According to the Biblical Prophecy ‘Experts,’ What Starts the Last 7 Years?

 

That is a very good question, what do the most famous Biblical prophecy ‘experts’ believe will be the event that starts the last 7 years? 

Here is the answer, they believe the event that starts the last 7 years is the peace treaty.

 

In popular Christian eschatology (the study of end-times events), particularly within dispensational premillennialism, the signing of a seven-year peace treaty (or covenant) involving the Antichrist and Israel is the specific event believed to start the final seven-year period, often referred to as the Tribulation.

 

Many modern-day evangelical and dispensationalist Bible teachers subscribe to the view that a seven-year peace treaty (or covenant) involving the Antichrist and Israel will initiate the final seven years (the Tribulation period). This interpretation is a cornerstone of this specific eschatological framework.

 

Prominent figures and authors who teach this perspective include:

 

Dr. David Jeremiah: A well-known pastor, author, and founder of Turning Point Ministries, Dr. Jeremiah has written and taught extensively on end-times prophecy, adhering to the view that the Antichrist will confirm a seven-year covenant with Israel, which starts the Tribulation.

Dr. Mark Hitchcock: A prolific author and Bible prophecy expert, Dr. Hitchcock focuses on current events aligning with prophetic timelines, and he teaches that the seven-year covenant is the key trigger for the final period.

Robert Clifton Robinson: An author and teacher who frequently writes blog posts and books on biblical prophecy, emphasizing that the Daniel 9:27 prophecy of a seven-year peace plan is the beginning event of the Tribulation.

 

Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost: While his prominent work, the Bible Knowledge Commentary, was published decades ago, his interpretation of the Daniel 9 prophecy as a future seven-year covenant made by the Antichrist remains highly influential and is the basis for many modern teachers' views.

 

Joel Richardson: An author and filmmaker known for his focus on Middle Eastern prophecy, Richardson discusses the role of the covenant, although his views on the Antichrist's origin might differ slightly from traditional interpretations, the core concept of the treaty remains central to the timeline.

 

This teaching is widely disseminated through prophecy conferences, Christian television and radio, books, and online resources. The general consensus among those who hold this view is that the treaty will be brokered by a rising world leader (the Antichrist) and will guarantee Israel's security, allowing for the rebuilding of their Temple in Jerusalem.

 

And you know what, I agree that the last 7 years, or the 70^th Week will begin with the signing of the peace treaty with the many. In fact, it just happened: On October 13, 2025 the peace treaty was signed with the many.

 

So, why aren’t all these Biblical 'experts' proclaiming that the last 7 years has begun? It is probably because they also believe in the pre-tribulation rapture theory, which states that the rapture also occurs at the beginning of the last 7 years.  And since Christians have not been raptured yet, they reason the last 7 years has not begun. BTW, most pretribbers erroneously call the last 7 years the tribulation even though the tribulation events are only from Seals 1 to 4.

Part of the reason for their incorrect rapture thinking and failure to realize that the last 7 years has begun is that they also believe in a man-made theological system that came about in the 1830s called dispensationalism. This system forces them to interpret scripture in a certain way.

 

Dispensationalism is a Christian theological framework for interpreting the Bible that views history as a series of distinct "dispensations" or "administrations" in which God relates to humanity in different ways. A core tenet is maintaining a distinction between Israel and the Christian Church, and using a consistent literal interpretation of Scripture, especially biblical prophecy.

 

With their dispensational constraint they then interpret scripture based on what their theological system dictates rather than allowing the scriptures to speak for themselves. And the theological system of dispensationalism dictates that there has to be a pre-tribulation rapture.

 

In dispensationalism, the Rapture is a central and distinct event in end-times prophecy that involves the sudden removal of the Christian Church from the earth before a seven-year period of Great Tribulation. This event serves to "pause" God's dealings with the Church (the current "Dispensation of Grace") so that He can resume His specific prophetic program with national Israel.

