END TIMES EVENTS - DAY OF THE LORD

INDUCTIVE BIBLE TOPIC STUDY

END TIMES EVENTS - DAY OF THE LORD

By Dennis Schmidt 9/2012

RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPER HOME PAGE.

This paper discusses the End Time Events, a time of tribulation for the earth where over one half of the earth's population dies. This is a seven year period of time, at the end of days. Some major events are: Several Raptures, Antichrist rise, Wars, All Israel saved, Jesus on His earth throne for 1,000 years, Judgments, Resurrections, and New earth/heaven. All scriptures are from the King James Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS: Scriptures shows that God has a plan for every age including later times, end days, for the earth & heaven.

THEME: The second coming of the Lord, with His angels and saints, will occur at the end of the seven year End Times. Jesus will win the Armageddon war; send the Anti-Christ and his False Prophet into the Lake of Fire. Jesus will put Satan in prison for 1,000 years. Finally, Jesus will remove the Unbelievers from the earth. The Believers shall form the group of people in the millennium which Jesus and the Overcomers shall rule with a rod of iron. Some of their offspring will rebel.

Zechariah 14:4 "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south." Jesus 2nd coming return will be to Jerusalem.

Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." Escape tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." Wait for Jesus to deliver us from wrath.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, {10} Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him." Jesus saved us so that we be forever with Him starting from our earth existence.

PURPOSE:

This paper and most other papers on the End Times must make assumptions in writing the papers. This paper start with the requirement that most of the End Times scriptures must be discussed & shown in the teaching. Some of these scriptures could be used for several End Times Events. Which event the scriptures are used for is not always clear. Many of the End Time Event scriptures do not occur in chronological order. Also, Revelation is the key book to show God's future End Times Events including several raptures in the End Times: Overcomers (Man Child), Church, 144,000, Tribulation-Saints, 2 Witnesses, Jesus 2nd coming unbelievers, & final war raptures.

Revelation 1:19 "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;" The seven churches extend to seven time periods and in each time period the seven churches exist even to our present day. Revelation 2 & 3 shows the Overcomers.

Revelation 4:1 "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter." This is a type of rapture. The Man Child (Revelation chapter 12) or Overcomers (Revelation Chapters 2-3) are pre-tribulation-raptured.

KEY VERSE:

Revelation 12:5 "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." Jesus and Overcomers' fulfill this.

Revelation 2:25-27 "But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. {26} And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: {27} And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father."Man Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who come back to rule.

Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." The Overcomers' will rule with Jesus.

Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Their life is centered on Jesus.

WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul

TO WHOM: Elected Christians, new end times believers, and believing Jews.

WHAT: God's plan is that mankind can not save themselves but must trust in God's salvation.

Psalms 4:3 "But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him." Set apart, sanctify, godly men, Overcomers, who live a godly life.

Isaiah 57:1 "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come." Take away men.

Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." Escape tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." Wait for Jesus to deliver us from wrath.

2 Peter 2:9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:" Deliver Overcomers before tribulation.

Revelation 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." God will keep Overcomers from temptation because they live in the deeper things of God.

WHY: What starts the End Times Events? The rapture of the Overcomers: the "He" is taken out.

2 Thessalonians 1:10-12, 2:1 "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. {11} Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: {12} That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. {2:1} Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and by our gathering together unto him,"

2 Thessalonians 2:6-9 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: {9} Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders," He is the Overcomers who when they are raptured will allow the Antichrist to come.

This is a clear Pre-Tribulation-Rapture scripture of the He (group) to be taken out of the way.

WAY: God's judgment during the last seven years end times tribulation period while still showing mercy on those who repent.

2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 "Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: {6} Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; {7} And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, {8} In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: {9} Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; {10} When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. {11} Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of <this> calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of <his> goodness, and the work of faith with power: {12} That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." God raptures the weak Church who is punished/suffering with 42 months of tribulation to count them worthy of kingdom of God

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" Jesus, truth, is only one righteous

Revelation 16:1 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth." Tribulation is God's wrath.

WHEREAS: These scriptures show the imminent return of the Lord. Jesus could return any time after His rapture. We are to be always ready & love His appearing which will be soon. This could occur for us by death or rapture. No future event was needed but Israel which God established in a day.

Isaiah 66:8 "Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." Israel became a nation again after 2,500 years in a 1 day vote at the United Nations.

Matthew 25:10 "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." See entire parable of Ten Virgins: Matthew 25:1-13 shows need to be prepared for Jesus return. John 14:3 Jesus prepares mansion.

Mark 13:32-33 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. {33} Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."The Church is to watch & pray for the soon return of Jesus for His 2nd coming.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. {2} For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. {3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. {4} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." Overcomers will be prepared for the day.

