A SIMPLE ORDER OF THE REMAINING EVENTS IN GOD’S CALENDAR FROM THE GREAT RE-AWAKENING TO DOOMS DAY TO GLORY
- HAGGAI 2:6, 7, 9
A. THE IMPENDING RE-AWAKENING!
Joel 2: 23-27; 28-29, Acts 2:16-18, Isaiah 44:1-5, Joel 2:23-27
Joel 2: 23-27; 28-29, Acts 2:16-18, Isaiah 44:1-5, Joel 2:23-27
1. We are in the times where we have gone beyond what Jesus calls the ‘’beginning of the birth
pangs’’ – Mt. 24:8.
2. Right now, there is a great tomfoolery going on, the wise (true Christians) have seen through
it. As the “Man of Sin” is waiting on the wings ready to emerge or burst forth into the world
stage. His structures are being put in place-primarily he will emerge from and be based in
Europe. He is the Anti-Christ. There will be a new world order and “Super” power shift – 2
Thessalonians 2:3, 7, 10.
3. As the tail end of the very last days begins there will be a great out pouring of the Holy Spirit
on God’s people particularly laymen, ordinary folks resulting in great expansion of God’s
kingdom.
4. The church enters a phase of great prosperity, wealth and abundance. The Lord will prosper
the church as an entity and individually.
5. We shall see a resurgence of the anointing of old, or former Prophets, former men and
women of God in Bible and non Bible times.
6. This world wide scale gospel activity will prepare God’s people for the imminent rapture –
many will rush into, apparently they will dive for their souls into the kingdom of God.
B. THE WORLD IS PETRIFIED; RAPTURE OCCUR
Matthew 24:36-41, I Corinthians 15:51-53

1. The dead in Christ resurrect first with new immortal bodies – I Thess. 4:16
2. In split seconds the livings in Christ wear immortal bodies – I Thess. 4:17
3. Every “child” will be taken, adults will be miffed as they search for their loved ones – children,
spouses, relations, friends, and colleagues – it is commotion everywhere!
4. Media houses will buzz with headlines and news casts of the strange phenomenon as many
are declared missing – it is panic everywhere!
5. The two set (1&2) above – the resurrected dead in Christ and living in Christ are caught
up or air lifted to heaven with Christ – only them see Jesus and hear the trumpets sound – I
Thess. 4:17
6. The heavens are shaken and the demonic powers occupying it are displaced and pushed to
earth – 2 Thess. 2:6
7. Prior and progressively, in heaven, the seven seals (Rev. 6:1) are broken; the seven Angels
blow their trumpets (Rev. 8:2, 6) and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God (Rev.
16:1). These heavenly or spiritual activities manifest on earth as the tribulation times.
8. The period of grace ends, as the Holy Spirit is withdrawn – Tribulation Times lasting seven
years, begin on earth – 2 Thess. 2:7b

– Rev. 19:1-9, Mt. 26:29; 25:6, 10.

RAPTURE

1. Bible calls it “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, I call it “Time of Earth’s Difficulty / Nightmare.” Daniel

masquerading as a peaceful, enigmatic, strong world leader and saviour – II Thess. 2:8-10

fall by the sword – Rev. 12:6, 13-16, Mt. 24:16-20, Dan. 11:41, Zech 14:2
12. All these are the savagery of tribulation times (actually the second half of 7 years, which
intensifies in debauchery) – Mt. 24:21-26, Rev. 12:17.
13. Some who missed rapture and understand will martyr for Christ rather than bow to the Anti-
Christ and his rule – Rev. 13:6-7, 9-10, 15, Dan. 11:32b, 33, 34a, 35.
14. The hallmark of his rule is the forced acceptance of his sign or number 666-an instrument for
economic and social survival and acceptance.
15. Some capitulate and succumb to the Anti-Christ and his rule – Rev. 13:8, 13-14, 16-18, Dan.

is only to announce one thing-the glorious return of Christ – Mt. 24:29, Luke 21:25-26, Joel
2:30-31.
19. At the nick of time, Jesus the Lord and man of war together with the Saints in battle array
shows up physically in full glare, a second time, to the consternation of many and wipes
away His enemies and the enemies of Israel or the elect – Mt. 24:27-28, Mt. 24:29-31, Rev.

F. JUDGMENT OF NATIONS ON RETURN OF CHRIST: (The sheep on the Right and the Goats on the Left)
Mathew 25:31-46 , 1 Cor. 6:2
For days after the end of the battle of Armageddon, also signaling the end of tribulation times and just before the millennial kingdom of God begins, nations of what is remaining of the world will be gathered and judged, some saved, some destroyed; The Saints co-judge with Christ - Rev. 2:26-27.
1. God will judge and slay:
· Those who took the sign and number of the Anti- Christ or believe in him
· Those who mistreated surviving Israelites and (left behind) Christians
· Those who insulted and rejected God
NBThose who aid and abet the anti- Christ by mistreating Israelites and Christians, in so doing reject, insult and disbelieve the God of Israel/Christians- who is the true and living God. Their actions condemn them to hell automatically – Matt. 25:41; 25:46a.
2. God embraces and rewards:
· Surviving (or remnant) Israel as long promised severally in scriptures
· Surviving( left behind) Christians who refused the mark, number or sign of the anti-Christ
· Those who show love and hospitality to Israelites and (left behind) Christians
NBThose who helped persecuted Israelites and (left behind) Christians, in so doing identify with the God of
Israel/Christians – who is the true and living God. Their actions automatically cause them to receive the
Kingdom and live forever- Matt. 25:32-34, 46b; 24:31.
(God does not change neither does His principles. Rahab, the Jerichoite who identified with God
of Israel by shielding the fleeing spies was spared annihilation alongside her family when the God
of Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho (Joshua 2:1-21; 6:11, 22-23, 25, Heb. 11:31, James 2
: 25) God is applying the same principle to nations of the world in Matthew 25:31-46).
