Mike’s chart looks much better than mine:
Hi Pastor Tapp. I just wanted to tell you what a nice chart you have detailing Daniel’s 70th Week. I created one about 10 years ago and have updating it ever since. When I searched the web for these, it seems that 99% of them get the events and or timings wrong. You are spot on with yours. So kudos to you and your church. Please see the link for the chart I made. God bless! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JK6iYYA7SNsgLs7WsMhRecCV9S8ymMpk/view?usp=drivesdk
Hello Mike,
I haven’t looked over your entire chart and all the details, but, from a quick review, I have a question. Is you chart saying the second coming of Jesus Christ is after Trumpet 2?
Thanks,
Josh
No sir. But after you asked that, I can now see how my chart may mislead people into thinking that.
Actually, the events in solid red, I believe all happen on the same day (Day of the Lord) in this order: Sun & moon darkened, 144000, Rapture (or 2nd coming), the 7th Seal, Trumpet & Vial 1, Trumpet & Vial 2.
I get that from the 4 angles of Revelation 7:1-3 and Luke 17:26-30. The 4 angles that were given to hurt the Earth and the sea, that is the 1st & 2nd trumpet & 1st & 2nd vial, had to be held back from hurting the earth & sea until the 144000 were sealed.
Hope that clears that up.
Hello Mike, okay, understood, thank you. Your chart looks really good. It is difficult to fit everything on a one page chart so there will be some confusion at times. Do you have more information on why you think Trumpet 1/Vial 1 and Trumpet 2/Vial 2 are on the same day as the 2nd coming? Not criticizing or anything like that. Just asking as I don’t think I see it in the Scriptures. Is it only the “had to be held back from hurting the earth & sea until the 144000 were sealed?” Just wondering if there were other Scriptures you might have used. Thanks for sharing very much!
Hi Josh.
Sure there’s more. As I mentioned, I also use Luke 17:26-30:
“as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
Notice it says ‘the same day’. We are being raptured out of here and then all hell’s going to break loose, I believe on the same day as it’s said in Luke 17. It’s also interesting how two illustrations are given, one of fire and brimstone, another of water. Two angels were given to hurt the earth. Hail and fire mingled with blood will rain down upon the earth in the same fashion that it rained fire and brimstone on Sodom. And then the other two angles were given to hurt the sea. A burning mountain is cast into the sea. Something like that would bring tsunamis to the coastal cities and lands and bring floods similar to how the flood came in Noah’s day bringing destruction (not to mention the blood). I think you agree how the trumpets and vials are concurrent with one another. A trumpet judgement happens and then the vial judgement happens right after. The 4 angles of Rev 7 theory offers more evidence that supports the trumpets and vials being concurrent as well.
I hope I explained it clearly enough. For me, it’s enough evidence to include in my chart. God bless!
Hello again, Mike!
Yes, I 100% agree with you. It’s difficult to show that on a chart without some confusion, but I do agree with you 100% on what you’ve said because the Scriptures in Luke 17 are directly talking about these events. Thank you for the clarification. I was wondering if you could update the chart somehow so it doesn’t appear at the bottom of the chart that the rapture is after the 2nd trumpet. Your chart is better than mine. As I said too, I need to look closer at all the events on your chart. But, I am pretty sure we align very closely. Maybe you might change “RAPTURE” at the bottom to the “DAY OF THE LORD?” Maybe add a bigger icon for rapture or something on the upper part of the chart? Or, somehow not connect that red line going down from the top? Or, just leave it as you have it because it might be difficult to do? I am just thinking through. Love your chart! Great work.
In Jesus Christ,
Josh
Hey Pastor, thanks for your nice comments. I removed the text in the timelines that can lead the viewer into falsely thinking the rapture happens after the 2nd vial. That’s redundant info anyway. All is said in the top half then you follow the redline to the bottom half were the timelines are and it’s clear that all that happens in the 1335th day. At the very bottom-most, is the summery or conclusion. It begins with the Covenant, then you have 1260 days called the Beginning of Sorrows, then the Abomination, then 75 days of Great Tribulation, then the Rapture, then 1215 days of the Wrath of God, then the Saints Rule. I’m thinking of changing that to ‘Millennium’. Thanks for all your suggestions. God bless!
Hello Mike,
I just checked out your website from the link in the upper right of the chart. Awesome! I have also worked on charts just like some of these too. Your charts and graphics are better! I think I have posted some on this site, but I might not have (I can’t remember). For the feasts of the Lord, I figured it all out on an Excel spreadsheet somewhere. Also, I’ve worked on the timing of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Awesome charts! I’ve also worked on the kings of Israel and Judah. Do you have any charts on the kings? They can be very confusing at times, but I figured them all out at one time (or I thought I had them figured out!).
In Jesus Christ,
Josh
Good morning. It is great to finally see someone notice that the trumpets and the bowls are one and the same event, though I disagree on some items/timelines you have here, I am still being taught by our Lord (as are we all). You might be interested in a few things the Lord has revealed to me.
1: the first trumpet. Like English, Greek has primary meaning and secondary meaning depending on context.