2 Peter 3:3-4 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, {4} And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." Until Jesus comes.

Revelation 3:3 "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee." Warning in church age to be prepared.

WHERE: In Israel and throughout the earth

WHEN: In the end days, last or later times, Day of the Lord, Jacob troubles, and tribulation period

Matthew 24:32-34 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: {33} So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {34} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."Israel is fig tree that is sign of soon coming of End Times.

Matthew 24:7-8, 14 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. {8} All these are the beginning of sorrows. {14} And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Beginning of sorrows events take place, including gospel preached to all the world, before the End Times Events start.

Matthew 24:15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" This event is in the middle of 7 years End Times & starts the second 3 & 1/2 years Great Tribulation period.

Matthew 24:21 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Last 3 & 1/2 years is the Great Tribulation worst ever.

WHILE: People live their lives as if nothing is going to change.

The rest of the Church is raptured (not Overcomers who have already been raptured). The Genesis 37:9 Jacob(sun)/Rachel(moon)/eleven stars bow down to Joseph scripture does not match the symbols in Revelation 12:1 sun/moon under her feet/on head 12 stars. The position of symbols is wrong & is not a symbol of Israel. The Woman is the Church which came out of Israel. The foundation is Jesus as source of light (sun). The Church reflected the light (as a moon). The Church came out of Judaism (the 12 stars) & has the Bible written by Jews as its guide.

Genesis 37:9 "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me." Compared to Revelation 12 they are different.

Revelation 12:1, 6 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: {6}And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred & threescore days." Woman is protected & leaves.

Revelation 12:13-16 "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. {14} And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. {15} And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. {16} And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth." Church is feed/protected for 42 months then leaves

WAIT: God uses 144,000 Jewish man to lead many Jews and Gentiles to the Lord during the End Times.

Revelation 7:3-8 "Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. {4} And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. {5} Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. {6} Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. {7} Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. {8} Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand." Protected

DIFFERENT DOCTRINES BUT LOVE IN JESUS:

The study of End Time Events & the rapture, in particular, are emotional issues. Each person has to settle these things in their own heart & mind. Let us remain as "Christian brothers and sisters" with a difference of opinion on End Time Doctrines. This study was done with a lot of help from my brothers in the Lord. I differ in some of the things I believe, but love my brothers in the Lord.

See my paper: "Love" for more information on this subject.

I) DEFINITIONS:

End Times-Day of the Lord: Eschatology; about 7,000th year; Starts with Overcomer's (Man-Child) being rapture

Raptures: Translation of peoples to heaven/hell/earth; Examples: Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, Phillip, Paul, John, Overcomers, Man-Child, Church, Tribulation-Saints, 144,000, 2 Witnesses, Israel; All Believers, & All Unbelievers. The word rapture is not found in Bible. Judgments/awards may occur to the person who leave. The first Resurrection & Second death is found in Revelation 20:5-6. Even the 2^nd Beast was Coming Up out of earth (Revelation 13:11);

Other Scripture words for rapture: Caught Away/Went Up: 2 Kings 2:11; Acts 8:39; 2 Corinthians 12:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 12:5; Taken/Took Away/Come Up/Out: Genesis 5:24; Isaiah 57:1; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; Revelation 4:1; Revelation 12:12; Changed & Raised: 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Delivered: Daniel 12:1; Gather Together: Matthew 24:31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1; Translated: Hebrews 11:5; Ascended Up: Revelation 11:12; Redeemed: Revelation 14:3-4; 1^st Beast = Anti-Christ Out of sea (Revelation 13:1); Devil to the earth from heaven {Isaiah 14:12); Sinners, False Prophet, and Anti-Christ to Lake of fire (Revelation 19:20); Devil to Lake of fire (Revelation 20:12); Unbelievers to Lake of fire (Revelation 20:15)

II) STUDY BUT CONCLUSION NOT KNOWN:

The word of God is not always clear on End Time issues. God sometimes hides some truths until a later time.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 12:4, 9 "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. {9} And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." For 2,500 years.

Revelation 10:4 "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not." Within The End Time Events period, truths are hidden.

III) END TIME ASSUMPTIONS:

My paper and most other papers on the End Times must make assumptions in writing the papers. I start with the requirement that most of the End Times scriptures must be discussed & shown in the teaching. Some of these scriptures could be used for several End Times Events. Which event the scriptures are used for is not always clear. Many of the End Time Event scriptures do not occur in chronological order. Revelation is the key book to show God's future End Times Events and includes multiple raptures such as: Overcomers (Man-Child) {Revelation 12:1-5}, weak believing Church {Revelation 12:1, 6, 13}, 144,000 Jewish missionaries{Revelation 7:3-8, 14:4-5}, Tribulation-Saints {Revelation}, Post-Tribulation Pre-Wrath {Revelation 7:9}, 2 Witnesses {Revelation 11:3-12}, Jesus 2nd coming for unbelievers (Jews /Gentiles) {Revelation 19:7-8; 1 Corinthians 15:50-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18}, & final war raptures {Revelation 20:5-6}.

