How Biblical Timeline is derived from Daniel and Revelation.

End Times Made Easy ... and Complete. 1. Pre-tribulation proof is not found in one verse but in Revelation’s timeline, which requires the correct interpretation of the seals in order to flow smoothly, as God intended. Jesus’ appearance in Matt. 24 clearly matches the sixth seal in Rev.6, which confirms the rapture because the multitude appears in heaven in Rev.7. (Click to see verses) (Seals 1-5 are in the past, which I explain below.) Thus, the events of Rev. 8-16 are the “tribulation”, which concludes with Armageddon. Revelation does not require manipulation to make sense. 2. Next, the “abomination” in Matthew 24 is clearly the last sign before the rapture because Jesus tells the Jews to run for the mountains with literally the clothes on their back. Coincidently, Revelation 6 has people hiding in the mountains in conjunction with the sixth seal, which further supports the link between Matthew and Revelation. 3. Finally, the “signs before the rapture” are found in Daniel 11 because it contains the “abomination”, surrounded by other events in the Middle East. My unique but correct interpretation of Daniel 11 shows how God predicted every empire in the Middle East, right up to present times, and there are still verses pending, before the abomination. Those verses are the signs to look for, which are straight from the Bible, and more specific than anything you’ll find elsewhere. Incidentally, these signs were especially meant for this generation because Daniel 11 was “sealed until the time of the end”. The chart below focuses on the abomination from the Book of Daniel because that’s where Jesus said to look! As you can tell, the basic timeline is immovable because the abomination starts a 2300-day period in Daniel 8 but is also middle of the 70^th seven. That fact cannot be changed but it fits Matthew and Revelation perfectly. Any different timeline must be based on human opinion because the Bible cannot contradict itself. By the way, Matthew 24:16-28 (where Jesus said to flee), is often misunderstood because it contains the word “tribulation”, in some versions of the Bible, but it is definitely not the same as Revelation 8-19. That is a primary argument used by post-tribulationists, attempting to skip most of Revelation, but that is easily proven wrong. “Tribulation” is just a word, meaning “suffering or distress”, which is used 22 times in the KJV as a common word. Over the years, people have grown to associate it with the plagues and other events of Revelation but it is not used as such in the Bible. In fact, the last time it is used is in Revelation 7:14, when it refers to a time in the past (the seals actually). Therefore, it never refers to the plagues and other events of Revelation 8-19. (For more on that topic, click here) This video is a quick summary that I made for You-tube. It explains the first chart and a few others but there is more information on the website. So who do I think I am ? I was called to be a teacher, many years ago, and discovered some things about Daniel and Revelation that, apparently, others have not realized yet. I started this campaign to explain the correct meaning of Daniel 11 but it has expanded to defend Revelation. Many people ignore Revelation and others have been taught incorrectly. Honestly, the information on this website is the only way that Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation all agree, without excluding or contradicting major parts. You can judge for yourself because I address the old theories as I go. Rest assured, I am not trying to promote myself because I would prefer to remain anonymous anyway. Yet, if anything, being anonymous should support my legitimacy, not diminish it. After all, it’s is not about me; it’s about teaching the Bible just the way it is, without adding or subtracting. My identity is unimportant because God’s Word speaks for itself. At least read the information before you decide. The Abomination - the “last sign” from Matthew 24 When people think of end times, they often think of Matthew 24 because that is where Jesus gave the signs of “His coming” to the disciples. Some of the signs are slightly vague but it is fairly obvious that they are in chronological order. First, Jesus made the statement that the stones of the temple would be thrown down. That happened just a few decades later, at the end of the first Jewish revolt against the Romans, in 70 AD. Secondly, Jesus warned of false messiahs and wars, which sounds like the third revolt because it was led by a false messiah named Bar Kokhba, who vowed to restore Israel, but