As we read in Seven Years to the Day (Part 2), Almighty God has determined 70 Weeks or 490 years for the nation of Israel: 1) To finish the transgression; 2) To make an end of sins; 3) To make reconciliation (atonement) for iniquity. These events have been fulfilled. The remaining events which will be fulfilled in the the last week of the 70 will be; 4) To bring in everlasting righteousness; 5) To seal up the vision and prophecy; and 6) To anoint the most holy place (Daniel 9:24).This last week of 7 years (the 70th Week of Daniel) is also called the Great Tribulation Period, the Age of Lawlessness, the Day of Wrath, and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. Each and all of these titles do not suggest pleasant things to come. As a matter of fact, this Last Week of Daniel's 70 will be the most horrific episode ever experienced in the world since time began. Jesus said, For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be (Mark 13:19).
After the Rapture of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17), the beginning of this last prophetic week will commence with the "Confirming of the Covenant" (Daniel 9:27) between Israel and their enemies. The Anti-Christ or that Man of Sin (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3), will then be identified by his confirming (i.e., strengthening) of this covenant (i.e., agreement or treaty). Once this Covenant is signed, the Prophetic Clock of Israel will begin to tick again after 2000 years or so of being stopped. It is from this point that one can count seven years to the day (i.e., 2520 days in lunar years) for Christ to return to earth, destroy His enemies, and establish His Kingdom (see Revelation 19:11-21, 20:1-6). During this seven-year period God will be preparing His chosen people Israel for His soon coming and Kingdom reign.
The next prophetic event to occur will be the "Breaking of this Treaty" in the middle of the 7-year “week.” This is called in scripture “The Abomination of Desolation” (Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14-15). It is at this time (i.e., after 3 ½ years) that the Anti-Christ will set up his totalitarian state, initiate a global monetary takeover called the Mark of the Beast (Rev 13:16-18), and seek to establish himself as Almighty God (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)! Then with insane, zealous fury will he go after God’s chosen people in the attempt to eradicate the nation of Israel (Revelation 12:12-17) before Christ's Kingdom can be established. The persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime will absolutely pale in comparison to this event. Millions upon millions of Jews will be wiped out (Zechariah 13:8-9). So catastrophically cataclysmic, so terribly devastating and awesomely horrible is this time that few will be left alive (Isaiah 24:17-21; Revelation 6:12-17, 16:18-21). From the time the Abomination of Desolation is set up to the return of Jesus Christ is exactly 1260 days or three and a half years. These last 3 ½ years are called the Great Tribulation (Isaiah 13:9-13)! The Word of God gives much insight and information for this brief time period. God's Word has been preparing and warning humanity about this time since man’s fall some 6000 years ago. What is astounding is that Almighty God reaches out extensively to humanity during this time by miracles, revelation, preaching, prophecy, etc., yet humanity still refuses and rejects God's grace and love. They would rather die in their sins than believe and repent and be delivered from their fallen state. They would rather face the wrath of God and eternity in God's Hell than receive the love of God. The Bible says,
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings (Jeremiah 17:9-10).
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts (Rev 9:20-21).
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
It is God's absolute desire that no one should perish (eternally). Man was created to enjoy God in the beauty of righteousness, and for God to enjoy man. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23,32). God's great love is found in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ!

The Bible states, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
God cares. He knows. He wants only the highest and best for humanity - which includes you! What can (and does) Almighty God do when a rebellious world and creation rejects and violates the eternal absolutes and laws of their Creator? There is only one solution left, and that is Judgment. Do you know The Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? Put your trust in Him today. Repent and ask God's Son Jesus Christ into your heart. He wants to save you! He will forgive all your trespasses (sins) and give you eternal life! Trust in Him today!
This has been just a brief study in the prophetic day coming up ahead. Even so come Lord Jesus!
A list of ordered events that will transpire during the 7-Year Tribulation period:

If you are one of the countless people that are left behind in that day coming up, may you not be one of the multitudes that reject the reality and revelation that is given to you by Almighty God. Christ said, Behold I come as a thief! (2 Peter 3:10, Rev 3:3 16:15). May His Glorious Second Coming catch you not oblivious in that day.
