Jon P. wrote: “It's a long but worthwhile read.  It offers a very different view of Daniel 11 from the traditional commentaries. It shows God's prophecies being fulfilled right up to the present day. It would be an excellent read for the open minded bible skeptic.” Conclusion / Why Now?       One thing I hope people take away from this website is that Biblical end times cannot be accurately discussed without examining the “abomination”, from the Book of Daniel, because that’s where Jesus said to look!   On top of that, any legitimate explanation should include all mentions of the abomination and make logical sense with Revelation, without manipulation.  That’s what this website does so I’m just following Jesus.      Honestly, now that Daniel 11 and the Seals have been revealed to this generation, everything makes perfect sense.  Not only is the Bible linked to verifiable, modern history, but verses written 2500-years ago are predicting current events in the Middle East today!  That literally proves that the Bible is real and God exists, which is the goal of this website.       So why would God make it so easy for people to believe at this particular time?  There are two parables that answer that question.  First, 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.  Therefore, the Master sent out His servant, a final time, to “make” people come in, so His house would be full. (Luke 14:16-24)   My point is: How could someone “make” people have faith, when the Bible is already available, unless there was something new to offer as proof?  Secondly, in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, God calls a whole new group of believers in the “eleventh hour” and rewards them the same.  Some long-time believers grumble but God says it’s because of His generosity. (Matthew 20: 1-16)  Personally, I think the unsealing of Daniel 11 (to reveal the signs) and the Seals (to explain Revelation) are God’s generous ways of offering proof, in the last days, so His house will be full.   Additional Timelines: Rise of the Antichrist (Daniel 11:36)  Who is the Beast?

(*But don’t worry; the other 5 Seals are done / Revelation’s true timeline.)     The 7^th Seal is just a half-hour of silence, before God’s wrath begins.  Note: The trumpet plagues can’t start until that is done because they are in the same chapter. (Revelation 8:1-2,6)  And naturally, the 6^th Seal must come before the 7^th Seal.  And since the multitude are in heaven between the 6^th and 7^th Seals (Rev 7), it further proves the pre-tribulation / 6^th Seal rapture.  Note: This is the only way that Revelation can be explained in a continuous timeline, without contradictions, manipulations, or omissions, which are forbidden anyway. (Revelation 22:19)   Note: God also embedded two 70-year periods into the Seals, from Jewish history, as proof. (visit Seals page, or click for a PDF condensed-version of the Seals, or watch video) Step 2:  Next, to find out when the “6th Seal” takes place, you must go back to Matthew 24, and see that the last sign given was the “abomination that causes desolation”.  Furthermore, the rapture happens very quickly, after the abomination, because Jesus said, “Let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.  Let no one on his roof go down to take anything out of his house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak.”  (Matt 24:16-18)  He conveyed a sense of urgency, twice, so no one would misunderstand that the rapture happens very quickly.  (see more on Matthew 24 page)  Revelation confirms that the 6^th Seal is the rapture because people are hiding in the mountains, who see Jesus (the Lamb), in the sky, and are terrified. (Rev 6:15-17)  Christians are in heaven in Revelation 7 so everything makes perfect sense.   Step 3: To find out when the abomination occurs (in real time), you must go to the chronological list of events, surrounding the abomination, in Daniel 11.  By the way, Daniel 11 is called the “Book of Truth” and it’s the only chapter, in the Bible, that was “sealed until the time of the end”.  Therefore, it’s obviously a prophecy of end times.  Additionally, when God decided to “unseal” Daniel 11, He revealed pending ‘signs’ (events), leading to the abomination (and rapture), which match current events in the Middle East today!   What makes this extraordinary is that it literally proves (to atheists or skeptics) that God exists!  I mean, if God foretold events 2500-years ago, and can make them happen today, He must be real. Right?  Anyway, you don’t have to take my word for it; the following events prove it.    Perhaps most importantly, this interpretation proves that we are heading towards the  “abomination”, just like Jesus said.  In a sense, God made end times easy to understand but waited until the “end” to reveal it.  God truly works in mysterious ways. The Abomination from the Book of Daniel   The chart below illustrates the relation between the 70^th Seven in Daniel 9:27 and the 2300-day tribulation in Daniel 8:13-14.  As you can see, the thing that connects the two is the all-important ‘abomination that causes desolation’, which Jesus specifically mentioned in Matthew 24:15, as kicking off the 6^th Seal rapture and subsequent tribulation (Trumpet and Bowl plagues, etc).  