Why is God's prophetic clock currently stopped?
God's prophetic clock is stopped because Israel rejected the Old Testament prophecies at the crucifixion and resurrection, which began the church age—an undetermined period no one can date. The clock remains stopped until the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel, when it resumes.
Les explains that God's time clock stopped at the crucifixion and resurrection because Israel rejected everything concerning the Old Testament prophecies. That event ushered in the church age, an undetermined period of time that no one can set a date on and that is strictly in the mind of God. The clock stays stopped until the individual who comes out of the revived Roman Empire signs a seven-year treaty with Israel. On the day that treaty is signed, the clock kicks back into gear, beginning seven distinct scriptural years of 360 days each. In the middle of that week, the Antichrist will cause sacrifice and oblation to stop, which requires a temple in Jerusalem, and he will bring abomination and desolation.
