As I say, God's purpose to vindicate his holy name MUST be done in this age and on this old earth.
God will vindicate his name in his fire in indignation at his second coming in fire and final judgment (The End)

Can you point me to the passage where it says that the GT is 3-1/2 years?
The Great Tribulation starts when (The Beast) is given power for 42 months, and revealed to the world in Daniel's AOD "Future" 3.5 years

Revelation 13:5KJV
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

I'll answer your question with a question of my own. Do you know what abomination of desolation means? If you know what it means, you will know when, where and how it is being, has been, and will be fulfilled in this era known as the Gospel age as the Kingdom of God is being built through His Church on earth through "great tribulation".
Please Explain How Matthew 24:15 in Daniel's AOD "Has Been Fulfilled" As You Claim Above?

Matthew 24:15KJV
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

No. It didn't. When Jesus came he preached, "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand." The kingdom of God was "at hand" because the King had arrived. But the "Day of the Lord" is a different matter. The Day of the Lord is a time period when God will vindicate his reputation.

Yes, the Kingdom of God is at hand then and now, because Christ came with His Kingdom. It is near to all who hear His Gospel, and repent and believe. If the Day of the Lord is future only, why does Luke write in the Acts that Pentecost is fulfillment of the Day of the Lord the prophet Joel foretells would come in the last days?

Acts 2:16-21 (KJV) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (all of Joel 2)

Joel speaks not only of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon His servants, but also of what shall come to pass during this age Joel says is the Day of the Lord coming and being near at hand. We miss the coming day/age/era of Christ when we don't understand His Day came when God came to earth a man. Since the Day of the Lord came at Pentecost in these last days, the New Testament authors make it clear that His Day will have an end, or last day that they too write as the Day of the Lord.

Joel 2:1 (KJV) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

Joel 2:28-32 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

We've been living in the last days since the first advent of Christ. These last days will come to an end with the final coming of Christ in this time the prophets write as the Day of the Lord. What from the verses below has not been and is not being fulfilled in these last days we have been living in since the day of Pentecost and the Church came with power from above as the Holy Spirit has been liberally poured out upon His sevants?

Hebrews 1:2 (KJV) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Acts 2:17 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

2 Timothy 3:1 (KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

James 5:3 (KJV) Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

2 Peter 3:3 (KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

Revelation 13:5KJV

How do you know 42 months equates to 3.5 years? When did all that comes to pass recorded in the verses below begin and end? To definitively state 42 months equates to exactly 3.5 years you have to know exactly when this time begins and ends. And I don't believe you, I or anyone else knows this. Your doctrine is dependent upon guesswork!

Revelation 11:2 (KJV) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Revelation 13:5-8 (KJV) And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

"Once Again, Direct Questions"

1.) Do you believe Matthew 24:15 in Daniel's AOD has been fulfilled?

2.) If so, when and how?

Matthew 24:15KJV
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Let me know when you have understanding of exactly what the AOD is????

And you don't believe His name is being vindicated as His Kingdom continues to grow, and the gates of hell cannot prevent it?

Yes, I'm glad you understand the OT prophesy about Christ began to be fulfilled with the advent of Christ. Again, I agree, His Kingdom is not NOW of this world, and will not be of this world ever!

Daniel tells us that when Christ ascended to heaven after His resurrection, He was given a Kingdom. John tells us the holy city, new Jerusalem is now in heaven. Even though Scripture does not specifically say Christ rules as King from Jerusalem on earth, I believe the prophesy of Christ reigning from Jerusalem was fulfilled when Christ ascended to heaven.

Daniel 7:13-14 (KJV) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Revelation 21:2 (KJV) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Christ came to save His people, whether Jew or Gentile the whole "Israel of God" shall be saved. There is not one redemption plan for Israel of old, and another for Gentiles. There is only one Covenant of Redemption through Christ to all people, and today (this age) is the day/era to be saved. When Christ returns the mystery of God will be finished and the Kingdom complete, so no more will be saved in this imagined one thousand literal years the Premillennialists imagine.

Galatians 6:15-16 (KJV) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Disagree. Christ Jesus’ Kingdom “shall be “OF this World”.
“OF” this World, “IS” expressly, a reference to “MORTAL men STILL occupying THIS World.

Gods Tribulation, IS wholly Different From daily tribulations, of Evil spirits and Wicked men CAUSING tribulations against men.

Gods Tribulation, in a nutshell, IS punishments UPON this WHOLE world, expressly BECAUSE of a mans REJECTION of the Lord God.

Rom 1:
[18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Two major things are Happening DURING the end of days.....OF Gods Tribulation(S).

* Punishments AGAINST ungodliness
* Fulfillment’s of Gods PROMISE to SAVE ISRAEL (His People).

Ungodliness.......IS REJECTION of God Himself AND Christ the Lord Jesus.
Perhaps you have Noticed, the majority of ISRAEL (Tribes), reject Christ the Lord Jesus...ie The LAMB of God.

