You were saying ...

What do you think of this simplified illustration?

Doncha love charts? ... :-) ... I do... They are useful to illustrate what a lot of words are saying. Sometimes those words are confusing, in grasping the overall picture, but a nice chart can do wonders to bring it all together.

Yes, that chart looks good from what would be considered the Dispensational viewpoint. And don't let anyone fool you as some others use "Dispensationalism" as a curse word ... LOL ...

See the following --

The teaching of Dispensationalim / Pastor Mark Hitchcock and Dr. Charles Ryrie

... at Post #329


And more specifically, I see in your chart, the Rapture of those who are "in Christ" (dead or alive) at the beginning of the Tribulation, the unsaved dead being held in Hades, awaiting the final judgment (the Great White Throne Judgement of Revelation 20), after the Rapture, I see the Judgement Seat of Christ (you'll hear some pastors referring to it as the Bema seat), and then there's the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (some put it in Heaven and others at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom), it shows the Millennial Kingdom, at the end of which is the Great White Throne Judgment. The interesting thing here is that there are two judgments shown in the chart, one being between the Tribulation and the Millennial Kingdom, which would be the Sheep and Goat Judgment (of the nations). It's probably of no big consequence but it shows that to be "bigger" than the Great White Throne judgment at the end of the Millennial Kingdom reign (just saying... no big deal, actually).

Then everyone who is at the Great White Throne Judgement does go directly into the lake of fire, as is indicated -- anyone whose name is not written in the Lamb's book of life, that being the "second death". And then we see the new Heavens and the new Earth, as all things are made new, as we are told at the end of Revelation.

It's a very good chart.
