The second coming of Jesus in Matthew 24 is at the mid trib point, and that timeline is established as a fact, because Jesus has the abomination of desolation occurring in verse 15 - which is in the middle of Daniels 70th week - then the GREAT tribulation, which is the last 42 months, starts in verse 21, followed by His second coming in verse 30-31, as the next event.
Jesus confirms again His mid trib second coming, by saying He comes after THE tribulation - verse 29 - not the GREAT tribulation that He refers to in verse 21, but the tribulation, which is the first 42 months of the tribulation - (which is general tribulation- there’s no mark given yet, no wearing out the saints of God yet, as in the last 42 months).
Notice also that the sun goes dark, and the moon goes black, just before His second coming, which os what happens at the great and terrible day of the lord - the day of the lord, and the Lords return, are the same event.
Therefore, when Paul wrote in 2 Thessalonians 2 that we won’t be gathered together to be with the Lord until the mid-trib event occurs called the abomination of desolation (caused by the son of perdition declaring himself God while sitting in the Jewish temple), and also calls it the day of the lord, he didn’t switch topics or events - the second coming of the Lord, and the day of the Lord, are synonymous.
Back up one chapter in 2 Thessalonians 2, to chapter one, and it confirms that Jesus returns with flaming fire and the vengeance of the Lord, which occurs at the day of the lord.
So we have the dark sun and black moon occurring just before His coming, in Matthew 24, and that He comes with flaming fire and vengeance in 2 Thessalonians 1, verifying the day of the Lord and His second coming are the same event - then Paul writes we won’t be gathered together to be with Jesus in the second coming/day of the Lord until the mid-trib son of perdition/abomination of desolation event happens, in 2 Thessalonians 2.
Which chapter of Daniel do you believe Jesus is speaking of in verse 15? 7, 8, or 9?
Why do you think the Great Tribulation is the last half of 7 years? What happens during the first part do you think? When does the Antichrist appear?