 

So, basically they are allowing a man-made system dictate to them how to interpret scripture rather than interpreting scripture for what it says. 

And what does scripture say regarding the rapture? I refer you to the Apostle Paul who addressed the Thessalonians about their incorrect rapture belief—they believed the rapture was imminent or had already occurred and God through the Apostle Paul told them that certain things had to occur first.

 

1 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

 

2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

 

3 No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

 

4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thes 2:1-4

 

As you just read God told them that before the rapture, which occurs at the day of the Lord, that the apostasy must occur first, the antichrist be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur. All of that must occur before the rapture.

 

Therefore, since those things must occur first, then the rapture is not imminent until those things occur. Thus, the dispensational theory that contends the rapture is imminent cannot be correct because it contradicts scripture. 

And here is another scripture that disproves dispensational thinking. How can God have a different dispensation for Israel and Christians when they have been grafted together into one.

 

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, Rom 11:17.

 

So, how can there be a dispensation for two groups when we have been combined? There cannot.

And if you don't believe me about the dispensational error here is what the 'experts' say.

The most significant argument against thebiblical interpretation system of dispensationalism is that it fragments the unified message of Scripture by postulating a fundamental distinction between Israel and the Church, leading to an inconsistent interpretive method and a denial that Christ and the New Testament are the culmination and fulfillment of Old Testament promises. 

 

Critics, primarily from the covenant theology perspective, raise several specific points:

 

·         Disunity of Scripture: Dispensationalism is accused of "chopping up" the Bible into distinct, self-contained "dispensations" (periods of time where God tests humanity under specific rules), which obscures the overarching, continuous story of God's single plan of redemption through Jesus Christ that spans the entire Bible.

·         Separation of Israel and the Church: A core tenet of dispensationalism is a hard distinction between national/ethnic Israel and the Church as two separate peoples of God with different promises and destinies (one earthly, one heavenly). Critics argue that the New Testament presents the Church as the spiritual "Israel of God" and the continuous people of God, where the wall between Jew and Gentile has been broken down in Christ.

·         Inconsistent Hermeneutic: While dispensationalists advocate a "plain" or "literal" interpretation, especially for prophecy, critics point out this is applied inconsistently. For example, when the New Testament interprets an Old Testament prophecy (like the rebuilding of David's tabernacle in Acts 15) as being fulfilled spiritually in the Church, dispensationalists may label this an "application" to maintain the need for a future literal fulfillment in a physical Israel. This leads to a complex system rather than a "plain" one.

So, having established that the dispensational system is faulty, when in the end times does the rapture occur? God in scripture tells us It occurs at the day of the Lord.

 

That you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 2 Thes 2:2

 

And when in the end times does the day of the Lord occur? God clearly tells us it begins after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood.

 

The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. Acts 2:20

 

And the sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood after the Sixth seal is opened.

 

12 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

 

13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

 

14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

 

15 Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

 

16 and they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

 

17 for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Rev 6:12-17

 

Therefore, the rapture and the day of the Lord occur after the sixth seal has been opened. Take note that in the scripture passage above the men of the earth hide because they see Jesus. That is exactly what happens at the rapture, Jesus is seen in the clouds and men hide. And after the rapture God’s wrath begins to be poured out upon the earth, which is exactly what the passage above says will happen—for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

 

According to the ‘experts’ the last 7 years begins with the peace treaty, I agree, but their man-made erroneous dispensational system does not allow them to recognize that the last 7 years began on 10/13/2025 with the signing of the peace treaty with the many, and it also forces them to deny the fact that the rapture occurs at the day of the Lord after the opening of the sixth seal.

And since the last 7 years have begun, this is what we have to look forward to in the next 3.5 years—by the spring of 2029—we should see Seals 1 to 5 occur; a conquering world force, nuclear world war, a hyperinflationary financial collapse, a 25% population drop, the ‘coming on the scene’ of the UFO connected antichrist, the strengthening of the peace treaty, a rebuilt Jewish temple, the abomination of desolation, the mark of the beast, and the antichrist war of persecution against Jews and Christians. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

2032: The World as We Know It ENDS Here (Video)

  

I know what’s coming and I don’t want people to suffer, that is the reasoning behind this video and much of what I do. Hopefully this video will help many wake up.

https://youtu.be/j5QJ7BqE0u0

 

In case you would rather read the info instead of watching the video, here is the text.

