I agree, when it begins it whill shortly come to pass.
I don't know who or what you agree with since you are the only one saying that.

There is no Israel now, if that is what you are getting at.
There is spiritual Israel, the church.
As for a physical thing, Israel, then that is just a group of people who decided for some reason to call themselves, Israel. That does not magically mean they are figures in prophecy.
All this tribulation quizzing is meaningless to me since I interpret it to have already happened, which is clear from Daniel and Matt. and Mark.
You have no room to talk, you go to the most liberal Agnostic scholars on the planet to remove ENTIRE books from the canon of scripture that you don't care for. Instead of letting the Word of God define your theology and alter your theology so it aligns with the Word of God you alter the Word of God until it aligns with your theology.
You are a natural plagiarist, meaning you like this "prophet" aura about you so you say things as if you came up with them on your own and will leave off citing sources when you feel you can bluff your way through.
John was "in the spirit on the "DAY OF THE LORD". That's an OT metaphor for the Millennial Kingdom read Ezekiel sometime. The naming of Sunday as "the Lord's Day" wouldn't come for several centuries. John was taken into the future to a vision of the Lord's day, the Millennial reign.
The Ekklesia was a mystery hidden from the OT prophets, that would include Daniel. The 69th week stopped at the diaspora and the 70th week of 7 years is the 7-year tribulation, the time of "JACOB'S (Israel)" trouble.
If you knew that you will have to go through the 1st half of the Tribulation and that you would die in one of those FEMA Concentration Camps for declaring Jesus to be your savior , would you ? Or would you say why, He's still going to let me die anyway ? This is a question for every one .

You mean hidden from the church itself until it was "discovered" by John Nelson Darby.
I think what you are talking about is the theory about how time is stopped, like God hit the PAUSE button on "prophetic time" to fit this odd anomaly, the church, in there, which of course needs to be eliminated by the rapture in order for time to continue on for the Jews.

Seeing this as another example, your argument falls on its face before it can speak.
"For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations." ~ Ezekiel 30:3
Seventh-day Sabbatarians hold that this means he was brought by the Spirit into an eschatological vision of the Day of the Lord (cf. Is. 58:13–14, Mt. 12:8, etc.), interpreted as a seventh (Sabbatical) millennium. Both parties accordingly use this verse to lay claim to the name "Lord's Day" for their Sabbath.

You do understand that you are following an invention of the Catholic Church, right?
So do you define the Word by your "theology"?
Your theories seem to rely a lot on the Catholic Church.
Go for it. And tell me if Sunday being made the "Lord's Day" happened before Constantine made the edict.
You need to get a clue about the SDA church before talking about it.
Your own SDA denomination agrees with what I just said. Get a clue.
Your theories seem to rely a lot on the Catholic Church.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: ~ Acts 2:20
3 For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations." ~ Ezekiel 30:3
Go see if the phrase "Day of the Lord" appears anywhere in the OT prophets, especially Ezekiel.
"The day of the Lord" begins when he comes back to Earth, judges the nations, and rules from David's throne in Jerusalem fulfilling the promise made to Mary.

You should read the book, The Wandering Who (now available in Kindle format for $7.95) and you will find out that the NWO has a Zionist agenda.
The Christian will be the most dangerous enemy of the NWO
It (a group of people only calling themselves Israel) is illegally occupying Jerusalem.
Israel does exist today legally and will rebuild the Temple at the behest of the Antichrist .
Ezekiel was written in Babylon, so has nothing to do with events that happened 400 years later (or whatever). It was about current events, the destruction of the 1st temple, and not the destruction of the second or third (or whatever).
And he will sit in the seat of God . Then I believe that the Jews ( that you say are not in Israel just like the Arabs say ) will rebuke him as an imposter. I can see where the Antichrist will seek to wipe Israel off the map for raining on his parade .That is when JESUS the LORD will come to save Israel from total destruction . IF YOU REMEMBER among one of the reasons the Jews rejected Jesus was because he didn't save Israel from the Romans . Ezekiel tells in chapter 38 that He will come back and save Israel and that has not happened at any time . But it will .
