The Great Unfolding

Many charts of the Endtime have been made, based on assumptions on Endtime periods that are indicated in Bible prophecy. The periods, indicated by bible prophecy are the following:

(1) The 70th and last week of Daniel's prophecy of 70 'weeks', which consists of 7 years (Daniel 9:27). The midpoint of this 'week' is of great significance.

(2) The great tribulation, starting with the 'abomination of desolation', the worship of an idol in 'the holy place', leading for enormous devastation and ultimately: God's wrath (Mathew 24:15-21). The 'abomination' takes place at the midpoint of Daniel's last week.

(3) The hour of temptation, that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 3:10).

Some add to these periods 'the day of the Lord' and 'the coming (Parousia = presence) of the Lord'. But these are terms that probably concern the total period during which the interactions of the Creator with his creation will be experienced by every creature, starting with the rapture of the church, ending with the dead, standing before the great white throne, at the end of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. For the Lord 'a day is as thousand years'. Therefore we leave out this term.

The manner with which the end of (1), the 70th week of Daniel, is marked (Daniel 9:24), leaves room for no other explanation than that the 7-year period will end with the second coming of Jesus.

From Daniel 9:27, it is clear that period (2), the great tribulation, will start halfway the 70th week of Daniel. This 7-year period will start with the 'confirming' or 'strengthening' of a covenant with or for many. At the midpoint of the 7-years period, 'the offering' will be stopped and 'an abomination' will be set up, which will be the cause of devastation. The second half of 'the week', the 7-year periode will be filled with death and destruction. That would be 3.5 years before the second coming of Jesus. Therefore the great tribulation covers the last half of Daniel's 70th week, 3.5 years, ending with the return of Jesus. This is what Jesus Himself tells us in Mathew 24:29, 30 - his coming in power and great glory shortly 'after the tribulation'. Daniel refers to these 3.5 years as 'time, times and half a time' (Daniel 7:25, 12:7) and as 1,290 and 1,335 days (Daniel 12:11,12). The book of Revelation also mentions these 3.5 years, as 'time, times and half a time' (Revelation 12:14), as 1260 days (Revelation 11:3, 12:6) and as 42 months (Revelation 11:2, 13:5).

We assume that all of these time spans refer to one and the same period, 'the great tribulation'. However, there could be small differences because they concern 3 different events:

(1) The flight and refuge of the of 'the woman', the holy people. (Rev.12:6, 14)

(2) The absolute reign of the beast and his war against the saints (Rev. 11:2, 13:5,  Dan.7:25, 12:7)

(3) The testimony of the two witnesses (Rev.11:3).

There is an interesting link between the 1,260 days of the Endtime and the 2,300 days, that were foretold in Daniel 8, also starting with the end of Jewish sacrifice and the start of idol worship in the temple of God by a king of the Greek empire in 167 BC. We intend to discuss this link in our exposition on the empires that run up to the Endtime.

The third indicated time period (3) the hour of temptation, Revis more difficult to interpret. It is not completely clear what is meant in Revelation 3:10 with 'the hour of temptation' from which the Lord would keep the faithful in his church. When searching the Greek word fore 'temptation', it is never again used in Revelation and in the NT mostly applies to Christians. But in Revelation 3:10 the special hour of temptation does not concern the faithful but 'those that dwell upon the earth', which is humanity as a whole. Based on the content of Revelation, we consider 'the hour of temptation' to be synonym to the great tribulation, the last 3.5 years before Jesus' second coming. We offer the following arguments:

(1) Looking at the book of Revelation, the whole of humanity will only be subjected to the execution of the demonic power of the beast for 42 months, which is again the last 3.5 years (Rev.13:5-7)

(2) The word 'hour' in a similar meaning as in Rev.3:10 is seen in Rev.17:12 - 'And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast'. This seems to correspond to that same period of 'execution of power' by the beast of 3.5 years.

(3) The temptation of that last evil 'hour of temptation' clearly will start at the second seal, bringing the red horse of a third world war. We argue that the trigger to this worldwide devastation will be 'the abomination of desolation', which will happen at the midpoint of Daniel's 70th week. That is 3.5 years before the return of Jesus. This would mean that 'the hour of temptation' is equal to the 3.5 years of great tribulation. This is also to be seen in the prophetic discourse of the Lord in Mathew 24, as we show in Endtime Discourse.

