I don't subscribe to the precise order laid out here, but I do agree with about 99% of it (I don't think we're at the 6th Seal ... yet). But PAY ATTENTION. Things are speeding up and are hurtling us ever faster (like a woman in labor) toward the great Tribulation! This is long list, but is of life-and-death importance:
Revelation in a nutshell...
- The Book of Revelation, written by the apostle John, describes his vision of the future and serves as a prophetic message for the end times.
- Rev 1:11 ….write in a book what you see and send it to the 7 churches which are in Asia
- Rev 1:19 write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter
- The majority of the Book of Revelation relates John's vision of a scroll that is written on both sides and then sealed. This is our timeline for future events.
- Rev 5:1 and I saw on the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with 7 seals
- Rev 6:1 and I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals …
- These 7 seals are opened in sequential order. After the 7th seal is opened, John sees a vision of seven angels with 7 trumpets. When the last of the trumpets is sounded, John observes how the 7 bowls of the wrath of God are poured on the earth.
- When the 7th bowl of wrath is poured out, Christ returns to earth with his saints and the Battle of Armageddon starts. The return of Christ is as the ruling King, different than His previous human life as "the Lamb of God," which was temporary.
Timeline of Events
Seal Judgements
First Seal Rev 6:1 The World Leader (Antichrist) comes on the global scene
Second seal Rev 6:3 Wars break out, followed by...
Third seal Rev 6:5 Hunger, famine, and massive inflation/financial collapse
Fourth seal Rev 6:7 Death from famine, war, disease, and wild animals
Fifth seal Rev 6:9-11 Massive religious persecution & death for Jews & Christians globally.
Sixth seal Rev 6:12 Enormous global earthquake, unlike anything the world has ever known.
Nothing and nowhere is exempt. Entire mountain ranges are moved out
of place; whole islands disappear below the oceans. Signs in heavens:
the sun turns black; the moon turns red, the stars fall to the earth; the
skies/heavens recede like scroll. At this point, there is so much chaos
unmitigated chaos upon the earth, everyone from the wealthy elite, to
regular and poor people try desperately to hide in caves, caverns, under
rocks, in bunkers and under/inside mountains. NONE OF IT WILL
WORK, and they will know the day of the Lord has come and that
their time is up, because they cannot run from the Lord!
The 144,000 Rev 7 144,000 virgin Jews of pure lineage from the original 12 tribes of Israel,
who believe in Yashua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah) are sealed
by God for ministry. All the wind of the world is held back by 4 angels
at the 4 corners of the earth
Seventh seal Rev 8:1-2 Silence in heaven for about half an hour - solemnity of
& Golden Censer acknowlegement of the horrors that the earth is about to have unleashed
upon it. An angel fills the censer with fire from the altar of God, and
hurls it to the earth, causing thunders, lightnings and another earthquake!
Trumpet Judgements
1st trumpet Rev 8:7 Hail and fire mixed with blood; 1/3 of the earth is completely burned up,
1/3 of the trees and ALL of the grass is burned up
2nd trumpet Rev 8:8 "Something like" a great mountain burning with fire is hurled into the
sea. This could very well be the meteor or asteroid Apophis--named
(as NASA names all space entities) for the serpent god--that NASA first
realized was headed toward the earth back in 2004, and is heading to
earth for a possible collision in 2029...if it misses us then, it swings back
around 7 years later to take a second whack at us in 2036!
3rd trumpet Rev 8:10 More things falling from heaven on earth, this time "a great star, burning
like a torch" falls to earth, and poisons (turns "bitter") 1/3 of the rivers
and springs of water around the world. The "star" is called Wormwood--
an infamous and well known word, which, in Russian, is "Chernobyl."
Many believe this may depict global nuclear war.
4th trumpet Rev 8:12 The sun, moon, and starts are all dimmed by 1/3; both the day and the
night will exist in some type of strange twilight, neither light nor dark.
An angel will be seen and heard flying through the air crying out 3
"woes" to the inhabitants of earth for the final trumpets that are about to
befall it!