The Rejection OF The LAMB of God....BEGINS Gods Great Tribulation upon the Earth....called the Wrath of the Lamb. Rev 6:16

After THOSE DAYS (SEALS)of Gods WRATH, begins Gods ISREAL’S salvation plan AND at the same time the WRATH and anger of the Devil who is being REJECTED....(TRUMPS)... Rev 12:12
* THOSE DAYS....ARE the DIVISIONS.... Men turning to BELIEF, and WILLING to Physically bodily Die FOR THEIR Godly Christ BELIEF.....and some men WILLING to follow Satan, and KEEP their physical bodily LIFE...FOR A SHORT WHILE.


You can read and study Rev Chapters, 12, 13, 14...of WHAT powers Satan is given and HOW God is Saving ISRAEL.

Chapter 14: 13-14 Reveals the Son of Man in the air, sitting ON a Cloud of the Lower Heavens REAPING the Earth, of the Godly FROM the Ungodly.
REAPING IS the Son of Man “Separating” the Godly FROM the Ungodly.
The Godly have become Bodily Dead, via Satan’s works.
The Godly have become soul and spirit SAVED, via Christ Jesus’ works.

THEN WHO is left, bodily alive upon the face of the Earth? The Ungodly and a FEW believers (remnant), NOT killed by Satan.
Then DOES God sent His great WRATH, indignation, destruction, and death upon the Ungodly. (VIALS)

Satan and his angelic followers are removed from the face of the Earth (temporarily).
The Ungodly MORTAL followers of Satan are ALL killed, become bird food, rot, return to dust.
And ALL Surviving believing MORTALS, begin reestablishing cities, nations, kingdoms, kings, lands, borders, reproduction of generational offspring.

Jesus (the Word of God), returns to Earth WITH POWER (ie Christ IS the Power of God), and His saints, WITH Him.
Rev 20:2

Jesus claims His inherited LAND...(ie Abraham’s Promised Land to him and his Faithful Descendent's).
Jesus claims His THRONE...(in Jerusalem, king David’s everlasting Throne that God established, some 5+ thousand years ago.)

Jesus RULES the World...as KING of all “earthly mortal” kings.
YES, it IS THIS WORLD...(not a new world).
The CIRCUMSTANCES of THIS WORLD “HAS CHANGED”...NOT the World/Earth itself.
Mortal “unbelievers” Have been REMOVED / killed.
Satan and his following of demonic anti-God angels have been REMOVED from the face of the Earth.

For 1,000 Years Jesus IS the Earthly Spiritual KING of earthly mortal kings. Jesus IS the Earthly Spiritual LORD of earthly mortal lords.
There is peace and harmony between “mortal kingdoms”.
Men increase in wealth, power....and nothing NEW UNDER THE SUN...
For 1,000 Years mortal kings, die, are replaced. Some shall maintain their Belief and Rule their kingdom according to Gods Order and Way...Some will put more FAITH in their personal power, wealth and position and faultier.
(Nothing new.)

Ending the 1,000 Year reign, of Jesus, KING of mortal kings....
Satan is loosed, and allowed to AGAIN, deceive the “mortal nations/kingdoms”, with his cunning rhetoric. Some “mortal men” AGAIN will fall for Satan’s trickery, and wage WAR AGAINST Christ Jesus’ Kingdom...
By the WORD of the Lord mouth, they shall be Destroyed/killed.

So ALSO shall Satan, wage WAR AGAINST Holy Spiritual angels, and quickly be Defeated. This is the FINAL VICTORY of TRIUMPH of Good over Evil.
Forever Satan and all fallen angels are removed from the face of the Earth.
Forever ALL mortal men are removed from the face of the Earth.
* THEN are the Heavens Renewed AND OPENED, that AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, so SHALL it be “ON a renewed Earth”....

Matt 6:
[10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Gods KINGDOM shall be the WHOLE of Heaven and the WHOLE of the Earth.
(Ungodliness Eradicated).

Read, Study, Learn the Truth. God has been DIVIDING men since the beginning. Jesus Continued the DIVISIONS among men.
Gen 10:5
Luke 12: 51
John 7:43

IF a man IS NOT WITH God...he IS AGAINST God.
Matt 12:30
Luke 11:23

IT IS ludicrous Teaching that the Lord God Almighty WILL SUBJECT men “WITH” and “IN” Him, TO Gods Wrath and Tribulation(S), He sends down from Heaven.

God SUBJECTING a converted man “IN” Christ, to Gods Anger, Wrath, and Tribulation(S)....is TEACHING God Standing AGAINST Himself.

No, Christ’s Church SHALL NOT experience Gods Wrath and Tribulations He sends down from Heaven.

Nothing NEW UNDER THE SUN.
God exacted a FIRST GREAT Tribulation AGAINST the WHOLE WORLD ONCE, and SHALL AGAIN, one Last time.
THE Eight SAVED during Gods First Great Tribulation, DID NOT remain on the face of the Earth. THEY were LIFTED UP above the face of the Earth...above the mountain tops to the clouds...while Gods Wrath and TribulationS were destroying the Earth.
Gen 7: 17
Gen 7:20

Nothing New Under the Sun. What WAS shall be Again.
Ecc 1:9


1 Thes 4:17...
WHO? Those “IN” Christ.
WHO are Those “IN” Christ called? Christ’s Church.

Wrong

The NHNE takes place "After" this earth is dissolved by the Lord's fire in final judgment, a completely "New Creation"

It doesn't happen in the lifetime of all believers as you claim
When are believers resurrected?