See my paper: "Multiple Raptures" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 4:1 "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter." This is a type for rapture. The Man-Child (Revelation chapter 12) or Overcomers (Revelation Chapters 2-3) are Pre-Tribulation-raptured.

IV) REVELATION CHAPTER 12 THREE GROUPS OF BELIEVERS RAPTURES:

The Prophet John wrote Revelation about 90-96 AD. This paper addresses multiple raptures. From the Revelation 12 viewpoint, they start with these three believers groups: Man-Child (Elected on fire Christians), Woman (weak Church), & Remnant of the Woman's Seed (Tribulation Jews and Gentiles Believers).

The Man-Child is the Overcomer Christians who are living in the deeper things of God. God rewards them by caughting (rapture) them up unto God and His throne. The Overcomers of the churches rule 1,000 years with Christ with a rod of iron when Jesus is on His Jerusalem earthy throne. In no other scripture period of time do we see the Revelation Chapter 2-3 Overcomers scripture promises fulfilled.

The Woman does not match Israel scripture (Genesis 37:9) wording or type. I assumed the Woman to be the Church with a John 3:16 salvation message only. She has not gone into any of the deeper things of God. During the Tribulation she is cared for, but goes through half the End Times period before being Mid-Tribulation raptured.

The remnant of the Woman's Seed goes through much of the End Times Events and is the Jewish & Gentile Tribulation Christians being saved through the efforts of the two witnesses and 144,000 Jewish believers.

V) MAN-CHILD:

The Man-Child can't be Jesus since this is in a future period after 90AD when John wrote Revelation. Jesus lived about 33AD.

The End Times people who rule with a rod of iron scripture applies to Jesus and the Overcomers. The Man-Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who are caught up to God and His throne & rule together.

See my paper: "Overcomer" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 2:25-27 "But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. {26} And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: {27} And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father."Man-Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who come back to rule.

Revelation 12:5-6 "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.{6} And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Jesus (is not the Man- Child). Overcomer's fulfill this, but Jesus did not come out of church as he came by Jewish parents, Mary and Holy Spirit then Joseph.

VI) PRE-TRIBULATION-RAPTURE:

Overcomer Christians caught up from going through the tribulation. They will return later with Christ to rule with Him for the 1,000 years.

See my paper: "Multiple Raptures" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED: See Overcomer in: 1 John 5:4, Revelation: 2:7, 2:17, 3:5, 3:12, 21:7

Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." The Overcomers' will rule with Jesus.

Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Their life is centered on Jesus.

Revelation 19:13-15 "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. {14} And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. {15} And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God." Overcomer's (who are Pre-Tribulation raptured and return with Jesus) rules with iron rod.

VII) WHY DOES GOD REMOVE THESE OVERCOMER CHRISTIANS?

The Overcomer is set apart from the evil & temptations to come because they are a part of the elect who are worthy to escape God's wrath because they lived a godly/righteous life, prayed, & kept the word of God in patience.

See my paper: "The One God - The Shama" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Psalms 4:3 "But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him." Set apart godly men, Overcomers, who live a godly life.

Isaiah 57:1 "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come." Take away men.

Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." Escape Tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." Wait for Jesus to deliver us from wrath.

2 Peter 2:9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:" Deliver Overcomers before Tribulations.

VIII) END TIMES EVENTS BEGIN:

The rapture of the Overcomers: or Man-Child - the "He" is taken out starts the End Times Events?

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

This is a clear Pre-Tribulation-rapture scripture of the He (group) to be taken out of the way. He can not be Holy Spirit or no one could be saved after He is removed.

IX) END TIME EVENTS HAS A BEGINNING OF SORROWS/1^st - 3 & ½ YEARS TRIBULATION/2^nd - 3 & ½ YEARS GREAT TRIBULATION:

The events of Matthew 24/Luke 21/Mark 13 are as follows: The fig tree is a sign of of near start of end times. It includes the beginning of sorrows period of wars and earth pestilences. The end times has 2 sets of 3 & ½ years periods for Tribulation and Great Tribulation. With God wrath on evil with many of those people killed. God will rapture His people out of some of those punishments and have His witnesses proclaim the gospel to saved many. At the end of Great Tribulation period Jesus will be king over the earth for 1,000 years. God will also rapture evil people from the earth and resurrect both good and evil people. Several judgments of peoples, nations, and evil people will occur before God destroys this heaven and earth and creates a new heaven and earth. The Matthew 24 scriptures are not in chronological order of time.

