Bible Answer: Hi MMcHale, I'll give you what i believe (mind you it's a big subject!) The Rapture (John 14v1-3, 1 Thess 4, 1 Cor 15) - is involved in the hope of the Church ever since the days of Paul. (1 Thess 1 - to wait for His Son from heaven, the deliverer from coming wrath) Our hope in this present age is a heavenly hope in contrast with Israel earthly hope. The rapture is not really dealt with specifically by John. It is probably eluded to in John's transport to heaven. The "churches" of chapter 1-3 are no longer mentioned on earth during the 4-19 (there are other witnesses to God) The Tribulation - (1 Thess 5, the opening of the seals Rev 6 etc) covers the whole of the last week of Daniels 70 week prophecy - this week (of years - thus 7 years) begins with the signing of the covenant with death, a "peace deal" involving protection for Israel from her enemies. The first half of the 7 years involve the opening of the first 5 seals, first horse - peace with threat of war, secondly worldwide war, famine, death etc - more circumstancial. The mid-point of the Tribulation involves, I take it, the casting down of Satan (Rev 12), the revealing of the man of Sin and false prophet (Rev 13), the setting up of the blasphemous idol representing the man of sin in the Temple (rebuilt at Jerusalem), Intensified judgements (Rev 6-18) the last seal which includes 7 trumpets and 7 bowls), The Second Coming of Christ in Glory (after the judgement of Bablyon Rev 17, 18) "King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev 19) Armageddon (Rev 19) The Literal earthly Millenial Kingdom (Rev 19)is set up Satan bound during this period (Rev 20) The Final Satanic Led rebellion - judged by fire coming down from heaven. Rev 20v9 Great White Throne (Rev 20 Time merges with eternity (21-22) (my time has run out must go!) In Christ Andrew |