 

One of the most pondered questions in the history of the world is; ‘when will the world end?’ God makes it quite clear in the Bible that the world as we know it will come to an abrupt end. And I am going to show you data that suggests that the end of the world will occur in the year 2032. 

Before I show you the data, first let me define what I mean by the phrase, ‘the end of the world.’

 

The Bible tells us that there is a 7-year period, sometimes referred to as “the last 7 years” or "the end times" or "Daniel's 70th week" or “the tribulation,” marked by significant global turmoil and God's judgments upon the earth, which is followed by the end of the world.

The end of the world is when Jesus returns to earth at His second coming at the battle of Armageddon. This is then followed by the millennial kingdom where Jesus will be the King over the earth for 1000 years. Thus, the end of the world is when Jesus returns to the earth, the battle of Armageddon occurs, and the millennial kingdom begins. The return of Jesus to the earth is what I mean by the phrase “the end of the world.” 

Take note that I am not setting a date for the rapture. Let me plainly state that Jesus told us that no one knows the day or hour of the rapture. We only know that it occurs after the opening of the Sixth seal, which occurs somewhere in the second half of the last 7 years.

 

 

Here is the data that leads me to believe that 2032 is the year that the world will end, the year that Jesus will return to the earth. 

One of the most famous and highly anticipated end times events that prophecy watchers throughout the ages have been waiting for is the Daniel 9:27 peace treaty. 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:27 

Many believe that the signing of the peace treaty with the many will be the event that begins the last 7 years. I agree and also realize that the signing of the treaty or covenant with the many, will not only begin the last 7 years, but will also occur 2520 days, which is 7 prophetic years of 360 days each, before the end of the world. 

 

I am also fully convinced that since Jesus fulfilled the Jewish spring feasts with major prophetic events at His first coming that He will also fulfill the fall feasts with major prophetic events at His second coming. 

So, based on those parameters we are looking for a peace treaty that is signed with the many 7 years or 2520 days before a fall feast.

 

And that is exactly what just happened; the peace treaty with ‘the many’ was signed on October 13, 2025, which is 2520 days before Rosh Hashanah in 2032, which occurs on September 5, 2032. This signing of the peace treaty on that specific date screams to me that the last 7 years has begun and thus the end of the world will be in 2032!

 

 

Thus, I am not predicting a date for the end of the world, but I am stating that the last 7 years has begun in 2025 and therefore it must end 7 years later in 2032. 

And why don’t most people recognize that the last 7 years has begun? Because they erroneously believe the rapture will begin the last 7 years, and since the rapture has not occurred, they reason that we cannot be in the last 7 years now.

 

 

However, if one realizes that God tells us in scripture that the rapture will not occur until after the sixth seal is opened, then yes indeed we can be in the last 7 years now! See the article, The Sixth Seal Rapture, for a full explanation of why the rapture will not occur until after the sixth seal is opened.

 

 

Another reason most people do not recognize that the peace treaty of prophecy has been signed, and the last 7 years has begun is because they believe that the treaty will have a 7-year term. I agree that it will last for 7 years for scripture says; ‘the covenant with many for one week.’  Think about this; if the peace treaty with the many is signed at the beginning of the last 7 years, then how long will it last? The obvious answer is 7 years, thus fulfilling the 7-year requirement. 

Another reason most people do not recognize that the peace treaty of prophecy has been signed, and the last 7 years has begun is because they believe that the treaty must be signed by the antichrist. However, a more accurate interpretation based on the Hebrew verse tenses yields the following as explained in the prophecy book The Coming Epiphany.

