 SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD OF DANIEL

This seven-year period is also known as Daniel's 70^th week, the time of Jacob's trouble, or the Tribulation Period.

This 7-year period of Daniel begins after the Antichrist signs a peace treaty or covenant with Israel guaranteeing its security. As we read the daily news Israel is getting closer and closer to signing a final peace treaty that may begin the end times and bring the Antichrist onto the world stage.

During these seven years many multitudes of people will find Christ. Unfortunately most of these new Christians will be persecuted, imprisoned, and tortured by the Antichrist and his new world government in a time known as the Great Tribulation. In addition, those that escape this persecution may perish during God's wrath which is unleashed during the second 3 and 1/2 years of this period during the Day of the Lord.

PEACE COVENANT- False Security of Israel

Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolation, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

• One week equals seven years in bible prophecy.
• Genesis 29:27-28 ²⁷"Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years." ²⁸Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

SEVEN SEALS

• These are the fulfillment of the signs of the end times given by Jesus.

First Seal - White Horseman of the Antichrist

• Other names in the Bible for the Antichrist: Beast, Little horn, Man of Sin, Prince who is to come, Wicked

Revelation 6:1-2 ¹Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." ²I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

• This is the Antichrist who impersonates Christ by riding a white horse as Jesus does at the second coming.

2 Thessalonians 2:3,6-8 ³Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the Day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. ⁶And you know what restrains him now, so that in this time he may be revealed. ⁷For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. ⁸And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

• The Antichrist is revealed after the church, in which dwells the Holy Spirit, has been removed by the rapture.

Daniel 9:26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

• The people of the Roman empire under general Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70. Therefore, the Antichrist will come from the reborn Roman empire (probably the European Community or some other nation that was part of the Roman empire).

Daniel 11:36 "Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done.

• The Antichrist claims he is God/Messiah and will persecute Christians until the Day of the Lord

How does the Antichrist Rise to Power

Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24 ⁷After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. ⁸I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. ²³"Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces. ²⁴The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.

• The fourth beast is the confederacy of former Roman empire countries. It consists of 10 nations led by kings or horns. After the 10 kings are in place the Antichrist or little horn takes over 3 of those nations and will lead the new Roman empire or fourth beast.
• The initial European Economic Community consisted of 10 nations.

False Prophet is Revealed

Revelation 11:11-15 ¹¹Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. ¹²He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. ¹³He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. ¹⁴And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. ¹⁵And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

• The false prophet performs great signs and miracles in the presence of the Antichrist causing the unbelieving people to further worship the beast and his idol. The false prophet also has great economic power and establishes the mark of the beast.

Second Seal - Red Horseman of War

Revelation 6:3-4 ³When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come." ⁴And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

• Peace is removed from the earth.
  

MARK OF THE BEAST (666)

Revelation 13:16-18 ¹⁶And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, ¹⁷and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. ¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

• To buy or sell (food, housing, car, job) the False Prophect will require each person to receive a mark on his forehead or right hand. No one knows what this mark may be. It is speculated that this could be a computer chip embedded under the skin that would contain a person's financial and personal records.

Third Seal - Black Horseman of Famine

Revelation 6:5-6 ⁵When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine."

• Food represented by wheat and barley cost more than a day's wages. While luxury goods such as oil and wine are still available to the rich.

Two Witnesses of God

Revelation 11:3-6 ³"And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." ⁴These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. ⁵And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. ⁶These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

• God's prophets speak against the wicked people of the earth and the Antichrist.
• The ministries of the two witnesses must begin in the first 3 and 1/2 years because they are killed 1260 days later during the second 3 and 1/2 years by the Antichrist.
• Most bible scholars feel that the two witnesses are Moses and Elijah as Moses also smited the Earth with plagues and Elijah had the power to shut heaven or cause a drought. Elijah was also predicted by Malachi before the Day of the Lord. Malachi 4:5-6 ⁵Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. ⁶And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers lest I come and smite the land with a curse.
