Okay so then you count 1260 days and you still know when He comes, so why is there a warning to not let the thief break into your house and to not sleep?
I don't know the 'day' of Christ's future coming, so please do not suggest I do just because I showed you that the Revelation 11 Scripture shows the 7th trumpet - 3rd woe happens right after the 3 and 1/2 days there. It's still a toss-up when Jesus comes right after that 3 & 1/2 days when the two witnesses arise. Still don't know the 'hour'. But that certainly puts it in the ballpark.
As if you can sleep during the trib. Those texts are about the time before the trib. You have no idea when it starts and you can get lazy and go beat up the slaves, thinking oh He'll come in 100 years or more. That's what the bad servant was thinking, not: I'm here in the trib and is it 1260 or 1290 days. It took longer before He came, so they all fell asleep. That's about now.
All I can say to that is, if you think right now we are already in the time of "great tribulation", then you are confused, and not sticking with God's written Word. And I already showed you about the 1260 days tribulation time, and the 1290 and 1335 periods after the tribulation.
The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant
45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food [
i]in due season? 46 Blessed
is that servant whom his master,
when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying [
j]his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat
his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50
the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of
That is about those servants in Christ WHO PER HIS 'COMMAND' WATCH THE SIGNS HE GAVE FOR THE END LEADING UP TO HIS COMING.
Why do you think Jesus gave those 7 SIGNS of the end in His Olivet discourse?
Is that symbolic "thief" supposed to surprise those in Christ that WATCH the SIGNS like Jesus commanded?
It makes no sense to put this before He comes back in the end at the 2nd coming. Then there's persecution going on, beheadings, or that's even later, after the wrath, yet the servant is lazying around, beating and getting drunk. Drunk from what? He can't buy nor sell.
Now you are really... leaving God's written Word and going into confusion about the events for the end.
I suggest you study the SIGNS more that Lord Jesus gave us.
This is the order He showed:
1. time prior to the trib - chaos, wars and rumors of wars, nation against nation. The beginning of sorrows. NOW.
2. the tribulation, with the "abomination of desolation" idol setup in Jerusalem, and all that accompanies per the Book of Daniel about the "vile person" and "little horn" (Antichrist).
3. the tribulation - a time of world peace, the deceived saying, "Peace and safety".
4. the great falling away caused by the deceptions of the Antichrist and his host on earth tricking the whole world to think he is God having come, working great signs, wonders, and miracles on earth, fooling the whole world except those whose names were written in the book of life from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:4-8).
5. the time of some of Christ's servants being delivered up to councils and synagogues to give a Testimony for Christ by The Holy Spirit. Some are beheaded. The rest of Christ's Church remain steadfast waiting for Jesus to return and end the great tribulation. All those who see you are not bowing to the Antichrist who they think is God will wonder at you, and turn you in, even by a deceived loved one.
6. The Testimony against the beast by God's two witnesses, and the two candlesticks, and the plagues upon the beast by the two witnesses throughout the 1260 day tribulation. That beast (Satan) will kill God's two witnesses and leave their 2 dead bodies unburied laying in the street. After 3 and 1/2 days the two witnesses arise, to the shock of the whole world that see it.
7. the Testimony irks the beast that will ascend out of the bottomless pit (i.e., Satan), and he will determine to bring a great army out of the northern quarters against Israel in final to destroy...
8. several events happen quickly:
a. God's consuming fire comes at an instant upon the earth, causing the "sudden destruction" upon this earth and the wicked.
b. All alive on earth are suddenly changed at the twinkling of an eye, their flesh cast off.
c. Christ is revealed coming in the clouds with His saints gathered from Heaven.
d. Jesus then gathers His saints that are still alive on earth.
e. Christ with all His saints go to the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, His feet touch down there and a great valley is formed there. He fights the battle of Armageddon against Satan's army on earth, and defeats them at an instant.
f. first day of Christ's "thousand years" reign with His elect over the unsaved nations begins, with Satan locked in his pit prison.
