All prophecies the bible says will happen in End Times are happening or almost completed at present

Rev 19 - seems to describe this awesome event:

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war....

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean....

Jack Kinsella tells us this is his second coming and not the rapture:

The phrase “great tribulation” makes only three appearances, all in the New Testament (Matt. 24:21, Rev. 2:22, and Rev. 7:14). In its first one the Lord actually coined the term, identifying its beginning as the time when the abomination of desolation occurs....

A few verses later He said it would end just before the 2nd coming.

“Immediately after the distress (tribulation) of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken....

Mistakenly credited Jack Kinsella with writing this article.

Should have been Jack Kelley.

Some more from the above article - how we know how long it will last:

Daniel 9:27 tells us the anti-Christ will set up an abomination of desolation in the middle of the 70th Week (Daniel 9:27), or 3 ½ years from its end. It’s the same event Jesus identified as the sign that the Great Tribulation will have begun. This tells us the Great Tribulation will have a duration of 3 ½ years.

From these verses in Daniel and Revelation we pretty much know the exact timing of Jesus return:

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

----

So why is God giving us the precise time of his second coming and not the first?

The timing of the rapture is even less certain than his first coming.

The 70 weeks of Daniel 9 does give some details regarding Jesus first appearance on earth - but too vague for the religious leaders of that time to figure it out.

However, in hind sight we can pretty much determine the decade.

Jesus told the religious leaders they did not know their scriptures, because if they did, they would know him.

Other periods of time we are uncertain of, is when the tribulation begins, when the rapture happens, and when will the gog magog war start.

From the time the trespassers come to full (as covered above) until the great tribulation; we know in that interval the antichrist will appear.

Are there any hints as to when this happens?

Yep.

Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

He will come forth from 1 of the 4 countries that form a coalition and attack the ram(iran).

So, what causes them to do this?

I believe we are right before the 6th seal is opened. Then it will be obvious that God is about to judge the earth. It may be at this time that the foolish virgins rouse from their stupor, and look to the wise virgins for help, but it will be too late for them.

Jesus will then gather the wise virgins and the foolish virgins will be left to endure the hour of testing that's coming upon the whole world. It's going to get real ugly then, as that's when the mark of the beast program will be rolled out.

But it will be very clear to all of humanity that God is real, as He will send an angel to preach the gospel to the whole world and warn them not to take the mark of the beast or suffer eternal condemnation.

There will be no fence sitters at this point.

Yep!!

Using the Evil=48 Code of A=49, B50, C51...Z74, we have our President fulfilling prophecy...

D52+O63+N62+A49+L60+D52 + T68+R66+U69+M61+P64 = 666

His actions are the opposite of the Christ.

Very interesting

First time I've seen it calculated it that.

Correction

Line should read:

First time I've seen it calculated "like" that.

Timing of the antichrist depends on how long it takes 4 nations to form a coalition after the gog magog war.

So we can be certain about 3 things:

The antichrist will appear after the gog-magog war and before the great tribulation.

Once he shows himself in the temple, and declares he is god - the great tribulation will start.

Jesus returns immediately after the great tribulation.

In Matthew 24 Jesus tells us there will be a time of sorrow before the great tribulation.

What could that look like?

Here are some recent headlines from The big wobble that gives us a clue:

Chinese Mystery Disease Update No 6: 2nd city shut down: 20 million quarantined: 3rd city closes train stations: incubates in a person for 5-to-10 days: Thousands walking around not knowing they are sick - number of dead over 100 so far.

The destruction of Gog is suppose to signal the coming of the anti-christ, then the tribulations > return of Jesus > the final war between Jesus and the armies of the East

Also think Jesus returns during the Tribulations as he is suppose to be here, his coming signaled by a giant boom and brightened sky which will be visible -everywhere- across the globe even in daytime.

Obviously some geo-stellar event we've yet to witness and understand but all the same.

Jesus is around for 2-3 years before the anti christ is killed which triggers the final war with kings of the East

Mostly correct except after the antichrist appears - then the great trib starts...not tribulations. Unless that is what you meant, not sure:

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)...

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Is the Great Tribulation the 7 years hardships?

And yeah forgot about the Abomination that brings Desolation, might be playing out to set that up as we speak!

The first 3 1/2 years are known as the 'time of sorrows' or the tribulation.

The last 3 1/2 years are the great tribulation.

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months

---

Jesus in Matthew 24 tells us:

After you SEE the antichrist stand in the temple - declaring he is god (2 Thess 2:4 ...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.)

Then Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The book of Rev from chapters 6 on describes this period.

I'll post an outline of it.

Here is an outline of the Book of Revelation, excluding first 5 chapters (Jesus message to the churches). One exception to this is, church of Philadelphia is kept from great tribulation; whereas the end times church, Laodicea is not.

