Thus the time of "great tribulation" is the LATTER HALF of the 7 years "one week". What's HALF of 7 years??
It is 1260 days, or 42 months, or a time, times, and half a time.
This cannot work. Matthew 24:15-20 is one event 42 months:
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) . Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"
The colon separates that last event from an event that has to happen first. Matthew 24:21-28:
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."
The days of the GT will be shortened. The days of desolation from the AoD are 42 months and cannot be shortened.
There is not a GT after the 42 months. The GT is not the 42 months. The GT happens first and is shortened.
