The views expressed are solely the authors and do not represent Christian theology or any specific branch of Christianity, or any sect of Judaism.
Within this documentation is presented the deception of Daniels 70 Weeks concerning eschatology and debunking of the myriad theories based around the rapture and the tribulation as commonly known within the Christian community.
I am not aware of any other document or source that expounds the 70 Weeks as laid out here. If any pundit has communicated similar expose it has been copied from this source.
For those who are Orthodox Judaism, within this document there is NO use of YHWH in plain form which is forbidden to those under rabbinic Law. The word God is written in plain form but not the actual name of YHWH. Titles for God such as Hashem, Elohim (plural verb) Elohai and others are used to describe Eloheinu as within Judaism.
Describing false deities will be written plainly with a small (g) to denote description of character other than YHWH in English/Hebrew/Greek or translation thereof. The use of the word ‘god’ will always refer to a foreign deity, not YHWH of Israel.
Moreover, the author is of Jewish origin who believes is no longer burdened under Torah Shebekhtav or Torah Shebealpeh, but has received grace as Avraham through HaMashiach Eashoa (Jesus the Messiah). As is known, rabbi and those practicing Judaism generally reject the invented word “Yeshua” as Mashiach and consider such idolatry.
For those who are Christian, the document expounds upon hermeneutic writing post Roman rule with the emergence of Mishnah and Talmud over the centuries from non-traditional Judaistic dogma.

For centuries the Nevi’im, or prophets, have been studied by the greatest scholars of our time. After thousands of years contemplation, a general concession is understood within Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. However, not all religions aspire to the recognition of what is said by Navi to the populations of the world.
Monotheists agree on Nevi’im as being instruments of my creator YHWH, but vary on belief of the many interpretations thereof. Dogma, or the religious beliefs and comprehension of Navi, can vary greatly depending on the sect, or who you ask.
The purpose here is to dissect plainly and display to the reader the prophecy concerning Armageddon, as well as the facts discovered and fictions created over the centuries.
You may not be religious, but have probably heard the word Rapture within the last decade. Driverless cars creating global catastrophe, death, destruction, and doom to mankind; the destruction has been portrayed in many movies and books.
HBO developed a series, “The Leftovers,” based on rapture belief and there exist a slew of books, movies, and articles about End Times or eschatology. How much is truth, if any? With so many versions of God and the end of the world, what are we really to believe?
Those who serve the modern definition of Judaism look to their sages and Zohar within Kabbalah for hidden answers. Mishneh commentary is studied (Talmud) for wisdom defining what was believed before and after Beit HaMikdash (the Holy Temple).
Much of Judaism today rely on Maimonides “Guide for the Perplexed” to determine definition of prophets and tractate that discusses such.
The Iman of Islam has at it’s core the “Six Articles of Faith,” in which Article 2 is the existence of Angels, Article 4 acceptance of the prophets, and Article 5 a day of judgement, or Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Islamic eschatology has major and minor signs as well as Shi’i and Raj’a tradition defining Mahdi, or the return of Messiah’s to rule the earth. Muhammad and Isa (Jesus) have defining roles pertaining to resurrection and final judgement as laid out in Hadith.
Christian eschatology primarily focuses on Daniels 70th week, the sermons of Jesus, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ, or “Book of Revelation,” as defining the culmination of prophecy. Terms such as millenialism, preterism, and pre-tribulation define the views of how the reign of Messiah is ushered in based on time frame, stages of events, and interpretation of Nevi’im.
Regardless of the views the end result is generally recognized as similar – judgment of all people throughout time by YHWH and the rule over all the earth by His Messiah. Who then has the sole right to determine the path? Only the prophets as the voice of God agreed upon by these monotheist faiths.
Is Armageddon all about death and destruction? Yes it is.
It is YOM YHWH, interpreted as the Day of the Lord. YHWH declared through Yeshayahu (Isaiah13:9-13) of His intention to wipe out sinners from the face of the earth with fury and wrath. Many want to argue about God wiping out people as unjust.
Does the ant question the human?
“So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare them. Put them to death—man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.” 1 Samuel 15:3
Those who preach that YHWH is only a loving God, do not know YHWH. For He will have His vengeance and no one can deny His wrath. Humans have worshiped false war gods for centuries. Mankind celebrates murder, slavery upon society, subjugation of the masses, and yet a person can have the opinion that they will not serve a God of wrath in life or in death?
You have will power. Power to choose in an atmosphere where choice is directed.
It is your choice to serve YHWH or the power of this world. You have a choice to be a servant to death, or accept the gift of eternal life through Jesus the anointed of YHWH.
Elohim is both light and darkness. He has created the duality and presented to the human race His commands (mitzvot) of good and evil; positive and negative. Armageddon and the Day of the Lord is encoded DNA. It is the next evolution for the human species.
It is the responsibility for those of us who serve YHWH to educate mankind through His mercy, by His Ruach HaKodesh, for the glorification of His name.
For it is written,
Psalm 103: 17-22
וְחֶ֤סֶד יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מֵעוֹלָ֣ם וְעַד־ע֭וֹלָם עַל־יְרֵאָ֑יו וְ֝צִדְקָת֗וֹ לִבְנֵ֥י בָנִֽים׃
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
לְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י בְרִית֑וֹ וּלְזֹכְרֵ֥י פִ֝קֻּדָ֗יו לַעֲשׂוֹתָֽם׃
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
יְֽהוָ֗ה בַּ֭שָּׁמַיִם הֵכִ֣ין כִּסְא֑וֹ וּ֝מַלְכוּת֗וֹ בַּכֹּ֥ל מָשָֽׁלָה׃
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His sovereign rule is over all.
בָּרֲכ֥וּ יְהוָ֗ה מַלְאָ֫כָ֥יו גִּבֹּ֣רֵי כֹ֭חַ עֹשֵׂ֣י דְבָר֑וֹ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗עַ בְּק֣וֹל דְּבָרֽוֹ׃
Bless the Lord O his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, being obedient unto the voice of His word.
בָּרֲכ֣וּ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־צְבָאָ֑יו מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו עֹשֵׂ֥י רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃
bless the LORD, all His hosts, His servants who do His will;
בָּרֲכ֤וּ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ כָּֽל־מַעֲשָׂ֗יו בְּכָל־מְקֹמ֥וֹת מֶמְשַׁלְתּ֑וֹ בָּרֲכִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
bless the LORD, all His works, through the length and breadth of His realm; bless the LORD, O my soul.
