"The antichrist signs a treaty, and establishes a coventant with all for seven years! That's the seventieth week of Daniel!!!"
I understand, but please, be openminded, and try not to freak out. What I propose is a seven year period before the antichrist, in which the seals are opened, and the trumpets are blown. I've read nowhere that says that the white horseman is the antichrist, and if you have, please, tell me where so I can correct myself. I also understand that some of my terminology may confuse some people, and if this is the case, ask me to clarify before you chain me to the telephone pole and stone me to death. I've posted this on other forums and was met with reactions ranging from passive aggressive sniping, to understanding, and from all out mockery (which I never take too well, although I'll try to be graceful if encountered with it here.) to being called names. I like questions, but if you want to be a meanie about it, please try and remember, I'm not trying to confuse, or write my own doctrine. I'm a Bible Christian, and I believe that as my brothers and sisters, you can all act Christian about any questions or problems you have with my timeline. I haven't done any overlapping, and there's no gap insterted anywhere, it's non-Preterist, and non-Dispenionalist. The spans of time are based on seal number seven (silence for a half and hour), and trumpet number five (they hurt men for five months), and all seals and trumpets are broken down into six month segments because of this.
My motivation for this timeline stemmed from a question I posed to myself:
Given what we know wbout the Bible, and Biblical prophecy, what could possibly hapen that would deceive the very elect? As I pondered, I came to the conclusion that if seven years passed, and all of these things that could be called seals and trumps happened, who would everyone on Earth expect next? This is the only way the antichrist could be accepted, as anyone who stands up during the seals and trumps would be instantly called antichrist (because it is commonly thought antichrist will come durring the seals and trumps), and if he died at the hands of someone, who would the world think HE was? If seven years of seals and trumpets passed, and a man stood up to unite the world, how many churches would proclaim him 'Christ'? I feel that this is the only possible way the elect could be deceived, due to the depth of the knowledge in Bible prophecy in the Christian community these days, and the lack of outside non-Biblical doctrine in most congregations. We as His flock, need to be wise as serpents, and this wisdom needs to be available to all, meaning one shouldn't have to know other languages to understand the Bible, nor the prophecy in it. Children should understand it, and assigning crazy, jump-around, overlapping timelines to the last days of the current age of man is counter-layterm. If Revelation were written as a riddle, it would hardly be a Revelation, now would it?
Now, without any further delay, I give you my timeline, based on a linear interpretation of Revelation, citing primarially Revelation. I know, there are other prophetic books in the Bible. But Revelation is the only one labeled 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ', and in the New Testament. I'm not degrading the value of the others, but I feel that the book of Revelation is a one stop shop for all we're going to encounter in those last days, and is inclusive of all prophecy in all other books regarding the last days. Once again, if I'm wrong, give me the scripture to support my incorrect view, and I'll accept it gracefully. Also, I understand a vast majority of the events start in Jerusalem (ie- Ezekiel 9), but as a Christian, I'm going from a worldview, as opposed to a Jerusalem centric point of view, since there are Christians everywhere on Earth.
Here it is:
Unofficial Theoretical Timeline
Rev 6:1,2
1st Seal - day 0 - 180: White Horseman goes out to conquer. King type, possibly the EU, or an EU affiliated nation. Of note are the bow and crown. The bow, being a ranged weapon, not meant for close contact warfare suggests missiles, or even a Bay of Pigs type of conquest, in which a developed country uses thier nuclear arsenal to intimidate other nations into submission. Another possibility is a Parthian Bow concept, which means a shot or blow which one cannot recover from. A possibility is the 30', 14 ton Tungsten rods floating around the earth designed as inertia weapons. These would, in essence, cause a multimile wide crater in the earth, along with a shock wave that could be felt around the world up to 3 times. The crown suggests a king, president, or other supreme dignitary which controls this action. You'll notice, the rider of this white horse doesn't have a crown, but is given a crown, possibly meaning he is appointed and then starts his conquest at the beginning of his reign. This man will obviously be mistaken for the antichrist, as that is oftentimes who he is labeled as. This is one of the first deceptions, having existed far prior to this horseman's ride, and started by God knows who. Common sense tells you otherwise, as the mathematic harmony of the Book of Revelation suggests it is a point for point, in order timeline of events to occur. The mathematic structure of Revelation can be discussed with a man named Vernon Jenkins, MSc, who has done extensive research on the mathematic structure of the Bible, finding that the first five (Torah), and the last (Revelation) books of the Bible display a statistically impossible harmony to imbed without one actually being inspired and guided by God Himself during the writing process. (That's right. Proof of the Bible.)
