What sets the time factor for the events in Revelation?
The time factor for the events in Revelation is set by Israel's seven-year treaty. This covenant, involving Israel, governs the timeline and all that takes place during that period. The book of Revelation deals primarily with Israel, and this treaty concerns itself with the time factor and everything occurring.
Les explains that the book of Revelation is dealing primarily with the nation of Israel, as God deals with His covenant people in preparation for His return. He notes that while all the Gentile nations are going to be affected, it is Israel's seven-year treaty that concerns itself with the time factor and everything that's taking place. This treaty sets the timeline for the events, including the rise of the Antichrist from the sea and the false prophet from the earth as part of a counterfeit trinity during the tribulation.