See my paper: "God's Dispensation & Covenant Plans" for more informat4ion on this subject.

Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. {25} Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. {26} And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. {27} 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."

Matthew 24:15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" This event is in the middle of 7 years End Times and starts the second 3 & 1/2 years Great Tribulation period.

Matthew 24:21 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Last 3 & 1/2 years is the Great Tribulation worst ever period for God's wrath.

Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: {30} And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." This event occurs in the Great Tibulation in the last part of the three & half years of the End Times Events when all Israel will be saved.

Matthew 24:32-34 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: {33} So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {34} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." The fig tree is a symbol for Israel and is a sign of the near coming of End Times.

X) RETURN OF CHRIST WILL COME AS A THIEF (NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR TIME):

These scriptures show the imminent return of the Lord. Jesus could return any time. We are to be always ready & love His appearing which will be soon. This could occur for us by death or rapture. No future event was needed but return of Jews to Israel which God established in a day in 1948.

See my paper: "Jesus Two Comings as King" for more information on this subject.

See also Matthew 24:36, 24:43-44; 2 Timothy 4:8 (love His appearing)

Isaiah 66:8 "Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." Israel in 1948 became a nation again after 2,500 years in a one day vote at UN.

Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." Warning in Day of the Lord to be ready.

XI) TEN MEMBER CONFEDERATION FORMS & ANTI-CHRIST BECOMES LEADER:

The Anti-Christ on the rise to power is one of the kings as head of the ten kingdoms by Satan power {Revelation 13:1-4}. The first Tribulation 3 & ½ years has 2 sets of 7's - God's judgments (7 seals) {Revelation 5-6} and (7 trumpets) {Revelation 8}. During the fourth seal ¼ of earth's people will be destroyed {Revelation 6:8}. The Anti-Christ kills many believers (Revelation 6:9-11). At the sixth seal {Revelation 6:12-13}, the sun becomes black, moon like blood, and stars fall. Many people hide from the wrath of the Lamb {Revelation 6:15-16}. The trumpet judgments has 1/3 of earth burn, 1/3 of people killed by demon armies, and 1/3 (of sun, moon, and stars) darkened {Revelation 8:9-12}. Satan has the ten kings give their power to the beast or Antichrist {Revelation 17:1-17}. They fight again Jesus who overcomes them {Revelation 17:14}.

See my paper: "Antichrist" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 7:20, 24 “And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.{24} And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Revelation 13:1-2 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. {2} And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."Beast=Anti-Christ get power from the dragon, Satan; sea=nations or 10 kingdoms

Revelation 17:12-13, 16-17 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. {13} These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. {16} And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. {17} For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled." The Beast is the Anti-Christ who destroys the whore harlot or religious fake church system.

XII) ISRAEL MAKES A COVENANT WITH THE ANTI-CHRIST:

At the beginning of the 1^st Tribulation period, Israel makes a covenant with the Anti-Christ who allows Israel to rebuild her temple and start the sacrifices. After 3 & ½ years, the Anti-Christ brakes the covenant by sacrificing the abomination of desolation in the Jewish temple of an image of himself and stops the sacrifices.

See my paper: "Inductive Bible Study of Daniel" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 9:27 "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." Anti-Christ stops Israel's sacrifice & offers one to himself in temple.

XIII) ISRAEL BUILDS HER TEMPLE AND OFFERS SACRIFICES:

Israel, builds her temple & starts offering sacrifices during the 1^st Tribulation - 3 & ½ years. Anti-Christ ends sacrifice after 1^st Tribulation - 3 & ½ years and claims to be god (the abomination that maketh desolate) in the Jewish temple.

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 11:31 "And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."

Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."

Mark 13:14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:" (Also Matthew 24:15)

XIV) 144,000 JEWISH MISSIONARIES:

Near the end of the 1^st Tribulation - 3 & ½ years, God uses 144,000 Jewish man, twelve thousand from twelve different tribes, who are protected by God, to lead many Jews and Gentiles to the Lord during the End Times. They preach and witness righteousness for 42 months and then are raptured with many believers to God. See XXIV for these 144,000 raptured to heaven and are blesses by God for their ministry to Jews and Gentiles.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 14:1-7 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. {2} And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: {3} And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. {4} These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. {5} And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. {6} And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, {7} Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

XV) THE TWO WITNESSES PROPHESY FOR 42 MONTHS:

The two witnesses have been suggested to be Enoch and Elijah because they never died. It is also possible that they are Elijah and Moses because of their signs and powers of: fire, stopping rain from occurring, water turned to blood, and smiting the earth with all plagues. Whoever they are, God uses them as His witnesses and prophets for 42 months in Jerusalem. Many people receive their prophecy and repent, but most people rejected their witness and prophecies. See XXIII for end resurrection and rapture for these two.