Rev 6:3,4
2nd Seal - day 181 - 360: Red Horseman goes to make war. Good chance this red horseman is the reunified USSR, along with it's new allies China, Iran, Sudan, Libya, and maybe Cuba. This is likely the Army of Gog, and WW3 follows. China and Russia seem givens, as one is a poor ex-red state that secretly despises the West, and also happens to make weapons, the other a current red state that openly, yet passivly (economically) hates the West, has butt loads of money and wants to buy weapons. This will probably be easily noted by thier attack on Israel, and outwardly labeled the second seal by the big Biblical 'scholars' on tv, and in the churches around the world. Further, the color Red not only denotes war, bloodshed and violence, but possibly the political banner they (Russia and China) unite under.
Rev 6:5,6
3rd Seal - day 361 - 540: Black Horseman rides to spread famine. This famine could be caused intentionally by the red horseman and a possible nuclear attack, or by simply invading it's enemy countries and poisoning food supplies. The militias in Africa which use hunger and food control to gain leverage in thier regions are great examples of what a lack of food can do to a nation/s.
Rev 6:7,8
4th Seal - 541 - 720: Pale Horseman rolls out, and along comes the zombies, which is probably where a lot of people start to lose faith, since there is no mention of zombies in the Bible, and everyone insists the dead in Christ rise first. The zombies are a foreign idea to Biblical prophecy, as they are never considered an optio, but the greek translation of Revelation 6:8 doesn't include the word 'Hell', but rather, the word 'Hades', which is literally the land of the dead, the dead themselves, or the god of the dead. Either way, if Hades follows, you either have the physical manifestation of dead people over the foruth part fo the world, or massive posessions causing those who are infected (possibly a disease, oddly enough, see Land of the Dead, and a host of other zombie movies. lol), posessed, or otherwise effected to slaughter people in "The fourth part of the earth". The phrasing of this could mean either a certain part of the earth, as in the fourth part, or a literal quarter of the Earth, meaning the death of 1.5 billion people.
Rev 6:9-11
5th Seal - 721 - 900: Saints and Martyrs call out for justice, and from the way the scripture is written, it seems as though they have no clue what's going on, as most of that which has happened in the last 2 years has been all but unconceivable. But, those which are sealed are not yet 'home', so nothing changes, and nothing stops. God has a very concise list of people that are to be martyred and sent to the Kingdom, and until every single last soul on that list is received, bad times continue.
Rev 6:12-17, 7:1-17
6th Seal - 901 - 1080: Probable pole shift, noted by the new slant in the earth, causing a massive shift in the jet stream, causing gigantic storms, and earthquakes. The sun may turn black due to the authors perspective, or as a result of a massive ash cloud triggered by the possible volcanic activity caused by the earthquake, and volcanos along the pacific rim due to the probable pole shift. Continents may dislodge. Moon may turn red due to an ash cloud, or some change in Earth's upper atmosphere due to the massive climate change. "Stars falling" may suggest hot ash pellets raining on the surrounding areas. Re: Mt. Vesuvius. The wind no longer blows, and the horsemen stop thier ride, either from injury or because God had just scared thier masses into shock. God sends his messengers to seal the chosen people at night, see Ezekiel 9, which tells of the beginning of this undertaking in Jerusalem. At this point, the invaders from Iran, Sudan, Libya, and the rest of the Muslim world are slaughtered overnight, confounding the world, and further accentuating God's, and backing up the prophecy scholars and students.
