Special Section - the Correct Chronological Order


1) The first Coming of Christ, Birth, Death, Burial and Resurrection. The New Testament commences, 27 A.D.

2) Events of history and calling into the True Church, old Roman religion joined to new Roman Catholic Church seat (Satan’s Church)

3) Satan symbolically bound for one thousand years for the re-establishing of David and Solomon’s Throne, the re-gathering of the House of Judah and the House of Israel. One thousand years from 946 A.D. first King of United England until the Dissolution of British Empire 1946 and the Gospel given to the heathen lands (a forty year end gap period, widespread golden era of the House of Israel to 1988 and House of Judah complete 1990 just prior to the Gulf War I that leads on to WWIII).

4) Beast nation (The United States) becoming a super power after victory of World War II, puts down three kings and the forty years preparation of great achievements and final workings of the New World Order, Great Apostasy of the churches falling away from the truth and the shaping of the Babylon Whore World Church. America (Manasseh) now has the Throne of David (Stone of Scone). Beginning of sorrows with an increase in massive earthquakes, famines, plagues, pestilence, and natural disasters and anarchy.

5) From 1980 the beginning of Iran/Iraq war leading to the prophecy of the Persian Gulf and the battles on the Euphrates River. The foundation of the counterfeit Solomon’s Temple completed 1988. First three and a half years (or 1260 days) from 1984 to 1988, then peace and safety break around two and a half years with east and west barriers being dismantled in 1989. A delusion, a massive lie, of the collapse of Russia.

6) The seventh final seal broken over the bottomless pit as Satan comes out and the Antichrist leads the beast nation for the final three and a half years (or 1335 days). Satan gathers all the nations for the Great Tribulation, collapse of the world monetary system, war, marking and killing of the saints, under the New World Order. The United States and ten kings (nations) have war against Arabs and Iran (September 11 and War on Terror is a lead up) and Russia in the Middle East, leading to worldwide nuclear and chemical warfare and the Battle of Armageddon involving China.

7) The Second Coming of Christ just before the seventh angel sounds the trumpet. The Second Coming involves the first resurrection (all those who died in Christ) throughout history and during the Great Tribulation and the small elect one hundred and forty four thousand living raptured church. God then pours out his wrath and judgment on an unrepentant earth at Armageddon in Israel (end of mortal history).

8) The second one thousand years the Immortal Church (or bride of Jesus Christ) is taken with Christ to heaven for the Wedding Breakfast of one thousand years (or a day to the Lord).

9) After this one thousand years in heaven the great White Throne judgment takes place and all those who died, but were not Christians are judged according to their works.

10) If their names are not found written in the Book of Life, they are then cast into the Lake of Fire, which is the second death, where also the Antichrist, False Prophet, Satan, death and hell are also cast.

11) The immortal church (the bride of Christ) enters the New Jerusalem, the city God in the new heavens and the new earth to be with Christ and God forever.

THE ORDER OF EMPIRES IN HISTORY

Daniel: NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DREAM
Revelation 17:1-18:
1. HEAD OF GOLD (Babylon Empire)
1. EGYPTIAN EMPIRE
2. CHEST OF SILVER (Medo-Persia)
2. BABYLON EMPIRE
3. LOWER BODY BRASS (Alexander the Great - Grecian Empire)
3. ASSYRIN EMPIRE
4. LEGS OF IRON (Roman Empire)
4. MEDO – PERSIAN EMPIRE
5. GRECIAN EMPIRE
In future out of this, feet of iron and clay (The last United European Empire of 10 Nations).
6. ROMAN EMPIRE
7. BRITISH EMPIRE
The little horn, who grows, he is like all these Empires. His lineage goes back to Old Roman Order, Babylon, and Egypt.
8. FINAL EMPIRE (New World Order headed by the USA)

THE BIBLICAL RECORD OF THE LINEAGE AND TRIBES OF ISRAEL

God established his covenant with the physical line of Abraham and Sarah to Jacob’s children, not through Abraham’s second wife, Keturah, or handmaiden, Hagar (whose son was Ishmael). These children became the numerous Arab tribes. Jacob’s twin brother, Esau, became the Tribe of Edomites, Abraham’s nephew, Lot, became father of the Moabites and Ammonites by his daughters and did not come under the established covenant. All the Arab tribes and the tribe of Judah, with the rest of the Gentile nations would be called to come into the Church (the Spiritual House of Israel). From the 12 children of Jacob, Leah, Rachel, and handmaidens, all the Hebrew children became the 12 tribes (The Physical House of Israel or Whole House of Israel). The Church (the Spiritual House of Israel) comprises peoples called from every nation, tribe and tongue on earth. Ephraim and Manasseh named Israel and called Israelites after Jacob and his son Joseph). Israel (the land given to the House of Judah - Jews) was brought back from captivity in 1917 and became a state in 1948. Jews (from the tribe of Judah) are called the Israelis belong to the Physical House of Israel and soon to complete Spiritual House of Israel (the Church).