 

Quote: So, an analysis of the Hebrew brings out the fact that, when the antichrist is revealed and comes to power in the midst of the 70th Week, the peace treaty will already be in effect and “he,” the antichrist, will merely confirm and or strengthen it. Thus, a more accurate translation of the verse would read: “And he will strengthen the covenant that was made with many for a week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” 

So if the antichrist will not be the one to make the peace treaty, who is? The Hebrew rendering of this verse tells us the peace treaty will be made with “the many.” This suggests that the treaty will probably be the result of an effort by many nations. End quote. 

Therefore a more accurate translation of Daniel 9:27 indicates the peace covenant is made with the many and strengthened by the antichrist in the midst of the last 7 years.

 

Thus, the peace treaty that was signed with the many on October 13, 2025, meets all the qualifications of the parameters of the Daniel 9:27 peace treaty, and thus I declare that the last 7 years has begun. 

And based on the last 7 years beginning on October 13, 2025 and other number parameters given to us in scripture here is a chart that I developed displaying a chronology of important end times events.

 

Now let me show you the other pieces of prophetic data that support the hypothesis that the end of the world will be in 2032. 

According to the chart, the calculated date of the midpoint, when the antichrist will take over the world, is March 25, 2029. Scripture tells us that he will rule the world for 3 and a half years, or 42 months, or 1260 days from the midpoint to Armageddon. 

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Revelation 13:5

 

After the midpoint of the last 7 years is also the time when the antichrist will institute the mark of the beast financial system, where no one will be able to buy or sell without receiving ‘the mark’ in his right hand or forehead. 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16,17 

Thus, in order for the mark to be issued there must be a digital financial system in place first. And one of the most powerful, ‘in the know’ people in the world, Christine Lagarde, just gave us crucial information in this regard. She said the digital currency will be functional in 2029.

 

Her information about 2029 and the digital currency fits right into the 2025 to 2032 end times chronology that places the midpoint and mark of the beast in 2029. 

Another piece of data was just given to us by Grimes, Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend, who is another person, ‘in the know.’ She told us that there is a population drop coming soon.

 

After the opening of Seal 4, which occurs in the first half of the last 7 years, there will be a population drop—1 out of 4 will die. 

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Revelation 6: 7,8 

Thus, her telling us that the population drop is near, lets us surmise that Seal 4 is also near, supporting the hypothesis that we are in the last 7 years now.

 

So, we have two ‘in the know’ people giving us vital information that confirms that the last 7 years has begun and thus the end of the world will be in 2032. 

Would you like another confirmation? Take out a dollar bill and look at the back. What if I told you that the date that the antichrist will take over the world is encoded on the back of a dollar bill? Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘the best place to hide something is in plain sight?’ Well, that is exactly what I believe they did. They hid the date that the antichrist will take over the world on the most common piece of paper in the entire world—on the back of the dollar bill.

 

I will not go into all the details in this video but using numbers on the dollar bill we can calculate the year that the antichrist will ascend to the throne, which the dollar bill depicts with the all-seeing eye capstone hovering over the pyramid. Here is the calculation from numbers encoded on the dollar bill.

 

13 times 19.47 = 253.11 years, added to 1776 brings us to 2029, which according to the chart is the year that the antichrist supposed to take over the world. Thus serving as another confirmation of our hypothesis, that the end of the world will occur in 2032.

 

For more information about encodings on the dollar bill, including other dates, and a hidden map, see the post; The Code Has Been Cracked! The Year the Antichrist Takes Over the World is Encoded on the Dollar Bill!.

 

 

The next piece of data supporting the hypothesis that the world will end in 2032 is what I consider to be the most important, it concerns a celestial sign. 

God has told us in His Word that He would put signs in the heavens. 

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Genesis 1:14

 One of the best examples of a celestial sign foretelling of a prophetic event is the famed star of Bethlehem that let the entire world know of the birth of the Messiah. 

But only a few wise men recognized and heeded the sign, I wonder why?

