As previously posted, here is where I think we are in God’s timetable and Biblical Prophecy.
Well, we are between Daniel’s 69th Week (the death of Christ) and 70th Week (the coming Tribulation) and we are in the intervening 2000 years for the Time of the Gentiles which all signs show is quickly coming to an end. We are definitely in the End Times but not yet in the Seven-Year Wrath of the Lamb (the church will never been here for that (1 Thess. 5:9)).
However, notice that Scripture says, “In the last days I will pour out of my Spirit upon ALL flesh” (Joel 2:28). Now we know that, the Holy Spirit will be absent for the earth during the horrific seven -year tribulation (Daniel’s 70th week - even though during that time miraculously “all of Israel will be miraculously saved” (Rom 11:26)).
So when will God pour out his spirit on ALL flesh? NOW, before the Rapture, before the Tribulation. That’s another reason why I think we’re at the threshold of Luke 14:22-23, the last worldwide incoming of souls who will be spared from the unimaginable horror of what’s coming.
Well researched eschatology but with one other possibility, that the rapture will occur when the two witnesses are killed by the Antichrist but are resurrected after three days (Mid-Trib). The dead in Christ will rise first, then believers who are alive will be translated, blessed to have not experienced death.
Here the sequence of events listed in Revelation are not in chronological order. The seven seals are opened (Daniel’s sealed scroll), to prepare the way for the trumpets and vials of God’s vengeance. But the occurrence of the trumpets and vials overlap, drying of the Euphrates, 200 million soldiers from the East, etc, in quick succession when the Second Coming is near. The first 3.5 years will be a false peace as the two witnesses deliver their message for the world to repent. The second 3.5 years will be like hell on Earth. Men will seek death but it will flee from them. Still, those who do not have God’s mark on their forehead will refuse to repent of their sins.
I’ve seen a vision of the return of Christ, on a clear sunny day. The sign of Christ will be a great comet that the entire world will witness, bright enough to be seen during the day. The armies of the Sons of Light will ride on the comet’s tail. The sky and the sun will be darkened and the moon will turn to blood. Fire will consume the entire Earth as Christ’s armies defeat the sons of darkness. The animals will pant for lack of water. Then when all seems lost the entire Earth will be restored in an instant with green meadows and clear water, clear air, blue oceans teaming with life. All will rejoice and be satisfied and the animals will be safe. Jesus Christ will set up his kingdom on the Earth for a thousand years. But this is a great mystery.
I asked how long O Lord before your coming. A voice from heaven said “I have heard your prayers and have seen your tears.” “Therefore, as Hezekiah asked for more time, I have given 15 years to the inhabitants of the Earth to prepare for the end of days.” This vision was received in the fall of 2019 and the promise of an additional 15 years was received in the summer of 2020. Blessed are those who keep oil in their lamps, they will be ready.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
