Summary Outline of
Main End Time Events
er the series of articles I did on this
topic, I'm going to go ahead and do a summary outline on
the main events and the possible order in which they will
occur. I will not be stating any Scripture verses. This
will all just be put into an outline form so you can have,
at a quick glance, all of the major events that will be
occurring leading up to Jesus' second coming to our
earth.
The best way to break up all of these
events is to list all of the events that will be occurring
before the 7 year Tribulation starts, all of the events that
will be occurring during the Tribulation, and then all of the
events that will occur after the Tribulation. Once the
Tribulation starts, we know we have exactly 7 years before
Jesus comes back.
Main Events That Will Occur
Before the Tribulation
1. Restoration of the State of Israel
The Jewish people return to the land of Israel and
re-establish it as a state. This sign has already come to pass
and it occurred on 5/14/48. The city of Jerusalem was then
regained by the Jewish people on 6/7/67.
2. Miscellaneous Signs
Jesus Himself tells us that the following signs will occur
as we approach the end times.
a) Perilous times will come.
b) False Christs and false prophets will arise.
c) Wars and rumors of wars.
d) Nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
e) Famines, pestilences and earthquakes.
f) Lawlessness and immorality will abound.
g) Love of many will grow cold.
h) Christians will depart from the faith giving heed to
doctrines of demons.
i) Men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, unholy,
proud, boasters, blasphemers, unloving, disobedient to
parents, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
brutal, traitors, headstrong, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God and unthankful.
3. Rise of the Antichrist, False Prophet and a 10 Nation
Confederacy From Which They Will Rule This Earth From.
4. Rise of the City of Babylon
5. Russia and Her Allies Will Invade Israel. God Will Then
Supernaturally Destroy This Invading Army.
Main Events That Will Occur
During the 7 Year Tribulation
1. The Antichrist Establishes a Peace Treaty and a Covenant
with Israel
2. The Jewish Temple is Rebuilt
3. God's Counterbalances:
- The 2 Witnesses
- 144,000 Jewish Witnesses
- Major Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
- Angel of the Everlasting Gospel allowed to preach the
gospel
4. The Antichrist Will Destroy the City of Babylon
5. A War in Heaven Breaks Out
St. Michael the Archangel and his angels cast Satan out of
the second heaven and onto the earth. The Devil becomes furious
when this event occurs because he knows that his time is
short.
6. The Abomination of Desolation
Three and half years into the Tribulation, the Antichrist
will break his peace treaty with Israel, seat himself up in
their rebuilt temple and proclaim himself to be God.
These 7 judgments will probably occur during the first half
of the Tribulation. They are as follows:
a) The Antichrist will be released and allowed to set
out to conquer the earth.
b) The Antichrist will be allowed to take peace from the
earth and cause many people to kill one another.
c) The Antichrist will cause slave labor conditions to
exist where people will be working for minimum pay just to
be able to buy enough food for a day.
d) The martyrs will cry out to God in heaven to avenge
their deaths. God says to wait just a little while
longer.
e) God causes a great earthquake to hit the earth, causing
every mountain and every island to move out of its place.
He also causes the sun to turn black and the moon to look
like blood.
f) There is silence in heaven for a half an hour. An angel
offers the prayers of God's people to Him to avenge
them.
These 7 judgments will occur during the middle to latter
part of the Tribulation. They are as follows:
a) God rains down hail and fire upon the earth - burning up
one third of the trees and all of the green grass.
b) God releases a meteor into the sea turning one third of
the sea into blood, killing one-third of all living
creatures in the sea and destroying one third of the ships
that are on the sea.
c) God releases another meteor, hitting one third of the
rivers and springs, causing contamination of the water and
many men to die.
d) God strikes a third of the sun, a third of the moon and
a third of the stars so that they give no light. This
causes a third of the day not to shine.
e) The bottomless pit is allowed to open up releasing a
huge swarm of locusts to attack all the people who do not
have God's seal on their foreheads. They are not allowed to
kill these people, but to just torment them with their
bite. These people will be seeking death and will not be
able to find it.
f) 4 demonic angels are released from the Euphrates river
to kill a third of mankind. These 4 demonic angels will
lead an army of 200 million demonic spirits to carry out
this mass slaughter of humans.
g) Heaven is now beginning to rejoice because God is
releasing His wrath upon the wicked on the earth and
extracting His vengeance. God then releases more
lightnings, another earthquake and more great hail upon the
earth.
