This first WRAP will be dedicated to Believers in Pakistan whose nation's history is a study of what differing religions can do to a people! (For a brief synopsis of Pakistan's recent history, go to the article on Pakistan in the on-line encyclopedia, INFOPLEASE.) Between the Hindu, the Muslim, and the Christian religions, all divided into differing factions, strong-willed men and women have played havoc on the general populous for centuries. However, some good has come out of all this: i.e., no one person or religion has had the total domination that they have wanted. Consequently, for the most part, the people do enjoy a measure of liberty to choose what they want to believe. Also, because of the influence of British traders, the English language is quite common and we have the privilege of WRAPping with the Pakistani believers!

The following WRAPs are from Pakistan and we've put them on the web so that you can hold them up in your prayers.

(For the ministries that have invited us to come to Pakistan; at this point in time, the Lord is not leading that way. However, we do thank you for the invite.)

Things to consider in God’s Word

What did Christ mean? “but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Rev. 24:22)
Answer: (Daniel 8:14) 2,300 days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 220 days short of 2520 days.
Is this for the end time? Read (Daniel 8:17) Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shell be the vision.

What do we learn from the word of God in (Ezek. 39:9) That Israel shall go forth and burn the weapons with fire seven years?
We learn that the war with Gog must happen seven years before the middle of the tribulation when Israel will flee to the wilderness because Israel cannot burn weapons while fleeing.

What can we learn from (Psalms 105:32) God gave them hail for rain?
In judgment God turns rain into hail. Can we say that hail is frozen rain?
What effect would frozen rain have on (Rev. 8:7 and Rev.11:19)?
We see in (Rev. 11:6) that it will not rain during the prophecy of the two witnesses.
This means the two witnesses must prophecy between (Rev. 8:7 and Rev. 11:19) this makes the first half of the tribulation of Daniel’s seven years begin with the first trumpet. This places the 7 seals out side of Daniel’s seven year tribulation. When God told Daniel to seal up the Book (Dan. 12:4) it would make sense that you must open all the seals before you can open the book (The last seven years of Israel’s judgment).

What do we learn from (Rev. 11:7)? The beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
We learn that the beast comes from the bottomless pit which is opened with the 5th trumpet and the beast make war with the two witnesses. This means that from the 5th trumpet to the 7th trumpet the beast and the two witnesses overlap. This allows the 1,260 days of the two witnesses (Rev. 11:3) to overlap with the beast that will have power to continue 42 months. This allows a shorting of the 7 year tribulation, but God’s word cannot be broken, and the 490 years must be completed, so God will add the overlap time (220) days to the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ when Satan will be loosed out of his prison. (Rev. 20:7)

DON WROTE:

Hello William,

As I read your WRAP, I sense your joy of studying the prophetic Word. (For our understanding of the prophetic portions of the Bible, go to our home page and check out the on-line book, CLOCK OF THE AGES, and our STUDY 0F THE BOOK OF REVELATION.) Your WRAP brings back good memories of my own study, but perhaps I had an advantage in that I approached the Bible with very little preconceived ideas. Consequently, I was not hindered by having to make the prophetic Word agree with someone else's ideas. It appears that you are wrestling with a "seven-year period." You might find some insight into this seven-year period in the introduction to the CLOCK OF THE AGES.

By the way, this reading the Bible with preconceived ideas can also taint our understanding of any Biblical concept. When the Lord called me out of night clubs into His glorious light, He led me into the Scriptures; but He impressed upon me that I was to forget everything that I thought I knew about the Bible and let Him teach me from scratch. I thought that would be easy, being as how I had read very little of the Bible and had purposely listened to little teaching from the Book! Nevertheless, I was amazed at the Biblical errors that I had picked up that wouldn't gel with the Bible.

Thanks for WRAPping with us and keep up the good work!

Maranatha,

Don
