      Things to happen in the middle of the 70th week
Premise1: By translating 'half' of the week as 'for half', it is assumed that the great tribulation begins with the 70th week. If the 'half' of the week is viewd as 'at half point', it would be a view that the great tribulation would begin around the end of the 1st half of the 70th week, not around the beginning of the 1st half of the 70th week. If we view that the great tribulation will begin around the end of the 1st half of the 70th week, we can think that all subsequent processes will be pushed back by 1260 days. Because even if the times change, the order in which events occur does not change.
Premise2: We assume that the great tribulation begins at the same time as the son of destruction sits in the temple building. In other words, we assume that the mark of the beast666 is enforced as the son of destruction sits in the temple building. Put differently, we do not see the event of the son of destruction sitting in the temple building and the great tribulation forcing the mark of the beast666 as separate events.
Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.
Dan9:27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'[JPS]
   At the beginning of the 1st half of the 70th week, the sacrifice and the offering are ceased and on the wing of abominations comes one who makes desolate. This one who makes desolate on the wing of abominations can also be called the abomination of desolation or the son of destruction. When this son of destruction sits in the temple building[1], the great tribulation that has never been seen since the creation of the world, occurs.[2] Just before the beginning of the 7 plagues of the great tribulation, the 7th trumpet is sounded, the 1st resurrection takes place, and the 7 plagues of wrath are poured out on those who make desolate. (There may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'with' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'for half'.[3] And there may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'in' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'in the middle'.)
Dan.12:11 From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
Dan.12:12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
   During the half of the 70th week after the abomination of desolation is established, the sacrifice and the offering will be ceased. In other words, as the 1st half of the 70th week begins, the sacrifice and the offering will be ceased. 1290 days will pass after that. Blessed are those who keep waiting and attain to the 1355 days. When a year is converted into 360 days[4], 1 week is 7 years, so half of 7 years is 1260 days. 1290 days are full after half of the 70th week has passed and 30 more days have passed. Add 45 days to that to fill 1335 days.
   Blessed are those who keep waiting and attain to the 1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building. In other words, blessed are those who wait 75 more days after the 1260 days of the 1st half of the 70th week are over and reach 1335 days. Because then there will be the 1st resurrection. 1335 days since the beginning of the 70th week is about half the week. I believe that the event that God may recognize as a blessing around the half point of the 70th week, may be the 1st resurrection. Perhaps 75 days after the beginning of the 2nd half of the 70th week, the martyr witnesses may be resurrected or transformed. After catching the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses into the air, the LORD Jesus will pour out 7 plagues on the earth.
   After the pouring of the 7 plagues, the scarlet beast burns the Babylon the great city, the prostitute who controlled the scarlet beast, and rules the earth directly.[5] After that, the Faithful and True comes even to the earth on a white horse to judge with justice[6], and the heavenly army, clothed in fine linen white and clean, follows Him.[7] The King of kings throws the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire[8] and imprisons Satan in the abyss.[9] After that, The Son establishes the new heaven and the new earth, and the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven.[10] The wedding will probably take place at this time.
   If worship of the beast was forced for 1260+75 days of the 1st half of the 70th week, [1st resurrection[11] + 7 plagues[12] + destruction of the prostitute[13] + judgment against the beasts[14] + imprisoning Satan[15] (+ wedding feast[16])] will take place for 1260-75 days of the 2nd half of the 70th week. I don't know how long the 7 plagues will be poured out, but the 7 plagues will probably not exceed 1260 days of the 2nd half of the 70th week. This is because [destruction of the prostitute + judgment against the beasts + imprisoning Satan] will have to be done within the 2nd half of the 70th week.
Matt.24:15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
   The event in which the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place, occurs at the beginning of the 70th week.[17] In other words, when the son of destruction sits in the temple building[18], the 70th week begins and the great tribulation occurs. For the 1st half of the 70th week, the beast forces worship[19] and the 2 witnesses smash the armies of the beast.[20] At the end of the 1st half of the 70th week, the son of destruction overcomes and kills the 2 witnesses.[21] And just before the beginning of the 7 plagues of the great tribulation, the 1st resurrection takes place.[22]
   In order for the abomination of desolation to stand in the holy place, the holy place that does not exist in 2022, must be built. In order for the sacrifice and the offering to be ceased, the sacrifice that is not offered now in 2022, must be offered. Holy place and sacrifice are both words related to the temple building.    
