Mask mandates are coming back, the jab mandates are being enforced, schools are going virtual. I hope we are getting close because we are all about to get backed in a corner. My employer has not mandated the jab yet but if you have to be in the community you have to have the vaccine. If you don’t have it they won’t allow you to do a major part of your job function which will probably be grounds for termination.

Yes? What's your point? We call it the Rapture but the Greek and Hebrew use a more literal sense.
Again, what's your point? There's an entire article that you're just ignoring by this nitpicking.
Are you illiterate, or are you just being coy? This clearly makes an argument by citing Bible verses.
No idea what you're coming from, here. Simply because a church gets tax exemptions you claim that it's a false church? That's not what Babylon in Revelations is referring to in the slightest.
You've also completely failed to make even an attempt at the points made in these articles, or the things I've written myself. You're not being genuine in the slightest. You're behaving like a toddler screaming, "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA!"
For starters, your article states the following-
"First, it is important to recognize the purpose of the tribulation. According to Daniel 9:27, there is a seventieth “seven” (seven years) that is still yet to come. Daniel’s entire prophecy of the seventy sevens (Daniel 9:20-27) is speaking of the nation of Israel. It is a time period in which God focuses His attention especially on Israel. The seventieth seven, the tribulation, must also be a time when God deals specifically with Israel. While this does not necessarily indicate that the church could not also be present, it does bring into question why the church would need to be on the earth during that time."
Daniel 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
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.
Daniel 9:24-27 is an interpretation of a vision Daniel had provided by the angel Gabriel. It's written in chiastic structure, much like the Book of Revelation is. The start of the 490 year prophecy began when the order to restore Jerusalem was issued in 457 BC by Antaxerxes. It predicts the reconstruction of the temple, the arrival and crucifixion of Christ, and the end of the nation of Israel.
Christ's public ministry began in 27 AD, after he was baptized by John the Baptist, which was exactly 483 years after the beginning of the prophecy. (And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:)
When Jesus was crucified in the midst of the week (the week being the 7 years), this surely brought an end to the sacrificial system, as it reached it's fulfillment in Him.
In his mercy, the Messiah gave the nation of Israel an additional 3.5 years to accept Him as their Savior, even after they crucified Him. In the end, when the high priest of Israel ordered Stephen to be stoned after sharing the Gospel, Israel, the natural branch, was cut off and salvation was opened to all of mankind AKA the Gentiles.
Acts 7 is where you can read what Stephen spoke to the high priest that caused him to be stoned. Notice Saul, who became Paul, witnessed this stoning (and possibly participated in it).

So, no, those 7 years didn't magically move into the future as your source claims. It's impossible if you acknowledge the chiastic structure of the original Hebrew.
Also, the Dallas Theological Seminary was founded by Freemasons and the CEO of https://www.gotquestions.org/about.html is pursuing his Masters there.
