Breaking Down the Three Phases of Daniel’s 70th Week:Beginning of Sorrows (Matthew 24:4-8, Revelation 6:1-8) – Marked by wars, famines, plagues, and natural disasters leading up to the Antichrist’s covenant with Israel.

- The Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:9-28, Revelation 6:9-11) – The Antichrist breaks his covenant, leading to intense persecution of believers.

The Day of the Lord (Revelation 6:12-17, Revelation 8) – The rapture occurs before God’s wrath is poured out in judgment.

- The Rapture Precedes God’s Wrath – Cosmic signs will signal the rapture of the church (Matthew 24:29-31), removing believers before the outpouring of divine judgment.

- What This Means for Us Today – As global events escalate, including crises like the Coronavirus pandemic, we are seeing foreshadows of greater upheavals to come. Jesus calls His church to watch, pray, and stay prepared.

This message urges believers to stay spiritually awake, share the gospel, and encourage one another with the promise of Jesus’ return.
