The End Times

• BEHOLD, I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP (ref Num 10); FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED-1 Cor 15:51,52.   

Page 3: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The End Times

• 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 ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM 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-1 Thes 4:16-18.

Page 8: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• They are as follows:

• a) The Antichrist will be released and allowed to set out to conquer the earth.

• b) The Antichrist will be allowed to take peace from the earth and cause many people to kill one another.

Page 9: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• c) The Antichrist will cause slave labor conditions to exist where people will be working for minimum pay just to be able to buy enough food for a day.

• d) The martyrs will cry out to God in heaven to avenge their deaths. God says to wait just a little while longer.

Page 10: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• e) God causes a great earthquake to hit the earth, causing every mountain and every island to move out of its place. He also causes the sun to turn black and the moon to look like blood.

• f) There is silence in heaven for a half an hour. An angel offers the prayers of God's people to Him to avenge them.

Page 11: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• 8. The 7 Trumpet Judgments

• These 7 judgments will occur during the middle to latter part of the Tribulation.

• They are as follows:

• a) God rains down hail and fire upon the earth - burning up one third of the trees and all of the green grass.

Page 12: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• b) God releases a meteor into the sea turning one third of the sea into blood, killing one-third of all living creatures in the sea and destroying one third of the ships that are on the sea.

• c) God releases another meteor, hitting one third of the rivers and springs, causing contamination of the water and many men to die.

Page 13: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• d) God strikes a third of the sun, a third of the moon and a third of the stars so that they give no light. This causes a third of the day not to shine.

• e) The bottomless pit is allowed to open up releasing a huge swarm of locusts to attack all the people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads. They are not allowed to kill these people, but to just torment them with their bite. These people will be seeking death and will not be able to find it.

Page 14: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• f) 4 demonic angels are released from the Euphrates river to kill a third of mankind. These 4 demonic angels will lead an army of 200 million demonic spirits to carry out this mass slaughter of humans.

• g) Heaven is now beginning to rejoice because God is releasing His wrath upon the wicked on the earth and extracting His vengeance. God then releases more lightnings, another earthquake and more great hail upon the earth.

Page 15: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• 9. The 7 Bowl Judgments

• These 7 judgments will occur during the latter part of the Tribulation. They are as follows:

• a) God causes loathsome sores to fall upon those who have the mark of the Beast.

• b) God causes the entire sea waters to become blood - killing every living creature in the seas.

Page 16: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

Page 17: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• f) The Euphrates river is allowed to dry up so as to prepare the way for the kings of the east to come to the battle of Armageddon.

• Then 3 demonic spirits are released from the mouths of the Antichrist and False Prophet and they go out to all the kings of the earth to bring all of them to the battle of Armageddon.

Page 18: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• g) God causes the greatest and most severe earthquake to hit the earth. The city of Babylon is completely finished off and swallowed up whole. This earthquake causes all of the islands to flee away and all of the mountains to be no longer found.

• God then rains down great hailstones weighing 135 pounds each.

• God then says: "It is done."

Page 19: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• 10. The Battle of Armageddon

• All the nations of the world come against Jerusalem.

• Half of the city will go into captivity, houses will be rifled and the women ravished.

• Then deliverance comes!

Page 20: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• Main Events That Will OccurAfter the Tribulation

• 1. The Second Coming of Jesus

• Immediately following the Tribulation and right in the middle of the battle of Armageddon, Jesus literally descends from heaven where every eye will be able to see Him. Jesus will land on the Mount of Olives and He will then destroy all of the invading armies who have come against Jerusalem.

Page 21: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

Outline of End Time Events

• Their flesh will dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes will dissolve in their sockets and their tongues will dissolve in their mouths.

• Jesus then throws the Antichrist and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone.

• Jesus then throws Satan into the bottomless pit where he is kept chained up for a 1000 years.

• The rest of unsaved humanity is kept in Hades until the 1000 Millennium Kingdom is over.

Page 22: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• As we saw last week everyone is familiar with the Bible's prediction of the “Battle of Armageddon” between Christ at his return and the world's armies under the Antichrist, but very few, even among Christians, are aware that the Bible speaks about another nuclear war preceding it.

