THE TRIBULATION<br />
Salvation during the Tribulation ~ Evangelism during the Tribulation <strong>REVELATION</strong> <strong>14</strong>:1-7<br />
3<br />
Summary<br />
God’s grace is in operation throughout time. Even in the Tribulation (a time<br />
of God’s wrath and judgment) grace abounds. First, there is judgment<br />
upon Israel. Second, there is judgment upon the world. Third, there is<br />
judgment upon Satan and those who follow him. In the Tribulation, God, is<br />
purifying His creatures and His creation in preparation for the personal<br />
rule of His Son as Earth’s King. Yet, people still have a chance to be saved<br />
by grace. At all times, God offers the opportunity (a ―Fair Shake‖) for<br />
salvation. Salvation remains the same in every age—faith in the Lord Jesus<br />
Christ (ROMANS 1:1-5). Salvation is available to anyone who WILL<br />
receive it as a gift.<br />
God promised Israel 490 more years before they would be purified from<br />
apostasy and sin and restored to prominence and honor. The clock started<br />
ticking with a decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem in 445 B.C.<br />
(NEHEMIAH 2:5) The clock stopped ticking after only 483 years: seven<br />
years short of the promised total. Seven years are missing. Where could<br />
they be?<br />
Read DANIEL 9:24-27. Advise students to keep their Bibles open to<br />
that portion of Scripture as you explain the chart. Teacher should be<br />
aware of the following points and explain to students: the word ―weeks‖ as<br />
used in this passage comes from a Hebrew word meaning ―sevens‖, because<br />
there are seven days in a week. ―Seventy weeks‖ then, literally means 70<br />
times 7, which equals 490 years (calculate the math on the board).<br />
DANIEL’S SEVENTY WEEKS<br />
DANIEL 9:24-27<br />
“To end the apostasy of the Jews, to make an end of sin.”<br />
The 490 years (70 X 7 years) God promised Israel, began with<br />
Artaxerxes Longimanus’ decree on March <strong>14</strong>, 445 B.C. (Nehemiah 2:5) to<br />
restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the walls are actually rebuilt. .<br />
1. From issue of the<br />
decree until the walls<br />
were actually rebuilt.<br />
49 years (Neh. 2:5; Dan.<br />
9:24).<br />
DANIEL’S 70 WEEKS DIVIDE INTO THREE SECTIONS<br />
2. The time from the<br />
completion of the walls to<br />
the cross in 30 A.D.<br />
434 years. Daniel 9:26).<br />
7 Years are<br />
missing (Daniel<br />
9:27).<br />
(49 + 434 = 483)<br />
483 is 7 years short of 490 years. Where can those seven years be?
