"REPLY TO GARRY B. -- "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS""


In reply to your 1/16 post "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS" (fivedoves.com) I think that "Immediately after the tribulation of those days" in Matthew 24:29 is referring the Lord Jesus Christ's second coming to the Earth which is described in Matthew 24:29-31 and not the Rapture.  "The tribulation of those days" is referring back to "great tribulation" in Matt. 24:21 which begins when the abomination of desolation or image of the Beast stands in the holy place which is inside the Jewish temple, and the people are told to flee when they see it happen.  It marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation period of 1,260 days or 42 months when the Beast rules from the city of Jerusalem while requiring mankind to worship him and his image while beheading those who don't.  According to Matthew 24:21, Jesus said, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."  This happens after the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place.  If the Gog-Magog War is part of the Battle of Armageddon which is at the end of the great tribulation period, then indeed the Lord's 2nd coming down to Earth will be after the end of the great tribulation period of 1,260 days.
