    Just after the abomination of desolation, we have this event

    happening:

    Dan 12:1 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince whostandsguard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there

    will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a

    nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who

    is found written in the book, will be rescued.

    Dan 12:2 "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground willawake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and

    everlasting contempt.

    Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment

    was given to them. And Isaw the souls of those who had been

    beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the

    word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his

    image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on

    their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a

    thousand years.

    Rev 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until thethousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

    Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first

    resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but

    they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign withHim for a thousand years. Dan 12:2 "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to

    everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

    Some observations

    1. He who endures to the end shall be saved.

    We found the end does not come until after

    the Gospel is preached to the whole world

    we havent done this yet!

    2. The Christian will take the Gospel to the

    whole earth prior to the rapture.

    3. The AntiChrist will be revealed prior to the

    rapture.(this happens at the abomination)

    4.The fullness of the Gentiles will come in

    prior to the Rapture (this takes place after

    the abomination of desolation)

    5. The apostasy (a great falling away from

    the faith) will take place prior to the rapture

    -this will correspond with persecution.

    6. Jesus made a promise about His

    Mat 10:23 "But whenever they persecute

    you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say

    to you, you will not finish going through thecities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

    Remember He is not talking to Jews here He is talking

    to the Christian! The Jews will never be persecuted! They

    will be protected in the wilderness!

    7. Based on that last verse, the time of persecution will be

    very short. So when intense global persecution ofChristians starts to the Rapture of the Christian will be a

    relatively short period of time!

    -Global persecution of Christians will take place prior to the

    rapture.

    8. Only those with extra oil, ready to wait until the midnight

    hour will make it. Those who thought the Bridegroom

    would come earlier were not ready to endure to the end.