We now turn to the most obvious phases of the Endtime that are indicated in the book of Revelation.

1. The Rapture

For Christians, the most important issue of the Endtime is the moment of the rapture of the church. In Revelation 3:10, the Lord promises his faithful church to keep her 'from' (= 'away from' or 'out of') the hour of temptation. In Endtime Visions we have argued that Jesus will come for his church within a year before the start of the 3.5 year 'hour of temptation' or 'great tribulation'. In Revelation 12 in Stars we show that since September 23, 2017, every detail of chapter 12 of Revelation is played out in the stars of heaven. We see the moment of the rapture in the outcry from heaven after the casting to earth of the dragon: 'Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them' (Rev.12:12). The equivalent in the stars is seen on August 12, 2025, the conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, the eighth after the Revelation-12 sign of 2017 - seven for the seven churches on earth - the seven church phases in history (Revelation 2, 3) , the eighth for the rapture of the church. Many more signs around August 12 are indicative for a rapture around that day, see: Revelation 12 in Stars.

In Endtime Visions we already stated that we take a position that is somewhere  between the pretrib and the midtrib positions. Because of its importance, we will repeat the arguments for a rapture, about a year before the start of the 3.5 year Endtime, the great tribulation or the hour of temptation.

The mid-trib position has five problems:

(1) In our explanation of the opening of the seals, we argue that the opening of the second seal, releasing the red horse, will start 'the great tribulation', the last 3.5 years before the second coming. It is the 'chaos' out of which 'order' of the beast tyranny has to arise. But directly after the rapture of the church, no seal will be opened yet. First, all faithful followers of Christ will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, not to be convicted, but to be rewarded for what their lives have meant for their Lord and Master.

(2) There will be a time of worship of the Lamb by all heavenly creatures, including the 24 elders, representing the church.

(3) The Lamb will take the scroll out of the hand of Him that sits on the throne before He will open any seals and this again will end in worship by the heavens, echoing through all of creation. All of this is described in chapters 4 and 5 of the book of Revelation. This implies that time will elapse between the rapture of the church and the setting in of the 'great tribulation', which we assume to start with the opening of the seals.

(4) Once the rapture of the church has taken place, God will start a work with his people of old, the people of Israel, as He promised in many texts in the old and new testament, which we discussed in 'visions on Endtime'. But God's holy people is entangled in a completely distorted view on God and his Messiah and is in sore need of repentance and gaining insight in the word of God. Repentance and acquiring understanding takes time before it can come to fruition in witnessing. In case of the Apostle Paul it took several days (Acts 9:9, 19, 20). So some time will have to elapse between the rapture of the church and the 'testimony of 1,260 days by the two witnesses' during the great tribulation. In our explanation on the seals, we will argue that the white horse under the first seal is the repentance and redemption of God's holy people. Shortly thereafter the great tribulation will start under the red horse of the second seal.

(5) However swift worldly powers will react to the spiritual vacuum, left by the rapture and the 'being taken away' of the Holy Spirit, they will need some time to plan and coordinate their actions in order to take full control over earthly affairs. Therefore some time has to elapse between the rapture of the church and the start of the 42 months of action by the beast out of the sea, seen in the red horse and the bringing of world war III.

The pre-trib position also has its problems:

(1) It assumes that both the turning of the elect into witnesses and the embrace of the world by the last empire will last 3.5 years. Seeing the speed with which the events of Revelation follow upon one another, this is quite long a period.

(2) If the red horse under the second seal marks the start of the 3.5 year great tribulation - as we argue -, then the only significant event of the first 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week is the white horse, the start of God's intervention for his holy people. It is not conceivable that 3.5 years will pass without any further significant events, knowing that once 'the Restrainer is gone' (which can only apply to the Holy Spirit - gone from earth once the Rapture of the church will take place), the son of perdition (antichrist) will be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3-7).

(3) The Lord spoke of the 'shortening of those days' while speaking of the 'great tribulation'. with a word that also means 'to mutilate'. This 'mutilation' could come from the little time that will be given to the enemy to build his empire, i.e. the shortening of the first 3.5 of 7 years by leaving the church on earth. We see this also in the panic of the dragon in Revelation 12:12 - 'He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short'.