See my paper: "Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Malachi 4:5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” Elijah may be one of the two witnesses.

Revelation 11:3-8 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. {4} These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. {5} And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. {6} These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. {7} And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. {8} And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." Jerusalem

XVI) 1 BILLION PEOPLE DIE AT 6th SEAL OPENING IN 1^st 3 & 1/2 YEARS TRIBULATION:

Both the 1st 42 months Tribulation period & 2nd 42 months Great Tribulation period have a very large number of people die in judgment. God's judgment at the End Times includes the sun, moon, & stars turning dark: 1^st Tribulation 6^th seal (Revelation 6:12-17). See XXIV and XLIV for two other times God turns the sun, moon, & stars dark. Sinners, in this first Tribulation period, will want to escape God's wrath and die, rather than suffering; but God will not let them escape His punishment. The sun, moon, & stars turning dark is a sign of God calling out of Tribulation, by raptures, of God's Jewish and Gentiles Tribulation saints.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 2:19-21 "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. {20} In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; {21} To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."

Luke 23:30 "Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us."

Revelation 6:8 "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." 1/4 of earth's peoples die.

Revelation 6:12, 15-17 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; {16} And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: {17} For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" The both Tribulation periods have billions of people die, followed by cosmic disturbances that produce fear in sinners that they want to die rather than face Jesus wrath in the day of Christ.

Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

XVII) ANTI-CHRIST DIES & COMES BACK TO LIFE:

After the Anti-Christ dies from a head wound, Satan heals the Anti-Christ's deadly wound. This puts fear into other kings of 10 kingdoms.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 13:3-5 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. {4} And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? {5} And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." 42 months of this power after the Anti-Christ become leader of 10 kingdoms.

Revelation 13:11-12 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {12} And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." This is the False Prophet who is the 2nd part of Satan's triune or spirit of triune Satan who promotes the Anti-Christ to be worshiped by the nations.

XVIII) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE:

The Abomination (image of Anti-Christ) of Desolation, with the rapture of the Church (woman of Revelation 12, John 3:16) starts the 2nd 42 months period of the Great Tribulation. The Anti-Christ brakes his covenant with Israel, stops the Israel sacrifices to God, offers sacrifices to himself, making an image of himself, and sets up his kingdom from Jerusalem temple.

See my paper: "Inductive Bible Study of Revelation" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."

Matthew 24:15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" Starts 2nd Great Tribulation.

Mark 13:14-16 "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: {15} And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: {16} And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment." When sign occurs, run to mountains.

2 Thessalonians 2:4 "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." Fake god.

XIX) MID-TRIBULATION-RAPTURE:

The weak believer's Church is raptured (Overcomers have already been raptured). Jacob(sun)/Rachel(moon)/eleven stars(brothers) bow down to Joseph {Genesis 37:9} scripture does not match the symbols in woman clothed with sun/moon under feet/on head crown with 12 stars {Revelation 12:1, 6}. The symbols are different then those for symbols for Israel. I believe the woman is the weak Church which came out of Israel. The foundation is Jesus as source of light (sun). The Church reflected the light (as a moon). The Church came out of Judaism (the 12 stars) and has the Bible written by Jews as its guide.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 "Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: {6} Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; {7} And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, {8} In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: {9} Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; {10} When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. {11} Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of <this> calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of <his> goodness, and the work of faith with power: {12} That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." God raptures the weak Church who goes through the 42 months of tribulation to count them worthy of kingdom of God.

XX) 2^nd 3 & ½ YEARS GREAT TRIBULATION:

God's wrath, 2nd 3 & ½ years, where more than 1 billion people die. Over ½ earth's people die. During the 2^nd Great Tribulation, God sends 7 vials judgments on the earth.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Matthew 24:21 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Last 3 & 1/2 years period is the Great Tribulation where God's wrath is worst ever period.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" Jesus, truth, is the only one righteous.

Revelation 16:1 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth." Great Tribulation is God's wrath.

XXI) ANTI-CHRIST KILLS MANY SAINTS:

Many saints are saved as result of the 144,000 & 2 witnesses evangelistic ministries. Anti-Christ killed many Christians.

See my paper: "Christian Growth" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Saints die during both Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods for their faith.

Revelation 6:9-11 "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: {10} And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? {11} And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." Other believers will be saved.

Revelation 7:9 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;" Save people are greater than 144,000 some raptured during the Tribulation and Great Tribulation.

Revelation 7:13-17 "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? {14} And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. {15} Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. {16} They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. {17} For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Saints will be killed by Anti-Christ and his armies who hate Jesus.

