The purpose of this study is to attempt to determine what Time-Frame will define what is called the Tribulation Period of the Bible. One is convinced that the Chapters beyond 4 in the Book of Revelation is what contextually will be defined as that Period of Tribulation. Whose? Israel’s And that these Time Specific Events are what will constitute Daniel’s Last Sabbath Week of Year, i.e. the 7-Year Tribulation. It included the ‘Time of Jacob’s Trouble which will be the 2nd Half of the 2520 Day Count.

1. One is assuming a Literal Interpretation of the Bible unless otherwise noted. As the Late Chuck Missler taught, consider the Context of a Passage to be taken literal unless the Context is said to be Metaphorical in Nature, within the Passage. It is a General Rule of Hermeneutics, traditionally.
2. So, if that be the case, then everything in Revelation or the Bible is Figurative. This is precisely the Preterist View of Scripture, especially Prophecy and the Book of Revelation. In the case of the 1st Seal, it is a Man that is identified with certain Qualities of making Peace through War, for example. Yes, there are Metaphorical Aspects of his Character like having only a Bow, a Stephanus Crown, et. But later on, it is revealed that other Men, 3 in fact that comprise the 10 Toe World Confederation attempt to depose this Man, etc.
3. Yes, the 4 Horsemen are Metaphors but correspond to actual Time-Specific and Occurrences. This is what Jesus essentially described, the 4 Seals to be broken in the End of Days. It is to be pegged to Daniel and at a Mid-Point, not with the Initiation of the Church Age. This is what Jesus stated that there would be Deception, War, Famine, Plagues, and Death. Is the Death of Billions and Hyper-Inflation, then, to be Figurative? It has to be followed if its Inception is viewed as that. This is one’s Point of View, and just Speculative, so not a Hill do Die on, as they say.
4. Yes, the Spirit of AntiChrist had and has already been an Issue. But note, that if it be the case and it is, then there would be no need for the 1st Seal to reveal what or whom has already been in existence, even Metaphorically.

Moreover, one is convinced that Breaking of the Seals that initiates the Tribulation Period are opened by Jesus in Heaven. This occurs once the Bride sits in that Judicial Session, as the Euphemism for the 24 Elders that surrounds the Throne of the Lion of Judah, etc. She is essentially the Witness to what one is convinced the Seals start the Wrath of the Lamb, all-inclusive. Thus, as one is Pre-Tribulation Rapture specific, the Bride of Christ cannot step-over 1 Day into the Tribulation Period of Daniel’s 70th Week.
If Prophecy is Pattern
Time-Frame that pertains solely to Israel for ‘Rent’ owed YHVH pertaining to the Promised Land, etc. Thus, the issue is then, when will the Rapture occur and when will the Tribulation Period start? One will provide some Perspective and Reference to what one thinks is the Key to really understanding the Tribulation Period. It is very important to comprehend as it will avoid Confusing what pertains to Israel and what pertains to Israel. The Key is the Olivet Discourse.
Further, the Context is what is defined by the Prophecy of Daniel. And here is the Evidence how it solely pertains to Israel and not the Church. Consider the Tenets of the 70 Year Prophecy. It is specific to ‘Your People’. What People is that? It is the People of Daniel, the Jews, etc. Thus, the 70 Year Prophecy is reflective of the 7-Branch Menorah Typology. Here is Daniel 9:24-25.
70 Weeks are decreed:
1-for your people and your holy city
2-to stop their transgression,
3-to put an end to sin,
4-to make atonement for iniquity,
5-to bring in everlasting righteousness,
6-to seal up vision and prophecy, and
7-to anoint the Most Holy Place.
Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks. It will be rebuilt with Streets and a Trench, but in Times of Distress. What part of this concerns the Church Age? The 2 Determining Factors that outline the Context was when the Age is to End and when is Jesus to Return. Thus, the Context is given by Jesus in that Answer to the 2 Questions is pegged to Daniel’s Abomination of Desolation Event.
