Why Satan's Future War on the Tribulation Altar?

Dear friends, as we look at our EXPONENTIALLY growing godless, lawless, and hopeless day, it isn't too hard for any to see that we are indeed at the threshold of the Rapture of the Body of Messiah and the HORRIFIC and EXPONENTIAL seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24, Rev. 6-19)! Beloved, before we start, be sure to check out the Bible links we have provided for you as you follow along in this study; for that indeed is our authority!

But rather, in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260 ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260-day ministry, which will be in Jerusalem!

Daniel 9:26-27 is very brief and simple in its wording, and yet so many prophetic teachers add so much filler and fluff to make it fit their theological "treaty" preference, etc., and when they do, the Two Witnesses of Revelation get totally neglected and put on the back burner to the prince of Daniel 9:26-27. Nowhere does it say that the prince breaks a treaty but rather that in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260-day ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it, my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260-day ministry, which will be in Jerusalem (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15, Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 11:7-12; 13). It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking; worship and the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers which will be pointing the nations of the world at that this time to ETERNAL SALVATION found ONLY in Yeshua, His shed blood; and His finished work (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:26, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 4:10)! This truth indeed my friends is a profound and a sound witness to the dispensational teaching of the Bible and to Almighty God's future plan for Israel! It is absolutely amazing to me, and yet no surprise, that the heart of Satan's war in the tribulation will be centered in the desolating of the altar of God, which points to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of Almighty God (i.e.; the Lord Jesus Christ) and His ETERNALLY finished work of ETERNAL salvation! Without an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION, there can be no ETERNAL redemption for Adam's fallen race and all of Israel's Divine promises. The Book of Revelation refers continually to Jesus as the Lamb and it states very clearly that Satan, the antichrist, and his 10 horns will make war with Him; who alone is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of God, the ETERNAL Savior, and PROPITIATION of this fallen and demonic world (Isa. 53; John 1:29;1 John 4:10; Rev. 5; 6:16; 12:11; 17:14; 21:27; 22:3). Satan's head was crushed at the cross and with Jesus' resurrection and Satan's immense rage for the Lamb will be on full display during this horrific time (Gen. 3:15-16; Rev. 17:14; Rev. 20:10). Satan's greatest war again is on the FINISHED work and shed blood of Jesus which totally redeems sinful slaves FOREVER from his fallen and darken concentration camp here in time (Eph. 2:1--14).

Once the Two Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this obstacle is "ceased" and removed out of the way, these demoniacs can violently and globally seek their delusion 666 "utopia" as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB!

Once the Two Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this altar obstacle "ceased" and removed out of the way, the beast will then set himself up as "god" in the Holy of holies and begin his desolation process (Dan. 7: 24-6; 9:27, 12:1-13; Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 11:7; 13); then will these remaining human demoniacs under the beast violently and globally pursue their delusion 666 "utopia"; as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB (Psalm 2; 110; Rom. 1:18-32; Rev. 13; 17:16-18; 19:19). The followers of Satan and his antichrist are now ready and willing to double down in the full light of Divine revelation and receive the antichrist's mark, which will make one ETERNALLY desolate (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 13; 14:9-11)! When the Two Witnesses are executed at the end of their 1260-day ministry by the antichrist/beast, and the world shall GREATLY rejoice (Rev. 11:7-12)! However, 3 1/2 days later, these two shall rise before all the world, verifying and guaranteeing to all that every word which proceeded out of their mouth will be fulfilled! In light of this, the world will, with full knowledge, receive the beast's mark as the ultimate act of ETERNAL defiance unto their ETERNAL DESOLATION (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:7-12; 13; 14:9-11)!

It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking: the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers, which will be pointing the nations of the world at this time to ETERNAL SALVATION in Yeshua and His finished work!

The prince/the Anti-Christ is very powerless in the first half of the tribulation period because the Two Witnesses of Revelation ABSOLUTELY dominate, and because of the EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC global Seal and Trumpet judgments the world is facing at this time (Rev. 6-11). The Two Witnesses have EXPONENTIAL Divine POWER over the whole earth and against their enemies, and again, the prince and his anti-Israeli "many/global confederacies" are absolutely powerless against them (Rev. 11:3-6).

