Michael Snyder7 Year Apocalypse

I sometimes think looking into my dreams is silly, but lately its hard to ignore them. Especially when I feel like the world does have a disappearing population. On the MIN that the author runs, he spoke about disappearing workers, and it just makes you really think if something odd is going on.This book was written so beautifully and I got it a while back when it was released. Reading it today (July 2022) makes some of the things much more relevant. I never thought anything close to ww3 would or could happen, I thought that was all fear mongering, but I dont know, it seems like it could happen with whats going on with Ukraine and Russia.With everything that can happen, I just feel like it is my job to stay behind, idk why I feel that way. I figure someone might need help, whoever it is. And I'm sure those who read the book know what I mean when I say "staybehind." That's just how I feel for some reason.I just want to also add that Zerohedge introduced me to this website/author as well.Both ZH and MIN are my goto websites.I really hope another book by this author will come out soon. No pressure to rush, but I am kinda wanting to hear more and more.God bless you all.

He could have used a better editor, however Snyder has done a great job representing a variety of teachers sharing end times doctrine, great interfaith book that finds balance and doesn't give preference to one denominations ideas over another.

This is a must read book for the days we live in now and for what is coming in the very near future to us living on this earth. For the Christian this book helps us to enter the great battle with persevering faith knowing that all these things are temporary. God promises to empower us in the hard to stand strong as we trust in him. It brings out bible truths that are almost never talked about. Scripture is the backbone of this book. Not opinions or conjecture. It may be a hard read for those that are set on believing the teachings of man instead of really delving into what the bible says. Things were brought to light (using scripture) that I never thought of; like the Two Witnesses timeline and many other things.For the non Christian this book gives a clear warning of the horrendous days ahead and what you need to do to prepare for eternity. No one knows when their last day is. This life is temporary, the Bible calls our life a "vapor". What you do with Jesus will determine your destiny.Let us share this book with anyone we can...For Such a Time is this

I've read several of Michael's books but this one is going in the trash. 2 Peter 3:16 - as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures (NKJV). He mixes truth with a lot of error. Also, he is wrong in the fact that there are religious organizations out there preaching the three angels' message. I came across a broadcasting company called 3ABN that has series dealing with the end time.Make no mistake about it, in the end, it will come down to your relationship with God (prayer, bible study) and whom you worship. Man's laws (Sunday worship) or God's Law (Sabbath worship/Saturday). He is right that great tribulation is coming.The author reminds me of Jeremiah 14:14 and Jeremiah 23:21.For me, all creditability was lost when he quoted Hal Lindsey (Left Behind Series) which preaches dispensationalism. It proposes that the rapture of the Church will occur at the secret coming of Christ, before the Antichrist rules the earth for a seven-year tribulation period.The Ryrie Study Bible says that the seven-year tribulation period "is the 70th week of Daniel and is therefore of seven-years’ duration" (Daniel 9:27).iThis statement illogically separates the 70th week from the preceding 69 weeks. The seven years are placed over 2000 years into the future, to the time of Antichrist. A prophecy referring to Christ is twisted to refer to the Antichrist instead.By stating that the Antichrist is an individual, dispensationalism ignores the Bible. The Antichrist is more than an individual. 1 John 2:18 says, “even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” These “antichrists” came out of the Church as apostate believers. Eventually, this Antichrist power found a home in a geo-political religious system, the papal system. It has harassed the Church for centuries and is still a threat to believers in our time.We will be around when the 7 last plagues fall but just like the children of Isreal and the plagues of Egypt, the faithful will not be afflicted. Much of Daniel and Revelation is historic. The 1260 years for example was the papal rule and blood bath of the dark ages.The 70 week prophecy was all about the coming of Jesus. Using a day for a year - Numbers 14:34 / Ezekiel 4:6. Applying this principle to the 70-week prophecy will show that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah.Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (Daniel 9:24).“Thy people” were God’s chosen people Israel. Seventy weeks resolves into 490 days. Applying the day-year principle, 490 days become 490 years.The 490 years were appointed to the Jewish nation for these six reasons found in Daniel 9:24: 1. to finish the transgression 2. to make an end of sins 3. to make reconciliation for iniquity 4. to bring in everlasting righteousness 5. to seal up vision and prophecy 6. to anoint the most HolyThese six issues could only be fulfilled in and through the Messiah. Who else could make reconciliation for iniquity or bring in everlasting righteousness?Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.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 9:25-27).The angel gives a breakdown of the 70 weeks as follows:7 weeks of years for rebuilding of Jerusalem (verse 25)62 weeks of years to the Messiah (verses 25-26)1 week of years to the close of the period (verse 27)The 2300-day prophecy, of which the 70-week prophecy is a small part, was to begin at the command that effected the restoration of Jerusalem. This command went forth under King Artaxerxes Longimanus in the year 457 BC (Ezra 7:12-13).iiFrom this starting point, we can determine all the other time markers of the prophecy. Seven weeks were allotted for the restoration of Jerusalem. True to the prophecy, Jerusalem was rebuilt 49 years after 457 BC, which was 408 BC.Seven weeks (49 day-years) for the rebuilding of Jerusalem and another threescore and two weeks (62 weeks or 434 day-years) brings us to "the Messiah the Prince." Beginning in 457 BC and applying the day-year principle, we can determine the passing of 483 years from 457 BC which brings us to 27 AD (allowing for the conversion from BC to AD being one extra year).In 27 AD, Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit on the occasion of His baptism which marked the beginning of His ministry (Luke 3:21-23). This baptism marked the event in Daniel’s prophecy “unto the Messiah the Prince.” When Christ proclaimed, “The time is fulfilled” (Mark 1:15), He was referring to this part of the prophecy.iiiThe end of the prophecy is 34 AD, 7 day-years after the baptism:And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease (Daniel 9:27).Christ would confirm the covenant made with Israel for one prophetic week (7 years), but oblation (offerings) would cease in the middle of the week (3 ½ years after 27 AD). This mid-point brings us to 31 AD—the year Christ was crucified. It was at His death that he put an end to the system of offerings practiced by Israel for so many years.Some modern interpretations confuse the 70-week prophecy by applying it to the Antichrist, who (according to this interpretation) would arrive at the end of the Christian dispensation some time in the future.However, the prophecy in Daniel 9:26-27 has a chiastic structure, and if this is taken into account, the apparent confusion in its literary style is eliminated:And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 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.The chiastic structure is as follows: * a. Messiah destroyed * b. Sanctuary destroyed * b1. Sacrifice terminated * a1. Ruler destroyedVerse 27 has an additional chiasm: “he—week—week—he,” again emphasizing the role of the Messiah. It can thus be said that the destruction of the Messiah caused "the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." The Messiah would also confirm His covenant with God’s people by His sacrificial death “in the midst of the week.”John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, and Isaac Newton all connect the 70th week with the Messiah. When Christ cried “It is finished,” the priests were officiating in the temple. It was the hour of the evening sacrifice, and as the Passover lamb representing Christ was about to be slain, “the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake and the rocks rent” (Matthew 27:51).After Christ died, rose again, and ascended to heaven, there were still 3 ½ day-years remaining in the prophecy. These ended in 34 AD with the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:59-8:4). At that time the Gospel was given to the Gentiles by individual ambassadors from every nation. Paul, the very one who consented to the stoning of Stephen, became the apostle to the Gentile world. Israel ceased to be the recipient and channel of God’s truth.Pray to not be lead astray by false prophets.

