The End Times - Part 5: Snapshots of Revelation

NOTE:
Eschatology isn’t the door to salvation, Jesus is.
NOTE:
Take Bible prophecy literal, don’t spiritualize or allegorize it.
NOTE:
Don’t group the Christian with the Jew in end time prophecy.
Reasons why I don’t believe that the believer/Christian will go through the Tribulation period in the book of Revelation.
1. Jesus said his return will be like the days of Noah, and the days of Lot.
2. The Apostle Paul said, We are not appointed for wrath.
Wrath of God.

Revelation 6:16-17
Revelation 14:10 & 19
Revelation 15:1 & 7
Revelation 16:1
1st These 1:9-10
They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath
1st These 5:9
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3:10 LB
10 “Because you have patiently obeyed me despite the persecution, therefore I will protect you from the time of Great Tribulation and temptation, which will come upon the world to test everyone alive.

Things Present. Chapters 2-3

Seven Churches — Chapters 2-3

Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea
Duration of the Tribulation
Daniel predicted that this period will last around 7 years. Daniel said that Tribulation would be “one week” and uses the Hebrew word designation a “week of years” or 7 years.

In revelation, we find the seven years divided into two periods of 1260 days, or 42 months, or 3 1/2 years, or “time and times and half a time”

Revelation 11:2-3
Revelation 12:6,7 & 14
Revelation 13:5

Every one of those times spans totals up to seven years.
The first half, or first 42 months, is the tribulation, while the last half is called by the Lord, “the great tribulation.” (Matt24:21)


Chapters 6-19 -Tribulation
Chapters 6-11 - First 3.5 years
Chapter 13 -19 - Next 3.5 years
