Revelation 1:1-6 "Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: {2} Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. {3} Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. {4} John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; {5} And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, {6} And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

2) Smyrna: {Revelation 2:11} "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."

3) Pergamos: {Revelation 2:17} "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

4) Thyatira: {Revelation 2:26-28} "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. {28} And I will give him the morning star."

MESSAGE TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES

CHAPTER 4) OVERCOMER TYPE CHRISTIAN RAPTURE TO START TRIBULATION WHICH SHALL BE HEREAFTER: {REVELATION 4:1-2 ON 22:21

The Tribulation purposes are to bring Israel and Jewish people to the place that they recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Christ). To judge the Gentile nations and people for their sins against God (rejecting the gospel) and the Jewish people (exterminating Israel). To punish Satan, anti-christ, false prophet, with all those that follow them. God uses the raptures to remove people and groups out of the tribulations and many other events as show in the examples that follows.

Revelation 4:1-2 on 22:21 "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 shew thee things which must be hereafter. {2} And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."

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

The Matthew 24 scriptures are not in chronological order of time. The events of Matthew 24/Luke 21/Mark 13 are as follows: The beginning of sorrows period {Matthew 24:7-8} of wars and earth pestilences. The fig tree {Matthew 24:32-34} is a sign of of near start of End Times. The End Times has a 3&½ years periods for Tribulation {Matthew 24:29}. The first Tribulation 3&1/2 years has 2 sets of 7's - God's judgments (7 Seals) Revelation 5-6} and (7 Trumpets) Revelation 8}. The abomination of desolation {Matthew 24:15} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years Great Tribulation {Matthew 24:21}. The second Great Tribulation has (7 Vials/Bowls) Revelation 16}. God wrath on evil has many people killed (During the fourth seal ¼ of earth's people will be destroyed) Revelation 6:7-8}. God's wrath in Great Tribulation 2nd 3 & ½ years, has more than 1 billion people die. Over ½ earth's people die Revelation 16:1-4}. God will rapture His people out of some of those punishments and have His witnesses proclaim the gospel to saved many Revelation 7:3, 11:3-12, 14:6-11}. Anti-christ loses war to Jesus and is sent to lake of fire. God will rapture evil people from the earth. Jesus will be king over the earth for 1,000 years. God will resurrect both good and evil people. Several judgments nations, of peoples, and evil people will occur before God destroys this heaven and earth and creates a new heaven and earth.

For those who assumed Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures are in chronological order, I have included this in my paper. Pre-Wrath-Rapture Christians believe the Tribulation is the full Daniel 9:27 week or 7 years period. The first 3&1/2 years being the Beginning of Sorrows. They have the Great Tribulation being part of the last 3&1/2 years period and the Day of the Lord being the other part. The abominantion of desolation {Matthew 24:15/Mark 13:14/Luke 21:20} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years period. What follows in the Great Tribulation is the sun/moon.stars becoming dark and Jesus returned in the clouds with angels gathering the elect for rapture {Matthew 24:31/Mark 13:27/Luke 21:27} (See Pre-Wrath-Rapture). Luke 21 does not include the word Tribultion or Great Tribultation but uses days of vengence. All of this is assumed by making the Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures in chronological order. The Fig Tree parable {Matthew 24:32/Mark 13:38/Luke 21:29} is however not in chronological order here. I assumed an out of chronological order {Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21} scriptures assumptions. This approach, has a single rapture. If you study my paper, with most End Times scriptures, you can not agree with this single rapture during the 2^nd 3&1/2 yreas. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

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."

Habakkuk 3:17 "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:" Fig tree is Bible type picture of Israel which here is a failure, but rejoices in God nonetheless.

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. Also found in {Mark 13:8,10}. 1^st chronological order of time event.

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. Also found in {Mark 13:14} and {Luke 21:20}.4^th chronological order of time event.

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. Also found in {Mark 13:19} and {Luke 21:22}. 5^th chronological order of time event.

Matthew 24:29-31 "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. {31} And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." This event occurs before the abomination of desolation of the End Times Events when the Woman Revelationelation 12:1, 6, 13} John 3:16 Church is raptured. Also found in {Mark 13:24-27} and {Luke 21:25-28}. 3^rd chronological order of time event.

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. Also found in {Mark 13:28-31} and {Luke 21:29-33}. 2^nd chronological order of time event.

Revelation 6:12-13 "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; {13} And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind."

Revelation 7:14 "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." This is only reference to either Tribulation or Great Tribulation time period in the book of Revelation. The Great Tribulation is the last part of the three & half years of the End Times Events.

CHAPTER 5) JESUS WORTHY TO OPEN BOOK: {REVELATION 5:3-6} Start of Seal Judgments.

Revelation 5:3-6 "And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. {4} And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. {5} And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. {6} And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."

