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

The two witnesses have been suggested to be Enoch and Elijah because they never died {Genesis 5:24} ; {2 Kings 2:11} ; {Malachi 4:5} ; {Hebrews 11:25}. It is also possible that they are Elijah and Moses {Luke 1:17, 9:19, 9:30} because of their signs and powers of: fire, stopping rain from occurring {James 5:17}, water turned to blood, & smiting the earth with all plagues.

Two Witnesses upon completion of their ministry are killed (in Jerusalem) by the Anti-Christ, after 3&1/2 days are resurrected, and raptured to heaven.

CHAPTER 12) OVERCOMERS & SEVERAL OTHER RAPTURES: {REVELATION 2 & 3} ; {REVELATION 12:1-14:20}

The Overcomers, Man-Child, can't be Jesus since this is in a future period after 90AD when John wrote Revelation. Jesus lived to about 33AD. {Revelation 12:1-5, 13}

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 or raptured (from going through the Tribulation period) to God and His throne & rule together with Jesus for 1,000 years. {Revelation 2:26-27} ; {Revelation 3:21} ; {Revelation 19:13-15}

c) Pre-Wrath-Post-Tribulation Rapture:

d) Post-Tribulation Rapture:

f) No Raptures:

MULTIPLE RAPTURES OR PARTIAL RAPTURES: My belief, since this is only rapture doctrine that supports the use of all the end time scriptures.

1) Pre-Tribulation-Rapture: {Revelation 2-3; 12:1-5; 21:7} {2 Thessalonians 2:1, 6-9} Only Elected Man-Child, He, Overcomers

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. This group has some martyred and others raptured by God.

7) Start of Millennium - Unbelievers Raptured: {Matthew 13:30, 39-43, 49}

Anti-Christ, Beast {Revelation 13:1-10} ; {Revelation 16:13-14}

False Prophet, 2nd Beast {Revelation 13:11-18} ; {Revelation 16:13-14}

After completing their ministry, having God the Father's name in their foreheads, the 144,000 are in Heaven with Jesus {Revelation 14:1-5}. They are virgin man, they only know song, no guile, no fault, & are redeemed or raptured from earth as firstfruits unto God.

The Angel has the everlasting gospel to preach unto them on the earth, every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. If any man worship the beast and his image, receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, he shall drink of the wrath of God. They will be tormented with fire and brimstone ascendeth up for ever and ever with no rest day nor night. {Revelation 14:6-13}

DAY OF THE LORD: {REVELATION 16:14-16} ; {2 PETER 3:10-12}

The Day of the Lord is both a single day when Jesus comes a second time to saves Israel from her enemies. It is also a period of time at the end of the End Times which God judges the earth & heavens. The Day of the Lord is in many scriptures with different names {Isaiah 2:12, 13:9-10} ; (18 mostly Joel & Zephaniah); some 208 times 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 Great Day of God Almighty {Revelation 16:14-16}. The Jewish people also know it as Jacob's Trouble {Jeremiah 30:7} who will be delivered and saved out of it {Daniel 12:1}. Many Jews and Gentile believers are killed at the Armageddon war. They cry out to the Lord for help. God will restore and rapture many of His chosen people {Revelation's 12:17} (Woman remnant of her seed includes all Israel saved) as this Day of the Lord will come near the end of the Great Tribulation. The other period of time when judgments are on the earth and heavens is the Day of God {2 Peter 3:10-12} when God creates a new earth and heaven.

ARMAGEDDON WAR: {REVELATION 16:16}

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 (His second coming) and defect the Anti-Christ armies with all Israel being saved. This war has nations having a goal of destroying Israel and the Jewish people. God judges the nations and the peoples fighting in Israel and killing the Jewish people which Jesus second coming saves.

CHAPTERS 17-18) BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS: {REVELATION 17:1-18; 18:1-24}

BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF HARLOTS: {REVELATION 17:1-9} ; {REVELATION 18:1-24}

Judgment will occur on the great whore that sits upon many waters in which the kings of the earth committ fornication. The woman sits upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. On her forehead is the name MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The woman is drunken with the blood of the saints, prophets, and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. The mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carried her with the 10 kings, are seven heads of seven mountains, on which the woman sits. God wants His people to come out of her.

10 KINGS: {Revelation 16:13-16} ; {Revelation 17:10-18} ; {Revelation 18:1-24} ; {Daniel 7:24}

The ten horns are ten kings upon the beast as they give their power to the Anti-Christ who first subdues three of the ten kings. They are first under the control of the harlet woman of that great city but will later destroy her. They are sadden by the fall of the great city which suppied them. At Armageddon, they will fight against Jesus who will overcomes them.

