what are the sequece of events in revelations?

Question

The book of revelations confuses me. What's supposed to happen? Jesus returns first? The plagues? help.

Answer 1

The book of revelations actually spands a large time frame. The seals are the long stories, then the trumpets, then the very short stories are the vials which are poured out, during Gods wrath. The first seal was the first horseman of the acolapyse. The trumpets started with World War I. We are currently on the 6th trumpet which is a war that kills 1/3 of man kind, that starts in the Euphrates river present day Iraq.
The anti christ is the world leader during the time of the great tribulation. Which is called Satan's Wrath. He will come out of the Holy Roman Empire, which began when Charlamane was crowned emperor by the pope. So he will come out of Europe. The false prophet will be the pope at that time, who is predicted everywhere to be the next pope. http://www.worldslastchance.com/?gclid=CO-d0IThwIkCFSbUgAod6WJqsQ
This makes sense since the last kingdom is described to be a holy roman empire. Also the four horseman of the apocalpyse are actually catholism-white, red-communist, pale green-muslim, black-capatlism. If you look at Daniels propehcy he told Nebuchadrezzar his dream was about a huge image made of various materials (gold, silver, brass, iron, and iron mingled with clay.) Notice Iron was Rome Empire. The Iron mingled with clay is the empire we now live in.
We know the Anti Christ will come out of a ten nation union. We also know he will require everyone to have a mirco-chip, without it you will not be able to buy or sell. He will make war with the Saints, and most Saints will be beheaded for their faith. We know he will be revealed at the time of the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, whenever you see the anti christ, claiming to be God in the newly build Jewish temple, then people in Judea flee, for Satan comes down having great wrath. The great tribulation last for 3 1/2 years, during this time saints are killed, and the two witnesses are preaching in Jerusalem. Then comes the rapture for the saints that remain alive. There is only 1 ressurection, which makes a post-tribulation rapture. Then comes the vials, and God's Wrath on the people that took the mark of the beast, and rejected Jesus. Then Jesus and the saints will return as the entire world goes to wipe out Israel from the face of the Earth. And 144k jews will turn to Jesus at this time. The battle of Armaggedon takes place, then Satan is thrown into hell for 1k years. At this time Saints will reign with christ 1000 years, in their new immortal bodies. Then Satan is realeased for a short time, and makes war with Jesus yet again. Finally he is defeated and thrown into hell forever, and Christians will dwell forever in heaven.

Answer 2

well i am not 100 percent sure. being that some say we will be raptured and then tribulation starts. others the rapture will happen in the middle others we will be raptured at the end and some say we wont get raptured at all. i believe there will be a peace treaty. i believe before a lot of that that the anti christ will do many things and claim to be christ in our belief and other beliefs whatever there Jesus is. there will be the mark of the beast. i dont think there is a 100 percent order. i mean the mark of the beast can start before the signing. however maybe it wont be mandatory tell after the signing. anyways i would just pray that God shows you the truth and gives you understanding as you read the Bible.

this may be interesting to some people. look it up.

there will be a falling away of saints. however there will also be a pour out of the Holy Ghost. both are happening right now. and a lot more. anyways as you can see so many think they know but not for sure. i would stick with reading the Bible and praying. and know what signs to look for like if they say you have to have an implant and it has to be the right hand or forehead. most say the forehead why? well what if you dont have a right arm or hand? we all have a forehead. anyways if they say you need that or you cant have a job or bank or nothing that is a good sign. for you are still not forced to take it and you choose to. yes if you dont you may starve and what not but that is what the Bible says. it will be a hard time for christians and so many more will give in and take the mark cause they rather not suffer for God.

Answer 3

Goodness gracious. Scholars have pondered over that for years and you want someone to break it down into a few lines. Whew, I will try.

Rapture
Peace Treaty
3 and 1/2 years peace
3 and 1/2 years desolation
During the last part of the 7 years the 7seals will be broken and the bowl judgements will happen to all who still inhabit the earth. During this time some believe that is when the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will happen too in Heaven with those who are already with Christ.
Then Jesus comes back and restrains the devil in the pit for 1000 years. Then he is loosed again for a small period of time before God throws him and his minions into the Lake of Fire.Then comes the Final Judgement when God judges everyone.

The next thing on the time line is the Rapture and the revealing of the AntiChrist.
The falling away is already happening, so it's just a matter of time. I think I got the jist of it right. Someone add to it if I have missed something.
