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!
Why the Altar Attack?
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). Firstly, the altar points to Messiah's finished work and propitiation which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation (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)! 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.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
Amen

The New Testament chapters were divinely inspired. Their being included in the New Testament is a human judgement - the Council of Laodicea. Revelations is written by John for Jews. It seems that little within it would be considered in any way Pauline.
Amen.
Yes
Sadly, today’s evangelical, A-Mil, reformed covenant crowd are less critical of those who say that the AD 70 destruction of the Temple (by the Roman Army) was the sign of the second Advent of Christ than they are of those who believe that Biblical prophecy should be an exact, literal description of future events, of which many, for that reason, are yet still future.
I have thus concluded that many who are, or who claim to be of the body of Christ based on promises in Scripture don’t really believe all of the Scriptures, rather only those parts that they think make themselves look smart. To think otherwise is to deny Luke 18:8 “I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
Jesus said it “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Matt 5:18
Key word “all”
I tend to think that the focus of the Prince of Darkness with regard to the tribulation temple will be to squash the Jews (and some gentiles) which will then be at long last getting back to the actual words of Scripture and application of same and not so much to hamper participation in temple rituals. Satan knows what many Christians today don’t either know or believe, that rituals, in themselves, don’t save.
It is well said that to today’s evangelicals, by calling someone a “fundamentalist” as a form of name calling, ignores the fact that what we consider a fundamentalist today would have been classified a regular Christian 150 years ago.
“Revelations is written by John for Jews” ????
Where is this stated and where is its exclusivity declared?
So what happens during the Tribulation and the end of Time has nothing to do with anyone but Jews????? Um, No. Or, John is only telling Jews this?? No.
” little within it would be considered in any way Pauline.” - what does this have to do with ANYTHING posted above? Non-sequitur.
I thought that stone piece in the UN chapel was just that, accordingg to various youtubers?
The New Testament is what it is because the early Christian church considered it inspired and apostolic. Nobody who canonized thought it was addressed to anyone except the Christian church. In fact, one of the principle arguments in favor of canonization was "this book is read in our churches during the liturgy".
If you mean it was addressed to Jewish Christians, okay. I'm not convinced of that, but okay.
Hardly a non-sequitur. Paul was appointed apostle to the Gentiles by Christ himself. He brought the word of the Triune God to them. John, as I stated, in both his Chapter and Revelation was writing to the Jewish community.
There are two aspects to Christianity. (1) The Old Testament/The first four books of the Gospel,the first part of Acts which are all devoted and directed to the Jewish Community. (2) The latter part of Acts, the Paullne epistles, and the latter epistles of Pete, which form the basis of the Christian religion in the Gentile world. John was addressing the former, not the latter in his Revelation.
Pauline.” - what does this have to do with ANYTHING
/\
Well,,, cuz preterists don’t care for Paul.
(Preterist definition is - one who holds that the prophecies in the Bible about the End Times have already been fulfilled.)
Anytime you see the term “ pauline” ignore those who use it imho.
Rev 1:4 - John to the seven
churches
which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Seems pretty clear that John
was
, at least,
writing to Christians
as well as Jews
since Jews don’t have “ churches”.
That’s true, John was given it not Pual, even though Paul talked about this time, John’s at the end of the Apostle tome of written Revelation.
Rev. 1:1-5
Uh...it’s “Revelation”....not plural.
Sounds like Marcionism to me. Which “Jewish Community” do you mean? Paul himself said that wall between believing Jews and believing Gentiles is broken down in Christ. Do you want to rebuild it?
Marcionism: “the doctrinal system of a sect of the second and third centuries a.d. accepting some parts of the New Testament but denying Christ’s corporality and humanity and condemning the Creator God of the Old Testament.” I am in agreement with none of the above. Nice try, keep trying.
Sorry - I’m confused. Let me re-ask so you understand why I’m asking - I see nothing in above OP about Pauline or not, Jews vs. Gentiles. I don’t read Revelation (of Jesus Christ) and say it doesn’t apply to me a Gentile or the entire world during the time prophesied.
So why did you make your point? is what I’m asking.
Jesus said it “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Matt 5:18
You say the key word is ‘all’.
I say it is the word ‘law’. Christ was the Messiah, the fulfillment of the law, and he was rejected by both the Jewish Sanhedrin and the Roman ruler. Paul revives Christianity by assuring Gentiles that Jewish law (circumcision, etc.,) is not relevant to them, but the love of Jesus is.