instead, the devastating loss scattered the Jews throughout the world, which was also predicted in the Bible. (The revolts are covered in the 2nd seal.) Then, Jesus mentions more wars, famines, and earthquakes, which happen over a long period of time. Then, Jesus warns that they will be handed over, persecuted, and put to death, which happened, most severely, during the Holocaust of the 20^th century. (The Holocaust is covered in the forth seal.) Then, Jesus states that the gospel will be preached to all nations and then the end will come. (That matches the fifth seal.) You probably see a pattern emerging because, not only are the signs chronological, they also match the seals in Revelation. That is understandable since they both occur during the same time period, the last 2000 years. (chart on the left) Yet, the spreading of the gospel was not the last sign that Jesus gave. After that, Jesus gets more specific and conveys a sense of urgency when referring to the “abomination that causes desolation” from the prophet Daniel. Post-tribulationists, over the centuries, have tried to put the abomination in the past but their theories make no sense because they have huge gaps and mess up Matthew’s chronology. Seriously, why would Jesus interrupt the signs of His coming to talk about an event from the past and then jump forward again to the actual event? It defies common sense. (left-top) My explanation of Daniel 11 places the abomination in the future, where it belongs, so Jesus’ signs in Matthew maintain their logical chronology. (left-bottom) As such, it is obvious that the abomination is the last, most crucial sign, before the rapture. Jesus said, “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak.” (Matthew 24: 15-18) Since Jesus was talking about the signs of His coming and he tells them to run, with literally the clothes on their back, it is quite obvious that His appearance in the clouds, in verses 29-31 (quoted below), is imminently close to the “abomination”. However, Jesus pauses to explain a time of distress for the Jews, in verses 19-28, and it has caused a major dispute within Christianity because the word “tribulation” is used in some translations. (I clarified the definition after the first chart above.) To explain further, the distress is meant for the Jews instead of the gentiles because the Jews are not taken in the rapture. They simply don’t believe that Jesus was the Son of God. The same distress is accounted for in Revelation because many people witness Jesus’ appearance, when they are hiding in the mountains, where Jesus told them to flee. “They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!"” (Rev. 6:16) That is immediately following the sixth seal so it confirms that the abomination happens in conjunction with the sixth seal or rapture. “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. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” (Matthew 24: 29-31) The above is Jesus’ description of the actual “rapture”, which literally means “gathering”, but as explained above, it is not the end or Armageddon. That’s simply impossible because the signs in the sun, moon, and stars (above) perfectly match the sixth seal in Revelation 6. Additionally, Revelation 7 clearly describes the gentiles in heaven. “I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9) Regardless of what people call it, that is clearly the gentiles in heaven and it is only Revelation 7. Many events, in Revelation, happen afterwards so I don’t see how anyone, at anytime, could have thought that people only went to heaven after Armageddon (chapter 16). True, the concept of pre-tribulation has not been around forever but “the Word of God is living and active”. (Heb. 4:12a) “Revelation” has certainly been around but no one understood it correctly. Honestly, with the 4th seal happening in the 1940’s and the 3rd seal being so vague, I don’t see how anyone could have interpreted it correctly, before WWII. Yet, people use a concept of Revelation that is hundreds-of-years old. Remember, God pours new wine into new wineskins. However, some churches would rather preserve their religion than see the Truth and make any kind of change. True, people should be cautious and check the scriptures, like the Bereans. But they should not be stubborn and blind like the Pharisees. Perhaps this new explanation of the seals will inspire some churches to change their official doctrine and recognize the rapture but even if they don’t, individuals can decide for themselves because without question, Revelation’s timeline proves that there will be a rapture, a tribulation, and then Armageddon.