CHAPTER 19) DAY OF THE LORD, JESUS 2ND COMING, ALL ISRAEL SAVED: {REVELATION 19:7-9, 11-21}

MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB: {REVELATION 19:7-9}

The marriage of the Lamb is come, Jesus wife hath made herself ready to be arrayed in fine linen, the righteousness of saints, clean and white. Angel saith: Write, Blessed are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb, which are true sayings of God.

JESUS SECOND COMING STARTS POST TRIBULATION: {REVELATION {19:11-21}

The second coming of Jesus as Lord and King, with His angels and saints, will occur at 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 at Armageddon. Jesus will come a few times for raptures groups where only that selected group will see Him: (2 Witnesses) {Revelation 11:12} & (144,000) {Revelation 14:1-5}. Jesus will come to Jerusalem where His feets shall stand upon the mount of Olives. It shall cleave in the midst forming a very great valley. Jesus will 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 the first to be sent to the lake of fire. Satan will be locked in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years punishment.

CHAPTER 20) JESUS REIGN’S 1,000 YRS - MILLENNUM / RESURRECTION & WICKED JUDGMENTS: {REVELATION 20:1-15}

MILLENNIUM:{REVELATION 20:3, 7}

God will raptures all the unbelievers and starts the 1,000 years with only Christians remaining. Jesus has His Jerusalem temple built to {Ezekiel 40-48} plans including the leveling of mountains to hold the temple mount for Jesus 1,000 year reign. Jesus will rule with the Overcomers and those believer's who lost their lives in the Tribulation period in Jerusalem. The average life is over 1,000 years during since most people will live until the end of the 1,000 years. Some people, however will die at 100 years old because of their sin. Even with a Utopian perfect government and paradise, on earth while Satan is locked up, sin will turns some people, born to the original Christians, into enemies of Jesus on His throne. Satan will be released and will tempt the offspring of the original Christians who started the 1,000 years. They will fight against Jesus & His saints in a last war. God fire will devoured the evil people.

GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT:{REVELATION 20:11-15}

Jesus will raise all the dead unbelievers. He will judge the unbelievers for rejecting Jesus as God's only means of righteousness by His death and resurrection. They will be judged at the Great White Throne from their book of works which does not measure up to God's righteous standards of not being written in the book of life for their works are not righteous. They will be punished with the 2nd death in the lake of fire.

RESSURECTIONS, RAPTURES, & FINAL JUDGMENTS: {REVELATION 14:9-10} ; {REVELATION 20:4-6}

There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust {Daniel 12:2} ; {John 5:26-29} ; {Acts 24:15}

Unbelievers are judged at their deaths or rapture and finally resurrected for judgment at the Great White Throne. They are first Judged for rejecting faith in Jesus and then their works are judged from their book of works which does not measure up to God's righteous standards of perfection. Angels as well as Nations are judged also. Believers are judged for their works not their faith in Jesus. The final judge to everyone and everything is Jesus {John 5:26-29}. Overcomer judgment, during the Millennium is to resolve personal disputes {1 Corinthians 6:1-7}.

LAKE OF FIRE PUNISHMENT: {REVELATION 20:7-10}

Jesus defects the Anti-Christ, Beast, and his armies (who worshiped the beast) and raptures the enemies (of Israel and Gentile believers) to be judges. The Anti-Christ and False Prophet are first to be cast alive into the Lake of Fire. The remnant were slain with the sword of Jesus. Satan is sent to bottomless pit for 1,000 years punishment. After he deceives the enemies of Jesus into the Gog Magog war and is defected, the Devil is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone.

ARMAGEDDON WAR: {REVELATION 16:16}

DAY OF THE LORD: {REVELATION 16:14} ; {2 PETER 3:10-12}

The Day of the Lord is both a single day when Jesus comes a second time to saves Israel from her enemies. It is also a period of time at the end of the End Times which God judges the earth & heavens. The Day of the Lord is in many scriptures with different names {Isaiah 2:12, 13:9-10} ; (18 mostly Joel & Zephaniah); some 208 times 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 Great Day of God Almighty {Revelation 16:14-16}. The Jewish people also know it as Jacob's Trouble {Jeremiah 30:7} who will be delivered and saved out of it {Daniel 12:1}. Many Jews and Gentile believers are killed at the Armageddon war. They cry out to the Lord for help. God will restore and rapture many of His chosen people {Revelation's 12:17} (Woman remnant of her seed includes saved Israel) as this Day of the Lord will come near the end of the Great Tribulation. The other period of time when judgments are on the earth and heavens is the Day of God {2 Peter 3:10-12} when God creates a new earth and heaven.