THE TIME OF THE END

CHRIST’S SECOND COMING – WHEN AND HOW

SPECIAL SECTION.

Matthew 28:19,20
‘Go therefore, and teach all nations…Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world’
Matthew 24:3 End of the world
‘And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?

So what kind of coming were the Apostles asking about? Will there be more than one Second Coming of Christ? No: only one at the end. We will examine these biblical facts carefully. As we analyze Jesus’ comments you will come to realize that the Second Coming and the end of the world (conclusion of the current system of things) occur simultaneously. It is important to know that the rapture of the Church (elect or chosen ones) only takes place at the time of the Second Coming of Christ and not pre-millennial, not mid-tribulation – only after the Great Tribulation, the end of.

Let us give careful consideration to the following verses dealing with this important issue: Matthew 24:1-51, Mark 13:1-36 and Luke 21:1-36.

Here we have the breakdown of the final last age on earth when the generation (3 score years & 10 = 70 years) that the Lord spoke of (Matthew 24:34), would live to see it all. Daniel foresaw an increase in knowledge (Daniel 12:4) and the seal of the Book of Daniel being broken only at the end time (Daniel 12:1-13). From verse 15 of Matthew 24 we read (my comments in brackets):

Matthew 24:15-46

Abomination of Desolation

The Great Tribulation

‘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:)’

(This is referring to the Antichrist and missile weaponry standing in Israel and Jerusalem).

‘The let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his cloths. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days be shortened, there should be no flesh saved: but for the elect’s sake (church or chosen ones) those days shall be shortened.’

(These elect are the ones to be raptured at the time of the resurrection of dead at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ – see Titus 1 & II John 1 for who are the elect).

False Christs & false prophets predicted

The Second Coming

‘Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible (but not possible), they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they (i.e. the false prophets and deceivers) shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers (or coming in secret to rapture the church first); believe it not. For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (second) of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation (great trouble and affliction) of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (This has not taken place yet). And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other’.
Gathering of the elect
(Also see Luke 21:36 regarding the elect: ‘Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man’ i.e. without spot or blemish. No one knows the day or the hour but Christians will know when the coming of Christ is at the very door. They will be going through this time of great trouble (tribulation), but God will account them worthy to escape, as he alone will keep alive the elect or chosen saints of the church, until he raptures them as Mt. 24:31 says).

Mt. 24 continued Verse 32

Parable of the Fig Tree

Conditions at the Advent of Christ

The Rapture

Watchfulness commanded

‘Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (the Second Coming of Jesus Christ). Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass (or die out), till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (we have the signs and events to watch for). But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming (second) of the Son of man be (i.e. the world typified by worldliness and wickedness). For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming (second) of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left (rapture of the elect at the Second Coming). Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: (speaking to Christians) for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, (wise Christian) whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing’.

Reference to watchfulness is also given in Daniel 12:

Daniel 12:12-13

The End of Days

‘Blessed is he (the Christian) that waiteth (and watches), and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: (end of the world) for thou shalt rest (die), and stand in thy lot (reward) at the end of the days’ (when Daniel will rise in the first resurrection at the time of the end after the Great Tribulation.

Read also Daniel 11:40-45.

Daniel 12:1-3

Great Tribulation and resurrection

‘AND at that time (time of the end) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: (the Church) and there shall be a time of trouble, (the Great Tribulation – same tribulation as written in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21) such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered (the elect, church, Christian saints), every one that shall be found written in the book’.

Revelation 13:7-10

Persecution of Christians

‘And it was given unto him (the Antichrist) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints’.(Return to Daniel 12:2)

Daniel 12:2

The Resurrection

‘And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake (1st resurrection), some to everlasting life, and (1000 years later) some to shame and everlasting contempt’ (2nd resurrection).

In Daniel 12:2 we have the raptured remnant church (in verse 1) saved alive, great trouble or tribulation shortened by God for the elect’s sake (those Christians chosen to be preserved until Christ’s Second Coming. In Verse 2 the first resurrection takes place of all Christians who have died and then the remnant living church is caught up in the air with them. Reading in God’s Word we find all the scriptural texts that refer to this advent:

I Corinthians 15:49-55

Mystery of the Resurrection

‘And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (or all die) but we shall all be changed, (speaking to Christians – the church being made up of living and dead) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (the living Christians left at the time of the Second Coming) shall be changed (or raptured). For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written (Isaiah 25:7-9*), Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Isaiah 25:7-9 linked with I Corinthians 15: 54

*’And he (Jesus Christ) will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations (suffering, death, spiritual darkness etc.) He (Jesus Christ) will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people (Christian, rapture of the living remnant) shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, (the day of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ) Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him (watch and wait), and he will save us: (Daniel 12:1-2) this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation’.