click to enlarge “Pre-Tribulation” proof: the Seals / Revelation’s Timeline One discovery I made, a long time ago, was the seals but I did not realize, until recently, that it was not common knowledge but it should be. Understanding the seals makes Revelation’s timeline flow smoothly and chronologically for a change. In turn, it proves, without question, that the rapture (Matt. 24:29) is “pre-tribulation”. (*This is not the same, old, pre-tribulation theory from before. This is real proof that cannot be disputed because it’s straight from the Bible.) The key that links the Rapture to Revelation is the fact that the signs in the sun, moon, and stars, during Jesus’ appearance in Matt. 24:29 are the same as the sixth seal, in Rev. 6:12. It’s true; click either verse to view. The rapture is clearly the sixth seal, but people have failed to make that connection. Perhaps, it’s because they didn’t know what to do with the rest of the seals but I have solved that problem, once-and-for-all. The seals are not as mysterious as people may think. In fact, they took place during the last 2000 years and I explain that, very logically, one-by-one. In doing so, I show how the resurrection, Israel’s restoration, and the rapture, (which are all important events), are also included in Revelation, rather than just being skipped. You will see that it makes perfect sense. And by linking Matthew 24 to Revelation 6, and explaining the rest of the seals, it proves, without question, that the rapture is “pre-tribulation” because many other events, in Revelation, happen after the sixth seal. In other words, no one can dispute the pre-tribulation rapture without discarding most of Revelation but that is expressly forbidden in the Bible. (as stated above – Rev. 22:19) The correct meaning of the seals makes Revelation’s timeline flow seamlessly, especially when compared to the old, pre-tribulation theory, which placed the rapture somewhere between Revelation 3 & 4. There was never actually any proof to that theory because it relied on a couple of words and messed up the chronology of chapters 4 & 5. That’s why it was constantly being disputed by post-tribulationists but no one can dispute the Truth. In the old theory, people claimed that the 24-elders were the raptured church but that makes no sense because Revelation 5 is talking about the crucifixion. Besides, Revelation 7:9 describes the gentiles, arriving in heaven, which is obviously the rapture, and there is no symbolism required. Since that follows the sixth seal, which matches the rapture in Matthew 24, everything makes perfect sense. And since the tribulation actually starts with the trumpet plagues in Revelation 8, it makes the 1260 days or 42 months, in Revelation, line up with Daniel 8 & 9, as shown in the first chart above. I know it’s hard to accept something new, sometimes, but if it agrees with the Bible and makes better sense, why would you want to stick with something that’s wrong?

DANIEL11TRUTH.com End Times Made Easy (and Complete) Real Proof of “Pre-Tribulation” Explaining the Seals, Daniel 11, the Beast, 70th Seven, and more.

Signs before the Rapture - from Daniel 11 Biblical end times are synonymous with Daniel 11 because it is the only chapter in the Bible that was “sealed until the time of the end”. Furthermore, the angel, who relayed the information to Daniel, called it the “Book of Truth”. (Daniel 10:21) Those two facts alone should indicate the importance of Daniel 11 but it is also the only chapter in the Bible that has the “abomination” surrounded by other chronological events. Daniel 11 is literally God’s “timeline”, from Daniel to Armageddon (including the rapture). It has successfully predicted every empire in the Middle East, for the past 2500 years, with no gaps. Since that is true, which I prove with verifiable history, then it stands to reason that the remaining verses will take place as God described also! Therefore, the verses that remain, before the abomination is set up in verse 31, are the most specific signs, in the Bible, that point to the rapture. The great thing about this explanation of end times is that you don’t have to take my word for it; all you have to do is watch. There have been many books and websites about Biblical end times but none could be as specific as Daniel 11 because it leads to the “abomination that causes desolation”, which Jesus specifically pointed to when giving the signs of His coming. Sure, Jesus gave other signs (before the abomination) but they are too vague or random to actually watch for. For example, He mentioned earthquakes and indeed, scientific data would support that the frequency has been increasing but how frequent do they have to get? Once a month? Every day? Who knows? I could make the same argument for false prophets or famines because no one knows ‘how many’ or ‘how severe’ things have to get. Jesus said there would be an increase of wickedness and Paul elaborated on what kinds to look for: “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.” (2 Timothy 3: 2-5) I don’t think anyone would argue that wickedness has increased from decade-to-decade or year-to-year but what is the limit? One of my oldest friends (whose religion does not permit him to believe in the rapture) just says, “The world can’t go much longer because things can’t get much worse.” How vague can you get? No one really knows how bad things can get. I could pull examples from newspapers everyday, detailing murders, rapes, or greed but that gives no indication of how close we are to the end. Things could get steadily worse for many decades or it could end tomorrow. I mean, how much wickedness do we have to experience to equal the depravity of Noah’s day? That’s just my point: no one knows. That’s why following Daniel 11 through a series of chronological events is the most specific signs you will find, regarding Biblical end times. The verses lead to one, specific event, the “abomination that causes desolation”, which was referenced by Jesus, immediately before His coming. Therefore, the verses preceding the abomination are infinitely more specific than counting the frequency of evil deeds or disasters that have no gauge of reference. Eventually, all the verses in Daniel 11 must be fulfilled because Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (Matthew 5:18) That would certainly include God’s “Book of Truth” or Daniel 11. Granted, no one can know the exact day of the rapture but there has to be some “signs” because Jesus said, “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.” (Luke 12:37) Personally, that sounds exciting to me but how could a servant “watch” if there are no specific signs to look for? I think Daniel 11 was unsealed for that very purpose, at this precise time. The signs were meant for this particular generation because we are indeed living in the last days. “None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.” (Daniel 12:10 b) Happening Now !

