End Times Power #3

By James Richard Webber

Introduction: Why This Matters

There is a question that has quietly troubled students
of biblical prophecy for generations, and it is this:

Where, exactly, do Ezekiel chapters 38 through 48
fit in the prophetic timeline?

This may sound like an academic puzzle best left to seminary classrooms. It is not. The answer has profound implications for how we understand the nature of Israel's covenantal relationship with God, the finality and sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, the meaning of the New Covenant, and the shape of events yet to come.

Every major school of prophetic interpretation has attempted to place Ezekiel 38-48 somewhere on the timeline - before the Tribulation, during it, after it, in the Millennium, or after the Millennium. As we will demonstrate carefully and honestly, every one of those positions runs into serious, sometimes fatal, theological and textual problems.

There is, however, a position that resolves these difficulties. It is what we are calling the Window-Gap - a period of time after the Rapture of the Church and before the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation.

This book will make the case for that position, not by forcing the text, but by following it with careful attention to what it actually says.

The question is not whether we believe Scripture.
The question is whether we have placed it correctly.

One foundational question deserves brief attention before we proceed. This book operates within the framework of a pre-Tribulation catching away of believers - what is commonly called the Rapture.

We recognize that this term carries baggage for some readers and that the timing of this event is genuinely debated among serious students of Scripture.

We do not attempt a full defense of that position here.

What we do note is this: Scripture establishes that the resurrection produces a spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:44). Revelation 7:9-14 places a great multitude in heaven wearing white robes at a point before the Tribulation's judgments have run their course.

Those robes require resurrection bodies to wear them. The presence of that multitude in heaven in glorified form before the Antichrist has completed his work is itself evidence that a resurrection and catching away has already occurred.

The argument of this book does not rest on that observation alone - but it is consistent with it,
and for readers who have questions about the Rapture we would simply say: follow the argument first, and allow the alignment of what follows to speak to that question as well.

Before we can understand where Ezekiel 38-48 fits, we need to understand two things: what these chapters actually describe, and what the theological requirements are for placing them at any point in time. We will take those in order.
