Time is Running Out. The 7-Year Tribulation MUST Start in 2025.

 

Posted May 11, 2025 | End Times Watch

In my studies of end-times, there has been so much clarity come to light concerning the writings of the New Testament. Each prayerful study of the pages reveal explosive truths of our Savior, and when He is planning on returning to the earth.

So, how can I make the claim that the tribulation period MUST start in 2025? Let’s let the scriptures answer that for me. I invite you to prayerfully study these writings:

6,000 Years of Earth – The Biblical Framework (KJV-Based)

1. The 7-Day Pattern (Genesis 1–2)

• Genesis 2:2 (KJV):
  “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.”

This 7-day creation week is seen typologically:

• 6 days of labor = 6,000 years of human history
• 7th day of rest = 1,000-year reign of Christ (Millennium)

This idea connects to:

• 2 Peter 3:8 (KJV):
  “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.”

So, many biblical scolars interpret the 7-day week as a “prophetic week”:

• 6,000 years of man’s rule
• 1,000 years of Christ’s rule = 7,000 years total

2. Millennial Reign of Christ

• Revelation 20:4 (KJV):
  “…and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

This 1,000-year period is considered the Sabbath rest of Earth, corresponding to the 7th day. This is the period of time referred to as the Millenium.

So, let’s break down the time of mankind from Adam until the end of the 1,000 year millennial reign:

Creation to Abraham = ~2,000 years

Abraham to Christ = ~2,000 years

Christ to today = ~2,000 years

Millennial Period = ~1,000 years

→ Total = ~7,000 years
 

This makes up the 7,000 years. But its 2025 now, and the return of Jesus Christ hasn’t happened yet…and it’s 2025! It is 25 years past the deadline…right?

Let’s continue to dig in the scriptures.

As we put this timeline together, we need to include a VERY IMPORTANT factor…The period of time that Christ was upon the earth. His time on earth was special, Godly, and beyond the normal period of life upon the earth. And these 33 years that He was upon the earth are not considered in this 6,000-year display of time.

Christ’s Time Doesn’t Count Towards the 6,000 years of Mankind Upon the Earth.

• Jesus’ earthly life and ministry was around 33 years—This time period is a kind of “pause” in God’s timeline,
• It’s a transitional period between the Law and Grace (Old Covenant and New Covenant), a HINGE connecting the two different gospel periods of time.
• So, it’s not counted in the 6,000 years of mankind’s rule. It is outside of this time frame.

This idea echoes the “prophetic pause” used in Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy (Daniel 9:24–27)—where the 70th week (7 years) is separated from the first 69 weeks and placed at the end times.

Daniel 9:24-27 (KJV):

24 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.

25 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.

26 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.

27 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.

This ties to a pattern-based view of history (6,000 years of man, 1,000 years of Christ’s reign = 7,000 years total). The one week or 7 years is the last 7-year period of mankind being upon the earth before Christ returns. (The 7-year Tribulation Period).

Verse 26 deserves clarification. I have provided additional insight for this verse at the end of this writing, but is not necessary to demonstrate the 6,000 year timeline that I am detailing, and might lead to a bit of confusion.

So, we know that Christ died and was resurrected when He was 33 years of age. To satisfy this timeline, do we just simply add 33 years to the 2000 years to get the return year of Jesus Christ? If we did that, He would return in the year 2033. But, hold on, there is one more factor to consider.

Jesus Christ was not born in 0 AD. Such a year does not even exist. The calendar goes from 1BC directly to 1AD. This time accounts for just 1 year of time. Additionally, Jesus was born sometime between 4BC and 2BC. (You can refer back to some of my writings on this blog for additional study findings regarding this matter).

If this is the case, the LATEST that Jesus would come back to the earth would be 2032. So, why do I say that the Tribulation period must start in 2025. That too is a simple explanation. The Tribulation period lasts for 7 years. 2025 + 7= 2032, and 2032 is the latest that Christ can return. Jesus died and was resurrected in 32AD. 2000 + 32= 2032.

2025 + 7 year Tribulation Period= 2032

We know that this Tribulation period of time has not started yet. We will know when it begins because of the 7-year peace agreement which will be signed bringing peace to Israel and allowing the temple to be built in Israel.

Now for those of you who would like to flex your knowledge of the scriptures and refer to the statement that “Nobody Knows when the Savior will come back”, I offer this for you to help understand what was actually said in those two scriptures:

Matthew 24:36 (KJV)
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”

Mark 13:32 (KJV)
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”

In both of these scriptures, it specifically states the Day and Hour that no man will know. It says nothing beyond that. It doesn’t say that we will not know the year or the season.

Matthew 24:32-33 (KJV)

“Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”

Jesus tells us in this scripture that we will know the Season of His return.

So, time is running out. Ironically, there is some very interesting action happening right now in the middle east. President Trump will be leaving in the next day or two to travel to the Middle East to meet with different leaders for “Discussions.” He has teased us last week stating that he has a major announcement for the world that he will reveal to us on Monday, May 12, 2025.

Things are getting very close to the Abraham Accord advancing, bringing middle east leaders to agree to a peace deal for Israel, allowing the building of the temple upon the temple mound in Israel.

So, why do I write these things with URGENCY? We still have 7 years until Christ returns. Do you know what happens in the 7-year tribulation? If you don’t… That is why I am sounding the alarm today…You NEED to know what’s going on during these next 7 years. Your faith and trust in Him need to rock solid so that you are not deceived.

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
— Matthew 24:24, KJV

___________________________________________________________________

For those of you who desire to understand Daniels Prophecy of 70 weeks further, here is a clarification of verse 26:

1. “Threescore and two weeks”:
   • A “score” means 20, so “threescore” is 60.
   • So “threescore and two weeks” = 62 weeks.
   • In biblical prophecy, a “week” often represents 7 years, not 7 days.
     • So 62 weeks = 62 x 7 = 434 years.
   • This is part of Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks, a timeline God gave for major events concerning Israel and the Messiah.
2. “Messiah be cut off”:
   • The word “cut off” means to be killed or executed.
   • This refers to the death of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who was crucified.
   • It happens after the 62 prophetic weeks (434 years) from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem.
3. “But not for himself”:
   • This emphasizes that the Messiah would die not for His own sins, but on behalf of others—a reference to Jesus’ atoning sacrifice for humanity’s sins.

In Summary:

This verse prophesies that 434 years after the command to rebuild Jerusalem, the Messiah (Jesus) would be killed, but not for His own wrongdoing—rather, for the sake of others. It’s one of the clearest Old Testament prophecies of the sacrificial death of Christ.

Time span to Messiah:

• 7 weeks (49 years) – rebuilding Jerusalem

• + 62 weeks (434 years) – leads to arrival of Messiah the Prince

• Total: 69 weeks (483 years)
