111111111111111111111 A word of introduction by the Author: Welcome to Rapture Generation Ministries. A generation that will be dominated by the pre-rapture rise, reign of Antichrist and his defeat after the rapture at Christ's visible return.This generation will see an avalanche of prophecies fulfilled both before and after the rapture. To say that no prophecy has to be fulfilled before the rapture is ignoring a large amount or prophetic scripture found in timeframes 1, 2, 3 (master chart below). When pre-rapture events begin to be fulfilled and the Church does not have the answers, Jesus warned a great host of false teachers and false prophets will try to fill the vacuum and lead many astray from the truth and not to go after them. Jesus also said Satan will do the same after the rapture in timeframes 4, 5 (master chart below). This last generation (5 timeframes of master chart below) that ends with Christ's visible return make up what I call the rapture generation - hence the title of this ministry. You can click almost anywhere on these charts and all the scriptures connected with any of the 5 timeframe numbers or related events will be displayed either as web page or power point presentation. These timeframe and events are explained fully and in their right eschatological order. For a quick overview of each timeframe and related events just browse through remainder of this page. An excellent intro to the rapture generation is the power-point presentation on Jesus discourse on end times that He gave on the Mount of Olives (located right after main chart below). To view presentation just click presentation button below Jesus picture of Him sitting on the mount.
It is very good to know prophecy for the rapture generation. It is far better to be saved from the power of sin. To know in your heart that Jesus Christ the eternal Son of God died for your sins on an old rugged cross on a hill called Mount Calvary. Then He rose from the dead to be at His Father's right hand. He sent His precious Holy Spirit to be with you and in you once you truly believe the Gospel - the good news of God's mighty salvation contained in His Holy Word - the Bible. When you have accepted Him as your personal savior you are born into the true family of God and His eternal Kingdom. Then, whether you are dead or alive, when the rapture takes place you will then meet your savior and together we will rule and reign with Him as Kings and Priests forever over His everlasting and ever increasing Kingdom (see Kingdom). Do not play Church and not be saved, especially when all the signs of His coming are been fulfilled. It is the foolish unsaved of the Church that do not go up in the rapture to meet their Lord but will be left behind and go into the great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation period (timeframe 4 - see master chart). The Bible says today is the day of salvation. Please - get right with God now - He is waiting and for some of you God has waited along time. God bless you and thank you for visiting my website.

*Note: Book of Revelation chapters in master chart above go along with each timeframe. After Rev 3 John is caught up to God's throne and records events from heavens point of view from Rev 4 to Rev 11. These chapters cover the rapture, great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation and the 7 year terrible Day of the Lord. From Rev 12 to Rev 19 John covers the rapture, great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation and the 7 year terrible Day of the Lord but this time from earth's point of view. This way John gives us the full picture of what the great number of raptured and resurrected Saints will be doing in heaven as Christ opens the 7 seals but also what billions of people on earth (including the church left behind after the rapture) will going through and experience.

Mount Olives Discourse - Jesus
adds to Daniel and Revelation

Jesus said the rapture generation would not pass till all the things He spoke of in Matt 24 and Luke 21 would be fulfilled. This powerful power-point presentation introduces you to Jesus discourse on the Mount of Olives overlooking the temple of Jerusalem. This is where Jesus answered the disciples questions about what signs would end the age and what would be the signs of His coming back. Jesus knew the rapture would be on the hearts and minds of many Christians during these times. In both Matthew 24 and Luke 21 we will see that Jesus answers can be divided into 3 sections:

                                          (1) Signs leading up to the rapture
                                         (2) Signs that end the Church age
                                         (3) Signs that that lead up to Christ's visible return

            Mt 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled

The Tabernacle of Moses - A time setter for Age of Law, Church Age, Millennium

Prophetic times from Moses Tabernacle used as a basis for times used in the rapture generation charts