While that might be the case, nevertheless, he says that he wants to vindicate his name another way.

“OF” this World, “IS” expressly, a reference to “MORTAL men STILL occupying THIS World.

Then why does Christ say:

John 18:36 (KJV) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Believers do not inherit this earth, but the new earth that shall come. The new earth where there shall be no mortality or corruption.

I find it hard to believe that one who professes to be in Christ would not know the Church in this world must endure "great tribulation" until the end of this age??? Every tribulation and trial is great for the believer who called to keep the faith even unto death!

Romans 5:3-6 (KJV) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Ephesians 3:13 (KJV) Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

OPEN your ears to what IS actually SAID!

Mortal men and Demonic spirits absolutely DO CAUSE wrath and tribulations AGAINST those “IN” Christ.

God DOES NOT CAUSE wrath and tribulations AGAINST those “IN” Christ.

The END of DAYS.....SEALS, TRUMPS, VIALS.......ARE Gods Tribulations He SENDS down from Heaven.

IF YOU ARE alive and ON the Earth IN “THOSE” Days....it is precisely BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT “WITHIN” THE Lord God Almighty, nor HE “IN” you.

Eph 3:13....Gods Tribulations SEND upon WHOM?
THOSE...IN Christ? No.

Eph 3:
3] How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
[4] Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
[5] Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
[6] That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
[7] Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
[8] Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
[9] And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
[10] To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
[11] According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
[12] In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
[13] Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
[14] For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[15] Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
[16] That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
[17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Paul is preaching to Gentiles, ABOUT receiving Gods Spirit ...... IN them.
No Paul is not preaching to Gentiles, WHO ALREADY HAVE Gods Spirit....IN them.

Many men Hear and Believe........YET DO NOT HAVE Gods Spirit ... IN THEM.

A man “NOT CONVERTED”, sure is subject to Tribulations.

Belief....of Gods Word, is a mans WORKS.
A mans SERVICE to God....is HEARTFUL CONFESSION of His Belief.

WORKS / Belief of men can come and go.
SERVICE/ a mans true heartful Confession IS Permanent.

You are misapplying a Conversion to men who are NOT Converted.

Because (The Beast) seen in Revelation 13:5 causes The Great Tribulation, and he is in power 42 months or 3.5 years, pretty simple

So, how can a 1,000 year time period come like a thief in the night? That's nonsense.
Are you saying the last 1992 years came as a thief in the night?

How can the NHNE come as a thief in the night, if they will last longer than 1,000 years?

Your point that 1,000 years cannot come as a thief in the night is nonsense.

The moment of surprise does not define the whole length. It only means that no one will know when it starts.

You cannot apply 2 Peter 3 to the NHNE if you keep this nonsensical approach. 1,000 years is a lot shorter time frame than the NHNE.

Why didn't Peter said we are looking forward to an earthly kingdom instead of the NHNE then? He indicated that the NHNE is in keeping with the fulfillment of the promise of His second coming. That would not be the case if it was not ushered in until 1,000+ years later. I don't find the argument you're trying to use here to get around that to be convincing at all.

Because it was from the perspective on earth and that kingdom. Looking forward means the NHNE did not happen at the point of the thief in the night moment. Nor would it happen until after the Day of the Lord. Those on earth during the Day of the Lord are also looking for the NHNE. Jesus must reign during the Day of the Lord, and then He hands back creation to God. Peter tells you the length of the Day of the Lord. You are ignoring Peter's description.

John gives the length of the Day of the Lord. You demand he is talking about something else.

Revelation 13:5KJV
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
You were asked to provide Scriptures not to prove the Antichrist's reign lasts 3.5 years but rather, to prove that the *Great Tribulation* lasts 3.5 years. Speaking only for myself I believe the Great Tribulation was defined by Jesus in his Olivet Discourse as being a "Jewish Punishment," lasting from 70 AD, the fall of Jerusalem, until the end of the age, the 2nd Coming of Christ.

If so, the Great Tribulation would be defined in Scripture as lasting *an entire age,* and not a strictly 3.5 years period of time, nor even a 7 years period of time, as many think. Again, I'm with you that the Antichrist's reign lasts 3.5 years. But I can't agree that the *Great Tribulation* lasts only 3. 5 years, because this is what Jesus said about it...

Luke 21.20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."

Though this appears to be a very unpopular position on this and other forums, nobody at all has been able to successfully dispute what I'm saying here, that the "Great Tribulation," here defined, indicates it lasts for the entire NT age! The objective Dispensationalists have for describing the reign of Antichrist as a "Great Tribulation" appears to be to frighten Christians into believing in a Pretribulational Rapture. If the reign of Antichrist is described as "God's Wrath," then logically, the Church should be immune from that and want to be "raptured out" of the earth even before it begins.

3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
