There is nothing to unravel if you know who the 'anti-Christ' literally is. Christ declared in Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
There is absolutely no 'good' reason why you or any other student of the WORD to not know who the anti-Christ literally is.
Now about Daniel's prophecy... Do you not think Christ knew what Daniel penned? How about, Mark 13:19? Christ speaking, quoting Daniel 12:1 .... For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Then Christ updated Daniel's prophecy in verse 20.
20 AND except that the LORD had shortened those days (of Daniel) no flesh should be saved: BUT for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He has shortened the days.
The rapture doctrine ignores 99.9% of the WORD and totally distorts what Paul was teaching. No where does Paul, or Christ state the laws of gravity will be stayed, ended, or a miracle escape. Flesh simply is not going to get 'caught up' any time.
You are jumping around on the discussion here. You suggested that Rapturists might see the need to insert seven years after the 6th Trumpet. Balderdash.
You suggest with this post that the topic was the AntiChrist.
>>There is absolutely no ‘good’ reason why you or any other student of the WORD to not know who the anti-Christ literally is.<<
Why not.? Paul says we’re not going to know for a while in 2 Thess 2:7 but the one who now holds it (AntiChrist) back willl continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
Now about Daniel’s prophecy... (Great!)
Do you not think Christ knew what Daniel penned? (Yes)How about, Mark 13:19? Christ speaking, quoting Daniel 12:1 .... For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. (And . . .??? How does this modify or negate Daniel’s prophecy? The time of “Jacob’s trouble” was a well-established doctrine actually predating Christ 500 years —coming from Jeremiah 49.
>>For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.<< Go on . . .
>>BUT for the elect’s sake, whom He hath chosen, He has shortened the days.<<
The elect are the Jewish remnant which had fled Jerusalem at the Abomination of Desolation. They have been avoiding the AntiChrist since the middle of the Tribulation.
So what is your point????
