Mark 13:35-37 "Keep a sharp lookout! For you do not know when I will come, at evening, at midnight, early dawn, or late daybreak. Don't let me find you sleeping. Watch for my return! This is my message to you and to everyone else."
You do know God gives chances over and over right? As long as you don't take the mark, you still have a chance to repent.
The timeline is Rapture, 3/5 years Tribulation, 3 remaining years starting with God's wrath, and the antichrist blaspheming his name, 1,000 year point at the end of the 7 years, satan thrown in the abyss, satan loose after the years are over, satan deceives the nation's one last time, God has fire come down from heaven to devour them, Judgment Day, Eternal peace, and Eternal damnation.
The only ones who will be on earth at the end of the 7 years point is the antichrist, the beast, and the dragon as well as with their worshippers. That is when Jesus returns as a conquering king wearing a white robe, "On his head were many crowns and names no one could see but he, himself. Behind him is his saints riding white horses wearing clean white garments"
Now at the end of the 7 years when they return, what happens? Only two things happen.
1. They fight off the wicked and the angel chains satan to the abyss.
2. They live in the kingdom.
That right there is NOT the rapture because what does the rapture mean anyways?
The rapture means "the catching away; the harpazo" No one is getting caught up when Jesus comes as a conquering king. That's why the verses say he comes back as a conquering king NOT to call up anyone.
Now, what happens during the rapture?
Jesus comes and gathers his elect to take them from the hour of trial. THAT is why he gave us signs! That is why he told his to watch out for signs in the sky, in space, on earth because he says those signs represent the end of the world and his return. Remember when Jesus was on earth, and his people came to him saying "Tell us, what shall these signs be that will tell us the ending of the world?", and the signs happening now are the signs of this return and the end of the world.
Mass shootings, a bunch of fires and storms, strange sightings, time going by very fast, etc etc..
God said people will turn away from their faith, and be cold to one another, murderers, thrives, etc etc. That is what's happening now.
Which means, we are most likely 8 or 9/10s away from his return! How do I know? The signs. And so that is why on that very verse of the rapture, says "The dead in Christ will rise first then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air",
A lot of people think since it says "Dead" It's referring to the martyrs but it isn't. It's referring to Christians who have died and remained faithful. When you die, you don't immediately get judged. That is saved for judgement day. As a result, the dead in Christ will be with God, and we will follow shortly after. The rapture IS our judgment and we have won in our faith!
That is also why when we judge people ON judgment day, God says we will participate in it and judge others! Because we already have been judged and that was the rapture! When does judgment take place? Literally after the 1,000 years are over.
Then.. the eternal kingdom saved for the raptured, the martyrs, and the 144,000. Sadly everyone else is having their time in the lake of fire.
And that right there, is the timeline.
