There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people-everyone whose name is found written in the book-will be delivered.” Matthew 24:21  [*following the abomination] “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again.”   Additionally, Daniel 12:1 confirms that the rapture happens at the abomination because it mentions that those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be delivered, at that time.  In general, Daniel 12 is addressing the Jews because Gabriel makes reference to “your people” and he’s speaking to Daniel.  However, many Jews, over the last 2000-years, have accepted Jesus as the Son of God and become Christian.  That’s the only way for a person to get their name in the Book of Life.  Thus, even though Gabriel is referring to Daniel’s own people, he’s talking about the Christian rapture, which happens at the 6th Seal (Rev 6:12), which produces the “multitude from every nation”, in Revelation 7:9.    Of course, there is a 2nd group in Rev 7, which is the 144,000 Israelites (Jews), who are chosen or ‘sealed by God’, but they remain on earth through the Trumpet plagues and are martyred.  They are discussed further below, concerning the 1290 and 1335-days. The Holy People and Middle of Tribulation   The next verse that discusses the timing of Daniel 12 is verse 7 (below), which indicates that the “power of the holy people” will be broken after 3.5 years (a time, times, and half a time).  Daniel 12:7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."   In general, that is referring to the 1260-days (3.5 years) that the two witnesses prophesy.  When they finish their testimony or message, they are killed by the ‘beast’ (Rev 11:7), thus their ‘power is broken’ and the final events of Revelation can be ‘completed’.  Of course, the two witnesses arise, after 3.5 days, and ascend to heaven, which is when the 7th Trumpet sounds and there is another earthquake. (Rev 11:13)    As I’ve said on other pages, the antichrist is apparently injured, during the 7th Trumpet earthquake, after killing the two witnesses, because the false prophet takes over and does everything on his behalf, or in his honor. (Rev 13:12-17)  The false prophet is the one who tricks everyone with miraculous signs and forces everyone to receive the mark of the beast.  It apparently takes a period of 30-days, following the death of the two witnesses, for the false prophet to perform his miracles and enact the mark of the beast because Daniel 12 gives two distinctive milestones in the Jewish timeline.  Daniel 12:11-12 "From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.  Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.   Simply put, the 1290 and 1335-days are important milestones within the 2300-days of tribulation: from abomination and rapture to Armageddon (Daniel 8:13-14).  The two witnesses are killed by the beast on day-1260, so something significant happens 30-days after that, and then those who reach 45-days beyond that point are considered blessed.  I think it is pretty obvious that the ‘mark of the beast’ is enacted in Israel on day-1290, since the two witnesses are no longer there to stop him.  Then, the 144,000 are rounded up and martyred on day-1335, for refusing the mark (Rev 14), but that makes them ‘blessed’, since they will become priests during Jesus’ 1000-year reign on earth (Rev 20:4-6).  Granted, that means the 144,000 only have 45-days to refuse the mark, but that’s about the limit a person can go without eating, and I think that’s what Jesus meant when he said, “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.” (Matt 24:22)    After that, the Bowl plagues start (Rev 16), which are far worse than the Trumpet plagues.  Notice that the 1st Bowl plague mentions those who took the mark of the beast, where the Trumpet plagues did not, which agrees with the timing of this scenario.  The Bowls last about 3-years and complete God’s wrath on earth.