   After Pentecost when God the Holy Spirit came upon the saints, the saints are the temple.[23] On the new covenant[24] made with the blood of the LORD Jesus[25], God the Holy Spirit came and became the new covenant.[26] In a practical sense, the saints are the temple, and the sacrifices offered through God the Holy Spirit by the blood of the LORD Jesus, are the actual sacrifices. However, if we view the saints as the temple and the sacrifices as the new covenant, this means that the abomination of desolation will be established on the saints, and the sacrifices offered by the saints through God the Holy Spirit will be ceased. From a didactic point of view, it can be seen as such, but from a prophetic point of view, it must be seen in a literal sense, such as the prophecy of the 70-weeks[27] or the calculation of the date of the 70th week. In a prophetic sense, the temple here refers to the temple building, and the sacrifice here refers to the animal sacrifice. It means that the 70th week will begin as the son of desolation sits in the temple building, and the animal sacrifices at the temple building will be ceased. As of 2022, there is no temple building in Israel and no animal sacrifices are offered, but just before the beginning of the 70th week, the temple building will have been built and animal sacrifices will be being offered.
   For 1260 days of the 1st half of the 70th week, that is, for 42 months, 1 time times and a half, 3 years and 6 months[28], the son of destruction sits in the temple building[29], calls himself God[30] and forces people to worship him.[31] (Even before that, he had been rattling blasphemous words, but the period when he sits in the temple building is for the 1st half of the 70th week.[32]) In the meantime, the 2 witnesses[33], the 144000[34] firstfruits who are sealed[35], prophesy[36] the eternal gospel.[37] (The eternal gospel may not necessarily be proclaimed only by the 144000. Those who believe in the eternal gospel may also participate in the proclamation.[38]) This is the great tribulation that the mark of the beast666 is enforced, and it is the tribulation that has not been seen since the creation of the world.[39] Then, around the time when the 2 witnesses finish their testimony, that is, around the end of the 1st half of the 70th week, the beast that came up from the abyss[40] overcomes[41] and kills the 2 witnesses.[42]
   Satan will try to deceive[43] even the elect.[44] Many will be deceived, but there will be no betrayal against God by the appointed number of sealed witnesses to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[45] Because the great tribulation is so severe, God cuts those days short.[46] When the great tribulation, unprecedented since the creation of the world, reaches its climax[47], the last trumpet[48], the 7th trumpet, is sounded and the 1st resurrection takes place.[49]
   1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building, there will be a blessing, that is, the 1st resurrection. This means that the days of the great tribulation are set at a maximum of 1335 days. But what does it mean that the days of the great tribulation will be cut short?[50] Does this mean that the period of the great tribulation will be cut short from 1335 days to 1290 days? Or does it mean 1335 days because it was cut short? Did God say that the catching up into the air before pouring out the 7 plgues, as cutting short the days of the great tribulation? (I view what will happen 1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building, as the 1st resurrection.) Anyway, although the great tribulation is unprecedented since the creation of the world, it cannot be compared to the 7 plagues. The reason that the great tribulation is the most severe tribulation for the saints, is that the saints do not suffer the 7 plagues. Revelation 13 is the great tribulation, and Revelation 16 is the 7 plagues. Compare. You will find out which is more terrifying. I view the 7 plagues as part of the great tribulation as well.
   The time when the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place, that is, the time when the son of destruction sits in the temple building, is about the beginning of the 70th week. The Babylon prostitute, the son of destruction, will rule the scarlet beast for 42 months, so the period of the great tribulation will be about 42 months, 1260 days. The period of the great tribulation will not exceed 1335 days, as God said that those who reach 1335 days after the son of destruction sits in the temple building, will be blessed. In any case, the time of the great tribulation which has not been seen since the creation of the world, is after many tribulations have already passed.[51] Even if we do not think about the previous seals, it is at least after the tribulations from the 1st to the 6th trumpet have passed. This means that the great tribulation that must be cut short will not be long, since even the elect will not be able to endure it, but it does not mean that the tribulation itself will not be long.
Matt.24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Matt.24:17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.
Matt.24:18 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
   There are only two worlds, Babylon and Judea. Babylon is a realm oppressed by Satan, and Judea is a realm ruled by the people of God. Until the abomination of desolation stood in the holy place, God's people could still serve God in Judea.[52] But when the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place, even that Judea will be completely taken over by the Babylon, so there will be only Babylon left in the world. Until Babylon took full control of the world, the attack could not be concentrated on the saints, because the forces against the Babylon still remained.[53] However, after the Babylon takes over the whole world and is strengthened as Babylon the great, all attacks will be concentrated on the saints for 42 months.[54] Therefore, God's people must flee to the mountains.
