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.

This is when Israel is taken to the wilderness and protected for 3.5
years. It is also when the Church, the male child is caught up
raptured!
Rev 12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule
all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to
God and to His throne.
Rev 12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *hada place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for
one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Rev 2:25 'Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.
Rev 2:26 'He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO
HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;

There are now other resurrections!

multitude is heaven.Revelation 7:3-4 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea
or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our
God on their foreheads." (4) And I heard the number of

thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

During the intense persecution of beleivers, the gospel will be
preached to the whole earth!
Matthew 24:14-19 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will
come.
It is in the midst of the 5th seal that the antiChristwill go into the temple and proclaim himself god!
Matthew 24:(15) "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF
DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), (16) thenthose who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. (17) "Whoever is
on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his
house.
Dan 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 desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is
decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
Dan 11:36 "Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt
and magnify himselfabove 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 is revealed as the antiChrist
when he goes into the Jewish temple and
exalts himself above God.
This is called the abomination of desolation

This event happens just before the breaking

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

the rapture
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!

Some Observations continued
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.
