John's chronology continued.
◘ The two witnesses show up, probably just 3 1/2 days before the division point of the week. They will continue for the next 1260 days.
◘ Chapter 11 continued The 7th trumpet sounds as the man of sin enters the temple and declare's he is God. It is the abomination Jesus spoke of. This becomes the division point of the week. The first 1260 days (not mentioned) are over.
◘ Chapter 12:6 continues on from chapter 11: the 7th trumpet: 12:6 is only seconds after the abomination, proving that the 7th trumpet is the marker for the midpoint. 12:6 are those in Judea fleeing because they saw the abomination.
◘ There are two more countdowns to the end of the week here: 1260 days, and time, times and half of time, proving chapter 12 is a midpoint chapter.
◘ There is war in heaven and Satan is cast down. He goes after those who fled, but failing there goes after all who love Jesus
◘ John sees the Beast rise up: chapter 13 He is given 42 months, the last countdown to the end, proving chapter 13 is still a midpoint chapter.
◘ John sees the second Beast enter the scene.
◘ The rest of chapter 13 is probably written as a parenthesis telling us what the Beast and False Prophet will do to create the days of GT.
◘ Chapter 14 sees the 144,000 are now in heaven as the firstfruits of the Hebrews. Then God gives 3 warnings to all people in their own language. This is probably about where the days of GT begin.
◘ Next in John's vision is a very symbolic prophecy of the coming harvest, first of the righteous being beheaded, then of the wicked being killed as in Armageddon.
◘ Chapter 15 sees the beheaded BEGIN to show up in heaven. Then the preparations for the 7 angels with plagues and bowls of wrath.
◘ The days of GT are reaching a peak as probably millions are being beheaded.
◘ God pours out the first 5 vials immediately to shorten the days of GT. These vials will render people helpless to carry on their beheadings.
◘ At the right time, the 6th vial will begin the process of gathering the nations' armies to Israel
◘ The 7th vial ends the week and ends the Jewish age. It is "the last day." God will resurrect the OT saints causing the worst earthquake ever to hit earth. Probably millions from before the flood will be raised.
◘ Chapters 17 describes the Beast's empire and the city from which he deceived the entire world.
◘ Chapter 18 describles the utter destruction of the harlot city, Jerusalem
◘ Chapter 19 shows the marriage and supper in heaven, then Jesus return to Armagdden, the taking of the Beast and False Prophet, and the battle of Armageddon.
◘ Chapter 20 shows us the millennial kingdom starting.
No need for any rearranging. It is a straight walk through history and then the future. All we must watch for is some parenthesis, and intermissions. ANY theory that must rearrange these ordered events to fit, will be proven wrong.
