Summary Outline of Main End Time Events

Per the series of articles I did on this topic, I am 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.

Summary Outline of Main End Time Events

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.

7. The 7 Seal Judgments

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 world.

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.

8. The 7 Trumpet Judgments

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 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 taking His vengeance. God then releases more lightnings, another earthquake, and more great hail upon the earth.

9. The 7 Bowl Judgments

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.

2. The Millennium Kingdom

Jesus will literally rule our entire 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.

3. Satan is Let Loose One More Time

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.

However, 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.

4. The Great White Throne Judgment

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.

5. The New Heaven and New Earth

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 more 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 the city of New 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.

The teaching is profound and it is received with many thanks. What I wish to get more clarity on involves: the release of satan after 1000 years to tempt people - who are these people because Jesus would have come with the saints to be the inhabitants of the earth...and if satan would have been held kept in the bottomless pit for the period in question - with antichrist and false prophet also being removed from the surface of the earth, who would serve as potential candidates to fall into temptation of satan during that brief moment of his release from the bottomless pit. Does this presupposes elements of wickedness/sin (demons/sinners) will remain intact on earth even during the millennium rule?

My last question relates to the major outpouring of the Holy Spirit during the tribulation period. Is the outpouring in the context of this teaching fulfilling the prophecy of Joel? And does this imply there will be no major outpouring before rapture?

By Peter’s declaration and description of Joel’s prophecy in Acts 2:15-18, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit already started to happen...right? Or did I miss something?

Sorry I’m still a new Christian and trying to learn.

Thank you for all the info! Going to be digging through God’s word in Revelations again soon!

Very well stated here....I pray Kevin that God will touch your heart with this and that you will come to the saving Grace of God through Jesus Christ His only begotten son which is the word become flesh that dwelt among us to reveal God the Father to us through his life and ministry on earth and even now sits at the right hand of God the Father making intersession for all of us. Amen

KEVIN, Would you like to give your life to the Lord? You can do it right now wherever you are right now. Just say Lord I need you. I believe that you died on the cross for all of my sins. I repent of them, though I know that you have already forgiven them. God sent His son into to the world, not to condem them world, but that through Him the world would be saved. Lord come into my heart and let your Spirit within me guide my steps. I choose to make you the Lord and Savior of my life. KEVIN, if you said that prayer and you honestly desire what you have said, then you are born again. God will give you a supernatural understanding of His word. You will no longer feel the need to ask questions that are of the world. You will be living in the spirit. You will have faith in God and His Word. You will have no part in the pain and horror of God's wrath that will fall upon the unsaved, because your name will be written in the Lambs book of life. You will live eternally with God a in place with no more pain or sorrow. You will be reunited with your family members who have died and you have missed since they have been gone. You are right about it being said that since Christ death and Ressurection that He will be coming back again. And He will come again during someone's time in life. And like it was said earlier, it was His way of telling us that we need to be rapture ready at all times and be right with Him, because we will not know the day the time or the hour when He will come. The signs of the end times that were stated have already begun. Now we all have to pay very close attention to them as they occur. KEVIN, He truly is coming back soon. I pray that you will choose to join us as part of the body of Christ and live in the Kingdom with us and with your family once again that you believed you would never see again. KEVIN they will be there waiting for you with open arms. It would so heartbreaking for you to not join in with the eternal celebration. This all YOUR CHOICE KEVIN. Although you have not yet taken the step to becoming saved, in my heart I believe that you will choose to. So with that, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY KEVIN!

Nice outline for the End Times. I will be using it for a Bible Study and Discussion with some new believers who are curious about end times prophecy. It would be helpful if you included Bible references for the outline though.

Many Thanks

So what we have here is one mortal (the author of this page) making guesses about the End Times (which Christ says we are to know nothing about) by taking Revelation and using modern geopolitical scenarios/individuals to fill in the obscure prophecies, as if, not only does he or she know the End Times will happen at all, but that it will happen in our lifetime? How do people fall for this garbage...they've been predicting the end time since Christ died, and, like he said, us humans will just never know when the end times are upon us (unless we pick up a natural phenomenon with modern scientific instruments and are able to avoid it). Live well, treat others how you would like to be treated, and don't claim to know things you DO NOT KNOW

Jesus scolded the disciples for not recognizing the "signs" of the times. We should be aware of the signs of Jesus return because He told us what to look for in the Olivet disclosure in Matthew 24. Also read Revelation, which is the Revelation of Christ to John while he was on the Greek island of Patmos.

If we, as Christians do not know the signs Jesus referred to as the end times, we need to be reading the Bible. No, the author of this outline is NOT guessing. He is Bible literate and following Jesus Word.

We know because the scripture tell us to look for these signs. We are supposed to keep our eyes on current events and to be aware of where we stand on the second coming of Christ. It's a good idea to examine what part of your heart is offended by applying biblical prophesy to current day events. If you look forward to the end of sin reigning over the earth, then you should yearn to watch for these signs because you anxiously are awaiting Christ's return!

Our good God never allows anything to happen to His people without revealing it to His Prophets ,let read prophecy to understand the time left for christ to come in His second advent
