The Proof of the Interval<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">The existence of this Interval is demonstrated in <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Da12.11-12\" data-reference=\"Da12.11-12\" data-datatype=\"bible\">Daniel 12:11\u201312<\/a>: <em>And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes <\/em><em>desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">In previous discussions, the figure of 1,260 days has often appeared (<a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Re11.3\" data-reference=\"Re11.3\" data-datatype=\"bible\">Rev. 11:3<\/a>, <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Re12.6\" data-reference=\"Re12.6\" data-datatype=\"bible\">12:6<\/a>). This is equivalent to 3\u00bd years. Sometimes it is in reference to the first half of the Tribulation, from the signing of the seven-year covenant to the takeover of the Jewish Temple and the commitment of the Abomination of Desolation. Other times it refers to the second half of the Tribulation, from the Abomination of Desolation to the Second Coming, during which <em>time<\/em> the Antichrist will rule the world. The demise of the Antichrist and the end of the Tribulation will come 1,260 days after the midpoint of the Tribulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">In this Daniel passage, two other figures are given. The first is in verse <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Da12.11\" data-reference=\"Da12.11\" data-datatype=\"bible\">11<\/a>: <em>a thousand and two hundred and ninety days<\/em>, 1,290, an addition of thirty days during which the Abomination of Desolation remains in the Temple before its removal. The second figure is in verse <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Da12.12\" data-reference=\"Da12.12\" data-datatype=\"bible\">12<\/a>: <em>the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days<\/em>, 1,335, forty-five days beyond the 1,290-day period, and seventy five days beyond the 1,260-day period of Revelation. A special blessing is pronounced on those who will make it to the 1,335th day (v. <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Da12.12\" data-reference=\"Da12.12\" data-datatype=\"bible\">12<\/a>). The blessing is that those who survive until the seventy-fifth day of the Interval will enter the Messianic Kingdom. That this is indeed a blessing will be seen in this study. There will be many who will fail and die before the 1,335th day comes, although they did survive past the 1,260 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">A number of events will transpire during the Seventy-five Day Interval, but it is impossible to determine the chronological sequence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">Thus, they will be studied thematically rather than chronologically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">II. The Removal of the Abomination of Desolation<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">The event that will signal the beginning of the second half of the Tribulation will be the Antichrist\u2019s takeover of the Jewish Temple from which he wil<span id=\"marker864402\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1909912\"><\/span>l declare himself to be the Almighty God. He will then have the false prophet set up his image in the Temple, thereby committing the Abomination of Desolation. The word <em>abomination<\/em> in Scripture always<span id=\"marker864403\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1910112\"><\/span> implies some kind of an idol, so it is this image of the Antichrist in particular that is indeed the Abomination of Desolation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">The Antichrist will retain control of the world for 1,260 days, and the<span id=\"marker864404\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1910312\"><\/span>n he will be killed. But the image, which had been made alive, will be allowed to continue another thirty days as <a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Da12.11\" data-reference=\"Da12.11\" data-datatype=\"bible\">Daniel 12:11<\/a> states: <em>And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be take<\/em><span id=\"marker864405\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1910512\"><\/span><em>n away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">The desecration of the Temple is allowed to remain the thirty days beyond the end of <span id=\"marker864406\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1910712\"><\/span>the Tribulation. The Bible does not tell us why this is permitted, nor why the Desolation is allowed to continue thirty days beyond the end of the Tribulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">Keep in mind that there is no real urgen<span id=\"marker864407\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1910912\"><\/span>cy to cleanse this particular Temple to begin with. This is the Third Temple or the Tribulation Temple, and it is never sanctioned by God like the other temples were. The First Temple, built by Solomon, was sanctioned by God. The Second Tem<span id=\"marker864408\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1911112\"><\/span>ple, built by Zerubbabel, was also sanctioned by God. Later, when it was renovated by Herod, it was sanctioned by God, because Yeshua (Jesus) had no problem seeing it as the center of Jewish worship in His own time. The Fourth Temple, which is the Millennial or Messianic Temple, is going to be sanctioned by God, because Yeshua Himself will be responsible for building it. But the Tribulation Temple never will be sanctioned by God as is m<span id=\"marker864409\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1911312\"><\/span>ade clear from a study of the first several verses of <span id=\"marker864410\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1911512\"><\/span><a class=\"bibleref\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/reference\/Is66\" data-reference=\"Is66\" data-datatype=\"bible\">Isaiah 66<\/a>. Because God will not sanction the Third Temple, He is i<span id=\"marker864411\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1911712\"><\/span>n no hurry to cleanse this particular Temple. In fact, this Temple will ultimately be destroyed, because this will not be the Temple of the Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lang-en\">After thirty days, the Abomination of Desolation is<span id=\"marker864412\" class=\"offset-marker\" data-offset=\"1911912\"><\/span> destroyed and the Temple with it, bringing the Abomination of Desolation to an end.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-chunk\" data-article=\"{&quot;articleId&quot;:&quot;MBS042.3&quot;,&quot;nextArticleId&quot;:&quot;MBS042.4&quot;,&quot;prevArticleId&quot;:&quot;MBS042.2&quot;,&quot;offset&quot;:1911997,&quot;length&quot;:1508,&quot;resourceStart&quot;:0,&quot;resourceLength&quot;:9264188,&quot;targetId&quot;:&quot;marker726045&quot;}\" data-resource=\"{&quot;resourceName&quot;:&quot;messbblstd&quot;,&quot;resourceId&quot;:&quot;LLS:MESSBBLSTD&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Messianic Bible Study Collection&quot;,&quot;abbreviatedTitle&quot;:&quot;TMBSC&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text.monograph&quot;,&quot;supportsBibleRefs&quot;:false,&quot;supportedDataTypes&quot;:[&quot;vp&quot;],&quot;supportsDynamicText&quot;:false,&quot;version&quot;:&quot;2013-08-05T14:39:38Z&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"resourcetext\">\n<p class=\"lang-en\">III.
