Jeremiah Ogedegbe
Jesus was telling his disciples about the destruction of the temple, then the disciple asked about the signs of his coming (Matthew 24). Jesus told them further about when the end would be, stating one major factor which would determined the end: The Abomination that makes desolate found in the holy city of Jerusalem.
Matthew 24:1-5,
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Many are confused about the second coming of Jesus as there have been numerous false predictions about the end of the world. In 1975 Jehovah's Witnesses predicted the end of the world, but all expectations were in vain [see it on : wikipedia]. Also others have predicted severally when the end would be, but since it's not according to scripture, it fell to the ground. The truth is, the actual date is not written in the bible, it was just a clue of the events and especially Daniel's prophecies that we can forsee the season of the end. Daniel's prophecy in Daniel chapter 9 is where people are getting confused. The angel told Daniel that there are Seventy weeks from his days to reach the apocalypse (the end of the world). These 70 weeks has the mystery of figuring the year when the end would be. Let's see Daniel 9:25-27.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the 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.
From the going forth of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem unto the Messiah the prince shall be Seven weeks: These Seven weeks are weeks of prophecies, that is, they are prophetic cycle which is based on the prophet Jeremiah's vision and the Messiah's life in Israel. Here, this prophecy about rebuilding came out from Prophet Jeremiah. According to the prophetic vision it would take 70 years of independence for Israel to restore Jerusalem from the Palestinian and rebuild it. Here in these first seven weeks, 70 years would represents 1 week. 7 weeks would be (from Daniel to Jesus the Messiah): 70 years x 7, which is 490 years. According to biblical history this was approximately the years it took from that period when the prophecy came forth to Jesus the Messiah.
And threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times: Here, 62 weeks of prophetic cycle is focused on the life of the Messiah. Jeremiah's prophetic vision to the Messiah is 490 years; Messiah, the prince to restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem which according to Jeremiah's vision is 70 years of Israel as a nation. Jeremiah saw that it would take Israel 70 years of independence for Israel to restore its glory, Jerusalem, and rebuild it.
Israel was 70 years in 2018. Jerusalem was left undecided before Israel became 70 years.
On their 70th years of independence, President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital against Palestine who were claiming part of the city.
So from Jesus to when Israel is 70 years is: 32.5483870967 years x 62 = 2018 years. We divide 2018 by 62 to get 32 years 6 months and 20 days which might be the approximate years Jesus lived in Israel. Note: He spent about a year in Egypt when he was born, because Herod was trying to kill the child (Matthew 2), which is subtracted from 33.5 years Jesus lived on earth.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolation is determined: The Messiah shall be cut off means the coming into Israel by the Anti-Christ to fulfill his covenant toward Israel, to give Jerusalem to Israel, (to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel). The Messiah is cut off because the Anti-Christ has come to restore Jerusalem to Israel and to rebuild Jerusalem, therefore Christ would take peace away from Jerusalem because of the Anti-Christ Israel has believed.
The Anti-Christ would later build walls around the city of Jerusalem as a way of defending Jerusalem territory from the Palestinians, unlike previous American presidents who have acted indifferent concerning the issue. President Donald Trump the 45th American president has declared Israel as owner, and planned to move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This caused some tensions between the two countries and resulted into death, and destructions of lives many Palestinian protesters. The troublous times is the last one week (7 years of the Anti-Christ reign after Israel is 70).
The last one week is the reign of the Anti-Christ, the prince. This one week is equivalent to 7 years. In the midst week the Anti-Christ shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, which means, the pledges and contributions to UN from the world power would cease. Then there would be overspreading of abominations, which are the terrorists, which he would make desolate or destroy with his space force or armies (the Abomination that makes desolate). Note: Daniel chapter 11 verse 38 tells us that this space force or armies is the God the Anti-Christ worships. As it stands, only America has a space force in the world [see it on: wikipedia].
Conclusion:
The end revolves around restoring Jerusalem to Israel by the Anti-Christ, the rebuilding of it's wall in the troublous times (Daniel 9:25), and the coming into Jerusalem the Abomination that makes desolate. That gives us a time frame of 2025.
