What event restarts God's prophetic clock after the church age?
The signing of a seven-year covenant or treaty between the Antichrist and the nation of Israel restarts God's prophetic time clock after the church age. This event, described in Daniel chapter 9, begins the final seven-year period during which God deals primarily with Israel again.
Les explains that the church age is a parenthesis during which God's prophetic clock for Israel is stopped. The event that restarts it is the Antichrist's signing of a seven-year treaty with Israel, as foretold in Daniel chapter 9. This begins the final seven years, the time of Jacob's trouble, when God again deals with His covenant people Israel. After the treaty is signed, two witnesses appear in Jerusalem, and 144,000 Jewish men are sealed and commissioned to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, not the gospel of grace. Revelation's events are not strictly chronological, so one must identify events at the beginning, midpoint, and end of the seven years.