CHAPTER 7) OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION RAPTURE OR MARTYRED SAINTS; 144,000 – 12 TRIBES & RAPTURE: {REVELATION 7:3-14:5}

BELIVERS IN HEAVEN {Revelation 7:9-17} Came out of the Great Tribulation by pre-wrath rapture or by being martyred

Revelation 7:9-17 "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; {10} And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. {11} And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, {12} Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. {13} 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."

Near the end of the 1^st Tribulation – 3&1/2 years, God uses 144,000 Jewish man, twelve thousand from twelve different tribes, who are protected by God, to lead many Jews and Gentiles (Woman remnant of her seed) {Revelation 12:17} to the Lord during the End Times. They preach and witness righteousness for some of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods and then are raptured with many believers to God. These 144,000 are raptured to heaven {Revelation 14:1-5} and are blesses by God for their ministry to Jews and Gentiles.

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."

Revelation 9:13-21 "And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, {14} Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. {15} And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. {16} And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. {17} And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. {18} By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. {19} For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. {20} And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: {21} Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."

7th TRUMPET {Revelation 11:14-19}

7th Trumpet 3rd Woe {Revelation 11:14-19} This 7th trumpet 3rd woe begins the great tribulation period vial judgments

Revelation 11:14-19 "The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. {15} And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. {16} And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, {17} Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. {18} And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. {19} And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."

CHAPTER 10) JOHN IS FORBIDDING TO WRITE: {REVELATION 10:4, 11) John is told to hid the end-times prophecy as he must again ministry to the people of his day

Revelation 10:4, 11 "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. {11}And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

CHAPTER 11) MID-TRIBULATION START OF GREAT TRIBULATION: {REVELATION 11:1-11:12}

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, and offers sacrifices to himself, making an image of himself, ain the Jerusalem temple.

Abomination of Desolation {Revelation 11:1-2} Anti-christ in Jerusalem Temple as a god sacrificing to himself.

Revelation 11:1-2 "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. {2} But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

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.

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 12:9-12 "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.

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.

Rapture of the John 3:16 Church after 3&1/2 years first Tribulation period

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."

Two Witnesses {Revelation 11:3-12} Two: Witnesses, Olive Trees, and Candlesticks

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. In the end, they are killed, resurrected and raptured to heaven.

Revelation 11:3-12 "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. {9} 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."
See my paper: "Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks" for more information on this subject.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Genesis 5:21-24 "And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: {22} And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: {23} And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: {24} And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

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.

Matthew 17:10-11 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? {11} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things." Reason for Elias being one of the two witnesses.

Luke 9:30 "And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:" This is why some believe that these are the same two witnesses in the End Times.

Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Since Enoch and Elijah never died, they may be the two witnesses who are killed by the anti-christ.

Hebrews 11:5-6 "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.{6} But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

CHAPTER 12) OVERCOMERS & SEVERAL OTHER RAPTURES: {REVELATION 12:1-14:20}

The Prophet John wrote Revelation about 90-96 AD. This paper addresses multiple raptures. From the Revelation 12 viewpoint, this starts with these three believers groups: Man-Child (Elected Overcomers on fire Christians), Woman (John 3:16 Church), & Remnant of the Woman's Seed (Tribulation and Great Tribulation Jewish and Gentiles Believers).

The Man-Child is the Elect 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 will rule 1,000 years with Christ (with a rod of iron) when Jesus is on His Jerusalem New Temple, earthly 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 by God, but goes through half the End Times period before being Mid-Tribulation raptured. The Woman – John 3:16 Church goes through 1260 days of Tribulation. The Church delievered the Elected of fire Man-child who is Pre-Tribulation raptured. This group is protected and supplied by God for 1260 days even from attacks by Satan before she is 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 ministry efforts of the two witnesses and 144,000 Jewish believers.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

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." Does not compare with Revelation 12:1 A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

1) Ephesus: Revelation 2:7 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."

2) Smyrna: Revelation 2:11 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."

3) Pergamos: Revelation 2:17 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

4) Thyatira: Revelation 2:26-28 "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. {28} And I will give him the morning star."

5) Sardis: Revelation 3:5 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

6) Philadelphia: Revelation 3:12-14 "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."

7) Laodiceans: 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."

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." The remnant of the Woman's Seed goes through much of the End Times Events and is the Jewish & Gentile Tribulation Christians.

