It’s been isolated, separated from the other 69 weeks and classified by itself as the 70th week of Daniel. Because it is a week of years, many people refer to it as the Seven Year Tribulation. This is technically incorrect. The week lasts a full seven years, but the Great Tribulation is relegated to the last half of that week.”

Her face is hidden until, with a shout, the Bridegroom returns to consummate the eternal covenant He made and present His bride, pure and holy, to God the Father.”

“If even this broken, damaged world is gorgeous and full of creative wonder and beauty, it’s breathtaking to ponder Heaven and the greater place of His habitation where He’s been preparing for us to live forever.”