However, it will be at the end of the Two Witnesses GLORIOUS ministry that the Anti-Christ will NOW absolutely dominate the rest of the tribulation period and the world; and what's left of it for 42 months until the Lamb's GLORIOUS return!

However, It will be at the end of the Two Witnesses GLORIOUS ministry that the Anti-Christ will NOW absolutely dominate the rest of the tribulation period and the world; and what's left of it for 42 months until the Lamb's GLORIOUS return (Gen. 3; Dan. 7:8; 8:23-25; 9:26-27; 11-13; 11:26-45; 24-25;12:1;7;11; Joel 1:15-16; Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Mark 13:14; Rev. 11:7-12; 12:7-17; 13; 14:9-12; 16:12-16; 17:10-18; 18:1-3; 19:11-21; 19:19-20). This is the GREAT EXPONENTIAL and HORRIFIC time period called: the GREAT Tribulation, Jacob's Trouble and the Day of the Lord (Jer. 30:6-7; Dan. 12:1;7; Zeph. 1:14-15; Matt. 24:21-22; Thess. 5:1-3; Rev. 12:7-17; 13)!

After the Rapture of the Church, Almighty God will again begin to move in the nation of Israel, His chosen people, and will seek to call them to repentance via the Two Witnesses of Revelation, for Messiah's return is very nigh and His ETERNAL Kingdom at hand!

The tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:1-3). However, when we look at Daniel 9:26; we see that some 2000 years earlier that Messiah would be cut off (crucified, but not for Himself (Isa. 53, John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10); and after that, the city and sanctuary were to be destroyed, which took place in 70 A.D. The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS propitiation and finished work of the Messiah put out of business the Temple and Altar; for Messiah fulfilled it perfectly (Matt.26:28; Luke 22:20; Mark 14:24; Rom. 10:2-4; 1 Cor. 11:25; Hebrew 5-10).

In the rejection of Messiah and His Kingdom offer, Almighty God stopped Israel's prophetic clock at 69 weeks or 483 years and then established His Divine mystery of the Church Age, made up of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua!

In the rejection of Messiah and His Kingdom offer, Almighty God stopped Israel's prophetic clock at 69 weeks or 483 years and then established His Divine mystery of the Church Age made up of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua (Dan. 9:24-27; Matt. 16:17-18; John 1:10-12; Acts 2; Rom. 7-8; Eph. 5:30-32, Col. 1:27). It will be after the Rapture of the Church, that Almighty God will again begin to move in the nation of Israel (His chosen people) via the Two Witnesses of Revelation, and will fulfill the 70th week of Daniel while seeking to call Israel and the entire world to Divine repentance (Rev. 11:3-7); for the risen Messiah's and ETERNAL King of Israel's return is very nigh and His Kingdom at hand! During this time, Almighty God will then go back to the Levitical sacrificial system to communicate and point to the finished work of the Messiah. This is why for the very reason that we see and read much information about the altar, the Temple, sacrifices, and oblations at this time (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:27;12:7;11; Joel 1:15-16; Zech. 2:10-14; Matt. 24:15; John 19:30; Rom. 10:2-4; Hebrews 5-10; 1 John 4:10; Rev. 11:1-3). The tribulation period is all about bringing Israel to repentance and being made ready to receive their Messiah and King at His coming (Matt. 6:10-13; 24; 25; Zech. 12:10-14; 14).

During this time, Almighty God will then go back to the Levitical sacrificial system to communicate and point to the finished work of the Messiah!

My beloved; This is absolutely why the tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan the Dragon's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:1-3).

The Tribulation altar will point back to the RIGHTEOUS Person and the finished work of redemption by the Messiah!

Firstly, the altar points to Messiah’s (The Lamb of God’s) finished work and propitiation which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation; and this is why He (Jesus Messiah) is known as the LAMB in the Book of Revelation (Lev. 17:11-14; Isa. 53; John 19:30; Rom. 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)! Secondly; Satan was ETERNALLY crushed and ETERNALLY defeated on Almighty God's altar and cross (Gen. 3:15; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:17-18; 20:10)!

Firstly, the altar points to Messiah’s (The Lamb of God’s) finished work and propitiation, which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation; and this is why He (Jesus Messiah) is known as the LAMB in the Book of Revelation!