(This clearly shows that the victory over death is swallowed up and the remaining of the church is taken off the earth to escape total destruction).

I Thessalonians 4:15-18
‘For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain (of the Church) unto the coming (second) of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (who have died in Christ). For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are (left) alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (resurrected dead Christians) in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words’

I Thessalonians 5:1-11

False Peace & Safety

‘But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord (second coming of Christ) so cometh as a thief in the night (watch and wait). For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they (the wicked) shall not escape’.

(1986 was declared worldwide as the International Year of Peace but God’s Word tells us there will be no peace (only death and destruction and God’s wrath).

‘But ye, brethren, (Christians) are not in darkness, (but in Christ’s glorious light) that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch (there’s that word again) and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, (his last Judgment, when Christ comes to judge the living and the dead, his reward is with him) but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (everlasting life for all in the Christ, and shame, contempt and damnation for all those in God’s wrath at the Second Coming of Christ) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do'

I Thessalonians 5:23
‘And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ’.

A further examination of the Scriptures reveal that God’s people are only taken at the end i.e. at his Second Coming and Final Judgment.

II Thessalonians 1:7-10
‘And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, (Christians, church) and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day’ (i.e. the day of the Lord, the Second Coming).

II Thessalonians 2:1-3

The Great Apostasy

The Antichrist

‘NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Second Coming) and by our gathering together unto him, (caught up to him) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, nether by spirit, nor by word, not by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (the day of the Second Coming) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, (departing from God’s truth and turning his Word into myths and lies) and that man of sin (the Antichrist) be revealed, the son of perdition’.

Both these signs have been revealed today. Verse 3 tells us Christ will not come for us until after the Antichrist has been revealed. So much for the false prophets who say he comes for his people at a secret Rapture of the Church BEFORE the Antichrist is revealed. As previously stated we go through all the great trouble, but are sealed by God and so He preserves his people to the end and the Second Coming.

The certainty of Christ’s Second Coming:

II Peter 3:3-14

Certainty of the Second Coming

Destruction of Earth by fire

New heavens anda new earth

‘Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (the days of Noah). But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; (the Second Coming will come as a surprise to the world and a snare, but not to the Christians of the light, who watch and wait for their deliverance just before God’s final wrath and judgment) in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of Persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?. Nevertheless we, (Christians) according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless’.

Once again these verses tell us of the day of the Lord, his Second Coming, the deliverance of his people and almost simultaneously the conclusion of this world system of things. As in Noah’s day, only Noah’s family was saved alive and at the end time, only God’s People are saved from judgment or the wrath of God. Once again Jesus gives us the same description of the Second Coming and salvation and almost simultaneously the end of the world in Luke 17:26-36:

Luke 17:26-36
‘And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man (or Second Coming of Christ). They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day (Second Coming of Christ) when the Son of man is revealed (seen coming in great power and glory). In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let hem likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left’.

God’s Spirit leads us into accurate knowledge of His Word and Truth, therefore in the light of His infallible Word, there are no texts written to support the teachings of:

- Pre-Millennialists or Pre-Tribulationists
- Mid-Millennialists or Mid-Tribulationists

The truth is before us – Christians will go through the Great Tribulation but be delivered (raptured the same day) before the day of God’s wrath (same time as the resurrection of the dead).

John 6:39

‘And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day

(The spirit goes back to God who gave it, then spirit, soul and body will be complete when we put on immortality on the day of the resurrection and rapture of the remaining church remnant).

John 5:25-29

Resurrection of Life & Resurrection of Damnation

‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: (same as Daniel 12:1-2 and I Thessalonians 4:15) and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation’.
II Timothy 4:7-8
‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me (the Apostle Paul) a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: (day of the Lord, the Second Coming, resurrection and rapture) and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing’.

As previously stated, Death is swallowed up in victory at the end. I now give you my final texts on this important teaching.

I Corinthians 15:20-27

Death destroyed

‘But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is expected, which did put all things under him’.
Matthew 13:37-43

‘He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good see are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear’

(As the Great Tribulation approaches we need to keep our eyes on Jesus Christ our Saviour, for our deliverance will be at hand, either in resurrection or rapture. Many Christians will be martyrs for their faith).

Revelation 14:11-13
‘And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast (Antichrist) and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them’.
Revelation 20:4-6
‘And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, (believing God) and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead (damned) lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death (lake of fire) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years’.

After the tribulation we have this wonderful text to reflect on from Acts 2:19-21:

‘And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’.