   The mountain is the place where God proclaims His Word[55], usually referring to Mount Zion[56] which is Jerusalem.[57] Sometimes it refers to places where idols are worshiped[58], but God probably didn't tell us to flee to places of idolatry. Since it is a mountain of refuge here[59], it is probably the place where God proclaims His Word.[60] Since God told us to flee to the mountains of Judea[61] where the temple was built, this mountain would not be Jerusalem in the Middle East.
   During the great tribulation period when the beast worship is enforced, the 2 witnesses warn of beast worship by smashing the armies of the beast.[62] It means that even for the 42 months that the Babylon prostitute takes control of the entire world through the scarlet beast, there will be a realm of God that can stop the armies of the beast. Therefore, there may be an opinion that the place where the 2 witnesses are located is the mountains. Either way, for the 1260 days that the beast worship is enforced, the true church flies into the wilderness to her place to be nourished.[63] If we flee to survive in the great tribulation, there will be none other than the place in the wilderness her place, so the mountains the LORD Jesus said to flee to, must mean the place in the wilderness her place, that is, the prepared place.[64] And since there will be only 2 witnesses who have the fighting power to smash the armies of the beast during the great tribulation, although it is not necessarily the place where there are 2 witnesses, it may be places that the 2 witnesses can protect the saints in the places.
   To escape from the destruction of Sodom, Lot had to flee to the mountains.[65] But Lot delayed even leaving Sodom, and the angels had to seize Lot's family and bring them out of the city.[66] I see that the brimstone rain pouring down on Sodom means the 7 plagues, and the attacks of the wicked focused on Lot mean the great tribulation caused by the son of destruction.[67] Just as the brimstone and fire did not fall on Sodom until Lot fled to the mountains, the 7 plagues will not fall on the earth until the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed.[68] The angels seized the hands of Lot's family who were delayed, and brought them out of Sodom. The Sodomites died from the brimstone and fire plague, but Lot escaped the brimstone and fire plague. This event in which Lot escaped from the brimstone and fire tribulation may be viewed as an event in which the days of tribulation are cut short for the sake of the elect.
   I view Lot as representing different kinds of people. Like Lot who remained in Sodom, there will be saints who will die in the tribulation while rejecting the mark of the beast666 in Sodom during the great tribulation period.[69] Also, like Lot who fled to the mountain, there will be some saints who flee to the mountains, the prepared place, during the great tribulation period.[70] The saints who died after rejecting the mark of the beast666 or the saints who survived by fleeing to the mountains, will all be caught up into the air[71] through the 1st resurrection.[72] And just as rain of brimstone fell on Sodom, the 7 plagues will be poured out on the earth.
   As Lot in Sodom had to flee to the mountains, so those in Judea must flee to the mountains. In the era of the reign of the beast, Judea will already become Sodom[73], because the son of destruction will talk nonsense claiming the temple building in Jerusalem as his house. (There may be an opinion that only those who are separated from Babylon and reside in the true Judea[74], the true Jerusalem[75], the city of God, can escape to the mountains.) Babylon at this time will soon be destroyed by the 7 plagues.[76] Only after leaving Babylon will we be able to escape to the mountains. Only the saints who come out of Babylon and refuse to worship the beast[77] will be able to flee into the wilderness to their place.
Matt.24:19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
Matt.24:20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
   Lot's wife looked back.[78] These days will become winters and sabbaths[79] for infants[80] who cannot focus[81] on prayers[82] and their missions.[83]
Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
Matt.24:22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
   God will cut short these great tribulation days for the sake of the elect, because no one will pass through this great tribulation as it is. There may be views that the days of the great tribulation will be shortened, mean that the elect will avoid the 7 plagues or that God will resurrect or transform the elect earlier than the appointed time. Either way, the elect will have to endure 42 months of the beast reign, and they will surely escape the 7 plagues. Since the beast worshipers will never escape the 7 plagues[84], it would have nothing to do with the beast worshipers to cut days short.
Matt.24:23 "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it.
Matt.24:24 For there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
   In the time of the great tribulation when the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place, the worship of the beast will be enforced. In the 42 months of the 1st half of the 70th week, there will be great signs and wonders, so as to mislead.[85] Many will worship the beast and receive its mark.
Matt.24:25 "Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Matt.24:26 If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' don't believe it.