• Many Middle East cities will be incinerated in one day.

• The world will be shocked and outraged. • Who will participate in this unexpected nuclear

war?

Page 23: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Israel will strike out with nuclear missiles or bombing runs against several Muslim countries.

• This may be in response to a United Arab-Muslim attack, or as an escalation in the recurring wars with Gaza and Lebanon, or may be to prevent the finalization of nuclear weapons manufacture in Iran or Syria.

• Damascus will be only one of the Muslim cities destroyed in the war, which leaves very little of the Muslim Middle East left and results in serious international consequences.

Page 24: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• After the shocking and devastating Islamic defeat, the Bible appears to indicate that there will be widespread panic and severe economic consequences throughout the world, much like a worldwide “9-11” event.

• Why have Christians never heard such a major prophecy as this before? One of the reasons is that the prophecies of this war are all in the Old Testament and none are found in the Book of Revelation. However, these prophecies of destruction on Muslim cities are repeated in several of the so-called Major and Minor prophets:

Page 25: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events• Isaiah 17:1 An oracle against Damascus: Look,

Damascus is no longer a city. It has become a ruined heap.

• Here Isaiah clearly prophesy’s that Damascus, the perennial capital of Syria, will be no more a city, but will lie in ruins. Some commentators state that this prophecy was partially fulfilled in 732 BC when the Assyrians conquered Damascus, but Damascus has never been “destroyed” to the point it ceased to be a city; in fact, Damascus is widely acclaimed as the “oldest continuously inhabited city” in the world.

Page 26: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Jeremiah 49:23-27 About Damascus: Hamath and Arpad are put to shame... 24 Damascus has become weak; she has turned to run; panic has gripped her. Distress and labor pains have seized her like a woman in labor. 25 How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings Me joy? 26 Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares; all the warriors will be silenced in that day. ... 27 I will set fire to the wall of Damascus; it will devour Ben–hadad’s citadels.

Page 27: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Amos 1:3-5 The Lord says: I will not relent from punishing Damascus for three crimes, even four, because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges. 4 Therefore, I will send fire against Hazael’s palace, and it will consume Ben–hadad’s citadels. 5 I will break down the gates of Damascus. I will cut off the ruler from the Valley of Aven, and the one who wields the scepter from Beth–eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir.

Page 28: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Isaiah 17:12-14 Ah! The roar of many peoples— they roar like the roaring of the seas. The raging of the nations— they rage like the raging of mighty waters. 13 The nations rage like the raging of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills and like dead thistles before a gale. 14 In the evening—sudden terror! Before morning—it is gone! This is the fate of those who plunder us and the lot of those who ravage us.

Page 29: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Look at the description: • 1. “the roar of many peoples and the raging of

many nations”, indicates that this takes place during an already occurring war, or at least during anti-Israeli posturing.

• 2. “In the evening—sudden terror! Before morning—it is gone!”, tells us that it is likely nuclear.

• 3. “those who plunder...ravage us” indicates this is during an attack or is at least waged against those who have attacked previously.

Page 30: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Review: Confirming The Sequence Of End Times Events

• A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

• He replied, "When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." (Matt. 16:2-3)

Page 31: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matt. 24:15-16)

• For then there will be great distress (Great Tribulation), unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. (Matt. 24:21)

Page 32: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• When it comes to developing any kind of time line concerning the End Times, the watershed event has to be the Abomination that Causes Desolation. Why? Because from that time forward, the Bible gives a very clear sequence of events.

• First, the Abomination is the event that kicks off the Great Tribulation, a period of judgments 3 1/2 years long.(Matt 24:15,21) 

• After the Great Tribulation, the Lord returns and following His return the Millennium begins.

Page 33: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• The Abomination can’t happen till the Temple’s built. But that can’t happen till a 7-year covenant is confirmed permitting its construction. (By the way, this 7-year period is often called Daniel’s 70th week because it’s the last week of years in a prophecy consisting of 70 weeks of years given to Daniel in about 538 BC. Dan. 9:24-27)

• The 7-year covenant can’t happen till someone from among the descendants of the Roman people emerges with a plan for peace in the Middle East.