(4) The Lord promised 'to come with haste'. This coming will start with the rapture of the church and the opening of the seals. That also seems to indicate a shortening of that last period of 7 years by a rapture taking place quite a while after the start of it.

(5) There is no indication of the length of the first half of Daniel's last week. The length of the second half is clearly indicated, 7 times in total, 2 times in the book of Daniel and 5 times in the book of Revelation. Therefore, the first half of the last 7 years is not an established biblical period, like the second half. Moreover, the first half of Daniel's last week has no noticeable starting point (only: 'strengthening of an already existing covenant) like the second half has (the abomination of desolation). And lastly, the first half of Daniel's week has no specific name in bible prophecy, like the second half has (great tribulation)

Based on these shortcomings of both the pretrib and the midtrib position, we come to the following conclusion. (1) We define the tribulation no longer as the 7-year period of the 70th week of Daniel. We define the tribulation as identical to 'the great tribulation' or 'the hour of temptation', the last half of 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week. (2) The church will leave the earth a short time before the start of these last 3.5 years of tribulation. In that sense we still hold on to a pretrib view, while we have changed the definition of 'trib'. (3) Would we hold on to the complete 70th week of Daniel as being the tribulation, then our vision is somewhere between the pretrib and the midtrib positions, but closer to the midtrib.

Seeing the meticulous description of Revelation 12 in the stars of heaven, we have come to assume that the Endtime events of Revelation are related to the dates indicated by the events in the stars, such as conjunctions and the visibility of asteroids and comets. If this assumption is right, God being the author of both the Bible and the stars of heaven, then we would expect the rapture to happen on August 12, 2025. On that date there will be a conjunction of Venus with Jupiter in Gemini - indicating the union between two humans - the marriage of the Lamb and his bride? August 12 is also the date of the first appearance of 'Bethlehem's Star' as a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in 'Leo' in the year 3BC, the first signal of Jesus' first coming. So exactly 2027 years later, on the same date, August 12, we could see the first sign of his second coming, the rapture of the church. Based on signs in the stars, the white horse could appear at the end of December, 2025, which we see as the deliverance of the Palestinian people, the true holy people of God, from their Zionist oppressors, which are instruments of satan. In June, 2026, the red horse, as start of the Endtime, the great tribulation of 3.5 years, could arrive on the scene. This and all the rest of the book of Revelation is laid out in the stars, until the end of the Endtime, even until the end of the millennial reign of Christ, which we demonstrate in The Endtime in the Stars. These indications in the heavens are used, together with information in the book of Revelation, to estimate the timeframe of the Endtime.

2. The seven seals

The Endtime will start with the rapture of the church. Some time thereafter the Lamb will take the scroll and open the 7 seals. The opening of the seals will set in motion the Endtime events of the last 3.5 years, 'the great tribulation'. The opening of seals of a scroll is not something that takes much time. We can expect events that are connected to the opening of these seals to succeed one another quite swiftly. Moreover the events of the seals are interconnected, each one calling forth the next. 

Seal 1              Seal 2              Seal 3              Seal 4             Seal 5          Seal 6

White horse   Red horse       Black horse    Pale horse    Martyrs       Earthquake

Start victory    War                  Famine           Death

The events under seal 1 indicate the start of the God given victory for God's earthly people (true Israel). This will ignite a world war (the opposition by the empire) under seal 2. The unprecedented war will result in famine (seal 3) and death (seal 4) and death of martyrs (seal 5). Finally God will react to the raging evil of the empire by a world wide earthquake (seal 6).

That the seals are closely linked to each other is also seen in the 'sword' and the 'famine' of seals 2 and 3 reappearing at seal 4, as causes of death (Rev.6:8).

With the first six seals, earth events will speed up enormously as happens with a stream of water, approaching an avalanche. What previously took decennia to emerge, will then happen within a couple of years. Moreover, the world has been preparing for war, famine and massive death for a long time. A diversity of conflicts could ignite any moment into a world war: the Ukraine war, the war on Palestine, the Iran nuclear issue and the tensions with China. The position of farmers has been deteriorating all over the world, making humanity extremely vulnerable for food crises. Supply lines have been consolidated in very few hands, that can easily switch off supplies of energy, food and water. Governments have vigorously propped up their executive powers in order to control and to demonize those that dare to resist. We therefore estimate that the events of the seals 2 - 6 could easily all pass within one  year, that is 12 months.

