Q.  I’m struggling with the two sets of 1260 days given for the 70th week.  From what I understand, the first half or the first 1260 days will begin when a contract is signed with the Antichrist (Dan 9:27).  From there, the 70th week will be basically 1260 days x2. If this is true, then once the treaty is signed (Dan 9:27) then the return of Christ appears to be predictable.  However, Christ said it will come as a surprise because no one will know the day or hour in advance.  I know there is the 75 day period after the Great Tribulation is finished.  If Christ doesn’t return on the 2520th day, then His return would be narrowed down to at most a 75 day window and the “surprise” factor is reduced greatly. Can you help me on this one?

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

Periodically over the past six years I’ve written about the similarities between Islamic prophecies of an end times leader they call al Mahdi and Biblical prophecies about the one we call the anti-Christ. In their respective prophecies they’re both said to come on the scene during a time of great turmoil on Earth, both will claim a desire to restore peace, both have a seven year reign, both head a one world religion and one world government, both claim supernatural origins, and both reigns end in a battle between good and evil that brings Earth’s final judgment.

Q.   I have been thinking a lot about Matthew 24:24 ” For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”  Who are the “elect” and if it is us as followers of Christ does he mean that we will not be here for the deception by saying “if possible”.

Q.  Many believe that the first six seals in Revelation 6 are the beginning of God’s judgments on the Earth and it’s inhabitants.  Others believe the seals are an overview of things “that must happen” before the second coming. Comparing the sixth seal to Matthew 24:29-31, these signs are what will occur just before the return of Christ, which is at the end of the Tribulation period. What is your take on this issue?

Q.  I was just wondering what biblical evidence (implicit or explicit) there is that the different events in Revelation will actually happen during the 70th week of Daniel. Are there any measurements of time stated in Revelation that state how long the judgments will last? Why do the judgments have to happen in the 70th week? Am I missing something?

Q. I was re-reading your essay on Revelation, and I wonder…when the first four seals are to be opened, is there any indication that it will happen in rapid succession, or will there be a space of time to allow the realization of each event to sink in?