Revelation 12:11-12 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. {12} Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" Saved by their testimony.

Revelation 13:7 "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Anti-Christ success

XXII) ANTI-CHRIST AND HIS PROPHET CAUSE PEOPLE TO TAKE 666 MARK:

The Anti-Christ, False Prophet & Satan work to control all people during Great Tribulation period. No one can buy or sell without the 666 mark. God warns that having the mark means judgment.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 13:11-13 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {12} And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. {13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men," The unholy three are Anti-Christ, False Prophet, & Satan are a counterfeit for the true Triunity Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Revelation 13:16-18 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: {17} And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. {18} Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Anti-Christ number is 666 needed to buy & sell.

Revelation 14:9-10 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, {10} The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:" God warns not to take 666 number or be judged.

XXIII) TWO WITNESSES ARE KILLED, RESURRECTED, & RAPTURED:

The two witnesses are killed by Anti-Christ and their dead bodies are left in the street for 3 & ½ days. The people rejoice because they were torment by the two witnesses' preaching and power. The two witnesses are used by God to bring a number of Jews & Gentiles to Christ. The two witnesses and some saved people are called before Armageddon to heaven in a rapture. See XV for who these two witnesses maybe.

See my paper: "Resurrection" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 11:9-12 "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. {10} And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. {11} And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. {12} And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." They die, are resurrected, and are raptured.

XXIV) PRE-WRATH-RAPTURE:

Rapture of 144,000 Jewish men and both Jewish and Gentile saints, but other saints will be killed. This event occurs near the end of the 2nd 3 & ½ years Great Tribulation period before the Day of the Lord (God's worst wrath) when all Israel will be saved. There are three judgment periods that the End Times scriptures have the sun, moon, stars turn dark: 1^st Tribulation 6^th seal (Revelation 6:12-17) {See section XVI}, 2^nd Great Tribulation/Day of the Lord at end (Revelation 14:1-5; Isaiah 13:9-10) {See section XXIV here}, and when God destroys the Old Earth and Heavens/God creates a New Heavens and Earth (2 Peter 3:7, 10-13) ; (Revelation 21:1-5) {See section XLIV}. Other references: Jeremiah 4:23; Ezekiel 32:7; Joel 2:2, 10-11; 3:15-16; Amos 5:18; Zephaniah 1:14-16; Matthew 24:29-30

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 13:9-10 "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. {10} For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."

Isaiah 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain." New creation

Jeremiah 31:31-37 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: {32} Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: {33} But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. {34} And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. {35} Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: {36} If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. {37} Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD." This occurs at the Day of the Lord when all Israel is saved.

Joel 2:28-32 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: {29} And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. {30} And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. {32} And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call." Calls remnant near the end of 2^nd Great Tribulation.

Mark 13:24-27 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, {25} And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. {26} And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. {27} And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven." Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:25-28; Gathers together the elect (Jews and Gentiles) before the Day of the Lord great wrath of God.

Luke 23:30 "Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us." During the 1^st Tribulation period the unbelievers want to die rather than suffer God's wrath, but they can not die.

Acts 2:16-21 "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; {17} And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: {18} And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: {19} And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: {20} The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:" At the end of the 2^nd Great Tribulation.

2 Peter 3:7, 10-13 "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. {10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {13} Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." God's purification of creation was first by water (floods) will in the future save many before destroying the earth by fire. God will create a new heavens and earth for His saints which will be righteous by Jesus as its center.

Revelation 6:12, 16-17 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; {16} And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: {17} For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" The both Tribulations have billions of people die, followed by cosmic disturbances that produce fear in sinners that they want to die rather than face Jesus wrath in the day of Christ.

Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." This occurs during the first Tribulation.

Revelation 14:1-5 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. {2} And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: {3} And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. {4} These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. {5} And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God." 144,000 of Revelation 7:3-8 are redeemed by rapture as 1st fruits coming out of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation.

Revelation 21:1-5 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. {2} And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. {3} And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. {4} And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. {5} And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." It will have a new form (no sea).

XXV) ARMAGEDDON WAR:

Armageddon is the place where this war will occurred. It is in a large valley (Valley of Jezreel and Jehoshaphat meaning Yahweh judges) near Megiddo in Israel. The Anti-Christ soldiers will fight against the East and North armies in Israel killing many Jews who will call out to God for help. Christ will return and defect the Anti-Christ with the end result that all Israel will be saved.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Joel 3:2 "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land." Jehoshaphat meaning Yahweh judges.

Zechariah 12:3 "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Jerusalem will be a problem to nations until Jesus is king on the throne there.

Zechariah 14:2-3 "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. {3} Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle."

Revelation 16:14-16 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. {15} Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. {16} And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." The battle of Anti-Christ against God's people (mostly Jewish).