These 7 judgments will occur during the
latter part of the Tribulation. They are as follows:
a) God causes loathsome sores to fall upon those who
have the mark of the Beast.
b) God causes the entire sea waters to become blood -
killing every living creature in the seas.
c) God causes all the rivers and springs to turn into
blood.
d) God causes the heat from the sun to scorch men with
great heat and fire.
e) God causes total darkness to fall upon the kingdom of
the Antichrist.
f) The Euphrates river is allowed to dry up so as to
prepare the way for the kings of the east to come to the
battle of Armageddon. Then 3 demonic spirits are released
from the mouths of the Antichrist and False Prophet and
they go out to all the kings of the earth to bring all of
them to the battle of Armageddon.
g) God causes the greatest and most severe earthquake to
hit the earth. The city of Babylon is completely finished
off and swallowed up whole. This earthquake causes all of
the islands to flee away and all of the mountains to be no
longer found. God then rains down great hailstones weighing
135 pounds each. God then says: "It is done."
10. The Battle of Armageddon
All the nations of the world come against Jerusalem. Half of
the city will go into captivity, houses will be rifled and the
women ravished. Then deliverance comes!
Main Events That Will Occur
After the Tribulation
1. The Second Coming of Jesus
Immediately following the Tribulation and right in the
middle of the battle of Armageddon, Jesus literally descends
from heaven where every eye will be able to see Him. Jesus will
land on the Mount of Olives and He will then destroy all of the
invading armies who have come against Jerusalem. Their flesh
will dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes will
dissolve in their sockets and their tongues will dissolve in
their mouths.
Jesus then throws the Antichrist and False Prophet into the
Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Jesus then throws Satan into the
bottomless pit where he is kept chained up for a 1000 years.
The rest of unsaved humanity is kept in Hades (Hell) until the
1000 Millennium Kingdom is over.
Jesus will literally rule our earth from the city of
Jerusalem for 1000 years with all of the saints ruling the
nations of the earth with Him. There will be no more wars ever
again. Wild animals and beasts will be tame. People will live
long lives - possibly up to a 1000 years. There will be no more
weeping or crying.
After the 1000 years have passed in the Millennium Kingdom,
Satan is let loose from the bottomless pit for a little while
in order to go out and attempt to deceive the nations of the
world for one last time. God allows Satan to tempt and weed out
the restless bad apples that were born into the Millennium
Kingdom. They will all converge on the city of Jerusalem to go
into battle.
Before any battle is fought, God will destroy this invading
army with fire. Satan is then cast into the Lake of Fire and
Brimstone where he will now join the Antichrist and False
Prophet. All three of them will now remain in this place
forever and ever and we will never hear from the devil
again.
All of unsaved humanity is now pulled up out of Hades (Hell)
where they will now all stand before God for their final
judgment. All of those whose names are not found written in the
Book of Life are thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone
where they will all remain forever with Satan, the Antichrist
and the False Prophet.
Our earth and our atmospheric heaven are now done away with,
and in its place we will get a new heaven and a new earth.
There will no longer be any seas. There will no longer be any
night. There will no longer be any sun or moon because the
glory of God will be illuminating the earth.
There will no longer be any more death in any way, shape or
form. The curse of Adam and Eve will have finally been broken
and done away with for good. There will be no more sorrow,
pain, crying or weeping. All things will be made new.
God the Father Himself will now come down from heaven and
dwell with man forever and ever in this new heaven and new
earth. We will also get a new city of Jerusalem which will come
down from heaven itself.
This new city will be like a square and possibly 1500 miles
wide. The foundations of the walls will be adorned with all
kinds of precious stones. There will be 12 gates with an angel
at each gate. The gates will be made of solid pearl and the
streets will be solid gold.
There shall no longer be any temple as God and Jesus will be
the temple Themselves. All the nations of the earth shall walk
in Their light and the gates into this city will never be
closed.
Now with Satan, all of his demons, and all of the bad
and unsaved people taken out of this new heavenly
environment, we will now all live happily ever after with
God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, all of God's
good angels and all of our saved loved ones in the most
perfect God-environment imaginable - with no more pain,
sorrow or death ever again!
This is our final end. This is our ultimate
destination. Keep your eyes on this final glorious end as
we start to approach and enter into these end time events.
It will help get you through the fire.
Remember, God will win in the end and so will you if
you keep your faith in Jesus Christ through what may be
some very difficult times ahead. Jesus Himself has already
told us that those who are the overcomers in this life will
be the ones to rule the nations of the world with Him in
these coming eras.
