Hey RWC, hope you don’t mind my sharing my seven-part overview of where we’re headed for readers edification, exhortation, and comfort. (The blessing is worth the adversity.)

Here goes...

Soon I’ll be writing a book, “The End Times”. Good stuff, and very encouraging for believers. Many will be saved from the terror to come but many will not. There’s a train that will take us outta here. My job is to help as many as I can to get on that train that’s still waiting at the station.

Here’s a brief summary/overview of what is about to happen IMO:

1) Getting Ready for the Inevitable: The continued gradual coalition of forces and events leading to the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the even-year tribulation.

2) Final Countdown to the Great and Terrible Day: Before it all comes down, a shocking and surprising worldwide revival and incoming of souls to Jesus as God mercifully saves as many as he can from the unimaginable, horrific, and terrifying wrath to come fulfilling Luke 14:23 (Rev. 3:28).

2) The Great Catching Up AKA The Rapture of the Church: IMO, sometime in the last third or quarter of this century, the rapture of ALL who have received Jesus along with the exit of the Holy Spirit thus removing the power that withholds unbridled evil that will at this point be unleashed upon the those on the earth who have refused so great a salvation in Christ (Rev. 4/1; 2 Thess. 2:6-7). We are saved from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 5:9). We’ll be watching the 7-year tribulation from the Heavenly mezzanine as the greatest party ever begins: the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

3) Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the Seven-Year Tribulation: The horror and utter devastation of Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the seven-year tribulation begins (Rev. 6:1), the first 3.5 years called “The Beginning of Sorrows” & “the Wrath of the Lamb”(Matt. 24:8; Rev. 6:16) and the second 3.5 years called “The End” and “The Wrath of God without Mixture” (Matt. 24:14; Rev. 14:10 - in the last 3.5 years, no one on earth is saved as God’s wrath is no longer mixed with his mercy).

4) The Second Coming of Christ: Seven years after the Rapture and sometime before the end of this century IMO, the tribulation will end with Armageddon which is Jesus’ return WITH us his saints, all on white horses, to utterly destroy the beast and his allies - all that’s left of the world except for Israel’s saved remnant hiding in the mountains of Jordan (Rev. 19:11-21, 12:6,14).

5) The Coronation and 1000-Year Rule of Christ on Earth: Jesus is crowned King (Him) of kings (us) and Lord (Him) of lords (us) and we will rule the earth with him for 1000 years, our position of rule depending on the surrender we had to Jesus while here on earth (Matt. 25:14-30 - don’t be afraid of verse 30 - those in Christ who have lived by the flesh are still saved (we are saved forever Heb. 10:14,17) but their place in Heaven is a place much further away from the Throne and God’s Light - a place of relative darkness and they will be very sad they failed. Nevertheless, later, God will wipe away all their tears (Rev. 21:4).

6) Satan Permanently Destroyed Forever: After 1000 years, looks like the devil is let loose to show forth and marshal those who have not revived Jesus as Savoir. Satan is finally done and joins his buddies the beast and the false prophet in the lake of fire (Rev. 20:7-10).

7) The Great White Throne and the New Jerusalem: Finally, the Great White Thone, eternal death in the lake of fire for those who refused the great salvation in Christ, and an eternity in the New Jerusalem for those in Christ.

Whew. A lot of stuff for a short overview.

4. The Second Coming of Christ: Seven years after the Rapture and sometime before the end of this century IMO, the tribulation will end with Armageddon which is Jesus’ return WITH us his saints, all on white horses, to utterly destroy the beast and his allies - all that’s left of the world except for Israel’s saved remnant hiding in the mountains of Jordan (Rev. 19:11-21, 12:6,14).

Thank you for sharing your research. It seems that the end times are approaching much faster than anyone could imagine, which inspired me to pursue a more focused study of eschatology, prophesy, and interpretation. We may not know the day or the hour of our Lord’s return, but Jesus said to look for signs in the heavens, on Earth and in the oceans. We may have an understanding of the season of his coming, so that we are not caught unaware.

The past three years have revealed the plans of the enemy, global control of every individual’s ability to buy or sell through the implementation of a digital currency, the acceleration of lawlessness, widespread government corruption and an intense coordinated indoctrination program targeting children.

I have become more convinced that Jesus will return more toward the end of the tribulation, after the seventh trumpet. Lately, I have been pondering the parable of the wheat and the tares.
“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matt. 13:30.
This scripture seems to suggest that those who had accepted the mark of the beast will be harvested and bound for judgment (the second resurrection). Immediately, the dead in Christ will rise first, then God’s elect will be translated (the first resurrection, the judgment seat of Christ and the Great Banquet).
Then Jesus and his angels will defeat the Antichrist, the false prophet, the devil and his angels at Megiddo. Jesus Christ will touch down at the Mount of Olives and split the Middle East in two, to the East and to the West.
I’ve seen a vision of the Lord’s return as a great comet in the sky with his angels behind him (and the entire world will see it). A great fire spreads across the Earth and nothing is left but a desert. Then the Lord Jesus will restore the Earth to a pristine state and set up his kingdom on Earth. The devil will be bound for a thousand years and after that, the second resurrection and the Great White Throne of judgment.

Here is a list of significant signs and dates:

Cyrus the Great frees Israel: 539 BC
Artaxerxes Decree to rebuild Jerusalem: 444 BC
Immaculate Conception: Sept. 11, 3 BC (see Rev 12)
Star of Bethlehem: June 17, 2 BC
Wise men visit Jesus: Dec 25, 2 BC, flight to Egypt
Death of Herod the Great: Jan 10, 1 BC
Crucifixion: Friday, April 3, 33 AD, Messiah cut off.

The Holocaust: 1938-1945.
Israel takes control of Jerusalem: June 7, 1967.
A tetrad of four Blood Moons: 2014-2015.
Solar Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017.
Sept. 23, 2017: second war in heaven begins?
Coronavirus, Vaccines: 1st Seal precursor?
Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024. An X over the U.S.
Planned Great Reset: ~2030.
Tribulation: 2033? Daniel’s 70th week. Note: 2,000 years of grace.
Return of Christ: 2040?

Comments and suggestion are welcome. An estimate of the year of the Lord’s return is not misleading if it is correct. I would enjoy a civil and scholarly discussion. We are all pan-trib. It all pans out in the end.