Page 34: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• And that can’t happen till the battle described in Ezekiel 38-39 puts the Middle East in all out war.

• Ezekiel’s battle can’t happen until God is ready to reveal Himself to Israel again, bringing Jews from all over the world to Israel clamoring for a Temple so they can re-instate their Old Covenant relationship with Him.

• For all of my 25 plus years as a student of prophecy, scholars have been expecting the Battle of Ezekiel 38. 

Page 35: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Yet the conditions that make it possible have never been met. 

• For one thing, the participants are not all in place, but more importantly Israel has never known a single day of peace, let alone the prolonged period necessary for them to be described as a peaceful and unsuspecting people, the way Ezekiel did (Ezek. 38:11).

Page 36: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• Something has to happen to make them feel like they no longer have a threatening enemy while leaving Iran, Russia, and the other nations Ezekiel identified in position to attack.

• Recently, several writers, myself included, have seen two other Old Testament prophecies as likely preludes to Ezekiel 38. 

• In Psalm 83 it appears that all of Israel’s next door neighbors will rise up in an attack intended to destroy the Jewish nation, and Isaiah 17 specifically mentions Israel’s destruction of Damascus. 

Page 37: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• The defeat of Israel’s neighbors fills in two more blanks in the end times sequence. 

• First, it explains why none of them are mentioned in Ezekiel 38, when logic dictates that they should be right in the thick of things. 

• Second, it reveals how the Jews can be caught with their guard down. 

• With Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the others defeated, Israel will finally have some breathing room.

Page 38: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• The Battle of Psalm 83/Isaiah 17, the Battle of Ezekiel 38, anti-Christ’s appearance as a peace maker, the 70th week of Daniel begins, the Abomination that Causes Desolation takes place, then the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming, the Millennium, and Eternity.

• The first of these could be very close. • So close that you can almost hear the

footsteps of the Messiah.  11-05-08

Page 39: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events

• As for signing the treaty after the Lord has just won them a great victory, I think it’ll be seen as a world leader acknowledging that fact and acting to help them. Isaiah 49:22-23 tells them that when they return to God, it will be Gentile Kings who’ll be helping them.

Page 40: Antichrist and the End Times Part 3: The Chronology of the Events of the End Times Part 2: Israel’s History and The Beginning of the End.

The Likely Scenario of End Time Events• "If Israel does nuke Damascus, I believe the whole world

will step back in shock and the cry will be for peace [Hello Antichrist] before things get further out of hand, not retaliation. It’s possible that the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 would even set the stage for the false peace that precedes Ezekiel 38.

• In summary, while Isaiah 17 could take place before winter, Ezekiel 38 is probably still a ways off."

• And that's where we are, TODAY!• 1) Rapture, 2) Lebanon/Syria War, 3) Ezekiel War,

4)Antichrist Man of Peace, 5)Rebuild the Temple, etc.

• Author of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy report Nicholas Blanford told Press TV correspondent Ali Rizk in an October interview that UN Resolution 1701, which ended the second Israeli war on Lebanon, would never be sufficient to maintain calm.

• "Yes, 1701 stopped the war obviously in 2006. It stopped the fighting. I mean it saved the Israelis, the Israelis were obviously in deep trouble as various internal investigations and reports and commissions have elaborated," said Blanford.

• "It was kind of an unfinished war in many respects. • Hezbollah, for their part, recognized Israeli unease

and unhappiness with the outcome of the war," he continued.

• According to Blanford, the US presidential elections as well as the upcoming elections in Israel, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran are key political developments that could easily "trigger a war".

• Other political analysts also believe that a third Israeli war against Lebanon may be in the offing.

• "This is not the first time that the Israelis threaten Lebanon.

• There have been a lot of threats ever since the end of the July war in 2006 and its humiliating defeat has been a blow to the whole Israeli military institution," says political analyst Ibrahim Moussawi.
