>>so a rapture before the second 3.5 yrs might be considered probable.<<

Which would make it a knowable day since the number of days from the signing of the peace treaty are numbered exactly. The only time "no one knows the day or the hour" is prior to that peace treaty signing.

While something may be probable, that something doesn’t make it certain or knowable. He said his coming would not be knowable, even if it occurs before OR after the peace treaty! Christ always said things or did things that people would not always expect, yet when checked...did fulfill scripture(but not in ways we “experts”/s might have expected). He comes as a thief...remember?! Like Nineveh, Christ still wants to save souls...so should he tarry a few extra milli”seconds” of eternity,it doesn’t mean he won’t eventually carry out his plans!

We can only know the nearness of his coming, the “season” of it...that’s the best we have been given!

Another point....a lot of bad things are happening all in the space of the “pre-7 years era”, then the 7 years minus whatever shortening of time God has allowed. Events happening right on top of each other... trumpet blows, vials poured, bowls poured...it’s not just 1 event then a period of time passes...it’s more like a set of dominoes set up and turned over setting up a lot of other dominoes to tumble all against each other until they are all down.Bip....bip...bip bip.bip bip bip bip bip bip... Christ steps upon the Mount of Olives and Games over!

Some events will seem to over lap in the rapidity of the sequence of events all occurring...like a coin spiraling faster and faster in one of those funnel set ups in a dept. store that they use to collect donations in. The Rapture will most like occur at somepoint in the midst of all that.

Whether at the end of the “pre7 years era”, during the 7 years or post...we don’t really know for certain...but Christ did speak of the season that it should occur and that we were to “lift up our heads for our salvation draws nigh”...that’s best we have been given!

So ironically... for certain we can say yes...the rapture will occur, that part is knowable by faith and conviction. The dead in Christ will rise and those alive in Christ will rise to meet him. The speculation about the timing is still that...speculation. Will it happen?...yes!