The Rapture time factor is very important for no man knows the day or hour. However, Rapture Generation Ministries believes that the Tabernacle of Moses (chart above) that God told Moses to build according to the exact pattern is a vast storehouse of both Old Testament and New Testament truths. While there are many repectable books and videos that do an exhustive study of these truths, most agree that within its measurements of the outer court, Holy place, Holy of Holies as showing the approximate lengths of the Age of the Law (about 1500 yrs), Church Age or age of Grace (about 2000 yrs) and the Millenium Age (1000 yrs) when Christ visibly returns. Based on this we assume that the Church Age will end around 2032-33 A.D.. We also know from scripture that the last 3 1/2 years of the Church age is the great Christian tribulation period. We also know the rapture takes place right before the 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation period so again we assume the rapture will take place by 2030 A.D.. We also know following the end of the Church Age that Daniel's 70th week (lasts 7 years - same as Day of the Lord time period = see charts) must be fufilled. We know that these last 7 years will be a time when Antichrist makes a 7 year treaty Antichrist makes with Israel. In the middle of Daniel's 70th week Antichrist invades Israel and the great Jewish tribulation period called time of Jacob's trouble takes place. This ends with Christ's victorius return over his enemies, the salvation of Israel and their Kingdom restored back to them. Israel accepts Christ as their Messiah and as Jews say blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Following Christ's visible return is the 1000 yr reign of perfecting the Kingdom of God on earth. At te endof 1000 yr reign Jesu offers up to the Father a perfected Kingdom and the Faher responds with the New Jerusalem descending out of heaven and suspended over the earthly Jerusaelm forever. A perfected heavenly people ruling over a perfected earthly people. The earthly Jerusalem will be the capitol of the earth, while the New Jerusalem will be the capitol of the universe. The Kingdom of God will then expand outward from earth and increase forever in all directions of God's creation forever.

After the rapture, Christ and the saints are now the new powers of the air and immortal. Satan and his angels, old powers of the air, cast down to earth by Michael and his angels (Rev 12:9). Satan is very angry and persecutes the church left behind (timeframe 4 ).
DO NOT BE LEFT BEHIND!
Dan 7:9,10 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Rev 12:12,13 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

visible return as a result of the terrible Day
of the Lord (see also timeframe 5 and charts)

2 Peter 3:12,13 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God {Day of the Lord - see timeframe 5 in charts above}, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat Note: { } added by author for clarity
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness.

Today's old heaven and earth will not be destroyed but will be made new. This transformation is just like a sinner becoming a Christian. The sinner is not destroyed but old things pass away and all things become new - 2 Cor 5:17). Between the rapture and Christ's visible return (see main chart, expanded chart or chart above ), the 6th seal (timeframe 4) of Revelations is opened resulting in earth's axis (poles) to start shifting followed by the fervent heat and fire of 7th seal of Revelations (timeframe 5/Day of the Lord). This fervent heat applied to the earth will cause it's polar caps of snow and hail to completely melt, polar shifting back and forth will take place until the earth is fully upright. The extra water from the melted polar caps is evaporated to restore the original water canopy of Gen 1:6-8. All this by Christ's visible return resulting in much longer life, and a greenhouse type climate with even weather worldwide and better crop growing conditions just as it was before the flood of Noah.

Rev 1-3 7 prophetic churches of Rev 1-3 foretell the whole history of the church age from Acts to the rapture

The book of Acts covers the first 40 years of the church age. The book of Acts has no amen to it for the church age would last 2000 years. The book of Revelations picks up where Acts left off and Jesus uses 7 churches in Asia to to be a prophetic picture of the complete church age. Each church represents a worldwide change that has come upon Christ's church from end of Acts to the rapture.

Revelations 12
The Manchild Birthwatch
Clearest chapter on order of events concerning Antichrist, rapture and the Great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation that follows.