Rev 8:1-5
7th Seal - 1081 - 1260: Everything stops. But wait! The fun hasn't even started yet!!! At this time, most should be utterly confused on Earth, and have no clue what's going on, having abandoned the prospect of Biblical prophecy after the zombies and premature stoppage of the one everyone thinks is the antichrist. Now is a time of profound confoundment, and shaky knees. There should be either a worldwide meteor shower, or even worse, 'aliens'. I know it sounds weird, but who else would the little guys in the disks be but the Nephilim?
-Trumpets-
Note: There are thunderings, voices, and lightenings, and finally, another earthquake. Probable date unk.
Rev 8:6,7
1st Trumpet - 1261 - 1440: Hmmm...hail and fire mingled with blood, and spread about the earth. Sounds like a supervolcano erupting. A third of the trees and all green grass are burnt. Yellowstone Caldera? Also, probable date of the Two Witnesses starting their ministry (Rev 11:1-13). The outer temple is given to the gentiles for 42 months, aka, 3.5 years during their ministry as a sanctuary, or possibly taken by seige by the enemy of God. Keep in mind, that neither the first nor the second beast kills the witnesses, but rather, the dragon from the pit. This is important, as it plays directly into the "dragon is antichrist", "beast is dragon" mindset the Roman church has shovel-fed the masses. This simply isn't so, and there is no scripture to support this doctrine.
Rev 8:8,9
2nd Trumpet - 1441 - 1620: Great, now a meteor hits a major body of water (No, not like a lake, like an OCEAN.), and kills a third of the fish, and sinks a third of the ships. This is obviously a meteor because, well, what else could a big chunk of rock slamming into the sea be? It ain't a teddy bear or a tricycle, I'll tell ya that.
Rev 8:10,11
3rd Trumpet - 1621 - 1800: A comet, aptly named 'Wormwood' (Chernobyl in Russian), hits the source of a major water supply, a third of the rivers and streams are radiated, and a lot of people die from radiation poisoning. The difference between the two, the meteor and the comet, is composition. Meteors are comprised of rocks, metals, debris, and other hard materials, while comets are comprised mainly of frozen gasses, liquids, and other soft materials. The appearance of the meteor of the second trump being of fire, and the comet of the third trump being as a star, or lamp falls entirely on thier composition, and how either would react upon entering Earth's atmosphere. The windless environment of Earth after the sixth seal allows the radioactive (possibly) contamination of the comet Wormwood to stay in one confined area, and spread only through the water supply instead of creating worldwide fallout as it would in our current environmental status.
Rev 8:12,13
4th Trumpet - 1801 - 1980: Likely due to all of the debris (meteoric and comet blowback, supervolcanic ash) floating around in our windless upper atmosphere, the days are now 2/3 shorter than they were, and food is probably growing scarce. This may trigger a 'food is currency' system, and Ramen Noodles might be this year's gold. The darkness can be explained by the thickness of said debris in relation to the sun's angle to the sun. The debris floating about would seem thicker at the horizons due to the Earth's spherical shape, and the light would only be able to make it through when at a higher point from our perspective. Woe to the earth, because now, the gloves come off. The three woes follow.
Rev 9:1-12
FIRST WOE
5th Trumpet - 1981 - 2160: A star falls and opens 'the pit', releasing locust horses that hurt the non-sealed for 5 months. My theory: "Aliens" (At least that's what they'll be called, confirming Saganism), aka, the fallen angels of the rebellion in Heaven, return overtly, and 'put a whoopin on a vast majority of the people remaining on earth, except those whom God had sealed before the seventh seal. They just seem too strange sounding to be helicopters or mutant manmade clone dinosaurs or something. They are ruled by Abaddon, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, and appropriately, the hunter of mankind and destroyer of things good, righteous, cuddly, or otherwise genuinely pure and innocent. These five months will most likely convince the world that the sealed are in cahoots with the destroyer, as he can't hurt them. Perhaps the Persecution gets a kick start, and Christians become targets again for exclusion, suspicion, or even attempted genocide. I say attempted because at this point, and throughout the three woes, those sealed by God are protected for the first three warm up beatings the heathens are to receive. Basically, we just get to watch.