It will not be figurative, but a concrete Event at a particular Place and Time. One rather sees the Sequential Destruction and Restoration of the 3 Main Components of the Prophecy: The Land, the City and the Temple. They were destroyed in that order, starting with the Temple, the City and then the Promised Land. And one’s Theory is that before Jesus can return, these 3 Elements or Factors have to be in place as they were at Jesus’ 1st Coming.
DESTROYED
1 - Temple
2 - City
3 - Promised Land
RECONSTITUTED
3 - Promised Land
2 - City
1 - Temple
Tribulation Period Timeline – 2 Possible Scenarios?
That is when the Remnant Jews at that Time and Place, Judea and Samaria are to physically flee to the Wilderness, etc. And to that effect, YHVH has seen that the Restoration, in that precise order of Destruction, has now been Reconstituted, starting with the Promised Land, then the City and finally what will be the 3rd Temple.
This, obviously in one’s Estimation, occurs after the Rapture of the Bride of Christ that concludes the ~2000 Year or 2 Day Pentecostal Intermission. Once the Bride of Christ is removed from the Wrath of the Lamb that is to come, the Seals will befall on Israel, the World and Lucifer as the all-inclusive Judgment owed, etc. The purpose of this illustration is to show the possible Timeline of the Biblical Tribulation Period of 7-Years. It is from the Fall of 2025 to the Fall of 2032. There are 2 Main Scenarios.
If such Scenarios are plausible, then it means that the Rapture could occur before the End of 2025, if one is Pre-Trib. One is convinced that the Daily Sacrifice offering is what initiates the 1260 +1260 Day Segments that make up the 7-Year Sabbatical Cycle or Daniel’s Week of Years. One is also convinced that the ‘Confirming of the Covenant’ with the L’Rabbim is the Law of Moses. In 2 prior Temple Dedications, that of Solomon and Ezra, the Reading took place.
SCENARIO 1
SHEMINI ATZERET
Tribulation Starts with Temple Dedication and Daily Sacrifices? On October 13, 2025
+1260 Days
NISSAN 10
Daily Sacrifices ceases in the Midst? On March 26, 2029
+1260 Days
ROSH HASHANAH
Return of Jesus? On September 6, 2032
_______________________
SCENARIO 2
SABBATH OF BEGINNINGS
Tribulation Starts? On October 18, 2025
+1260 Days
PASSOVER
Daily Sacrifices ceases in the Midst? On March 31/April 1, 2029
+1260 Days
SABBATH OF RETURN
2nd Coming of Jesus? On September 11, 2032
________________________
Perhaps this is what will transpire. If so, then the Timeframe of the Feasts of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah become extremely significant. Option 1 pivots on Nisan 10 in 2029. This Timeline is also based on one’s Notion that it is from 1952 that the 70 Year Start Date should be counted from. This is because it was the Year that corresponded to the Land Sabbaths that got Israel Ejected from the promised Land for not keeping the Land Sabbaths and letting it Rest, in the 1st Place.
SOME CALCULATIONS
1948 + 7 Years Pattern Israel took to clear Promised Land = 1955
1955 = 70 Year Prophetic Factor = 2025 + 7 Year 70th Week = 2032
1948 + Law of Trees (4th Year) = 1952 + 80 Years (Psalm 90) = 2032
32 AD Crucifixion + ‘2 Days’ (2000 Years) = 2032 - 7 Years -= 2025
1948 + 84 Year Anna Code = 2032- 7th Year Widowed = 2025
Consider that this 2025 Start Year would then have 2032, when the Tribulation Period Ends with Jesus’ Return. It would also Corroborate with the 32 AD Year as being the more Accurate Calculation of Jesus’ Death and the Start of the Church Age. So, why the Year 2025 is perhaps Significant is that it is derived from Subtracting the 7 Years from the Year 2032.