Very quickly, that can easily be proven because Jesus tells Judea to flee to the mountains when the abomination is set up.  When the 6^th Seal is opened, people are described as being in the mountains who see Jesus in the air and are mourning because they didn’t believe. (Rev 6:15-17)  Revelation 7 goes on to describe two groups: (1) the 144,000 Israelites who must endure the Trumpet plagues and be martyred in Rev 14 for not taking the mark of the beast, and (2) the multitude of Christians from every nation who appear immediately in heaven.  Those are the same two groups from Matthew 24:15-31, in the same order.  It is not hard to understand because Matthew and Revelation must match, so there are definitely two groups in Matthew 24:15-31.  The Christian rapture or ‘gathering in the sky’, which is described in Matthew 24:29-31, starts with very distinctive signs in the sun, moon, and stars, which perfectly match the 6^th Seal, so everything is proven and makes sense.    So, the event that kicks off the rapture and tribulation is the abomination from the Book of Daniel.  Yet, the abomination is mentioned 4-times in Daniel, so they must all fit together and make sense at the same time.  That brings me back to the chart, which shows that the 70^th Seven cannot be the same as the 2300-day tribulation, since the abomination is in the ‘midst’ of the 70^th Seven but ‘starts’ the 2300-days.  Many people try to say they are the same, but that is impossible.  Currently, I believe we are already in the 2^nd half of the 70^th Seven, and the abomination in Daniel 11:31 is due next, so the rapture could happen at any time and all the prophecies in the Bible would be fulfilled as required by God’s Word. (Matt 5:18)   That statement would not be true when I started this website, but now it is.  Praise Jesus.   Daniel 8: 13-14 (2300 days) ... How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled... the rebellion that causes desolation ... It will take 2300 evenings and mornings [78 months] and the sanctuary will be re-consecrated Daniel 9:27 (70th Seven) NIV He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.'  In the ‘middle’ [KJV - ‘midst’] of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.  start The 70th Seven ‘Confirm a covenant’ with “many.” See: The 70th Seven Abomination that causes Desolation Note: The “end that is decreed” literally takes 2300 days.

(Matt 24:15)  Daniel 11 is called the Book of Truth (Dan 10:21) and is the most detailed list of events that lead to the abomination.  Daniel 11 was ‘sealed until the time of the end’ (Dan 12:4), but now, it has been unsealed, revealing that recent events in the Middle East have fulfilled virtually everything before the abomination.  The historical events that follow Daniel 11, verse-by-verse, should be ample proof that this is the correct interpretation of end times and that the abomination is eminent.  After all, Moses said that the only true way to tell if a message was from God or not was to see if it came true. (Deut 18:21-22)  Well, I started this website when we were on Daniel 11:22  and now Daniel 11:30 has been completed, so this interpretation is coming true.  I’m just trying to alert people so they can get ready, because the rapture will happen very quick after the abomination, so there won’t be time to make any life decisions or changes, after it occurs.  Rapture   There is undeniable proof that the ‘rapture’ in Matthew 24:29-31 is also the 6^th Seal, in Revelation 6:12, because the signs perfectly match and the multitude is in heaven in Rev 7.  The rapture is ‘pre-tribulation’ because Seals 1-5 are in the past, so there’s nothing left in Revelation that needs to happen before the rapture.  The rapture, in Matthew 24:29-31, must happen right after the abomination (v. 15) because the two groups of ‘elect’, namely the Jews going through part of the tribulation and the Christians being gathered to heaven, must match the same two groups in Revelation 7.  God’s wrath (tribulation) starts in Revelation 8.  (There’s a simple but comprehensive explanation of ‘pre-tribulation’ here: “Proof of Rapture.”)  After the Rapture (tribulation)    The first 42 months (1260 days) of tribulation will include the Trumpet plagues (Rev 8-11), the two witnesses prophesying in Jerusalem (Rev 11), and the rise of the antichrist (Rev 13) in the Middle East.  During that period, the antichrist will lead a huge army to defeat their opponents in the South, as noted in Daniel 11:40-43.  Near the end of that time, the antichrist will also invade Israel, killing the two witnesses, who will lay in the street for 3.5 days, then arise and ascend to heaven, marking the end of the Seven Trumpets.    Before the Bowl plagues start, the false prophet will enter the scene and perform many miracles (Rev 13), which will fool everyone (2 Thess 2: 9-12) into receiving the ‘mark of the beast’, except of course the 144,000 elect (Matt 24:24).  At the 1335-day mark (Dan. 12:12), the 144,000 will be martyred (Rev 14) for not receiving the ‘mark of the beast’.  