Possible Sequence of the World Events in Near Future

Three numbers (1290, 1335, and 1260) in the prophecies of Daniel and three numbers (5 months, 1260 days, and 3.5 days) in the book of Revelation allow us to consistently figure out a possible sequence of the end-time events (see Table XIV below). It is important to note that this chapter contains conjecture.

After 16 September 2023 (after sunset of September 15, Jerusalem time), which is on the Feast of Trumpets, the first beast in Revelation 13 will stand in the holy place and many will worship the image of the beast and receive the mark of the beast. The Feast of Pentecost on 12 May 2027 is on the 1335^th day from the Feast of Trumpets in 2023. On that special day, the true believers of Yeshua may be raptured, and 144,000 Israelites shall be sealed and protected by God. These things shall happen in the 6^th seal, as described in Revelation 6:12-17, 7:1-17. The 6^th-seal events are like those described in Matthew 24:29-31,40-41.

Immediately after the rapture, the first, second, third, and fourth trumpet will sound and there will be struck of vegetation, of the seas, of the waters, and of the heavens. All these events shall take a short time (about two days). When the fifth trumpet sounds, the locusts from the bottomless pit will start to strike men without the seal of God for 5 lunar months (147.5 days). At the end of the 5 months, the first woe will end (Revelation 9:12). After the sixth trumpet sounds on 9 October 2027 (the 8^th day of the 8^th month), two prophets will prophesy for 1260 days and be killed on 22 March 2031 (possibly just after sunset of 21 March). After 3.5 days, they will resurrect and ascend into heaven on 25 March 2031 (maybe in the morning). The second woe will end at this moment. Right after this, the 7^th trumpet will sound, and the mystery of God will be completed. The Almighty God and the Messiah will start to reign on 25 March 2031, which is on the first day of Nisan (the first month). After this, the nations will be angry and God's full wrath will be poured out, then the rewards will be given to His prophets and saints (after resurrection of the dead), and finally all God's enemies will be destroyed (Revelation 11:17-18).

The third woe immediately following the second woe should be God's wrath of the 7^th bowl because the wrath of the 6^th bowl is poured out before Revelation 16:15 (Hebraic-Roots Version), "Behold, He comes as a thief, blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." The HRV text makes more sense than the Greek text, "Behold, I am coming as a thief, blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." In the HRV text, "He" refers to the almighty God Yehowah while "I" in the Greek text refers to Messiah Yeshua who revealed the end-time prophecy to John. The Messiah shall come down from heaven in the sixth seal and Yehowah God shall come after Elijah the prophet (Malachi 4:5). Yehowah God and His Messiah will start to reign right after the 7^th trumpet sounds. Therefore, the wrath of the 6^th bowl should be placed before the 7^th trumpet.

One of the two witnesses should be Elijah the prophet since he has the power to shut heaven and prevent rainfall in the days of his prophecy (Revelation 11:6) as he did in the ancient times. Another witness should be Moses since he has the power to turn water into blood (Revelation 11:6), as he did in the land of Egypt. In the first coming of the Messiah, John the Baptist came before the Messiah. John prepared the way for the ministry of the Messiah in his first advent. In his final advent, the Messiah will first come down from heaven to prepare the way for his Father's coming. The Messiah will finish God's work of salvation and judgment in the second part of the 70^th week in Daniel's prophecy. Yeshua will also send his two witnesses to prophesize 1260 days before Yehowah descends from heaven.

The wrath of the 7^th bowl will begin after God and His Messiah start to reign over the nations on the earth. In the wrath of the 7^th bowl, there will be great hail and a mighty earthquake that causes many cities to fall. The great Babylon will be judged and destroyed. This should be before the marriage of the Lamb. The great Babylon is an integrated kingdom of the Roman Catholic Church and the Western Roman Empire. This church cannot be invited to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. Only the true disciples of the Messiah who have performed righteous acts will be invited. On 14 Nisan 30 AD before his crucifixion, Yeshua Messiah told his disciples (Matthew 26:29), "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom."

The final war in the great day of God Almighty should be after the destruction of the great Babylon. This war should be the one described in Ezekiel 38-39, in Zechariah 14, and in Revelation 19:11-21. The three spirits of demons will gather the armies of the nations in Armageddon at the end of the sixth bowl and fight against Jerusalem after the 7^th trumpet. Zechariah 14 tells us that Jerusalem will be taken initially and afterward Yehowah God will fight for Jerusalem and strike all the people who fight against Jerusalem. The verses in Revelation 19:11-21 reveal that the Messiah, who is the king of the kings and the lord of the lords, will lead the heavenly armies to fight against the armies of the beast and defeat them. Similar to the description in Ezekiel 39:17-20, all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven will eat the flesh of all the beast armies. In the war, the beast and the false prophet (the second beast) will be cast into the lake of fire and Satan will be cast into the Abyss and shut there for one thousand years.

After one thousand years, Satan will be released to deceive the nations and to gather around Jerusalem to encircle it before 17 March 3031 (Nisan 1). Fire will come down from heaven and devour them, and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire. That will be the final judgment of God and all the dead will be resurrected and judged by God. Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire. Then there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and the new Jerusalem will come down from heaven on 17 March 3031. From Nisan 1 of 3031, God and His Messiah will reign in the eternal Kingdom of God forever.

Blessed are those who follow His commandments, that they may have the right to access the tree of life, and to enter through the gates of the holy city of new Jerusalem (Revelation 22:14). Outside (the city), are dogs, sorcerers, the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie (Revelation 22:15). If the above translation of Revelation 22:15 were correct, who are the people outside the city? Will these ungodly people have a right to live outside the city in the eternal Kingdom of God? If yes, this idea is in contradiction with Revelation 21:8, which tells us that those who commit the similar sins shall be cast into the lake of fire and destroyed (burned up).

In order to resolve the above contradiction, we may check the Interlinear Greek-English Bible to see if there is an alternative translation. The Greek word "exo" means "outside" and "without." Revelation 21:7 talks about the blessing of the people who have overcome while Revelation 21:8 talks about the curse of the people who commit these great sins. In a similar manner, Revelation 22:14 talks about the blessing while Revelation 22:15 addresses the curse. If "exo" means "without," Revelation 22:15 could be translated as: "Without [blessing] are dogs, sorcerers, the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." This translation makes more sense. Only those who have kept the commandments of God are blessed and may have a right to access the tree of life and to enter the city (Revelation 22:14). In contrast, those who have committed the great sins are cursed and shall be cast into the lake of fire after the final judgment (Revelation 21:8).