Revelations 12 presents one of the clearest pictures in the bible on the order of events and all the endtime players involved before and after the rapture. This chapter shows clearly the conflict between Antichrist and his empire and the Church before and leading up to the rapture. After the rapture is the story of Satan had his angels cast down to earth and Antichrist's persecution of the saints for 3 1/2 years unto death. This time of trouble for those that turn to Christ after the rapture is known as the great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation . The main endtime players before and after the rapture are:

Sun-clothed woman	Professing Church (all those who profess to be saved but are not)
Manchild	True Church (true believers within the professing Church)
God's throne	Manchild (true believers) will be separated from the sun-clothed woman (professing Church) to meet the Ancient of Days (God the Father) and Jesus Christ the Son of God at the rapture in the air - 1 Thess 4:16
Dragon whose tail dragged 1/3 of the stars	Satan and 1/3 of God's angels that followed him in the rebellion that caused the previous heaven and earth to be void and dark (Genesis 1:2). They are now the satanic principalities and powers that rule this heaven and earth (Eph 6) and will be judged when Christ returns.
7 crowned heads of the dragon	7 world empires Satan has ruled over since the time of Abraham (Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, Revived Roman of the last days under Antichrist). Because the 7th head is crowned Antichrist's Empire must be formed before the birth of the manchild (the rapture)
10 horns (See Daniel 7 where Rev gets the 10 horns from)	Nations in East and West Europe within the old Roman Empire land area that will be the heart of Antichrist's Empire that Satan will be in control of
Michael and his angels	When the rapture takes place (the birth of the manchild) Michael and his angels insure safe passage for the raptured saints to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thess 4:16). The raptured Christians now become the new powers of the air, and Michael and his angels fight and drive down to the earth (ground) Satan and his angels.
Persecuted woman	When the rapture takes place God will separate the true believers (manchild) from the professing believers. The true believers (manchild) are caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Those who professed to be saved (woman) but were not, now find themselves left behind on earth to face Satan and his angels who have been been cast down to earth by Michael and his angels. Satan is very angry about losing his position as prince and power of the air and he takes it out on the woman. He persecutes her for 3 1/2 years. Christians call this time of trouble for the professing Church left behind - the great Christian tribulation. Many of those left behind will turn to Christ and become martyrs rather than serve and bow down to Antichrist or take his mark (see timeframe 4)

*** The Two Witnesses *** (Rev 11)
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

*** Gog and Magog in the Day of the Lord ***
Ezek 38 1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? 14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.	Ezek 39 1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God. 14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. 15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God. 21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. 23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

Christ returns victoriously to defeat and destroy Antichrist's Empire and start the millenium

Day of the Lord - time frame 5 ends with the return of Christ to defeat Antichrist, his armies and the false prophet. We read in Revelations 19:11-21

Revelations 19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them
with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

In the Old Testament the establishment of the visible kingdom of God over the whole earth was a future event. The book of Daniel tells the story of worldly kingdoms rising and falling until God establishes a kingdom that would last forever. God revealed to Daniel in Daniel 2:44, 45 (see Daniel 2) how He was going to establish this everlasting kingdom and when.

Daniel 2:44,45
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

This Stone (Christ) smiting the image at it's feet and then the whole image crumbling foreshadows the return of Christ and His victory of Antichrist's goliath empire.

Modern nations within old Roman Empire land area that will be united to be world's greatest and last empire under Antichrist in the last days	Christ the Rock of Ages returns and destorys Antichrist's Empire.

Daniel saw a rock which is symbolic of none other the God's Son - Christ the Rock of Ages. This rock strikes and destroying the image of Daniel 2. The image when interpretated is symbolic of the nations that make up the last great empire of man - Antichrist's Empire. When the rock strikes the image the whole image crumbles and the rock becomes a mountain which covers the whole earth.

                         The Rock (Christ) becomes a mountain that fills the whole earth

This mountain over the whole earth is a symbol of kingdom of God established over the whole earth when Christ returns with His saints to destroy Antichrist's Empire. This mountain is none other than the millenial reign of Christ and his saints over all the nations of the earth.

