OVERVIEW OF THE EVENTS…
One day the world will be united into a “One-World System”. A kind of government that oblique every people to have a mark either on the forehead or on the right hand. This kind of government which will be ruled by a one-world leader will last only for 42 months or 3.5 years. It would be a system that would look like a Christian movement, but it would lead Christianity into apostasy.
A false prophet will rise and oblique every people to have a mark on their forehead or on their right hand. Whoever refuses to have a mark or worship the image of this one-world leader will be killed.
This one-world leader was a warrior, and once again would exercise his power and might over every tribe, tongue, and nation. He will declare peace, however this would be the great tribulation for Christians. They will invade Jerusalem and will desecrate its temple fortress and they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. – Daniel 11:31
Then false christs and false prophets will rise. They will perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Within his reign, two appointed prophets of God will be preaching the gospel and giving warning to those who dwell on the earth to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people, saying, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” –Revelation 14:7. They will also warn the people not to worship anybody other than God and not to take any kind of a mark on the forehead or on the right hand, for he would also suffer of the wrath of God and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone – Revelation 14:9-10.
When these two prophets finished their testimony they will be killed by this one-world leader. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. – Revelation 11:7-10
Then people will say, “where is the promise of His coming?” –II Pet. 3:4. And they will declare, “Peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” –I Thessalonians 5:3.
After the three-and-a-half days the breath of God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them. “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. – Revelation 11:12-13.
Then a foul and a loathsome sore will come upon the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. (Continue reading Rev. 16:2-4, 8-12, 17; and from Rev. 8:5 down to Revelation 9:1-21 for a detailed description)
Then judgment of God on ‘Great Babylon’ (Rome) will be poured out. – Revelation 17:1-7,9,12-18; 18:1-24.
After the “Wrath of God” has been poured out, “there (will be) noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there (will be) great earthquake, such as had not occurred since men were on earth. –Revelation 16:18. “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” - Matthew 24:22.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” –Matthew 24:29. “Then every island (will flee) away, and the mountains (would not be) found. And great hail from heaven (will fall) upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men (will) blaspheme God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague (would be) exceedingly great.” -Revelation 16:20-21. “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” –Matthew 24:30-31.
Then the men who were not killed by the plagues will be killed by the sword. This is what we called “The Battle of Armageddon”, where the anti-Christ and the false prophet will be captured. –Revelation 19:11-21.
Then Satan will be captured also and be bound for a thousand years. –Revelation 20:1-3.
Then there will be a thousand years reign of Christians. – Revelation 20:4-6.
After a thousand years, Satan will be released and be punished together with his cohorts. They will surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire will come down from heaven and devour them. – Revelation 20:7-10.
Then “Judgment and Punishment” –Revelation 20:11-15.
And finally, God will make all things new, hence a “New Heaven and a New Earth”. –Revelation 21:1,5-6.