Rev 9:13-21, 10:1-7
SECOND WOE
6th Trumpet - 2161 - 2340: Four angels ruling over a combination of 200,000,000 troops go out to slay a third of the non-sealed men. The beasts ridden by these horsemen are like dragons with snakeheads on thier tails, that breathe fire, smoke and brimstone. Not only does a third of the remaining sinful men die, but more importanly, none of the sealed meet this fate, probably escalating the attempted violence against the sealed faithful remnant. By now, the remaining 2/3 of the sinful men are probably ENFURIATED at the sealed folks, and not only have disbelief in God, but a hatred for His followers. Also, an angel stands with his feet in both the sea and the land, and declares by He who lives forever and ever that there is "TIME NO MORE". I'm not sure if this means the Earth stops turning, or if it means that those who are lost now, are lost forever without Christ.
Rev: 10:3,4
SEVEN THUNDERS do thier thundering.
Rev: 11:15-19
THIRD WOE
7th Trumpet - 2341 - 2520: The seventh angel sounds, and Heaven becomes fricking VISIBLE, along with His ark and a bunch of lightening. It may not seem all that scary to those who are faithful, but to those who dedicated the last six and a half years to worshiping trees and little rocks and demons and stuff, this is terrifying. Also, the Witnesses die at the hand of the big red dragon. There is lightning, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. Uh oh, the Witnesses woke up too (day 2523?), and ascended to Heaven, which really shocks all the newly God fearing people who now have PROOF, and a nice warm puddle of pee pee to stand in. They are now prepped to receive the false Christ.
Now, there is the swing time, when the world has just found out, unrefutably, that there is most certainly a God, and that all of the things that have happened have happened for as reason. Unfortunately, most people believe in a 7 year total trib and return concept, which was constructed by the very church that is to seize power during this time...the last standing physical church on earth, which still sits in ROME. I mean, who better to give the world advice than the 'Replacement of Jesus' (vicarius filii dei, the Popes literal title), since we just found out there is most certainly a God and all. This is all fine and dandy, because there is about to be a great sign in the heavens, and the antichrist is to come forward to start his overwhelming humanitarian work, and eventually proclaim himself the messiah at the head of both the Roman Catholic Church (The sun the woman is clothed in), and the Islamic faith (The moon at her feet.), and the twelve stars being the 'ascended masters of the twelve major world faiths which are to be combined into the final one world religion which are to be headed by the man child of the woman (church), which is the finalized apostate church. Don't get too excited, because now the giant red dragon is going to receive the rest of his whoopin that started some 14 thousand or so years ago from Michael, and the rest of God's angels. Oh yeah, and we all get to watch. At this time, God has softened everyone up, and everyone has either made up thier mind as to who they are behind, and who they support. There is purpose in the sealing of God's people wayyyyy back at the sixth seal, because they all still live on earth, and are henceforth exiled from the fake faith they refuse, along with the fake mark of the beast, which is the king of the New Roman Empire: The Crown Prince Merovignian of England!