We have good reasons to believe that the white horse of the first seal does not represent the antichrist (which is generally thought), but that it represents the intervention of God and his angels on behalf of the holy people that is on the verge of being destroyed, i.e. the Palestinian people, which consists of the true Israeli's. Like the rapture of the church , this will come as a total surprise to the world, which has sought to totally destroy it. The powers of this world will need time to accommodate to God's sudden rescue operation. Therefore it takes time before the empire will react. But when it will react, it will be in total opposition to the Most High. The 'emperor' wil set himself in the holy place as if he is God, as is indicated by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:4. 

Since long, the powers behind the scenes have wanted to build a temple in Jerusalem. The idea rose during the crusades of the Knights Templar which have gone underground in the 14th century. This is the reason why the seal-calamities are presented as 'horsemen'. We believe that no temple will be built because of resistance by the Muslim nations. Out of frustration 'the emperor' will set himself in one of the Mosque's on the 'Haram al Sharif'. The rage this will ignite in the whole of the Middle East is not difficult to imagine. That is why this act is called 'the abomination of desolation'. The blasphemous act of the emperor will set the world ablaze. It is the red horse of the second seal. Of course, such an act can only come after a long diplomatic struggle. The time needed for the empire to vigorously oppose itself to God and to the Muslim world, could be 6 months.

In short, we estimate that 6 months will lapse between the white horse and the red horse, which will be the start of the 3.5 year-Endtime and that the period from the start of the red horse until the earthquake of the sixth seal will take about 12 months.

The seventh seal does not mention a separate event on earth but heralds the start of the next sequence of disasters, the seven trumpets.

3. The seven trumpets

The calamities under the trumpet judgments are separated from the seal-events by some activities in heaven:

(1) four angels that hold the four winds receive the instruction to wait with calamities until the 144.000 elect from the 12 tribes of Israel will be sealed and will have started their worldwide bringing of 'the gospel of the kingdom' as told by Jesus in Mathew 24:14.

(2) the opening of the 7th seal by the Lamb

(3) half an hour of silence in heaven

(4) the giving of the 7 trumpets to 7 angels

(5) the prayers of the saints going up in the hand of an angel in front of the altar

(6) the throwing of fire from the altar on earth by the angel.

We do not know how long these actions will take in earth's time. We estimate that about 5 months will pass between the worldwide earthquake of seal 6 and the impact of the first trumpet.

The disastrous effects of the trumpets (Rev.8:6-13) might resemble the impacts of a comet on earth's conditions. The trumpets seem to follow each other in rapid pace. They also seem interconnected.

Trumpet 1                 Trumpet 2                   Trumpet 3                    Trumpet 4

Hail with fire             A fiery mountain         Polluting rocks            Darkness

The trumpet events could all be triggered by the sudden impact of a comet, which in earth's atmosphere would split in four distinct 'parts' (1) the smaller fiery rocks, mainly impacting plant life, (2) the biggest rock falling in one of the oceans impacting the seas, (3) rocks in the tail that pollute many waters, (4) much of the comet's dust will obscure the sun, moon and stars.

New comets are very regularly spotted. The first four months of the year 2025 there were 18 discoveries. Normally their paths remain far from the earth . However, for once this could be very different. Comets mainly are first noticed by observers in a late stage of their approach, about 2 months before they cross earth's orbit. So havoc could be looming late in 2025 because of an earth bound comet without anyone knowing it at the moment we write these lines.

In case of one comet, one would expect the effects to comet all in one month or even one week. Some comets are broken into pieces. That makes it possible for a more prolonged influence, with different effects for each of the pieces impacting earth's atmosphere. Based on information in the stars, we expect the trumpets to affect the earth in four or five months time, about a month for each of the effects. This concerns their direct impact. Of course there will be long-lasting effects of the four trumpets on creation of years or even decades.

