- Sudden
birth pains:
The tribulation begins suddenly and unexpectedly.
- The first
3 1/2 years
start with the beginning of the Antichrist's effort of wold conquest,
which helps plunge the world into the deadliest wars in history,
followed by the resulting famines, disease, persecutions, and
complete breakdown of the old world order.
- The Temple
will be rebuilt and
worship on the temple mount will resume as the
tribulation begins.The last week of years that Israel has left
to prepare the holy of holies for the Messiah.
- The Antichrist comes to power in
this turbulent time as a skilled politition. He is given control
of the world's economic and political systems by the 10 nations
in hopes that he can bring peace. He takes over Israel and destroys
Jewish and Christian worship around the world.
- The Mark
of the Beast,
666, on the forehead or right hand is instituted to force absolute
allegiance to the one world government/religion. Anyone who does
not carry this mark cannot buy or sell. It may consist of three
pentagrams.
- 144,000
Jews are
sealed by God as a protection from the plagues and violence during
the duration of the tribulation. Israel is taken into the the
wilderness for the second 3 1/2 years, "On the wings of
a giant eagle."
- Oil is
the key
. Oil has become the life blood of the world's economies.The
Antichrist will likely gain broad power by controlling much of
the world's oil supply, as well as the internt , banking, satellite
systems, and nuclear weapons.
- The Gospel
preached to all nations is a requirement before the end comes.The
Great Commission will be completed as the Gentile world overwhelmingly
rejects Christ. God will then turn back to the Jews to do His
will.
- The General
Tribulation
covers the entire 7 years.
- The Great
Tribulation
is the second 3 1/2 years.
- The Day
of the Lord
begins when Jesus Christ returns.

- The
Sixth Seal
- The
Six Trumpets
-
- The
Wrath of of Satan
-
- Satan
falls to earth
-
- First Trumpet:
Hail of fire
- tail of comet strikes earth. 1/3 plants die in the resulting
fires.
- Second Trumpet: Fiery mountain hurled into
sea (1st comet fragment) - 1/3 sea life dies.
- Third Trumpet: Satan falls to earth as the
comet Wormwood - 1/3 rivers are poisoned.
- Fourth Trumpet: 1/3 heavens darkened by smoke
and fires of the impacting comet.
- First Woe
- Fifth Trumpet: Star (Satan) opens the abyss.
5 months of torture by locusts.
- Second
Woe
- Sixth Trumpet: 200 million man army kill
1/3 of mankind (another 1.5+ billion people).
-
-
- The second
3 1/2 years start
with the Abomination of Desolation: The Antichrist invades Israel
and sets himself up as god in the temple in Jerusalem, eliminating
all Jewish worship around the world. He occupies Jerusalem for
3 1/2 years.
- Satan
is kicked out of heaven in the spiritual war that develops as a result
of the bold and effective preaching of the Gospel in the face
of extreme persecution.The visible manifestation of Satan's fall
to earth is the comet "Wormwood." The 1/3 destructions
are Satan's trademark.
- The Saints
are conquered
by the Beast but Christians who endure to the end of the tribulation
will be "saved", that is, raptured when Christ returns.
- The Great
Harlot,
Christianized Rome, embodied by the western countries, will hand
power over to the Beast but will be betrayed by him in a single
day of fiery destruction.
- The World's
armies
move to invade Israel.The kings of the east send a 200 million
man cavalry into the middle east, killing 1.5+ billion people
along the way.
- Man will
become scarcer than gold. The seven years of the Tribulation will result
in the death of almost 2/3 of the world's population, about 4
billion people. Several billion more will die at Armegeddon.
- The Two
Prophets
prophesying in Jerusalem are slain by the Beast and resurrected
after 3 1/2 days. This is the last major incident of the Tribulation
before Christ returns.
- The Sign
of the Son of Man
will appear in the sky announcing Christ's return. This may be
a supernova of the star Arcturus in the constellation Bootes.
Every person on earth will see Christ as He returns.
- The Rapture and resurrection
of the Church occurs at the seventh trumpet as all Christians
are caught up to meet Christ in the air. This is the first resurrection.
- The first
3 1/2 years ends
in death, the second 3 1/2 ends in resurrection = 7 years for
God's perfect plan.

leads them into Jerusalem and is joined by the 144,000 on Mt
Zion. Christ destroys the world's armies at Armageddon. Blood
will come up to the horses bridles for 200 miles as Christ slays
some 2 billion troops and saves Israel from annihilation.

the Beast, and his prophet are seized and thrown into the abyss for a thousand
years.