EXTRAS

Hab 2:2,3 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry

Israel's 3 steps to the Kingdom: Each step a major crisis by a world dictator worse than the one before. One step is past, second is before the rapture, third after.

Because of 3 Covenants God confirmed with Jews concerning the promised land (Abraham), obedience (Moses), Messiah(David), their are 3 major steps to the Kingdom of Israel being fully restored by Christ's return. Each step has both a major crisis for Jews forced upon them by an evil world dictator. First dictator was Hitler; second is Antichrist the man before the rapture; third is Satan himself incarnated in the body of Antichrist after the rapture. This happens after Antichrist comes back to a life after a mysterious death immediately after the rapture. When this change takes in Antichrist Rev 13:3,8 calls him - 'the beast' and Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4 calls him 'Man of sin'. Paul says he will show himself in the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem(built in timeframe 3 - see chart below) that he is God..
Rev13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. A
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
2Thess 2:3,4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

First crisis and Hitler

World history since time of Abraham has always been subservient to God's Covenants (Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic) with the Jews, their land, their nation, and Jerusalem. Since time of Abraham God as given specific time prophecies such as 400 yrs of bondage, 70 yrs captivity, Daniel's 70 wks and others (see Ezek 4 for review of these). One of the most powerful time prophecies God gave was 2,520 year 'time of iniquity' found in Ezek 4. This time prophecy was addressed to the Jews that did not return when Jeremiah's 70 year exile. Ezekiel told us an additional punishment of exactly 2520 years would pass before both Israel and Jerusalem be freed from Gentile control. The nation of Israel was birthed Israel May 14, 1948 and Jerusalem in 1967. The year 1967 A.D. officially ended 'time of iniquity' served for past transgressions but does not rule out Israel coming under Gentile dominion in the future for disobedience to God. When the 20th century started God was already at work in world events to bring about the end of this 2,520 yr 'time of iniquity' sentence He imposed. Their was already a Zionist movement which began on Europe by Theodore Herzel for a homeland for the Jews in Palestine. A direct result of WW1 was the Balfour Declaration of 1917 creating a homeland for the Jews. However, it took W.W.2 and a monster like Hitler to drive the Jews back to this homeland that was rock and waste for centuries resulting in the nation of Israel May 14, 1948. When Jerusalem was recaptured in 1967 the Jews took more land than they had before but have had continual warfare with surrounding Arab nations. Also,their holiest site where the first and second temple had been built is occupied by the Moslem shrine - Dome of the rock. These wars and problems over who owns the land and the temple site will continue to get worse until the Jews repent and turn back to first - God of their fathers and then to Christ their Messiah. To accomplish this, two more major crises will have to pass each fulfilling a vast amount of prophecy. I believe 1967 TO 2007 is a 40 year period where God has been preparing the land of Israel that was rock and waste for centuries and a partial return of Jews. God allowed this partial return to work the land and prepare for the events of the mass return of all Jews from all nations early in the 21st century beginning around 2007-2008 A.D. in timeframe 2, timeframe 3 both quickly preceded by rise of Antichrist and his empire (timeframe 1) (see timechart below and notice these three timeframes are before the rapture.

Second crisis and Antichrist the man before the rapture

Ezekiel 35:5
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
Ezekiel 36:8
8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

However, It will take more than a Hitler to cause Jews to Return to God in the 21st century and a even greater crisis, it will take Antichrist rise and his empire before the rapture to accomplish this (timeframe1). Before the rapture in timeframe 2, God will use fury, and a stretched out hand to rule over Jews and bring them into the blessings of the bond of the Mosaic Covenant (Ezek 20:33-38). It will take a combination of Antichrist and foreign forces, Arabs, the wars of the 'Day of Calamity', the wilderness of Egypt, to bring Jews to repent and turn to God (Jehovah - God of their fathers not Christ at this time). Only then can the Ark of the Covenant reappear and be used in defeating their enemies - Golden Dome of the Rock being destroyed in the process . The rebuilding of their temple will now take place and all the pre-rapture prophecies of the mass return from all nations take place (click on timeframe1, timeframe 2, timeframe 3 in chart below for all related prophecies and read comments on Ezek 4 below).