5th trumpet Rev 9:1 The Abyss is opened. People without the seal of God (believers) on their
foreheads will be stung for 5 months by strange, demonic "locusts." Their
stings will be so painful that people will wish for death, and will no doubt
even try to take their own lives because of the pain, but death will elude
them. This time may intersect with science finally having the ability to
combine man and machine to the point that people now live in a type of
augmented reality where they can't die, even if they wanted to (AI and
augmented reality can create worlds where one can sense, feel, hear and
smell things that are so real, our brains will believe they are real).
6th trumpet Rev 9:13 An army of demonic warriors is assembled to kill mankind with plagues.
One-third of mankind is killed, yet mankind does not repent of its evil
and sinful deeds. During this time, God sends two witnesses to preach
and prophecy in Jerusalem. People hate them, and try to kill them, but
the witnesses call down fire from heaven to destroy those who try to kill
them. At the end of the 6th trumpet the two witnesses are killed by the
Antichrist. (Rev 11:7) Their bodies lay in the street for 3 days, and the
world celebrates their deaths, giving gifts to one another! After 3 days,
the witnesses are resurrected, and in full view of the world, are then taken
up to heaven in a cloud (just as Jesus was). There is another great
earthquake; 1/10th of Jerusalem is destroyed, 7,000 people are killed.
7th trumpet Rev 11:15 24 Elders--believers in Jesus who have been made Kings and Priests.
God remembers the fall of Babylon the Great. God's temple in heaven is
opened which causes more lightnings, thunders, another earthquake and
a severe hailstorm.
Bowls of Wrath
1st bowl Rev 16:2 Painful, festering sores erupt on those who take the Mark of the Beast.
2nd bowl Rev 16:3 All life in the sea dies. The sea becomes blood.
3rd bowl Rev 16:4 River and fountains of water become blood.
4th bowl Rev 16:8 The sun scorches men with fire.
5th bowl Rev 16:10 The sun scorches and burns people with its heat; then the Beast kingdom
is plunged into darkness. People bite their tongues in pain from the
sores of the Mark, yet they will not repent.
6th bowl Rev 16:12 Euphrates River dries up in preparation for 200 million soldiers to march
across it toward Jerusalem in the battle of Armageddon.
7th bowl Rev 16:17 God says "IT IS DONE!" and in so doing, again there are lightnings,
thunders, and the worst earthquake the world has ever known. It splits
Jerusalem into 3 parts, and the nations of the world completely collapse.
Every island sinksinto the ocean, and mountains are no more. Then huge
100 lb. hailstones rain down, yet still people do not repent! The Woman
who rides the Beast is captured and Babylon is destroyed.
Battle of Armageddon
Rev 16:16 At this point in time Christ returns to earth. Rev 19:14, Rev 20:4
Battle of Armageddon, where the "mighty men" of the earth take up arms
against Jesus Christ, in their vain attempt to defeat Him. He destroys these
armies, and the destruction is so vast, that blood comes up to the bridles of the horses being ridden and stretches for 7 MILES.
Rev 19:11-21 Beast and false prophet seized and thrown into lake of fire.
Rev 19:20 Satan chained
Rev 20:1-2 Satan is chained and thrown into abyss for a thousand years. Rev 20:2
The First Resurrection
Rev 20:4 Those killed by the Beast system (Tribulations saints) are resurrected.
Millennium Begins
The Millennium The 1,000 year reign of Christ's followers, with Christ, on earth. There is
now no night, no sorrow, no tears; Christ is THE light of the world! He
creates a fresh new virgin world again, and the new Jerusalem is the
world's new capital, complete with enormous shimmering walls, precious
gems and pearls for doors, roads paved with gold. Mankind has 1,000
years to live without the influence of satan in the world.
However, toward the end of the Millennium, Satan is let loose for a
short time; he again goes out to deceive humanity, and yet another war
ensues. The final defeat of Satan and his angels heralds the next event.
The 2nd Resurrection
Rev 20:11-15 The White Throne Judgment. People are resurrected to flesh and judged
according to their deeds.
