End Times Logistics

The Bible is very specific about the timing of end time events. For example, according to the prophet Daniel, there will be a 7-year tribulation period. It will be divided up into (2) 3-1/2 year periods. Then there will be an event between these two periods when the Antichrist will set up "the abomination of desolation" in the temple. We read:

"He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." - Daniel 9:27

In order for this to occur there has to be a temple, right? Currently, there is none. That's where logistics come in. How long does it take to build a temple? Where do you get all the supplies? The altar? The lampstand?

Well, the altar, the lampstand, the utensils, the preistly garments, etc., already exist and are waiting for the temple to be built. See The Temple Institute.

It has been said that even the whereabouts of The Ark of The Covanent is known, awaiting the return of The Messiah. But He won't fully return until AFTER the tribulation.

While all of the end times stuff is really interesting, it doesn't really matter to the Christian all that much because we won't be here when any any of it happens, but it does provide us with a logistical time frame of end time events.

We see all of these things happening and know with out a doubt that time is short. That in itself should be an encouragement to us, as the return of our Lord to remove us from all of this craziness is very near.

Getting back to logistics, the average construction time for a church or temple is 25-48 months. That 2-4 years, depending on size and complexity.

God's third temple has already been designed (Ezekiel 40-48). According to Isreal365news, the stones for the temple are already being cut. Can the removal of God's chosen ones and the construction of the temple be far off?

Logistically speaking, the rapture is the next step in God's prophetic timeline, and we have been called to be ready. Are we?

"What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. For this world in its present form is passing away." - 1 Corinthians 7:29,31
