galgalThe Great Tribulation should have its beginning from the 1st to the 16th of Nisan, which corresponds from March 26 to April 11 of this year.
Nisan 1 is the beginning of the sequence of months of the year.
Nisan 16 is the beginning and the end of the sequence of weeks in the bundle of prophecies of the book of Esther and the book of Daniel: 7 + 62 weeks (483 years) from the oral command of King Artaxerxes to the resurrection of Jesus Christ in 32 CE.
Nisan 11 corresponds to half a week counted in reverse order from the date of the 11th of Tishrei, when the countdown of the abomination of desolation associated with the non-acceptance of the Temple by Christians and Jews begins.
Any of these dates at the beginning of Nisan can be justified as the conditional border of the Great Tribulation. But this border can be approximate.
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)
"And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one."
(Daniel 9:27 - NASB)
Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him...
crown — crown, corona, diadem... There will be a lot of puns. For example, Ghebreyesus (HebrewJesus), WHO Director-General.
Medieval commentators saw the plague epidemic as the first horseman. Of course, there are two layers of meaning: material and spiritual. Material meaning can be an epidemic of coronavirus, spiritual refers to the Temple and the Second Coming.
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
(Zechariah 9:13,14)
Here, “Judah” is the Jews, “Ephraim” is the Christians, “lightning” is the event of the Second Coming expressed in the construction of the Temple and the assembly of the elect. This is also expressed in the image of the first rider.
The COVID-19 epidemic, according to Isaiah, will be annual: it will be in spring, summer, by autumn it will end, and every winter the epidemic will resume with renewed vigor.
... when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
(Isaiah 28:18,19)