Revelation 7:14-17 "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." The remnant of the Woman's Seed either raptured in the pre-wrath rapture or dying during the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 12:1-3, 5-6, 11, 13-17 "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: {2} And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. {3} And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. {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. {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. {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. {13} 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. {17} And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

A) ALL RAPTURES - GENERAL CHURCHES RAPTURES DOCTRINES: There are six views on the rapture:

a) PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured before the Tribulation begins). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

b) MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured between the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

c) PRE-WRATH-POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured near the end of the Great Tribulation period). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

d) POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured as the Great Tribulation ends). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

e) MULTIPLE RAPTURES OR PARTIAL RAPTURES: (my view). The only view that support the many scriptures on raptures that supports Pre, Mid, Pre-Wrath-Post, & Post Tribulation scriptures. This also supports special raptures: 2 Witnesses, 144,000, All Israel Saved, 2nd Coming pre-Millennium, and Judgment, Resurrection scriptures raptures.

f) NO RAPTURES: General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures.

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

Raptures: The word rapture is not found in Bible. Judgments/awards may occur to the person who is raptured. Translation of peoples to heaven/hell/earth include: Enoch {Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5}, Elijah {2 Kings 2:1, 2:11}, Jesus {Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, Acts 1:9}, Phillip {Acts 8:39-40}, Paul {2 Corinthians 12:2-4}, John {Revelation 4:1-2}, Overcomers/Man-Child {Revelation 2:26-27, 3:21, 12:5}, John 3:16-Church (Women) {Revelation 12:6}, Tribulation-Saints {Mark 13:24-27, Revelation 12:17}, Post-Tribulation Pre-Wrath {Revelation 7:9-17}, 144,000 {Revelation 7:3-8, 14:1-5}, 2 Witnesses {Revelation 11:3-12}, Israel {Psalms 50:3-5, Jeremiah 30:7, Daniel 12:1}; All Believers {Matthew 24:30-31}, & All Unbelievers {Matthew 13:30, 39-43, 49-50}. The first Resurrection {Revelation 20:5-6}, Second death {Revelation 2:11, 20:5-6}

Other Scripture words for rapture: Caught Away/Went Up: {2 Kings 2:11}; {Acts 8:39}; {2 Corinthians 12:4}; {1 Thessalonians 4:17}; Revelationelation 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, Revelation 12:9}; 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}

B) MAN-CHILD:

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

Isaiah 66:7-8 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. {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."

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 with Jesus.

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.

C) PRE-TRIBULATION-RAPTURE:

Overcomer Christians caught up from going through the Tribulation period. 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.

D) 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.

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 in End Times.

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.

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.

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.

The rapture of the Overcomers: Man-Child - the "He" is taken out of the earth which starts the End Times Events? The Church is referred to as the body of Christ who is male.

E) WOMAN - JOHN 3:16 CHURCH MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE:

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 by God, but goes through half the End Times period before being Mid-Tribulation raptured.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

1 Corinthians 12:3 "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost." The Holy Spirit can not be the HE since if He is removed no one can call Jesus Lord. This is a clear Pre-Tribulaion-rapture scripture of the He (group) to be taken out of the way not being the Holy Spirit. He can not be Holy Spirit or no one could be saved after He is removed.

Ephesians 1:22-23 "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, {23} Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." The Church is referred to as a male (Jesus) and can be the He.

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 Elect who when they are raptured will allow the Anti-christ to come and start the Daniel 9:24-27 70^th week, 1^st half 3&1/2 years, End Times events.

Revelation 12:1, 6, 13 "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 and threescore days. {13} And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child." 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. The Woman (John 3:16 Church) God cared for her 3&1/2 years, 1st Tribulation period then I assume she is raptured.

F) PRE-WRATH-POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: After the Mid-Tribulation at the opening of the 6th seal.

Pre-Wrath-Rapture Christians believe the Tribulation is the full Daniel 9:27 week or 7 years period with the Great Tribulation being the last 3&1/2 years period. The abominantion of desolation {Matthew 24:15/Mark 13:14/Luke 21:20} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years period. What follows in the Great Tribulation is the sun/moon.stars becoming dark and Jesus returned in the clouds with angels gathering the elect for rapture {Matthew 24:31/Mark 13:27/Luke 21:27}. Luke 21 does not include the word Tribulation or Great Tribulation but uses days of vengence. All of this is assumed by making the Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures in chronological order. The Fig Tree parable {Matthew 24:32/Mark 13:38/Luke 21:29} is however not in chronological order here. I assumed an out of chronological order {Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21} scriptures assumptions.

The Pre-Wrath-Rapture approach, has a single rapture. If you study my paper, with most End Times scriptures, you can not agree with only this single rapture near the end of the 2^nd 3&1/2 years. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

PERSON/GROUP: SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Joel 2:31-32 "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."

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."

Revelation 6:12-13 "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; {13} And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind." Gentile and Jewish Christians are saved as a results of 144,000 and 2 witnesses.

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.

G) GREAT TRIBULATION IS WRATH OF GOD: The Great Tribulation, 2nd three & half years of 7 years end times is the wrath of God against un-believers and not against the saints. The Pre-Wrath-Post-Tribulaions believers use the wrath of God as a basics for their theory.

PERSON/GROUP: 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."

