The Last 7 years and Great Tribulation



Daniel 9:27:  “27  Then he shall confirm a  covenant  with many for one week;  But in the middle of the week  He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.  And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,  Even until the consummation, which is determined,  Is poured out on the desolate." 

The Septuagint (Greek translation of OT used in NT):  "And one week shall establish the covenant with many:  and in the midsts of the week my sacrifice and drink offering shall be taken away:  and on the temple shall be the abomination of desolations; and at the end of the time an end shall be put to the desolation.”

Matthew 24:15: “Therefore when you see the `abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),…  21  "For then there will be  great   tribulation , such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.  22  "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.”

The taking away of sacrifices:  compare with Daniel 8:11,13 and 11:31; 12:11.  The similarity points to the same kind of thing and not the death of Christ for sins as anti-futurists believe.


How can there be a future  Jewish temple with sacrifices that results in an  “abomination?"   Same problem for “preterists” and “historicists” who place the abomination of desolation in AD 70, 40 years after the “Church” began!