(This is only MY guess, and rests entirely on his birthdate, name, previous humanitarian work, geographical location, religious claims, and bloodline)
WILLIAM V | VVIIIIAM V | I AM VIVIVI
Yeah, he'll be the right age (Same age as Jesus when He started His ministry) at this time, too. It should be either on his 30th birthday, or 180 days past, which is the beginning of the Mayan's and Egyptian's so called Golden Age: Day 2520, and end of the final trumpet. He'll be declaring himself 'Hamashiach' on day 3780 on his actual 33rd birthday, a scant 75 days from the vanishing on day 3855, at night. This is the date of the 'rapture' of the church, and the real cause for confusion, since it was supposed to happen some 7 years ago. From here, the final seven bowls of God's pissed-offed-ness gets dumped on the apostate church. Note, after the rapture, the only way to God is through martyrdom, and refusal of the mark of the beast. This beginning of the "Golden Age" is that which will confuse the very elect, as everyone insists that there is a seven year "from start to Jesus" tribulation. As soon as these seven years are up, and all of these amazing things have happened, along with the permanent banishment of the dragon from Heaven (Which will result in his desperation moves to follow, figuring if he can't be God, he'll damn all of God's people. The sealed know better.), all on Earth are going to assume that the next to stand up and claim to be Messiah will be He Himself, or Jesus Christ that is. It is this that will suck mankind into receiving the mark of the beast in thier forehead, which is the belief that this imposter is the Christ (faith), and in thier right hand, as they actively worship this phony (works). The sealed, knowing better, especially after the death and ressurection of the witnesses, will refuse and either be hunted down and killed for refusing to aknowledge him as Christ, or will live the next 75 days in absolute terror, not able to find shelter anywhere, or food and other staples.
The Bowls for Mr. Beasty Pants:
Bowl 1 - Boils...ya do't get much more straight forward here. Deep abcesses in the skin and maybe even internal organs. Excruciating pain and death from sepsis are likely companions. Pain is a certainty, which is known by anyone who's ever had a good sized boil. Yeah, now imagine that ALL OVER YOUR BODY. Painful? Psh, to say the least.
Bowl 2 - All water in the sea turns to blood, all fish die, and O2 is no longer as available as it was prior to, since a vast amount of oxygen is produced by ocean bound algae. The drop in oxygen triggers either a rapid dequantavolution in the health of men, animals, and plants, or forces everyone indoors to actually breathe properly.
Bowl 3- All potable water turns to blood. Yuck. I'm sure the smell's not all that great either once the sun starts to warm it up. Give it a week, and the WHOLE world will smell like a pool of blood on a hot day.
Bowl 4 - Ozone layer disappears, and horrific sunburns along with malignant malenomas help to hide the hideous boils. It probably hurts to breathe, move, or even think about now.
Bowl 5 - Babylon falls in a day, and darkness covers the beast's kingdom. Babylon is the capitol of the beast's kingdom, and likely the center for his operations. Like the Washington DC of the world. Lots of crying and gnashing of teeth follow, as this is unthinkable by those left on earth.
Bowl 6 - The beast pulls together his troops to make war against God at Harmeggido. The dragon, who has been very quiet since the end of the fight, along with the false prophet Mr. Imam Mahdi, and the antichrist dispatch three unclean spirits to call together the armies of the world to stand behind the beast.
Bowl 7 - Not only do they lose, but they get to deal with hundred pound hailstones too. Splat, beeatch.
Day 5040, the fate of everything is sealed, and the new kingdom is established. Any and all evil is exterminated, and no longer exists. The sealed, saints, martyrs, babies, and hopefully my golf clubs get to live with Jesus forever and ever in the New Jerusalem for a thousand years, or rather, a long, unending period of time, without need for food, or anything outside of faith alone and God's love.
Notes:
The First beast is the theopolitical system that is the new rome. It is headed by one, but given the form of a democracy, which is the purpose of the ten heads. After a small uprising, the antichrist absorbs three of the ten kingdoms, and becomes the 'little horn', placing his temporary throne in Brussels, until the new Rome is moved to Jerusalem on Day 3780. Amnongst those who will realize what's going on are people form all faiths who convert, and those apart of bastard Christianities like Mormonism, JW's, Catholics, Protestants, Dispensionalists, etc. that have no real basis in scriptural Christianity, and rely almost entirely on doctrine written by men.
