Welcome to End Time Files!

End Time Files will be investigating the timeline of events as portrayed in Revelation and other interconnected prophecies mostly from Daniel and Mathew 24. (See the timelines above.) The investigation will generally assume a “pre-millennial” perspective, the view that end time events in general are yet to be fulfilled. It will also be based on an outline of Revelation that is listed below under the title "Outline of Revelation." The main focus will be the last 7-year period leading up to the return of Christ, and will also include the 7 "seals" of Revelation and the "Millennial Reign of Christ."

The top of the 3 timelines will be explored in the "Prelude" section that looks at the 7 seals, the middle timeline in the "1000 Years" with a possible additional category of "The New Heaven and Earth", and the bottom timeline in the last "7 years" before Christ's return. The main thread used to tie all of these prophecies of the 7 years together is what Jesus brought up in Mt. 24. When you see the abomination of desolations spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (Mt. 24:15), then will be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of time (Mt. 24:21).

Jesus then goes on to say that immediately after the tribulation He'll come back to gather together His Saints to take them up to be with Him in Heaven (Mt. 24:29-31). To tie this together it will be necessary, for the most part, to focus on the passages in Daniel and Revelation and explore how they interconnect with each other. A few suggestions on how to approach understanding this. One approach is to familiarize yourself with the combined timelines on the homepage just to get a feel for how they fit together. Then take a look at the individual timelines as presented in the following sections.

You can also use the outline of Revelation on the homepage to get a better feel for things if needed. Or you can start by reading the text and then refer to the timelines for greater clarity. The 7 years will be useful for those who want an other world perspective of what is soon to unfold in the banking system, the middle east, Russia, Europe and the US. You can also send me an email if you have questions. Hope you enjoy exploring this as much as I did putting it together!

Patterns

From the outline there appears a recognizable pattern after the first 7 chapters. In chapters 8-9 the trumpets are sounded which arguably happens during the great tribulation. Then in addition to the events of the trumpets, 11-13 are looking at specific events that take place during the 3.5-year period of great tribulation with specific references to the 3.5 years in each chapter. In chapter 16 the vials are poured out. Then in chapters 17-19 are the destruction of Babylon, the Marriage Supper, and Armageddon, events that take place while the 7 vials of God's wrath are being poured out. Comparing the pattern in chapters 8-13 to 16-19 arguably reveals in the vision an overall chronologically situated unfolding of events.

This evidence alone provides a substantial argument for a recognizable chronological order in the "scroll" that starts with the great tribulation at chapter 8 and goes all the way to the new heavens and earth in chapters 21 and 22. Another indication of a pattern is the multiple references to the 3.5 years mentioned throughout Daniel and Revelation. (See Dan. 7:25; 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 12:5-6, 13-14; 13:5-7) This all ties together with the multiple references to the abomination of desolation starting with Matthew 24:15 and 21, then in Daniel: 9:27; 11:31; 12:11, and in Revelations 13:5-8, and 14-15.