Third crisis and Antichrist as Satan incarnate after the rapture

Rev 13:11,12
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 19:19-21
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

After the rapture it will take more than Antichrist the man and yet a greater crisis to bring the Jews to Christ. God will allow Satan to become a man and persecute them personally with the vengeance of hell and death. Immediately after the rapture God will cast Satan down to earth along with his fallen angels. Antichrist dies a mysterious death about the same time. Satan takes over his body and Antichrist comes to life both as Antichrist the man and Satan incarnated. Antichrist (Satan incarnated) called the first beast in Revelations is exalted by the second beast - the false prophet. They first persecutes all post rapture Christians unto death for 3 1/2 years which ends with the resurrection of the tribulation martyrs (see also timeframe 4). The beast then makes a 7 year peace treaty with Israel and invades Israel about halfway (known as Daniel's 70th week). Jews call upon Christ and Christ returns with His armies of saints and defeats the beast (Antichrist as Satan incarnate), the false prophet and his armies. Christ now rules the whole earth - Kingdom of Israel is restored. After the Milleniun (1000 years) the perfected Kingdom of God on earth will increase outward forever taking dominion over every planet, star. and galaxy in it's path (see Kingdom).

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Church Age ends when Christ finishes His task of building His Church - those saved that will become His bride. This task ends when the process of the first resurrection is complete. Began with Christ's own resurrection as Saviour and bridegroom (John 3:9), then many rose from their graves and walked into Jerusalem (Matt 27:52,53). As the Church age draws to a close in the reign of Antichrist's Empire (see chart above) and pre-rapture timeframes scriptures are fulfilled then the (1 Thess 4:16) takes place and the dead in Christ worldwide come out of their graves and meet the Lord in the air along with the living saved in Christ. Following right after the rapture is the great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation period 4 . Many of the souls that turn to Christ during this worldwide time of persecution are martyred under the reign of Antichrist called the Beast in Rev 13 and his False Prophet and the need to have a mark on the forehead or hand to buy or sell (Rev 6:9-11, Matt 24:9, Daniel 7:25, Daniel 8:24, Rev 12:13,17 , Rev 13:7,15). Many others go into hiding to try and endure until the end of the Church age to be saved from persecution (Matt 24:13 - see chart above). At the end of 3 1/2 Christian tribulation period the martyrs are raised from the dead (Rev 7:9-15, Rev 20:4-6). The resurrection of the tribulation martyrs completes the process of the first resurrection, completes the Church age and completes the church in heaven - the bride of Christ (Matt 25:1-13, John 3:9, Rev19:7-9, Rev 21:2,9, Rev 22:17). Christian Jews and Gentiles that lived through the 3 1/2 year tribulation period are now sealed by God for protection from coming plagues (Rev 7,14). Click on column above for scripture study or view other chart options in master menu above for a clearer picture. The world now enters into The last timeframe which lasts 7 years and known as the Day of the Lord/Daniel's 70th week. God judges the Gentile nations and Israel and defeats Antichrist, saves Israel, and the immortal Saints in their resurrected bodies rule and reign with Christ for a 1000 years on the earth.

We are the champions. The raptured immortal Christians will return with Jesus in great power and glory. Antichrist/armies are defeated. Jesus reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Jesus - God's son, died for your sins to give you everlasting life John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.	In Christ's resurrection we can walk in newness of life Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.	Believers become immortal at rapture when we meet Christ 1 Thess 4:16,17 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: 17 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. 1 Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
