OK. I will give you eight verses in the Bible that proves that this and all similar versions of this timeline are incorrect. God has made it very simple, yet people are bound and determined to twist and stretch the scriptures to make them say what they want them to. All of these verses contain the words "last day" singular. These are the only verses where that term is used in the Bible.

Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

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.

John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

God uses the two verses in reference to the feast of tabernacles do let us know that the "last day" is referring to the end of our temporary dwelling on this earth. If you read up on the feast of tabernacles (booths) you will see what it represented.

God uses four verses to refer to the resurrection of New Testament era believers.

God uses one verse (speaking about Lazarus) to refer to the resurrection of Old Testament era believers.

God uses one powerful verse to show us that all these things take place at the same time, after our lives on earth are through, Judgement Day.

Therefore there cannot be a resurrection then seven years, then a thousand years, then another resurrection, then judgement. God simply explained that to us, and we must let the Bible alone interpret itself.

Please look at the timeline again, there is a SINGULAR DAY that is also even marked as the LAST DAY on the timeline. The Last Day is the Last Day for Everyone to get SAVED, the last day to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. It is also this Last Day that is a great day of sorrow, because of billions of people that were left behind on the LAST DAY that happens at an hour and day that only the Father knows. It will be a specific date.

Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate.

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.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. There is a LAST DAY on the timeline when the above verse will be fulfilled. The Saints will be Raised on the Last Day.

John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. The timeline shows that on the Last Day is when Jesus appears, therefore that is when they will see the Son, and those who have believed on Him will be Raptured (raised) up to be with Him, this is all reflected in the timeline.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. Again, the timeline plainly shows on the Last Day is when they are Raised up.

John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. see above response.

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. When Jesus shows up on Earth on the Last Day, and Raptures the Saints, there will be a great feast in the Holy City Jerusalem.

John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. So far nothing that you have said proves the timeline to be inaccurate.

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
This verse proves nothing in the timeline to be inaccurate. the Last Day is Judgement Day, it is on that day that Book of Life is opened and if your name is in it, you are Raptured (Raised) up to be with Him forever.

God uses the two verses in reference to the feast of tabernacles do let us know that the "last day" is referring to the end of our temporary dwelling on this earth. If you read up on the feast of tabernacles (booths) you will see what it represented.
It is the end of True Christians temporary dwelling on this Earth, because they the Saints are all Raptured up on the Last Day. But humans will still dwell on the Earth. Again, this does not prove anything in the timeline to be inaccurate.


God uses four verses to refer to the resurrection of New Testament era believers.

God uses one verse (speaking about Lazarus) to refer to the resurrection of Old Testament era believers.

God uses one powerful verse to show us that all these things take place at the same time, after our lives on earth are through, Judgement Day.
True for Christians ONLY. On the Last Day, the Rapture, The Book of Life being opened, Judgement Day, it will be the LAST DAY for all True Christians, because they are taken up with Jesus. True Christians will not live on the Earth because they were Raptured up to be with Christ on the LAST DAY. All of this is shown in the timeline.

Therefore there cannot be a resurrection then seven years, then a thousand years, then another resurrection, then judgement. God simply explained that to us, and we must let the Bible alone interpret itself.
Clearly you are not understanding the timeline, at all it seems. The timeline ONLY shows ONE resurrection of the Saints. It ONLY shows one Last Day when Christ appears.

You say {Therefore there cannot be a resurrection then seven years, then a thousand years, then another resurrection, then judgement.} NONE of this is in the timeline nor does the timeline reflect anything that you have said here, it must be what you THINK the timeline is showing. Please look at the timeline carefully and try to understand that line that you see that is in the middle of the timeline. is when the LAST DAY takes place, it is a Singular date in the middle of the 7 year Tribulation Period. ON that day, is when Jesus appears and the Saints are Raptured, right where the timeline reflects that event.

In your timeline you have Jesus returning after the trumpets are blown in the middle of your seven years. But the Bible tells us when the trumpet sounds the dead in Christ rise then we who remain are caught up to be forever with Him. Now you say the resurrection is on the last day of your timeline? That does not compute. And still the time sequence of your timeline is flawed the way you have written it. You show 6000 years (6 days to God) then seven days, then the final 1000 years (or one day to God). So is the 7 days a suspension of time? They aren't in the first 6000 years or the last 1000 years. Where in the Scriptures does it say that time is suspended for seven days between the first 6000 years and the final 1000 years?

The second thing that hurts your timeline is your reference to the Jews. There is a nation that claims to be Jewish, and many people claim to be Jewish, but that is where it ends. How were the Jews known from the time of Joshua until just after Jesus was ascended into heaven? By their genealogies. They kept detailed genealogies to prove they were true children of Abraham. Jesus referred to this. These genealogies were of utmost importance to the Jews. It was proof (in their mind) of them being the chosen of God by being of the twelve tribes of Israel. But Jesus prophesized the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. And what was kept there? These genealogies. In A.D. 70 Rome destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and made a point to destroy and eradicate the genealogies. They felt this would put an end to the Jewish rebellions. You can read about it in history if you don't believe me. So the genealogies ended, and only those recorded in the Bible are left. These genealogies kept track of the land your ancestors were allotted in the promised land. That is why it was kept with such detail. Even if you sold your inheritance, every 50 years it came back to you or your family. There is no evidence (which was required in the times of Christ) to prove that anyone today is a true descendant of Abraham or Isaac, or Jacob etc. Today there is no lineage or proof of anyone being truly Jewish, just practicing the lifestyle and religion as other religions do. That is why there can be no Messiah today as the Jews believe. There is no way to prove his lineage as Christ, the true Messiah did. Therefore you have fallen into the same mistake others have. You make the Jews be a nation of people on earth rather then what they are in the Bible, the Spiritual descendants of Abraham through Christ Jesus. The tribulation is about satan infiltrating the churches and ruining it with false gospels, false prophets, and false doctrines. People will think they are saved but they are not (read Matthew 7). It is a tribulation for those that are the true believers, members of the invisible church. We become outcasts of the churches that suffer the "abomination of desolation". We are persecuted like the Christians were in the times of Christ by the Jews. And then later in the times of Rome by nations. The book of Revelation is addressed to the Seven Churches, not the seven nations. Yet man in his pride must always make things about himself or the things he has created. To further prove this look at the verses that refer to the 144,000. You say they are from the 12 tribes of Israel. Where is the tribe of Dan? It is not the twelve tribes of Israel because Dan is not mentioned. Why would God do that if it is not to let us know He is not referring to the 12 literal tribes. I do not have all the answers, nor would I profess too, but your timeline is incorrect.

Another point in your response. You say the last day is in the middle of the seven years. Then how does time go on? We know that the Stars will fall from the heavens and the sun and moon will no longer give their light. The time keepers are gone, so how do we keep track of time? We know from Genesis that after the timekeepers are gone we enter eternity future just as eternity past ended with the creation of the timekeepers in Genesis.