Matt.24:27 For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matt.24:28 For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together.
Matt.24:29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
Matt.24:30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
   The LORD Jesus will come after the great tribulation that has not been seen since the creation of the world.[86] The LORD Jesus must come after 1260 days of the 1st half of the 70th week have passed. The LORD Jesus will come after 42 months of the reign of the beast. But at this time He will not yet come down even to the earth to judge. Rather, He will resurrect or transform the martyr witnesses[87] and catch them up into the air.[88] After that, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth.[89] Only after the 7 plagues have been poured out will the LORD Jesus lead an army in fine linen and will come even to the earth to judge the transgressors.[90]
Matt.24:31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
   The LORD Jesus will resurrect or transform the martyr witnesses and catch them up into the air prior to His return to the earth.
2Thess.2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
2Thess.2:4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
   After deception and falling away, the son of destruction is revealed. After deception and falling away, the son of destruction sits in the temple building. This son of destruction is the abomination of desolation. The son of destruction is a man of sin. Sin is lawlessness, and lawlessness is breaking the commandments.[91] The son of destruction is the one who does not acknowledge the commandments[92], and he is a blasphemer who claims himself to be God.[93]
   The 70th week begins with the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.[94] The great tribulation begins when the son of destruction sits in the temple building.[95] The son of destruction will claim himself to be God and force worship for 42 months. This means that the great tribulation will last for 42 months. Also in the past, the Babylon prostitute claimed herself to be God.[96]
   The son of destruction is, in other words, the beast that came up out of the sea.[97] More precisely, the prostitute riding on the scarlet beast.[98] (man of sin = son of destruction = abomination of desolation = prostitute riding the scarlet beast = beast from the sea) The scarlet beast rising from the sea symbolizes the superpower that rules the world[99], and the prostitute riding on the scarlet beast symbolizes the Babylon papacy which took over the superpower.[100] The pope prostitute notorious for religion uses the superpower notorious for politics to force worship for 42 months.
   The beast that comes up from the sea speaks great things and blasphemy and persecutes the saints for the 1st half of the 70th week, that is, for 42 months.[101] The mouth speaking great things and blasphemy may be the word claiming himself to be God[102] and the word claiming to have the power to forgive sins.[103] The beast that comes up out of the sea, the son of destruction, claims himself to be God for the 1st half of the 70th week causing the great tribulation, and then kills the 2 witnesses by the half point of the 70th week.[104] (I view that the 2 witnesses represent the 144000 firstfruits. It is unlikely that all the 144000 will be killed and then be resurrected again. There will be some who will be transformed.)
Rev.13:4 They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.
Rev.13:6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
Rev.13:7 It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
Rev.13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
   The period for the beast to speak great things and blasphemy is 42 months. If it were 42 months, it would be the 1st half of the 70th week or the 2nd half of the 70th week.[105] Considering that the great tribulation occurs as the son of destruction sits in the temple building and the 1st resurrection occurs at the climax of the great tribulation[106], the 42 months in which the persecution of the beast takes place would be the 1st half of the 70th week. The 7 plagues are part of the great tribulation as well. Although the 7 plagues are the most severe tribulation, they are not a great tribulation for the saints because the saints do not suffer the 7 plagues.
Dan.7:25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
Dan.7:26 But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
Dan.7:27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole the sky, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
   To change the times and the law means to change the times and the law set by God. There would be no need to even think about the times and the law that have nothing to do with God. The times set by God and the law set by God are the 10 commandments. What Satan wants to change is the 10 commandments. The purpose of Satan to deceive people with beasts so that they cannot worship only God is to change the 10 commandments. Satan is using the means of the mark of the beast666 to change the 10 commandments. The mark of the beast666 is given to those who worship the image of the beast.[107] Those who do not truly worship God will eventually worship the beast[108] for fear of death.[109] Just as eating the forbidden fruit was a sign of disobedience to God, receiving the mark of the beast666 is also the sign of rebellion against God. Just as Adam could not reject the forbidden fruit because he loved Eve more than God, so those who do not truly worship God will never be able to reject the mark of the beast666. Those who do not worship only God will worship the beast, and those who worship the beast will surely receive the mark of the beast666.