A. Hail can be “pimple” (or boil if great, my emphasis added)
B. Fire can be “fever” (pyro in Greek)
C. Blood is still blood, but in the context of the 1st bowl “ugly and painful sores”, Rev 16:2
Trees, and grass often refer to leaders (trees) and flesh (grass).
So those that get the mark of the beast, will have massive open puss filled wounds with a fever.
2. You have lined up the 144000, which is great, but there is another one that is hidden in a mistranslation of revelation 6v7, all bibles say “beasts of the earth, but in the Greek it is “Therion tes ges” (beast of the earth) beast in the singular form. I believe this to be the same “Therion tes ges” (beast of the earth) of revelation 13v11.
I have quite a few more cool hidden things if you are interested. Otherwise I will stop here.
Yes, sure, please let us know more of the hidden things you have found.
Just starting with things you likely already know;
1: the temple in heaven is opened at the end of the trumpets, rev 11v19, with no note of when it was closed, then it was closed at the start of the bowls (rev 15v7), not to be opened again, though this just helps confirm what you already know about the bowls and the trumpets being one and the same. But creates a problem for the “trumpets then bowls” argument.
2. The last of the plagues, rev 15v1, vs rev 18v4 “come out, least you receive her plagues”. Again indicates a new timeline from rev 17.
The way I see it is rev 2-12 is a view from outside Israel, clue is all the churches in Rev2, 3 are outside Israel, and the judgements are “whole earth view”, rev 12-17 is viewed from Israel, as it starts with Israel the woman ( confirmed with Genesis 37v9-11 as to who the woman is), and confirmed with rev16v6 combined with Matt 23v37-39. This indicates “where” these first few “plagues” will strike……around Israel. Then Rev 17 onwards is a “heaven view” which is why “time” is treated differently….. it is outside spacetime, and treats things like “the whore Babylon” differently, as it transcends multiple generations.
3: I personally believe Jesus will come just before the trumpets/bowls, because of rev 14v15, at the same time deal with the false church, the whore Babylon, Rev 14v19 & Rev 18 (though I know I am missing some info here).
4: I believe God in his mercy will ensure no one innocent will go through the “plagues”, that is children too young to choose to reject him. I belief this is confirmed in Rev 7v1-3. If you go back to Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, chapter 37. You will notice in 37v8 there was “ no breath (spirit)”, even though the flesh was complete. There is always three in conception, father, mother, and God breathing his spirit into the new being in his image. He will stop his part before the plagues.
5: I personally believe the 3 “woes” are when Jesus will reign. As the “woes are to “earth dwellers” and in the 5th judgement, the locust sting is to those without Gods mark, indicating that there will be Gods people on the earth at this time(maybe the wedding feast in heaven is during the first 4judgements) This also links Rev 9 “star that falls (decends in Greek) with the angle of Rev 20, he opens the pit, throws in Satan for 1000years, and releases the stinging locusts at the same time, this also links Rev 17v8, the beast was (in our timeline), is not ( in the pit for 1000 years) and will go to perdition (destruction, at the 7the trumpet/bowl), where Jesus will hand over the world to God the father (1 cor 15v24), and the judgement of the dead will begin. Some to life…..just (1 Cor 3v12-15), but those who are alive and had the honour of the first resurrection (like Paul stated in 1 Thes 4v13-17). Will have enjoyed the 1000 year reign with Christ from the 5th to the 7th plagues.
6: I believe the seals will be the troubled times for true Christian’s, as it fits Jesus words to his disciples about the end times, about the sun, moon, space issues before his return, this lines up with the sixth seal. This also make sense with hebrews 9v27. I personally don’t think the rapture will occur the way most Christian’s think. I think we will be hunted down and martyred. As each must die once. This makes me believe the two witnesses will be Enoch and Elijah, as they still haven’t died.
7: the 70 weeks of Daniel, biggest problem here is there is no 70 weeks. Daniel 9:24 doesn’t say seventy weeks in Hebrew, it says “seventy seventy decreed”, John Calvin translated this to weeks to fit the following scripture about Christ (and he was an antisemite apparently), but transgressions are not finished, and sin has not ended, they have been paid for by Christs blood. The 70 70 is likely 4900 years from when Israel became a nation through to when the 7th trumpet occurs and God the father comes and dwells with us. By approx calculations this is coming up to 3900, so if you add the 1000 year reign, then all this will occur soon.
I still have lots to learn and am keen to hear your thoughts
God bless.
I missed in point 2 from my last entry, the view from Israel “the whole sea turned to blood” the second and third plagues. Link this to Daniel talking to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2v37-39, he indicates they will “rule over the whole earth” vs39. Clearly this doesn’t happen (I’m in New Zealand, and Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome never came here), but the scripture doesn’t lie, what it is saying is from the point of view of Israel, the world was conquered. Israel, its neighbours, and its neighbours neighbours, so “Israel’s whole world” was ruled by them. Therefore the “whole sea” turned to blood,, and “all the rivers” turned to blood. It’s indicating location of the 2nd and 3rd plagues focus.
