According to Daniel 9, it is the 7 year agreement between Israel and the Anti-Christ that starts the Biblical Timeclock (or Tribulation Period). In the middle of the 7 year agreement, the Anti-Christ enters the Temple and proclaims himself as God. I would argue that a 7 year treaty has not been signed with Israel yet...
Agreed. Those events have not happened yet.
He confirms the covenant. Maybe his power is that of giving it a final stamp. Hard to say.
But I generally agree with that. That 7-year period which is generically known as the Tribulation, and which is broken in half, starting the 3 and 1/2 year Great Tribulation, has not started ....... yet.
But they are definitely coming.
Now a 7 year agreement does not have to be a great big production like Carter and Clinton displayed and then again it might be.
Whatever it is will have significant points that do not necessarily have to be advertised.
It can be rather something like the guy making an oath confirming support of the same blessing conferred on the nation of Israel.
The book of Rev. is symbolical and is best understood in that way. A symbol representing a larger idea.
To know the idea behind the symbol removes the mystery and affords a more detailed view as things take place.
