You are correct. Those specifically-referenced events happen during the Great Tribulation.
These things may foreshadow them but they’re actually not them.
Nonetheless, the damage by current events will be quite real and in the case of Harvey, have already been deadly to a degree. Somebody I talk to online was having a party before the thing arrived, later it was water within 2 feet of their house. They’re still alive. I would have been leaving if possible but that’s me.
Here is a chart that matches up with everything said about it in the Bible. Get ready!
For example: Why did Jesus walk on the sea to catch up to his disciples? (Matthew 14:24) Just to show that He could? No! He did it to tell us that He was "the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river" (Daniel 12:08) This means that the key to understanding the end-times is in a proper dividing of Daniel 12:11-12.
Daniel 12
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what
shall be the end of these
things?”
9 And he said, “Go
your way, Daniel, for the words
are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 “Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
11 “And from the time
that the daily
sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up,
there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 “Blessed
is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “But you, go
your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
Nelson, Thomas. Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 875). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
The words in
italics were added by the translators, verse 11 reads: “And from the time the daily is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, one thousand two hundred and ninety days." So 1260+30 days after "the daily" is taken away, the anti-Christ will set up the abomination of desolation, and we know that that is 1260 from the start of Daniel's 70th week and 1260 days from the end.
So what is "the daily" that will be "taken away"? Well, it is certainly not the daily sacrifices that the Jews will present in the Third Temple, because that is what the anti-Christ will do at the midpoint. So who offers themselves as "living sacrifices" (Romans 12:1) and asks for "daily bread" (Matthew 6:11) but those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and LORD?
Luke 21:36 “Watch therefore, and
pray always that you may be counted worthy
to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Nelson, Thomas. Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
So, if I am still here in October, 2017, it will be because I was not "found worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass." How about you?
