TIMELINES:
Signs of the times:
Joel
2:31; Acts 2:20 and Rev. 6:12 tell us that one of the signs of the
end-times is that the
"moon is turned into blood", before the great and
terrible Day of the Lord.
This reddening of the moon is most likely caused by many volcanic
eruptions filling the upper atmosphere with ash, smoke and lava.
Whether this accumulation is over a short period of time, or
instantaneously, it is not certain. There is a hallmark
earthquake that preceedes this major volcanic eruption
(s)....Rev. 6:12
What we do know is what Joel's prophecy tells us.... that this
phenomenon will occur as the opening scene to the remaining 3 1/2
years of the Great Tribulation.
Timeline
for the Rapture:
No one knows for certain when the following events will occur.
The only certainty Paul gives us is that 2 events will occur
BEFORE the rapture of true Believers.
1. Declaration
by those of "multifaithism--interfaithism" stating that
all faiths are equal. It will condemn violence in the name of
religion, and will be so falsely worded as to include
Bible-believing Christians This will divide Christianity and is
known as the APOSTASY....a "falling away" from Biblical
Faith in Jesus Christ alone. 2 Thess. 2:3
"Come out of her [apostate
religion] my people".....REV. 17:4
Evangelical
Manifesto
-- June 20, 2008

2. Demonstration:
AntiChrist sitting in the Temple "SHOWING"
[demonstrating ] himself as God. 2 Thess. 2:3
So we need a Declaration and a Demonstration
before we can go in the rapture.
We will also hear a PROCLAMATION before we
go of "Peace and safety" (Security). But suddenly
destruction will fall.
Those ignorant of Bible prophecy will be caught off guard and the
Day of the Lord will come upon them as a thief.
But we who are enlightened by the Scriptures, will know when the
Day of the Lord arrives. 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5.
So first there will be a declaration, then a
demonstration, and a proclamation
before there can be a rapture.

TIMELINE- SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: Wars and Phenomenon
The following is a possible order of events in close succession.... time will tell. (based upon Rev. 6:12-17...the Six Seals)
1. A Great earthquake
New Madrid Fault ??? Juan de Fuca plate off of NorthWest United States ?? San Andreas Fault ??
then followed by ....
2. Major Volcanic eruptions...moon turns red and the sun turns black [Joel 2:31; Acts 2:20; Rev. 6:12]
East Pacific Rise ? ...Largest underwater Volcano just west of Central and South America?? "Popo" Volcano in Mexico?
We are currently having 5 to 6 times more volcanic eruptions per year than in 1995.
3. "stars fell, like untimely figs, shaken of a wind" (Rev. 6:13)
A great meteor-shower ?? Near-miss asteroids, comets?
4. "And the heavens departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; ...... limited Nuclear War ? SIX SEALS www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/6seals.html
5. and every mountain and island were moved out of their places"
Also, North Korea could possibly attack the U.S.
North Korea is presently as close to China as "lips to teeth". Is something up? There are closer ties now between Russia, North Korea and China.
Any nuclear exchange would result in setting off underground plates thus causing spasms of earthquakes world-wide .....Ezek.38:19,20
6. This could also be the time of the 7 Thunders mentioned in
Rev. 10, when many aggressor-nations will also make war with their enemies:
China vs. Taiwan,
Pakistan vs. India
North Korea vs. Japan and our bases in So. Korea, Okinawa, Guam.
various other conflicts....Macedonia
while the superpowers are distracted with the Mid-East.
All these conflagrations will shake the whole world.
"simultaneously and soon".
Please see 7 Thunders www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/7thunders.html
If the man of sin has arisen by this time---
performing 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2, "sitting in the Temple as God".....
then we are truly in the season of the Rapture
(also 1 Thess. Ch 5 "Peace and Safety" having been proclaimed).
Luke 18:29 and 2 Thess. 1:6-8 [see also Gen. 19:24] Rev. 6:13
Something to consider.
We may depart at the time that the Abomination of Desolation ( foreign army ) is standing on the Temple Mount, ready for take over.
The Parting of the Blue Sea
Also, our rapture more than likely coincides with the" war in heaven" spoken of in Rev. 12.
No wonder "the Lord Himself will descend with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God"
[ 1 Thess. 4:16]...only He can part us from between the devils and the deep blue sea of sky. (not to mention the meteors). This is truly awesome.
Sometime AFTER WW 3, Jerusalem will be taken over by the Gentiles
(Rev. 11)
"And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh" Luke 21:20
Now as we said earlier, IF the man has arisen, he would have proclaimed a pre-notice of sending troops (rapid deployment force) to Jerusalem, to provide Peace and Safety. (Security)
So the next prophetic fulfillment would be:
6. A Foreign Force ( Abomination of Desolation) standing in position at the Western (Wailing) Wall, Jerusalem, Israel [Matt.24:15-21]
7...At the same time
The Remnant flees [ Zechariah 13:8....1/3rd of Jewry ]
From the time that the Foreign Force is at the Wall, there will be
...1, 278 days left till Christ returns for His 1,OOO year reign. Rev. 20:4,6 (based on Gentile calendar)
...(Countdown begins when the Force is "standing in the Holy Place ".
365.25 days times 3.5 years = 1, 278 days "times of the Gentiles Luke 21:36
That is the timeline as we see it. Of course no one knows for sure, and only time will tell. Our priority is to be constantly vigilant about what is going on in world events and to be aware of the undercurrents. We are not to be deceived, gullible or naive. We are to be Word-Wise. We are to be constant in prayer. We are to "fear not", and to be strong.
We are to keep our eyes on Jesus no matter what distractions come.
"Even so, Come Lord Jesus" Rev/Apoc 22:20
