, young people - men and women, boys and girls. They'll be fleeing out of Jerusalem to their place of safety. Now, pick that up here in verse 13. They gave glory to God. The Christ! Then, let's pick them up across in Chapter 12: Revelation 12:5,6 "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." We come back again to this remnant of Israel, fleeing Jerusalem, "...where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (the God head, the Trinity, that's why it's a plural pronoun)should feed her there (out in the mountains, how long?) There's that same number again. This remnant of Israel will finally flee to the mountains (and I think it will be in the mountains in Moab, probably the ancient of city of Petra). Now, if you want to pick that up, carry it across to verse 14: Revelations 12:14 "And to the woman (that is this fleeing remnant) were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time (one year) and times (plural for two years for a total of three years) and half a time (making 3 1/2) from the face of the serpent." Now, let's go back and cover that statement in verse 14, that she's given the wings of a great eagle. God is speaking to Moses there at Sinai now, and He says: Exodus 19:4 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