Trumpets 5 and 6 differ from the first four trumpets as was the case with the seals. They differ however in an opposite way. The first four seals have to do with acts of humanity while seals 5 and 6 concern acts of God. With the trumpets it is the opposite. The first four trumpets show acts of God, while trumpets 5 and 6 concern acts of man. Trumpets 5 and 6 are interrelated and both describe the frightening execution of power by the beast system, that is described in Revelation 12, 13 and 17. Trumpet 5 shows the political pressure and trumpet 6 the military pressure to accept the mark of the beast. We hope to dive deeper into this very complicated matter with our explanation of Revelation 9.

We estimate that there will be one month of separation between the first 4 trumpets and trumpets 5 and 6. According to Revelation 9, trumpet 5 will take 5 months and trumpet 6 will take about a year and on month. Our time indications are based on the following:

(1) The last three trumpets are separated from the first four by the loud voice of an eagle in the midst of heaven, saying: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!” (Revelation 8:13).

(2) After the devastating earthquake of the sixth seal, human society needs some time to reorganize and to resume the development into the beast system. In the months following, the 144.000 converts from true Israel will evangelize the world and millions will convert to the Lord, because of their message, combined with what they have seen of God's eternal power. The world has about ten months to choose sides, 5 months after the seal-6 earthquake and 5 months during the first four trumpets showing again the enormous power of the Creator. After those 10 months, the beast system will be set in place. Any kind of freedom would forever be gone if Jesus would not return.

(3) The locusts of trumpet 5 receive the command 'not hurt the grass of the earth', which would be strange when all of the grass was just scorched by a comet at the first trumpet. So some months must lapse between trumpet one and trumpet 5, in order for grass to grow on the field again.

(4) The plague of the locusts of trumpet five is said to take 5 months: 'And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. (Rev.9:10)

(5) The horrific war on humanity by the demonic horsemen of trumpet 6 is said to take a year and a month: 'And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.' (Rev.9:15)

All of the above leads to this time frame of the Endtime:

Seal 2-6    Intermezzo   Four trumpets   Intermezzo   Trumpets 5,6    Vials-End

  12                   5                        5                         1                      18                   1

This totals the 42 months of the reign of the beast.

The start of the vials will not end the reign of the beast abruptly. It will take about one month to destroy the power to 'act' or to 'reign' of it (9-9-2029 - 9-10-2029) and one other month to completely destroy every facet of it, militarily, culturally and economically. So the 18 months of totalitarian reign of the beast are divided in 17 months of full rule on the basis of horrific terror and one month of declining and crippled rule.

From our analysis follows that we expect the completed beast system not to last for 3.5 years. Its days will be shortened by about 2 years during the first part of the Endtime and a month at the end of the Endtime. Therefore, it will last only one and a half year, the last moth even in a maimed state. Twelve months are necessary for making it operational (through enormous suffering by the human population by the last 3 Apocalyptic horsemen) - for another 11 months it will lay mutilated because of God's intervention by the earthquake of seal 6. At the end it will be cut short by God's wrath in the judgments of the vials, leaving the beast scrambling for power instead of ruling. The remaining 18 months will display the most horrendous technocratic rule the world has ever experienced.

That the mandatory use of the mark of the beast for buying and selling would last for 3.5 years is nowhere in the Bible indicated. What comes closest to this notion is the description of the power of the beast out of the sea: 'The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months' (Revelation 13:5). Bur that also includes the taking of worldwide control to get the system operational (Apocalyptic horsemen 2-4 - 12 months), the revival of the system after being devastated by God's intermediary judgment of the worldwide earthquake (11 months) and the protection of the system against the catastrophes of the vial judgments at the end (1 month).