[5] Rev.17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

[19] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

[20] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[21] Rev.11:7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

[22] Rev.11:10 Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

[23] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

[24] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[25] Heb.9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

[26] Heb.10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then, "I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more." Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

[27] Dan.9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

[28] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

[29] 2Thess.2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

[30] John10:36 Do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

[31] Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky on the earth in the sight of men. He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given to him to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed.

[32] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

[33] Zech.4:12 I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?" He answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord." Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

[34] Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

[35] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

[36] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

[37] Rev.14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

[38] Zech.12:6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah. In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

[39] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

[40] Rev.17:7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see that the beast was, and is not, and will pe present.

[41] Rev.11:7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

[42] Rev.11:8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

[43] Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky on the earth in the sight of men.

[44] Matt.24:4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.

[45] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[46] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

[47] Matt.24:29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

[48] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

[49] Rev.11:12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them. In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly. The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

[50] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

[51] Matt.24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.

[52] Rev.8:7 The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown on the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood, and one third of the creatures which were in the sea died, those who had life. One third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters. The name of the star is called "Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn't shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.

[53] Rev.9:12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this. The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind.

[54] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven. It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

[55] Is.2:3 Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

[56] Joel2:31 The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved; For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, As Yahweh has said, And among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.

[57] 2Kin.19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape: the zeal of Yahweh shall perform this.

[58] 2Chr.28:2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel. He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

[59] Is.31:4 For thus says Yahweh to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds are called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Yahweh of Hosts come down to fight on Mount Zion, and on the hill of it. As birds hovering, so will Yahweh of Hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it].

[60] Ps.121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.

[61] Matt.24:15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

[62] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

[63] Rev.12:14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

[64] Rev.12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

[65] Gen.19:17 It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, neither stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed!"

[66] Gen.19:15 When the morning arose, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city." But he lingered; and the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

[67] Gen.19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them." Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him. He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly. See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and do you to them as is good in your eyes. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof." They said, "Stand back!" They said, "This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.

[68] Gen.19:20 See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn't it a little one?), and my soul will live." He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

[69] Rev.13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on their right hand, or on their forehead;

[70] Luke21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Don't let those who are in the country enter therein.

[71] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[72] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.

[73] Rev.11:8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

[74] Gal.4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

[75] Zech.8:3 Thus says Yahweh: "I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of Yahweh of Hosts, 'The Holy Mountain.'"

[76] Rev.18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come forth, my people, out of her, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues, for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

[77] Rev.14:8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality." Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

[78] Gen.19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

[79] John9:4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

  Eccles.9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

[80] Heb.5:13 For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby. But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

[81] 1John2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

[82] Acts10:9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

[83] Matt.21:28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.' He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said likewise. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go.

[84] Rev.15:1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.

  Rev.16:10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They didn't repent of their works.

[85] Rev.13:12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky on the earth in the sight of men. He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given to him to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

[86] Dan.12:1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

[87] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

  Rev.11:15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

[88] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[89] Rev.11:19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

  Rev.15:5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts. One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

[90] Rev.19:14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen. Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

[91] 1John3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

[92] Dan.7:25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

[93] John10:33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

[94] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[95] Matt.24:15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

  Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

[96] Dan.7:25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

[97] Rev.13:4 They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.

[98] Rev.17:3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

[99] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

  Dan.7:3 Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I saw until the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's heart was given to it. Behold, another animal, a second, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I saw, and, behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the animal had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.

[100] Rev.17:18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."

[101] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

  Dan.7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

[102] John10:33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

[103] Luke5:21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

[104] Rev.11:7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

[105] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[106] Dan.12:1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

[107] Rev.13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on their right hand, or on their forehead; and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

[108] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

[109] Matt.10:37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
