The Bible and the Future of the World

FutureMap (revised, January 23, 2005) by Ronald L. Conte Jr. A Timetable of Future Events based on the ebook, The Bible and the Future of the World

The Bible and the Future of the World finds in Sacred Scripture God's plan for the future of the Church and the world. Many specific and startling predictions of events in the near and distant future are revealed.

The following predictions and their dates are based on the ebook, The Bible and the Future of the World; however, this FutureMap does not appear in that book. It is only available on this web page. Please feel free to print out a copy of this web page for your personal use.

AD 2000 to 2039 -- The Forty Years, a period of 40 years during which the Church and the world will undergo very great sufferings and very great changes.

AD 2009 or 2010 -- The election of the Pope whom St. Malachy called “Peter the Roman”.

Late in the first decade of the 21st century -- God will give a special blessing to the Church and the world: The Day of Repentance (when everyone on earth will be given the opportunity by God to repent of their sins).

Late in the first decade of the 21st century -- God will give a special blessing to the Church and the world: The Day of Healing (when many people all over the world will be miraculously healed by God).

In the year 2009 -- The Jewish people will decide to build the Third Temple of Jerusalem. Also in 2009, Pope Benedict XVI suggests building three places of worship in Jerusalem, a Temple, a Church, and a Mosque -- so that these three religions can all worship in peace in the city of peace. He does not understand. This will not happen in the short term; instead there will be war.

In 2009 -- War among Arab nations will unite these nations under the leadership of Iraq and Iran. Iraq will invade and occupy Syria and other Arab nations.

In 2009 or 2010 -- Pope Benedict XVI dies and is replaced by the pope that St. Malachy calls "Peter the Roman."

2009/2010 -- The events described in the book of Revelation begin. These events are often called "The Apocalypse" -- however, this is not the end of the world. These events take many, many years to unfold.

2010/2011 -- A long and bloody war begins. After the War among Arab nations, the Arab nations will join forces. They will threaten and attack the United States. At some point in time, early in the war (probably 2010), they will strike New York City with a nuclear weapon. Next they will threaten and attack Europe. They will attack France and Italy and other countries. The Arab nations will be unstoppable. They will eventually conquer most or all of Europe and the northern part of Africa. This will be a war against nations and also a war against the Christian faith. They will burn churches and prohibit public Christian worship in the occupied countries. This war will last for many years. [This war is the First Horseman and the First Seal of the book of Revelation.]

About 2012 -- After the Arabs attack Rome, the Pope will be forced to flee Vatican City. He will be captured by the Arab soldiers and taken to Syria. He will be put on trial and an unjust sentence will be handed against him. He will be blinded and taken to Iraq to be emprisoned there. This Pope will die a martyr, in a prison in Iraq. This Pope will be the second pope after John Paul II. The one St. Malachi calls "Peter the Roman."

Summer of 2013 -- After the Pope is captured, the Allied forces will retake Rome and drive out the Arab forces. The victory will be short-lived. The Arab forces will use nuclear weapons to destroy Rome and Vatican City in July of 2013.

the 2010's to 2030's -- After the War, the Arab forces will occupy Europe. They will oppress and persecute the people of Europe, especially Christians and Jews. Things formerly called rights and freedoms will be resticted or not permitted at all.

the 2010's -- During or soon after the War, The Great Famine begins. It will be widespread by the mid 2010's, but may begin sooner. There will be famine and food shortages even in developed countries. Europe will be severely afflicted. Even the United States will be significantly affected. [This famine is the Third Horseman and the Third Seal of the book of Revelation.]

2020 to 2023 -- The Unification of all Christian Churches in one Catholic Church. The Great Famine will end upon the completion of this Unification, by the year 2023. Nothing whatsoever will cause the Great Famine to end until Christians repent and convert and unite in one holy Catholic Church. One sign, which will precede this unification, will be widespread conversions among Catholics to believe all that the Catholic Church teaches.

the 2030's -- The Great Martyrdom. There will be a severe persecution of Christians, especially in countries occupied by the Arab forces. Christianity will be illegal. Priests will be hunted down, tortured, and killed. Many, many Christians will be put to death. As the Holocaust was to the Jewish people, so this persecution will be to Christians. [This holocaust is the Fifth Seal of the book of Revelation.]

the late 2030's -- The Great Monarch will lead the United States and other free nations in a great and terrible war to free Europe from oppression and to end the killing of Christians in the occupied lands. His army will be unstoppable. This war will be shorter, but more horrible, than the war by which the Arab forces conquered Europe. The Arab armies will be driven out of Europe and conquered even in their own lands.