As shown in the chart, the two time- periods cannot be the same because the “abomination” starts one period and is the middle of the other! They overlap about half-way but they are definitely offset. Many people have been taught that they are the same but that’s obviously contradicting the Bible. The same group usually teaches that the “70th seven” starts with a treaty between the antichrist and Jews but that is not in the Bible either. The Bible actually indicates that the final empire, which later produces the antichrist, will confirm a covenant with “many” but it does not imply Israel at all. I have my own theory of who it might be, which links Daniel 9, Daniel 2, current events, and something else. I admit, it’s a theory but at least it does not contradict the Bible. Read my full explanation of the 70^th seven and decide for yourself. The Beast from Revelation Also noteworthy is my unique (but logical) explanation of the “beast” from Revelation. I link multiple references, from Revelation, not only to Daniel, but also to Genesis (Abraham), making God’s “big picture”, from start to finish, make a complete circle. Given the mathematical and scientific order that God designed in His creation, it makes sense that it would do that anyway. Conclusion / Why Now? I have done my best to illustrate that no discussion of end times can be complete without examining the “abomination”, from the prophet Daniel, because that is where Jesus said to look. For that reason, I focused on the abomination and after many years, spanning decades, I finally figured out Daniel 11. You might be skeptical but God never said it would be sealed forever. Therefore, somebody had to discover it, just like somebody had to hit the lottery. But like I said, it’s not about me; I just happened to be in the right place, at the right time, and fit the right criteria. Paul said that God chooses the lowly and unknown, to shame the wise, so that no one may boast. Lowly and unknown would certainly describe me. But now, I feel as though it is my duty to spread the message that God gave me. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds, especially when people dislike change. As Adrian Monk would say, “It’s a blessing and a curse.” (Jeremiah said it another way; click here.) I didn’t know I was discovering something new; I was just determined to rely on the Bible so I wouldn’t follow the wrong opinion. When I stopped to look around, I was completely alone. Since then, I have learned a lot about what others believe, but in doing so, I am more convinced than ever that this is the correct explanation. For simplicity, I don’t try to address every book in the Bible but I assure you; nothing is contradicted. Over the months, the website has evolved to emphasize what people comment about the most, “tribulation”. Since Jesus specifically pointed to the Book of Daniel, why would any, so-called scholar, try to prove a timeline with anything else? After seeing what others have been taught, I truly believe that I was called to set the record straight on both sides of the “tribulation” debate. Likewise, I think the unsealing of Daniel 11 is meant to offer proof of Jesus’ coming so people can watch the signs. Some may wonder why God would make it so easy for skeptics to believe, especially in the last days. A skeptic still has to develop faith but I think the Bible explains why God would offer proof. The Parable of the Great Banquet describes a time when the invited guests made materialistic excuses not to go to the banquet. Therefore, the poor, blind, crippled, and lame were brought in but there was still room. So, the Master sent out the servant, a final time, to “make” people come in so His house would be full. (Luke 14: 16-24) My point is: How could the servant “make” people believe, when the Bible is already available, unless there is something new to offer as proof? Also, in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, God calls a whole new group of believers in the “eleventh hour” because of His generosity. (Matthew 20: 1-16) I think the unsealing of Daniel 11 is God’s generous way of offering proof, in the last days, so His house will be full. Regardless of the exact reason, Daniel and Revelation are important books and their true meaning should be considered carefully, according to the evidence, and with an open-mind. I hope this website will convince skeptics that the Bible is real, so many can be saved. I also wish that all churches could come together and agree on the basic timeline, because there is only one Bible, and Christians should be able to agree. Among other things, it looks better to non-Christians. I took the liberty to copy/paste the quote on the left from an actual facebook post because it perfectly captured the essence of this site.