I've read the reviews "A must read" and "A clear and concise and well sourced book about what we can expect in the near future" also "A required reading". They all speak the truth about Michael's book. I could not have done any better myself. Mr Snyder, in my opinion , is the foremost Christian writer on the soon to be witnessed "End-time Events". I've studied all the referenced Bible verses that he quotes. (for forty years) He is right-on. With no BS; just the truth as spoken from God's own lips. Mr. Snyder is an extraordinarily gifted gentleman who does not need to write books for a living. He writes them out of his love for our Lord Jesus Christ- with a desperate cry to help everyone come to a Saving knowledge of the Lord, and to learn how to conduct themselves accordingly- and to prepare for these "last days" events. Hear and heed! This is life and death, Heaven and Hell kind of stuff. Please!

I bought into a bit of the author's hype, that he was onto something new, et cetera. Author writes from a post-trib standpoint, which is where I stand as well. Other than that, there isn't a lot here that's really revolutionary or anything. It's a competently written eschatological piece that places everything competently in order. Steven Anderson's documentary After the Tribulation covers roughly the same ground, if you're looking for a free introduction to the content.I hardly regret giving a brother in Christ a bit of cash for his effort, though I'm a little resentful of the share of that that Amazon got, but whatever.

This book was far too depressing to read and just flicking through it on arrival, I decided not to read it. If you have anxiety, then reading this would be a trigger to just check out of a future. Some of the scenarios were “maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t” scenarios… perhaps there are times when “ignorance is bliss” and some things need to be left alone, and just take one day at a time!

For me it was kind of boring in places as I already knew some of the things being talked aboutBut for readers that are kind of asleep at the wheel then it gives you insight on whatis going on around us at this time.

I feel kinda stupid... How come I hadn't noticed before that in any of his articles I've read it all boils down to biblical prophecy? Well, according to Mike Snyder anyway. I had always perceived his articles as political commentary, an analysis of current events, based on journalistic research. So when I bought this book, I was expecting more of the same but instead was hit smack in the face with biblical prophecy. I don't think he made that very clear in any of his previous articles or the description of this book. I just felt a little cheated, duped, etc. My bad I suppose. I do think he should have been more honest and open about his motivations and disclosed that his writings are basically to support and inspired by biblical prophecy. I think it would have set the tone for this book more accurately.

The book wasn't as detailed as I'd hoped, although he did a good job of explaining his position on a post tribulation rapture. He also convinced me that the (great and terrible) day of the Lord is the millennial reign of Christ - great for believers, terrible for everyone else. The thing I found hard to stomach was his enthusiasm about the up and coming end of the world. It is hard to get behind this sentiment when the reader is constantly reminded that the odds of them dying horribly before Jesus's second coming are very high. Personally I would prefer not to be alive in those times given the horrible suffering described. Maybe this makes me less of a Christian. I think it would have been better if he'd have focused on God's promises to His faithful rather than dwelling on the terrible suffering we are to expect. I know he confirms modern churches for doing just this. I am not after a prosperity gospel, but what I do love to hear are the many stories of where God has come through for people. A few personal antidotes to that effect would have made the pill easier to swallow. My children like watching Torchlighters detailing the trials of famous Christians. I find the instants where God miraculously helps them to be very uplifting. Unfortunately after reading this rather than being inspired, I feel inadequate and depressed. I'm not sure this was the author's intent.