Thirdly; Satan absolutely despises any work and promise of Almighty God and will with all his remaining rage and demonic being through his tangible host the antichrist with great fury seek to prevent Israel (and all nations) from coming to faith in Messiah; and will also seek to derail all of Almighty God's remaining promises for them in their ETERNAL Lamb and King (Dan. 9:24-27; 12:1-13; Zech. 13:8-9; 14:1-4; Rev. 12:7-17)! Lastly, Satan is on a total self-preservation mission and bent, knowing that his ETERNAL doom is very nigh and at hand (Rev. 12:7-17). All are expendable and all is on Satan's altar to preserve his demonic delusional dreams of ETERNAL rebellion against His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Isa 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:12-19; John 8:44; Rev. 12:12; 20:1-3; 20:10)! With the ETERNAL resurrection of Messiah, Satan was ETERNALLY defeated and nothing in all of ETERNITY can ever override and overturn that established ETERNAL ABSOLUTE and TRUTH (Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 13:8)!

Beloved, in the end, King Jesus wins BIG, EVERY single time; and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always!

Beloved, at the end of Satan and man's vain little tiny rebellion, King Jesus ETERNALLY WINS, and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always in that ETERNAL GLORIOUS TRUTH (Phil. 4:4)! In closing, do you personally know the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior? O, my dear friend, it is ALL about Jesus and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; Be sure that you personally know Jesus as the Scriptures so simply and clearly teach.

Ignorant fish, let us examine your claim through Scripture.

- The “seven-year tribulation” and pre-tribulation rapture are not taught in the Bible. Daniel 9:27 refers to the abomination in the temple and its desolation—fulfilled in the events leading to 70 AD (Matthew 24:15; Luke 21:20-24), within “this generation” (Matthew 24:34).

- Jesus places the gathering of the elect AFTER the tribulation: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days... they will see the Son of Man coming... and he will send out his angels... and they will gather his elect” (Matthew 24:29-31).

- Paul links our gathering to Christ with the open revelation of the man of lawlessness, not a secret removal before tribulation: “Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him... that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3).

- The rapture occurs at the LAST trumpet, when Christ descends visibly: “In a moment... at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

- Believers are not promised escape from tribulation but endurance through it: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33); “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22).

- Signs increase, yet no one knows the day or hour (Matthew 24:36; Acts 1:7). We are called to constant readiness and faithful stewardship until He comes (Matthew 24:42-51; Luke 12:35-40), not speculation about imminent escape. “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

We’ll have to agree to disagree;

Why some reform believers reject the rapture; which is the glorification of the Bride of Christ since Pentecost is because they don’t know who they are IN Christ;

That’s really the bottom line plus unbelief mixed with some biblical misunderstanding;

Learn who you are in Christ and you will understand

No offence;

“No; just any time; all things are moving and growing EXPONENTIALLY;”

As you may be aware, people having been making similar predictions —but with specific dates — for, literally, centuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_and_claims_for_the_Second_Coming#Past_predictions

All the predictions with specific dates ranging from A.D. 500 to A.D. 2025 have been wrong. You don’t give a date, so you can just go on believing that all these things are “about” to happen. AFAICT, there is no set of facts that could prove such a prediction to be wrong. It’s like the Marxist prediction that, as a matter of historical inevitability, capitalism will disappear. It’s always “about” to happen and you can never convince them that they’re wrong.

The “rapture” as a pre-tribulation glorification of the Bride separate from Christ’s visible return is not taught in Scripture. The gathering of believers is explicitly placed after the tribulation: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days... they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds... and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect” (Matthew 24:29-31).

The transformation and resurrection of believers occur at the last trumpet, when Christ descends: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed... at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command... and the dead in Christ will rise first”).

No passage promises the Church escape from tribulation. Instead, Jesus warns: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33), and the apostles affirm: “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22).

Our identity in Christ (Romans 8:1; Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossians 3:1-4) is secure, but it does not exempt us from enduring trials or change the clear order of events given by the Lord Himself. Let us hold fast to what is written, not add what is not: “No one knows the day or the hour” (Matthew 24:36), but we are called to “watch and pray” (Mark 13:33) and “be faithful unto death” (Revelation 2:10). Maranatha indeed—Come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20).