The Second beast is the false prophet/s, which has two horns like a lamb. This not only means that they have the sound and appearance of peaceful and kind men, but that there are actually known most commonly as Imam Mahdi, and Maitreya, who are to go out and claim that Jesus (Played by Maitreya) was never crucified, and isn't the savior, and the 'real' savior is being brought in by this Imam Mahdi fellow. Essentially, Imam is pretending to be John the Baptist, and laying a path for little Willy boy as the 'real' Hamashiach. This Fake John will go about with Fake Jesus and apologize fraudulently for the 'misunderstanding'. These two will be called ascended masters, and will herald the comming of the one they will call the twelfth master, the messiah, lord and savior of the world. These acsended masters comprise the twelve stars surrounding the church's head, along with El Morya, Djwahl Khul, Hilarion, Mary, Nada, Serpis Bey, Racoksky, St. Germain, Paul the Venetian, and Khutumi, all of which are likely fallen angels of high rank underneath the fallen lucifer.
This image of the beast, which is given life, is actually a statue built to pass judgement on those unsealed few remaining before the rapture, which I will politely refer to as the 'fence sitting lucky folks who get to die martyrs' who are awarded with decapitation, or some other form of public execution. These are the only non-sealed (At the sixth seal) to enter into heaven, and they enter as martyrs either resisting, refusing, or defending others like themselves from the beast system. Beware, the two of the second beast will seem genuine and will do amazing things. Make no mistake, they are as dragons.
Magic exists, astrology works, and demons can be summoned. None-the-less, we are told not to practice any of them. So, wether they exist or not, do even think about it. It's not an option, and will cause you more trouble than it will save you from. Think: "LONG RUN". Eternity is a really long time.

PS - Rome says the Jews are correct in awaiting the Messiah. Keep that in Mind.
And that's my theoretical, hypothetical, rehtorical timeline which I wrote all by myself, based on 2 and a half years of constant obsession and compulsion to understand everything there is to understand on the subject of the enditmes and the mystery religion of the beast's kingdom. The faith is already pretty much built and only needs to be fleshed in by these events to gain validity amongst those to be decieved in the end time. The freemasons are to built the temple and have been holding these secrets, although a good 99.95% of them have no idea currently of that which they are apart of, since a key masonic doctrine is to lie to the initiate until it's determined that they can participate in the 33° Scottish Rite sharing of this secret. Thier key beliefs stem from Rosicrusianism, Theosophy (Helen Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, the foundation of the Ascended Masters theology), Kabbalah, and Apolloism, also commonly known as sun worship, Gematria, and other mystery faiths. The worship of light is most easily noted by light's properties, namely, the ability to be a constant straight line, and bend but never break, reflect but never move from a fixed point without outside stimuli. Basically, it's the measurement, and the masonic anchor for thier faith in Lucifer.
(Written listening to winamp channel: Bebop 24x7...get on it for the best jazz around.)
That concludes my theoretical, common-sensical interpretation of Revelation from a lay term standpoint. Please, take time to flip through your Bible and compare the points noted. I feel pretty strongly that this is a more realisitic version, not based on science, but oddly enough, based on my gut instinct, and drive to write it. I spent three months working on it, and started after more than 2 years of research on the NWO, mystery religions, and other factors supports in the antichrist and beast system. I don't want to point fingers at any gorup of people, but rather doctrines and chruches, because while I don't think Catholics worship the devil on purpose, I do think they worship Apollo everytime they go to mass, even though they think they're worshipping Jesus Christ. I try to look at it from Jesus' point of view; hate the sin, love the sinner. Afterall, noones perfect, and even the most hardcore atheist is going to be converted in His light, and even the most devout Muslim will drop his koran and follow in His glory when He returns, so please, don't take it as passing judgement, take it as what I consider forewarning, to save some people the confusion they might face. I hope you enjoyed the timeline, and found it at least interesting. In summary - Seals - 3.5 years, Trumpets - 3.5 years, antichrist setting up kingdom - 3.5 years, antichrist setting himself up as god and getting a serious sapnking from the real God, 3.5 years.
Thank you for your time, and God bless you.
