The devil, also called the serpent has established his standard of hell, and the scriptures have painted a vivid picture of the full power of this evil. Certain fallen angels have been reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day called “The days of Jacob's trouble.” And when the day of Jacob’s trouble arrives,
Revelation 9:1-2, The angel of the LORD is given the key to the bottomless pit. He will open its gates, and from it, smoke as from a great furnace; and from the smoke will come,
Verse 3, “Locusts upon the earth; and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.” These are demons in the form of locusts.
Verse 5, Men will not kill, but “Tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man.”
Revelation 9:14, and a sixth angel is told, “Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.” Over two billion people will perish.
Verse 16-17, “And the number of the army of the horsemen (that came with the four angels) were two hundred thousand thousand (200,000,000 of them):”
“I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.”
Revelation 16:13-14 “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world,”
In the days of Jacob's trouble, idolatrous prophets and unclean spirits will speak lies in opposition to Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. Revelation introduces the demons of hell, prepared by God for, “The great day of his wrath.”
How close to this disaster do you think we are? Your thoughts:
The Gates of Hell and the time of Jacob’s trouble begins.

How close to this disaster do you think we are? Your thoughts:
I believe we have a clue in Daniel 12:11, "From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate (is set) up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days (1290)"
So, when was the Daily sacrifice first taken away, and by whom?
2 Kings 24:12-13, "And Jehoiachin the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, ----- and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign." That would have been in 599 B.C., the eight years of Jehoiachin's reign. And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD," because the Ark of the Covenant and Mercy seat were of gold, Nebuchadnezzar most likely destroyed them because they are never mentioned again as being in the second Temple.
Now I believe Daniel established a formula for these periods to be made known. The formula can be found in Daniel 9:24, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins," The end of sins would take us to the last days. 70 weeks would be 490 days, each day = one year.
Using this same formula for Daniel 12:11-12, each day = one year. If the Vessels of the Temple were taken in 599 B.C. and the first year ended in 598 B.C., and 1290 represent years, that would take us to the year, 692 A.D. when the "abomination that makes desolate is set up. That would be the Dome of the Rock, a Muslim structure built on God's holy place, Mt. Moriah.
Daniel goes on to say in Daniel 12:12, that the Jews are to wait for another "thousand three hundred and five and thirty days (1335 years). Those who remain steadfast in the faith, will be blessed. 1290 + 1335 years = 2625 years. From 598 B.C., being the first year, 2625 years later, will take us to the year 2027. If we couple that with Hosea's prophesy, it will take us to October or November of 2027 A.D.
For you Jehovah's Witnesses: I am not using Pyramidology like Russel or Rutherford did, or comets, stars, horoscopes, visions or dreams. The above came from the Scriptures so don't start with your baloney calling me a false prophet.