I will now present a specific interpretation connecting an astronomical observation to a precise prophetic date. This particular sign, or celestial configuration, will only occur once since the birth of Jesus and points to a calculated day for a major prophetic event. The proposed date for this event—specifically the time when the false messiah, or antichrist, will rise to global power—is March 25, 2029—the calculated midpoint date from our 2025 to 2032 chronology chart. Here is the sign.

 

Notice that we see a very close and rare triangulation of Mercury, Venus and the sun in Pisces above the tail of Cetus. And not only is it a close triangulation, but on that day, they form an Isosceles triangle.

 

We also see Saturn over the eye of Cetus. In order to grasp the prophetic significance of this celestial arrangement, let’s first consider the esoteric meanings of the celestial objects involved.

 

The Sun represents the false father god satan, the prince of the power of the air, the god of this world

 

Venus the bright and morning star represents the false messiah

 

Mercury known as the messenger planet represents the false prophet

 

Saturn with its hexagon pole represents satan.

 

Cetus represents the beast that rises up out of the sea which is the infamous coming New World Order.

 

The devil, the antichrist, and the false prophet are the three entities in the end times that will comprise the false trinity and will rule the world for 3 and a half years.

 

The appearance of these celestial bodies, which represent the demonic trinity, in this configuration has profound prophetic implications which is discussed fully in the article; A Once in the History of the World Heavenly Sign Declares the Date the Antichrist Will Take Over the World!

 

Are there any verses in the Bible that point to 2032 as the year of the end of the world? Yes there is. Check this out. Hosea 6:2 says after two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. And second Peter 3:8 says But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 

Putting the two verses together tells us that since one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, that after two days or two thousand years Israel will be restored to God, and will live in His sight in the third day or in the third 1000 years, which is the millennial kingdom. 

And since Jesus left in 33 A.D., and He will revive Israel when He returns after two days or 2000 years, with year one as 33 AD places His return in 2032.

 

That is the prophetic data that leads to the conclusion that the end of the world will occur in 2032. In summary, we have a peace treaty signed with the many on October 13, 2025, which is 2520 days before Rosh Hashanah in 2032 partially fulfilling the Daniel 9:27 prophecies and fulfilling the parameter that the end of the world aligns with a fall feast.

 

And then with day one of the last seven years as October 13, 2025, we can calculate other events during the last 7 years. The calculated midpoint, day number 1260, when the antichrist will take over the world and institute the mark of the beast is March 25, 2029. 

Christine Lagarde told us that the digital currency will be functional in 2029, which fits the scenario that has the mark of the beast coming about in 2029. 

Grimes told us that a population drop is coming soon which supports the hypothesis that we are in the last 7 years now and Seal 4 is near to being opened. 

The encoded date on the dollar bill indicates that the antichrist will come to power in 2029.

And we have a once-in-history of the world celestial sign that indicates the false messiah will begin his global reign precisely at the calculated scriptural midpoint. This marks the start of his prophesied three-and-a-half-year rule on Earth. 

We also have the prophetic two days ending in 2032. 

Thus, all of this prophetic data leads me to declare we are in the last 7 years now, and the end of the world will be in 2032! 

And based on that assertion what can we expect to happen next? By the spring of 2029 we should see Seals 1 to 5 occur which consists of a conquering world force, nuclear world war, a hyperinflationary financial collapse, a 25% population drop, the ‘coming on the scene’ of the UFO connected antichrist, the strengthening of the peace treaty, a rebuilt Jewish temple, the abomination of desolation, the mark of the beast, and the antichrist war of persecution against Jews and Christians. 

In light of all of this information I hope you realize that you need to prepare for what lies ahead. For our rescue via the rapture will not occur until after the opening of the sixth seal. 

And after the rapture, is when it gets really bad on the earth, for that is when God’s wrath begins to be poured out upon the world. 

Do you want to be a part of the rapture and escape God’s wrath? The end times are knocking on the door and so is Jesus. He wants to save you; will you let him? Find out what you must do to be saved; God’s gift of salvation.
