We believe Daniel’s Seventieth Week is a future seven-year period occurring after the Church is removed. It consists of a first three-and-one-half-year period followed by a second three-and-one-half-year period. The latter half is the Great Tribulation in the strict sense.
We reject the view that Christ’s earthly ministry already fulfilled the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week.
We believe a literal future Antichrist will arise, oppose God, persecute the saints, exalt himself, and institute a system requiring the Mark of the Beast for economic participation. Receiving the Mark and worshiping the Beast results in irreversible divine condemnation.
We believe the 144,000 are literal Israelites, twelve thousand from each of twelve named tribes. They are not the Church.
We believe the two witnesses of Revelation 11 are Moses and Elijah. They minister during the Tribulation, are killed by the Beast, lie dead for three and one-half days, and are resurrected and caught up.
We believe there is a catching up and resurrection of Tribulation saints associated with the end of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, distinct from the Church’s pre-Tribulation Rapture.