4. The vials

 The vials are God's judgment of the beast system, that has completely taken over 'Babylon the Great'. This 'Babylon the great' once was a 'mystery', when it operated as the church system that had alienated itself from the Lord because of her 'love of this world'. The Roman Catholic church and those who came out of it all derived their power from world governments, a situation that lasted until the 18th century. Since then 'the beast', the USA and its vassals, have totally ruined apostate Christianity, leaving nothing but an outward appearance, with which it could dress itself. So the beast has become known as 'a christian nation' upholding 'human rights' while in the meantime igniting and fighting the most evil wars one can think of in order to establish and to consolidate its hegemony in the world. What else does such a system of countries and governments and institutions deserve than to receive the most destructive of God's judgments? These we see in the vials, affecting every person that will be attached to the system. The vials will be the final blow from the Lord to the world, from which it will never recover. This is made crystal clear in the 18th chapter of Revelation. The vials themselves are described in chapter 16. They are the following:

Vial 1   Vial 2          Vial 3              Vial 4                 Vial 5                Vial 6

Sores  Sea blood  Rivers blood  Scorching sun  Dark empire  Armageddon

The 7th and last vial will be the second worldwide earthquake (after the one of the 6th seal), combined with hailstorms, which will leave nothing of (1) cities (2) mountains (3) islands. The events of the first four vials seem unrelated: (1) the sores (which will effect only those who have taken the mark of the beast), (2) the sea and (3) the rivers turning to blood and (4) the scorching sun.

The havoc because of the first 4 vials could trigger internal disruptions. Muslim nations who had to accept the blasphemous beast system for one and a half years, could invade the nation of Israel, which will be the center of the beast system in the Endtime.

The darkening of the empire because of vial 5 being poured out on the throne of the beast, could very well be an attack on Israel, thereby disturbing the worldwide control system, the image of the beast, that will be operating from Jerusalem. Everyone attached to it is suddenly 'in the dark', on his own, not able to receive or send any information anymore, no more able to buy or sell.

With the operating system of the beast in turmoil, the beast will experience an existential threat. It will do everything possible to hold on to its world dominance, hence the gathering of most armies of the world towards Israel - Armageddon. The military shift towards Israel will therefore not be to attack the 'promised land' but to defend it and to restore it as the command center of the beast. The state of Israel is 'the beast out of the earth' that will manage 'the image of the beast' of which 'the mark of the beast' will be part and parcel. 

The 7th and last vial, inducing an earthquake and heavy hail, probably will accompany the return of Jesus, when 'the powers of the heavens shall be shaken' as Jesus said (Mt.24:29). His coming will be accompanied by a darkening of the sun, a turning of the moon into blood and the falling of the stars from heaven. This is a repetition of what happened under the sixth seal, when humanity thought that the wrath of the Lamb would come. But here, while the wrath of the Lamb has truly come, we wee no hiding in mountains. Instead, we see a waging of war against 'the One that comes from the heavens on a white horse' (Revelation 17:14, 19:19). This enormous difference in mindset on earth shows us that seal 6 and vial 7 are two completely different events and not, as some have suggested, one and the same. At the end of the beast's reign, those partaking in his empire have been so thoroughly brainwashed, that they dare take up weapons against their Creator Himself.

Mindful of the Lord's word of his 'coming quickly' and the 'shortening of days' we estimate that the vial-judgments, including the total defeat of the beast and his armies, will take no more than 2 months.

While the last vial is being poured out, leading to a worldwide earthquake and great hail with devastating consequences, the Lord Jesus will return, while seen on a white horse, destroying all armies and political powers of the world. This is what Christ Himself foretold when He said: “Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory." (Mathew 24: 29, 30)

With the return of Jesus, the most dark of all times in history will end. We no longer expect the Endtime to be a period of 7 years, the whole of Daniel's 70th week, as we did till recently. Like so many that follow a futurist approach, we thought until the end of 2022, that the seals would be opened from the beginning of the last 7 years of Daniel's 70th week. And we once thought that the fifth trumpet would be blown around the 'abomination of desolation', halfway the 70th week of Daniel.

But events on earth as well as very clear signs in the stars have brought us to the belief that only the first seal will be opened shortly before the last 3.5 years of the last half of Daniel's 70th week. We have come to equate the red horse of the second seal to the abomination of desolation, the sign of the start of the Endtime. But not only earthly and heavenly circumstance urge us to leave the notion of an Endtime of 7 years. Scripture itself contains many indications, as we hope to demonstrate on all pages of  this site. God has indeed shortened those days. He has cut them into half. Amen, come Lord Jesus.

Explanation of the Endtime Chart

Having laid out the scriptural reasons for our Endtime view, we will now explain the chart that contains this view. Here is the chart again:
