In Daniel 8:19 the last 3.5 years of this 7 year period is referred to as ”Time of Wrath”, “because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end”(end of Israel’s appointed 70 )(7’s) the last 7) Again in Daniel 11:36 the last 3.5 years are referred to as “The time of Wrath”. Revelation calls this “the great tribulation” Luke 21 mentions this same term “ Wrath” again in connection with the great tribulation or the last 3.5 years of the 70th week of Daniel and states that there will be Wrath in the land (Israel) against this people (the Jews). So the term “wrath” or “time of Wrath” is used several different ways in scripture but in the context of the passages mentioned above as well as Thessalonians “You are not appointed to suffer Wrath but to receive salvation” it is specifically talking about the tribulation period. Something the Bible says the Christian or believer in our present day is not appointed to. But remember that Israel was. (Probably why there was confusion over this issue that Paul had to deal with) Wrath in this context is the wrath of the Lamb Revelation 4 that is it is Jesus pouring out his wrath on the unbelieving world the Christian is not appointed to suffer wrath because Jesus paid that price for us satisfying the wrath of a holy God. In 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul reveals the infomration about the Antichrist mentioned above. But the discussion should be taken together.
Who refers to this 7 year period of as a time of wrath, where in scripture does it say this? When I read it, it seems to explicitly state otherwise.
Mathew 24:15 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:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Mat 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Jesus in verse 15 referenced Daniel. Lets take a look at chapter 7 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Here it written the stout horn will prevail for a time and times and the dividing of time a.k.a. 3.5 years or 1260 days. This is speaking directly of what happens from the mid-week point of the last week in Daniel to the end of it 1260 days later.
Lets look at chapter Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
What happens after the great tribulation is Gods wrath as writtnen Mathew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Now compare Mathew 24:29 with Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
great tribulation THEN wrath. during the great tribulation "the saints" His words not mine are persecuted as it is written they shall be given into his hand and he shall prevail against them (not tribulation saints, not the sealed 144,000 saints or jewish saints just plain old saints). End of tribulation Gods wrath poured out on the wicked. The saints are not appointed unto wrath that is what we escape.
Let me also nip in the bud and say nothing in Daniel is refering to Antiochus. Read in Mathew 24:15 Jesus was speaking around 30 A.D. to His disciples concerning a future event namely the great tribulation. Antiochus DIED about 190 years BEFORE this question was asked. The
horn before whom 3 others fell, the
stout horn, the
little horn and the
vile king are all speaking of the samething Anti-Christ.
