The
Sequence of Endtime Events
Equipping
God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the prophecies of the
End Times …
Let's
look at the timeline we established for Daniel's 70th
Week:
- 1,260 Days / 3 ½ years1,260 Days / 3 ½ years

In
Daniel's 70th Week, we know we have the Final 7 Years. It
starts with the Confirmation of the Covenant (the signing of the
Peace Treaty between Israel and Palestine). We then have a 3 ½ year
period of time of relative peace on earth when the Antichrist is
ascending and gaining his power. The Aboination of Desolation happens
at the exact mid-point, which launches the Great Tribulation that
lasts for 3 ½ years.
Most
students of prophecy are more familiar with Daniel's 70th
Week. Now we want to show how Daniel's 70th Week and the
Seals / Trumpets / Vials correlate together. Let's look at the
timeline that brings these both together.

To
quickly redefine terms:
Confirmation
of the Covenant,
the
Bible says, is when the Antichrist will confirm the covenant with
many for a 7 year period. When this event happens, we know we have
triggered the Final 7 Years to the Battle of Armageddon.
The
Abomination of Desolation happens half-way through this 7 year period
and is when the Antichrist will sit in the Temple of God and claim to
be Messiah; claim to be God. Even during this time, during this first
3 ½ years, if a Temple is not built before the Confirmation of the
Covenant, a Temple will have to be built in Jerusalem on the Temple
Mount during this time.
Right
now we are right in front of the Confirmation of the Covenant and
very close to the time of the war that will kill 1/3 part of man.
Right now we are on the brink of Daniel's 70th Week.
The
first 3 ½ years of Daniel's 70th Week leading up to the
Abomination of Desolation is a time of relative peace. As we move
over on the timeline to the second half, we see that the 5th
Seal is the souls under the altar crying out “Lord, when will You
avenge our blood?”
We
know this happened at the Abomination of Desolation because the 3rd
Vial makes a reference to that. We talked about this Vial at length
in an earlier lesson where we discussed we have the angel on the
waters that is complimenting God for having judged righteously, and
we have the souls under the altar who are complimenting God for
having judged righteously. We know that when the angel on the waters
does it, it was the launching of the 3 ½ years because it was a
time, times, and a half a time.
The
Abomination of Desolation begins the Great Tribulation which we
indicate here on this chart as the Wrath of Satan. During this 3 ½
year period of time saints are killed. It is launched by a war in
heaven involving Michael, the Archangel, having a war against the
devil and his angels. Satan is cast out, possesses the Antichrist,
who then commits the Abomination of Desolation.
3
½ years later, the Great Tribulation ends. That ends the Wrath of
Satan and we then enter into the period known as the Wrath of God.
The Wrath of Satan is the Great Tribulation.
As
the Bible puts it, immediately after the tribulation of those days,
shall we see the 6th Seal / 7th Trumpet / All
Vials. This is the Wrath of God. Take note as we look at this
timeline, we have the Wrath of Satan followed by the Wrath of God.
We
know that the Wrath of Satan, the Great Tribulation, is 3 ½ years
long. The Wrath of God is not 3 ½ years long, but is a very short
segment of time that occurs just after the Great Tribulation.
Another
big misconception is that many people think the Wrath of Satan is the
first 3 ½ years of Daniel's 70th Week and that the Wrath
of God is the second 3 ½ years. That cannot be true because Jesus
said in Matthew 24:
“When
you see the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel, the
prophet, then shall be great tribulation such as never has been
before, nor ever again shall be.”
It
is critical to understand that the Great Tribulation begins at the
Abomination of Desolation and it occupies the last 3 ½ years of
Daniel's 70th Week. Then at the end of the tribulation,
immediately, we go into a very short segment of time called the Wrath
of God. All of this culminates at the Battle of Armageddon.
This
is a culmination of cataclysmic, apocalyptic events that all are
poured out. It actually appears that God uses the Vials against the
invading armies of the world government forces led by Russia. These
forces are coming down against the city of Jerusalem and the Bible
says in Ezekiel 38, “I will plead against Gog with blood, with
pestilence, with fire, with hailstones."
This
brings up another point. The Vials are localized events, not
worldwide events. We are told in Ezekiel 38 that the great hail falls
upon the invading armies of Armageddon.
It
is easy to understand this because the plagues of Egypt were
localized. When God delivered the children from Egypt, he used the
plagues against Egypt. The whole world didn't experience frogs in
their sinks, flies, all of these plagues that are described in the
Old Testament. The plagues were only against the Egyptians. They were
not against the Israelites. The Israelites were protected from this
wrath of God.
Keeping
this in mind, know that Wrath of Satan will be against the Saints of
God and Saints will be killed. But immediately following the Great
Tribulation, the Saints of God will not be subject to the Wrath of
God.
Coming
up we will look at the timelines (plural) of the Wrath of God. We
will see that during this very short period of time we are going to
see lots and lots of events.
