The Bible says The Great Tribulation is 3.5 Years. 8 TIMES

Daniel 7:25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

Revelation 11:2 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 12:14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.

Daniel 12:7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”

Revelation 11:3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

Daniel 12:11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

Revelation 13:5 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.

    ‘For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.’
    1 Thessalonians 5:3

    When will the wicked be declaring peace and safety during the 70th week of Daniel? (1 Thes. 5:3) Will it be during the Beginning of Sorrows, the Great Tribulation or the Day of the Lord?

    During the Beginning of Sorrows, the wicked won’t be declaring peace and safety while being devastated by the wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes. (Mat. 24:4-8)

    During the Day of the Lord, the wicked won’t be declaring peace and safety while God punishes them for their evil. (Mat. 24:37-39, Isa. 13:9-11)
    The nations will feel safe after the wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes disappear. (Mat. 24:4-8) The only time the wicked will be declaring peace and safety will be during the Great Tribulation of the saints by the Beast. (Mat. 24:9-26, 1 Thes. 5:3, Rev. 13:5-7)

    When Jesus returns for His elect the world will be declaring peace and safety during the Great Tribulation. (Mat. 24:21-31, 1 Thes. 5:3-4) Satan’s wrath will cut short by angels when they gather a great multitude of overcomers out of the nations to heaven in Rev 7:9-17!

    The ‘you’ in the Olivet Discourse is believers. There was no nation of Israel there to hear Christ, it was a PRIVATE discussion with His Disciples.

    BEAST will demand the beheading of all the saved
    (who will not worship BEAST/image and will not take the “mark”)

    Since the saved know that day of beheading = day go to heaven,
    When the time comes, the saved will not flee nor fight nor fear.
    The saved will cooperate with the beheading.

    The real day of rapture will be when the blade falls and the saint is freed from the body and goes into full unity with Jesus and goes to the “sea of glass” in heaven as per Revelation 15

    Some of those 3 1/2 years are the first half of the week, and some are of the second half, which is Great Tribulation, as I see it.

    3 1/2 + 3 1/2 = 7.

    Every one of those start midtrib except the 2 witnesses. They appear a few days before midtrib and are killed a few days before the last day of Daniels 70th week.

    True. It’s a 3.5 year time period. The first half will be a time of false peace. But in the second half, the Antichrist will show his true colors; and it will be a time of great persecution for all who believe in Christ. Let’s pray for the faith and patience to endure the times that lie ahead.

    The 6th Trumpet is the 3.5 years tribulation
    The 6th Trumpet or 2nd Woe is The 3.5 year Great Tribulation After the 4th Trumpet we read: Revelation 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
    Before the 6th Trumpet or 2nd Woe we read:Revelation 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for “to slay the third part of men”.
    We read the lenght of this Trumpet or Woe in Revelation 11:2 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”.3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy “a thousand two hundred and threescore days”(3.5 years), clothed in sackcloth. After we read Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud (Resurrection); and their enemies beheld them.
    We then read Revelation 11:14 The second woe (6th Trumpet) is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

    The Sixth Trumpet
    Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in “the great river Euphrates”. 15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for “an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year”, for to slay “the third part of men”. 16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18By these three was “the third part of men killed”, by “the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone”, which issued out of their mouths. 19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

    Every one of these verses do not mention this 31/2 as a time period of 31/2 years. Please show me verses which show the word Great tribulation in it. This time period called Great Tribulation is not biblical. It is Scofield’s teaching.

    “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6

    After the first seal opens, false teachers will begin deceiving many believers. (Rev. 6:1-2, Mat. 24:4-5, Luke 21:8) Wars will spread among the nations after the second seal is opened. (Rev. 6:3-4, Mat. 24:6) Jesus exhorts us not to be troubled because the end of the age is not yet (harvest). The harvest of believers will take place after the Lamb of God opens the sixth seal of the heavenly scroll. (Mat. 13:39-43; 24:29-31, Rev. 6:12-17)

    Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall “understand”; but the wise shall “understand”. 11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the “abomination that maketh desolate set up”, there shall be “a thousand two hundred and ninety days”. 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

    When will Israel be dwelling safely among her enemies?

    ‘You will say, “I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.” Ezekiel 38:11

    Israel will be living peacefully during the first half of the 70th week because of the covenant she agreed to with her enemies. (Dan. 9:27) We know this because the children of Israel will be unwalled and unprotected when the Abomination of Desolation breaks this covenant in the middle of the 7 years. (Ezek. 38:11, 14, Luke