XXVI) DAY OF THE LORD:

The Day of the Lord is both a single day when Jesus returns to save Israel from her enemies and a period of time during the End Times which includes judgments on people, earth, & heavens.

The Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12, 13:9-10); many times (208) in Old Testament as that Day, also Day of Christ (1 Corinthians 1:8); Man's Day (1 Corinthians 4:3); and is different than the Day of God (2 Peter 3:10-12) when God creates a new earth and heaven. The Jewish people also know it as Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED

Daniel 12:1 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation <even> to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. {3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. {4} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

2 Peter 3:10-12 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?“

Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Jewish people had Jesus crucified or pierced.

XXVII) JESUS SECOND COMING:

The second coming of the Lord, with His angels and saints, will occur near the end of the seven year End Times Great Tribulation periods. The whole world will see Him. Jesus has come a few times for raptures groups where only that selected group saw Him.

God will remember in last days.

Psalms 50:3-5 "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. {4} He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. {5} Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." Israel has a covenant with God including sacrifices.

Israel shall see Jesus and mourn for lost time.

Romans 11:25-26 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. {26} And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:" All Israel saved.

Jesus defects the Anti-Christ, Beast, and his armies and raptures the enemies of Israel and Gentile believers to be judges. The Anti-Christ and False Prophet are first to be sent to Lake of Fire. Satan is sent to bottomless pit for 1,000 years punishment.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. {20} And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. {21} And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." Jesus wins the war and punishes the evil losers.

Revelation 20:2-3 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, {3} And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. {49} So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just" The unbelievers will be gathered, judged, & punished.

1 Corinthians 6:2-3 "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? {3} Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?" Christians to judge world/angel

2 Timothy 4:1 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;" Jesus will also judge world and angels.

Man Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who come back to rule.

Revelation 5:10 "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Saints are going to reign with Christ in Jerusalem on Jesus throne.

Revelation 19:15-16 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. {16} And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." Jesus will win the war & be king of earth.

Revelation 20:4-6 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” These rule with Jesus and Overcomers for 1,000 years.

Zechariah 6:13 "Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." He = Jesus on His throne in Jerusalem for 1,000 years.

XXXIV) MILLENNIUM LIFE:

Average life over 1,000 years during Jesus reign. People will live until the end. Some people because of their sin can die at 100 years old and they are call a child.

Isaiah 65:25 "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD." A perfect paradise will exist with Satan not able to tempt others.

XXXV) AFTER 1,000 YEARS, SATAN RELEASE AND MAKES LAST WAR WITH GOD:

Even with a Utopian perfect government and paradise on earth, sin turns some people born to original Christians, into enemies of Jesus on His throne.

A resurrection for both evil and good occurs.

Matthew 27:52-53 "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, {53} And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." A resurrection, for many dead, took place on the day of Jesus resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15:20-26 “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. {21} For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. {22} For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {23} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. {24} Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. {25} For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. {26} The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." Some will never die.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. {14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. {15} For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive <and> remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. {16} For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: {17} Then we which are alive <and> remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. {18} Wherefore comfort one another with these words." Asleep is dead to world but alive to God. Dead in Christ are resurrected or raptured first.

1 Thessalonians 5:10 “Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.”

Revelation 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." This is the 1^st resurrection which occurred after 1,000 year reign of Jesus.

XXXIX) BELIEVER'S JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST:

Only believers are judged, at the beamer seat of Christ, for their Christians works and lives that they lived. This is not for salvation but rewards. They receive their resurrected body and are translated to a heavenly reign with Christ.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Romans 14:10-14 “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. {11} For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. {12} So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. {13} Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. {14} I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; {13} Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. {14} If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. {15} If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." This is the judgment seat of Christ tests of the Christian's works.

2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." This is a judgment for believer's works not their faith.

2 Timothy 4:1 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;" Jesus will judge people alive and dead.

2 Corinthians 5:1-2 "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. {2} For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:" New body

Philippians 3:20-21 "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: {21} Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." New resurrected body like Jesus has after His resurrection.

Matthew 25:31-34 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: {32} And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth <his> sheep from the goats: {33} And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. {34} Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Punishment to nations that did not repent.

Matthew 25:40-42 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done <it> unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done <it> unto me. {41} Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" Judgment by not being a good steward.

Matthew 25:45-46 "Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did <it> not to one of the least of these, ye did <it> not to me. {46} And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Rewarded for doing what was correct.

XLII) ALL UNBELIEVERS AT DEATH, RAPTURE, RESURRECTION ARE JUDGED:

Jesus will judge the unbelievers from their book of works, & they will not measure to standards.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 26:19-21 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. {20} Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. {21} For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." Resurrection followed by award.

Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." The evil dead rise & are judged.

John 5:26-29 "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; {27} And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. {28} Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, {29} And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." Jesus will be final judge.

This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Man has tried to make himself righteous by his works and efforts. These are worthless.

Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

XLIV) OLD HEAVEN AND EARTH:

Old heaven & Earth destroyed by fire to purify and remove her sins. See XIV and XXIV for two other times God uses sun/moon/stars into darkness.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished." New heavens to receive righteous and saved people.

2 Peter 3:6-12 "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: {7} But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. {8} But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. {9} The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. {10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? " God's purification of creation was first by water (floods) will in the future save many before destroying the earth by fire. God will create a new heavens and earth for His saints.

XLV) MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB:

The Church is the bride of Christ who has made herself ready to be wed with Christ her groom.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Matthew 25:5-15 “While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. {6} And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. {7} Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. {8} And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. {9} But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. {10} And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. {11} Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. {12} But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. {13} Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”

Revelation 19:7-10 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. {8} And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. {9} And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God." The Church is God's bride to be.

Revelation 21:9 "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." We are the bride as His Church who will go to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

XLVI) NEW CITY & NEW LIFE FOR CHRISTIANS ON NEW HEAVEN & EARTH:

God is going to make a pure & perfect world for His believers to live in with Jesus as their king.

See my paper: "True Gospel for Salvation by the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 65:17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." God will clean and renew all things in His new world.

Isaiah 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain." Christians will be the new seed.

Romans 8:21-22 "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. {22} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." Creation shall be delivered.

2 Peter 3:6-13 "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: {7} But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. {8} But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. {9} The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. {10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {13} Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." God's purification of creation was first by water (floods) will in the future save many before destroying the earth by fire. God will create a new heavens and earth for His saints which will be righteous by Jesus as its center.

Revelation 22:5 "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever." New form: no sun

Revelation 22:10-12 "And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. {11} He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. {12} And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." The reward of eternal life to those with relationship to Jesus.

XLVII) TIME PERIODS OTHER THAN 1260 DAYS:

The Bible does not discuss what occurs during these time periods. It is only a guess. I included the final temple built, restoration of the land from wars, & judgment on evil men/angels.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 8:13-14 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? {14} And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." Clean

Daniel 12:9-12 "And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. {10} Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. {11} And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. {12} Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Concealed to the End Times.

XLVIII) CONCLUSIONS:

I have written a paper that contains most of the End Times Events. The many raptures differs from many other writers. My paper shows most of the End Times scriptures which is why many raptures must be included. The discussion of prophecy is always in question because God has not revealed all that He will do. I pray that the Lord Jesus, by His Holy Spirit, will open you to His End Time Events word so that you may be prepared.

IL) GOD TELLS OF HIS PLAN BEFORE IT OCCURS:

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 46:9-10 "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, {10} Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" God's plan is told in the scriptures about His End Times Events before they occur.

L) GOD'S PLAN: ALL POWERS DEFEATED FIRST:

Jesus will defeat His enemies and start the new heavens and earth with only Christians.

See my paper: "Man's Greatest Need - Relationship with God" for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "God Plans for His Purpose" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

1 Corinthians 15:24 "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power." God wins

LI) CHRISTIAN'S BE LIKE JESUS:

Christian's will look for this End Times, be part of it, and awarded in it.

See my paper: "One-In-Christ" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Ephesians 2:6-7 "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: {7} That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."God's grace rewards us with Christian walk & spirit life

Colossians 3:4 "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." We will appear with Christ in His glory in that day.

Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Christian's looks for Jesus second coming

Resurrection/death/judgment Scriptures

Luke 14:14 "And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just"

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. {12} Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; {13} Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. {14} If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. {15} If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."Lose reward

Isaiah 26:19-21 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:10 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. {14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. {15} For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. {16} For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: {17} Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. {18} Wherefore comfort one another with these words. {5:10} Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."All righteous with Jesus

Revelation 20:4-6, 12-14 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Final plan of God for all people - righteous or wicked.

Daniel 12:1-3 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. {2} And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame <and> everlasting contempt. {3} And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."All people will be judged. The wicked will go to hell.

John 5:28-29 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, {29} And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." Evil will be punish.

Revelation 20:10-15 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. {11} And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Jesus will fight the Anti-Christ for Israel. Jesus will win the Armageddon war, then send the Anti-Christ and his False Prophet into the Lake of Fire. Jesus will puts Satan in prison for 1,000 years. Finally, He will remove the Unbelievers from the earth. The remaining believers shall form the group of people in the Millennium (1,000) with Jesus and the Overcomers shall rule them with a rod of iron. Some of the believer's offspring will later rebel with judgment to some who die at 100 and with most others living for most of the 1,000 years.
