54 The Olivet Discourse Part 5

The Olivet Discourse of Jesus to His inner circle of Peter, James, John, and Andrew comes to an end with the Judgment of the Gentiles. Even though a significant number of Gentiles will be killed during the Tribulation and their armies will suffer the slaughter in the Campaign of Armageddon, some will make it through alive. They will be gathered together for the purpose of a special judgment.

TIMING OF THE JUDGMENT

The Millennium does not start right away at the close of the Great tribulation. Comparing several Scripture passages making reference to the tribulation’s duration demonstrate that there is a seventy-day interval at the end of the Tribulation prior to the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. These differences in numbers are intentional they are not scribal errors. The interval is demonstrated in Daniel.

Daniel 12:11-12

And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days (1290). Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days (1335) (KJV).