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;"

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."

H) 144.000 MINISTRY & RAPTURE: Near the end of the 1^st Tribulation – 3&1/2 years, God uses 144,000 Jewish man, twelve thousand from twelve different tribes, who are protected by God, to lead many Jews and Gentiles (Woman remnant of her seed) {Revelation 12:17} to the Lord during the End Times. They preach and witness righteousness for some of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods and then are raptured with many believers to God. These 144,000 are raptured to heaven {Revelation 14:1-7} and are blesses by God for their ministry to Jews and Gentiles.

PERSON/GROUP: SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 7:3-4 "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."

Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Revelation 14:1-4 "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."Many people as voice from heaven, waters, thunder & harps

I) 2 WITNESSES KILLED, RESURRECTED, & RAPTURED:

The two witnesses are killed by the anti-christ and their dead bodies are left in the street for 3&1/2 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 to heaven in a rapture.

PERSON/GROUP: SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Revelation 11:3-12 "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. {9} 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. Jerusalem

J) DAY OF THE LORD:

a) 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 and Christians who will call out to God for help. Christ will return (His second coming) and defect the Anti-christ with the end result that all Israel will be saved. This war has the nations having a goal of destroying Israel and the Jewish people with Christians. God judges the nation and the peoples fighting in Israel and the Jewish people. Jesus second coming return is to fight against these nations and peoples to support Israel and the Jewish people with the results that all Israel is 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 17:14 "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

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 and his armies against God's people (mostly Jewish).

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"

b) DAY OF THE LORD – JACOBS TROUBLE:

The Day of the Lord is both a single day when Jesus second coming returns to saves Israel from her enemies and also 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} (18 mostly Joel & Zephaniah); many times (some 208) in the Old Testament as that Day, also the Day of Christ {1 Corinthians 1:8; Philippians 1:6, 10}; Day of the Lord Jesus {2 Corinthians 1:14}; Man's Day {1 Corinthians 4:3}; and is different than the Day of God {2 Peter 3:10-12}; Great Day of God Almighty {Revelation 16:14}; 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." All Israel saved.

Zechariah 14:1-4 “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. {2} 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. {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” Jesus second coming

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.

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?“ Earth and heavens destroyed.

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. This is 2^nd coming of Jesus to the earth with every person seeing Jesus return.

K) POST GREAT TRIBULATION:

a) JESUS SECOND COMING:

The second coming of Jesus as Lord and King, 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 second coming is to fight for Israel and the Jewish people. Jesus has come a few times for raptures groups where only that selected group saw Him – for examples: (2 Witnesses) {Revelation 11:12} & (144,000) {Revelation 14:1-5}.

See my paper: "Messianic Prophecies that Jesus Fulfilled" for more information on this subject.

L) UNBELIEVERS RAPTURED AT MILLENNIUM:

M) RAPTURES/RESURRECTIONS AT FINAL JUDGMENTS:

CHAPTERS 12-13) TEN MEMBER CONFEDERATION FORMS = ANTI-CHRIST & FALSE PROPHET & SATAN: {REVELATION 13:1-18}

The great dragon, old serpent, called the Devil, & Satan, which deceiveth the whole world {Revelation12:3-17} ; {Revelation 13:2, 4, 11} ; {Revelation 20:1-10}

Revelation 12:3-17 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. {4} And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. {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. {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. {7} And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, {8} And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. {9} And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. {10} And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. {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. {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. {13} 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. {17} And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Anti-christ {Revelation 13:1-10}

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} at the start of the Tribulation. The first Tribulation 3&½ years has 2 sets of 7's - God's judgments (7 Seals) {Revelation 6, 8} and (7 Trumpets) {Revelation 8-9}. 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 anti-christ {Revelation 17:1-17}. They fight again Jesus who overcomes them {Revelation 17:14} {Revelation 19:20}.

Revelation 13:1-10 "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. {3} 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. {6} And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. {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. {8} And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. {9} If any man have an ear, let him hear. {10} He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Daniel 7:7-8 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. {8} I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." A little horn

Daniel 7:20-27 "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. {21} I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; {22} Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. {23} Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. {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. {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. {26} But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. {27} And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."

Daniel 8:9-12 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. {10} And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. {11} Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. {12} And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered." A little horn

Daniel 8:23-25 "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. {24} And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. {25} And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." A king of fierce countenance

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."

Daniel 11:31-41, 45 "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. {32} And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. {33} And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. {34} Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. {35} And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. {36} And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. {37} Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. {38} But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. {39} Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. {40} And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. {41} He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. {45} And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."

2 Thessalonians 2:3-9 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {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, shewing himself that he is God. {5} Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? {6} 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,"

1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."

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.

False Prophet {Revelation 13:11-18}

Revelation 13:11-18 "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, {14} And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. {15} And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {16} 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."
