Biblical Timelines | TheLastDays

We currently have identified and described two Biblical timelines for you to explore.

Jesus' Own Timeline (Matthew 24:1-31)  Did Jesus give us a timeline for the major events of the End Times? Yes, He did! This wonderful timeline includes the birth pangs, the Great Tribulation, the rise of the antichrist and all the stunning elements of His Return. It functions like a skeleton, providing the structural element that supports living flesh and connects it the right way. The only thing left for us to do is to “put meat on these bones” by taking other End Times passages from elsewhere in the Bible and attach them at the right spot. Of course, if you take this skeleton apart and rearrange it (as some do), you don’t get a lovely prophetic creation from Jesus, you get a monstrosity. But why would anyone want to do that?

The Revelation Timeline  Is there a coherent timeline of the Book of Revelation? Jesus gave us one in the gospels. It's recorded for us in Matthew Chapter 24. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could add another one to it, find where they match up and overlay them? That is exactly what John has given us! It's one more great reason to call him the "beloved" disciple—his "Revelation Timeline" will help us make sense of the maze of amazing events which he records for us in his vision. Evidently, the Lord had so much to show John (and tell us) that He couldn’t fit it all into one single progression of events. Besides, we know from our own storytellers that it makes for a better movie if you throw in flashbacks, secondary narratives, and character development into the main plotline. John ingeniously did all this two millennia before Hollywood perfected it.