2038 -- At the end of the Monarch's War, a severe set of sufferings begin, which are described in the book of Revelation as the first six of the seven Trumpets (representing seven sets of afflictions which will come upon the earth).

2038 -- The first trumpet: many pieces of a comet, which is breaking apart, fall to earth. There is fire and destruction over about a third of the earth (Rev 8:7); this verse from Revelation talks about something like hail (which is frozen), but which burns with fire. A comet is frozen, and pieces of a comet plummeting through the atmosphere would burn with fire.

2038 -- The second trumpet: one large portion of that same comet remains and falls to earth, landing in the ocean and causing widespread destruction Rev 8:8-9). We see here how verses 8-9 are related to the previous verse.

2038/2039 -- See The Bible and the Future of the World for the interpretation of the other trumpets.

late 2039 or early 2040 -- The sixth trumpet: also called the Three Days of Darkness. About one third of the entire earth's population will be killed. Anyone who goes outside or opens a door or window to the outside will be killed.

AD 2040 and following -- A time of peace and prosperity. The Church will be one and will have great success in preaching the Gospel. Just laws will be made and the great monarch shall rule unopposed.

latter part of 21st century -- People will gradually fall into more and more sinfulness. Discensions and conflicts will increase around the world.

AD 2430 to 2437 -- The time of the Antichrist's reign and the time of great suffering for the Church on earth.

AD 2437 -- Jesus Christ Returns (This event is called the Second Coming).

AD 2438 to 2439 -- The last of the worldwide afflictions described by the Book of Revelation. The seventh trumpet, which is comprised of the seven bowls of God's wrath. The wicked are punished by God with great severity.

Soon afterwards ... The time of great holiness and peace over all the earth begins, which will last well over 1,000 years. This period of more than one thousand years is called the Millennium. At the beginning of the Millennium, Christ again Ascends to Heaven (Second Ascension) and again sends the Holy Spirit upon the Church (Second Pentecost).

After the Millennium ... Another conflict of good against evil, then a period of rebuilding and renewal.

Sometime after that ... the General Resurrection. At this time, Jesus Christ Returns again (some call this event the Third Coming).

And after that ... God takes away Heaven and Earth and makes a new Heaven and a new Earth.

And then ... Who knows?.............

Whew! Boy, I'm glad to know that Christ can't come back tomorrow, ushering the end times!

This "timeline" is nuts. We cannot know such things and the Bible tells us so.

"War among Arab nations will unite these nations under the leadership of Iraq and Iran. Iraq will invade and occupy Syria and other Arab nations. "



So much for establishing a peaceful democracy in Iraq...

That's right, and I don't see us becoming one united Catholic Church either. I wouldn't bet the farm on any of this being cut in stone. Some things could happen but I'm putting my trust in God, not in someone's opinion of what could happen. M

since i'm a protestant, that really threw me off the story (I was like oh this is more of the scare people into church tactics by the catholic church). At least it didn't go on about worshipping Mary.

This guy apparently had a motive in printing this stuff. I felt a check in my own spirit about it. Guess I won't be reading that book right along.

One United Catholic Church may not mean "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH". The word Catholic means "UNIVERSAL".

I know ... I'll probably oversleep that day ... or it will be announced on the television and I'll miss it because I'll be out doing yard work the whole day.

The Day of Repentance is something that occasionally comes up in Catholic prophecy. Some seers have claimed there will come a moment where God, in his mercy, allows everyone to see their sins in all their enormity, as He sees them.

This belief is neither approved nor disapproved by the Church.

why don't these Malachy/Nostradamus crackpots try predicting the weather for 2010, too?

I'd be impressed if they could get it right for next week :o)

a few chuckles tho: AD 2000 to 2039 -- The Forty Years, a period of 40 years during which the Church and the world will undergo very great sufferings and very great changes.

that's a pretty safe prediction. Name ANY 40 year period where this couldn't prove out. :O)

Also in 2009, Pope Benedict XVI suggests building three places of worship in Jerusalem, a Temple, a Church, and a Mosque -- so that these three religions can all worship in peace in the city of peace. He does not understand. This will not happen in the short term; instead there will be war

methinks the author doesn't like Benedict XVlll - he's already predicted he'll be dead by 2009-10 as there's a new Pope to be elected then. Were I Benedict Xvlll, I'd be watching my back - I've had that feeling ever since he was elected. He'd best watch his back - if he wants to last longer that John Paul l...

The Unification of all Christian Churches in one Catholic Church. The Great Famine will end upon the completion of this Unification, by the year 2023. Nothing whatsoever will cause the Great Famine to end until Christians repent and convert and unite in one holy Catholic Church.

So, ya wanna eat - better join the C Church. I can see the Evangelicans ans doing this. (not)