Revelation timeline and supporting verses from Matthew 24:

7 seal judgements (Rev 6): - Matthew 24, what Jesus calls time of sorrows:

First four seal judgements: 4 horses of apocalypse start journey -

1) NWO-globalization - take over by deception; matt 24, see that no man deceives you.
2) war(terrorism?) - Matt 24, nation will rise against nation.
3) price of food soars, - Matt 24, there will be famine in diverse places.
4) 1/4 part men dies (hunger,pestilence, catastrophes, etc) - Matt 24, disease; earthquakes.

Next - seals 5, 6 & 7

5) Christians are killed for believing in Jesus - Matt 24, many will be killed for my namesake

6) Great earthquake, sun blackens, moon red, many signs in sky takes place; men hide, for the great day of his wrath is come - Matthew 24, what Jesus calls the Great Tribulation starts with this seal.

7) Opens up the seven trumpet judgements.

The 144,000 witnesses are sealed (protected) - and all hell is literally unleashed on earth.

7 Trumpet judgements:

1) 1/3 of all trees destroyed, all grass burned up.

2) Sun, moon stars all effect what is going to happen on earth(differently).

3) 1/3 of sea life, and ships - die and destroyed.

4) The fresh water supply becomes poisonous.

5) Men that received mark are tortured 5 months

6) Another 1/3 part men dies (war? ELE????) in a little over a year.

7) Opens up the seven vial judgements.

Characters of Revelation: first beast(AC/antichrist), second beast(false prophet), woman on the beast (mystery babylon).

The AC ultimately destroys the woman on the beast, mystery babylon (global world order-elite).

The AC's sidekick (false prophet) tells all they must worship AC's image, and take a mark to buy or sell.

If anyone takes this mark they are "lost forever".

Meanwhile the earth is going through such turmoil everyone is asking what is going on - sound familiar?

We will hear the gospel from the 144,000 who will be given a song no man can learn, and temple rebuilt.

2 witnesses will appear - and preach the gospel. After 3 1/2 years they will be killed by beast.

They will lay in street 3 days and in front of the whole world God will ascend them into heaven.

The easiest part of all this time to recognize is the last 3 1/2 years:

The AC's army will surround Jerusalem. The AC will go in and defile the temple sanctuary. and declare himself to be God. He will then rule the world. He and his sidekick will be able to perform miracles.

7 Vial judgements: At the end of time - only people with mark of beast should be around to receive the double portion of God's wrath - you definitely don't want to be around for this.

God will pour out His judgment in rapid order, on an unrepentant humanity before the second coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Then Jesus meets beast in what is know as armageddon. Throws the beast in lake of fire, puts satan in pit for 1000 years. After 1000 years satan is released. Tries to get nations to go against Jerusalem. After satan looses that battle, he's thrown into lake of fire.

God creates new heaven and earth. Jerusalem is center, and God will live with us.


legend:

Beast (satan, antichrist)
Beast's Sidekick (false Prophet/2nd beast revelation - USA , China, Pope, ????)

It would appear the antichrist arises sometime after the 4th seal.

We are probably in the 4th seal - where 1/4 population earth dies from disease (probably pandemic), hunger, wild beasts etc.

The 3rd and 4th seal probably pretty close as far as occurrence.

Prophesy Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Small excerpt:

First there was the beheading of 11 Nigerian Christians during the recent Christmas celebration. The next day, a Catholic woman, Martha Bulus, was beheaded in the Nigerian state of Borno with her bridesmaids, five days before the wedding. Then there was a raid on the village of Gora-Gan in the Nigerian state of Kaduna, where terrorists shot anyone they met in the square where the evangelical community had gathered, killing two young Christian women. There was also a Christian student killed by Islamic extremists who recorded his execution. Then pastor Lawan Andimi, a local leader of the Christian Association of Nigeria, was beheaded.

“Every day”, says Father Joseph Bature Fidelis, of the Diocese of Maiduguri, “Our brothers and sisters are slaughtered in the streets. Please help us not be silent in the face of this immense extermination that is taking place in silence”....

Unfortunately, the murder of these Christians during the last month has been largely ignored by the Western media. “A slow-motion war is under way in Africa’s most populous country. It’s a massacre of Christians, massive in scale and horrific in brutality and the world has hardly noticed”, wrote the French philosopher, Bernard Henri Lévy.

While Christians were murdered in Nigeria, the global media ran a story of a pig being tied up and shoved off a bungee tower at a new theme park in China. The story went viral on BBC, The Independent, The New York Times, Sky News, Deutsche Welle and many other mainstream media outlets. The Chinese pig got more media coverage than any of these murdered Christians in Nigeria....

I don't want to speak of the coronavirus here - too much speculation.

But it's a pity that people who don't believe in God are criticizing others who do - even saying they don't grasp the gravity of how bad this is.

Actually, those who don't believe in God "Don't grasp the gravity of how bad it "really" is, and going to be.

This is what Daniel 12 has to say about it:

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

One of the characters mentioned briefly in the outline is woman on the beast (mystery babylon).


I glossed over it because it's still difficult to pin down who it is.

I never thought of China as a potential candidate, but it suddenly occurred to me she meets many of the traits described in Rev 17 & 18.
