Is God's time clock running during the church age?
No, during the church age God's time clock has stopped. It is a hidden time that only God knows, and no one knows when it will end. The clock resumes when the final seven years of Daniel 9:27 begin, triggered by the covenant with Israel.
Les explains that during the church age, God's time clock has stopped. No one knows when it will end; it is a hidden time that only God knows. But the final seven years will kick in gear and be on God's time clock, even as the Old Testament period. The triggering mechanism is Daniel 9:27, where He makes a covenant with Israel for seven years. In the middle of the week, He causes sacrifice and oblation to stop, implying temple worship restarts. Israel will be under the Antichrist's supposed protection for three and a half years, then he makes the temple desolate until the end.