Note: Those 144,000 Jews are the same ones who become priests during the 1000-years (Rev 20:4-6).  In other words, contrary to popular belief, there’s no evidence of any gentile getting a 2^nd  chance because why would a gentile who missed the rapture become a priest?  Just saying.   After the martyrdom, the Bowl plagues will start (Rev 16), which will be far worse than the Trumpets, and they will last about 3-years, which will complete the 2300-days.  The 7^th Bowl is Armageddon, when Jesus will return to earth, along with the raptured Christians, all riding on white horses. (Rev 19)  Jesus will defeat the army of the beast, led by the antichrist and false prophet, and establish His rule on earth for 1000-years.  1000-years and Beyond   There’s not much information in the Bible about the 1000-years, except that Jesus will rule the nations with an iron scepter (Rev 19:15) and Satan will be locked in the Abyss.  There are clues that indicate that a giant chasm will separate God’s people from the outside nations, so that people can see the other side but not be able to cross. (Luke 16:26 & Zechariah 14:4)  Naturally, the two sides will be very different (Rev 22:15) so there could be some jealousy.  At the end of the 1000-years, Satan will be released, one last time (Rev 20), and he will lead a revolt against God’s people, which is the war with gog and magog. (Ezekiel 38 & 39)  They will travel from all parts of the earth, but after years of unsuccessful efforts to fight (Eze 39:3-5), they will be destroyed by fire from heaven. (Ezekiel 38:22 & Rev 20:9)  Then, all the dead, throughout history, will be judged at the Great White Throne (Rev 20:12).  And, God will create a new heaven and new earth, which will last for eternity, with no sorrow or pain.

Explained on video: Daniel 11 overview (36 min.) Explained on video: Daniel 11 overview (36 min.) End Times Made Easy ... and Complete Introduction / Overview    This website contains the true timeline of Revelation and end times because it explains the Biblical facts without manipulations or omissions.  ‘Pre-tribulation’ is easily proven because the ‘multitude from every nation’ is in heaven between the 6^th and 7^th Seals (Rev 6 - 8), with the signs of the 6^th Seal perfectly matching the rapture in Matthew 24:29-31. (see below)     The Trumpet plagues (and subsequently the Bowl plagues) literally can’t start until the 7^th Seal is done because no trumpet can sound during a “silence.” (Rev 8) Thus, the Trumpets and Bowls are actually the ‘tribulation’, which is definitely after the rapture, proving ‘pre-tribulation’ rapture.    It’s important to note that the “great tribulation,” mentioned in Rev 7:14 (past-tense) refers to Seals 1-6, in Rev 6, (resurrection to rapture), since that’s where the multitude comes from.  It makes perfect sense because that’s the only time a person could be saved by the blood of Jesus and become part of His bride (multitude in Rev 7).  Note: This timeline is ‘pre-tribulation’ because Seal 6 is due next.  The post-rapture ‘tribulation’ that most people refer to is the Trumpet and Bowl plagues, Rev 8 & 16, and many other assorted events within those chapters such as the two witnesses, antichrist, mark of the beast, etc.  So, the post-rapture tribulation (Trumpets and Bowls) is different from the “great tribulation” (Seals), which spans the past 2000-years.  Thus, you could say that the word “great” refers to length, not severity, because as bad as things are now, the post-rapture will get much worse.  So, pray and accept Jesus now.   It’s really not that difficult to understand, when you consider that the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls must happen sequentially (just as they are written) and Seals 1-5 are in the past.  No other pre-trib explains things like this because they haven’t figured out that Seals 1-5 are in the past.  Yet, that simple fact straightens out Revelation’s timeline, for the first time ever, and fills in 2000-years with Biblical prophecy.  Plus, the correct interpretation of the Seals contains two 70-year periods in Jewish history, which God inserted for verification at the proper time, which is now.    Post-tribs are essentially false prophets because they overlap the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls, and generally re-arrange God’s prophecy in Revelation, which introduces contradictions and inevitably omits important aspects, which is forbidden by God. (Rev 22:19)  Don’t be deceived because they don’t voluntarily admit to the over-lapping (unless you ask), but they all do it, since that’s the only way to make the Christians in heaven (Rev 7) coincide with Armageddon (Rev 16 & 19).    One thing that enabled me to explain end times without contradictions was that I chose to focus first and foremost on the ‘abomination that causes desolation’, from the Book of Daniel, since that’s what Jesus specifically said to watch for. (Matt 24:15)  God allowed me to correctly interpret Daniel 11 and the Seals, which made all the difference.  Seriously, when I started this website, in 2012, we were only on Daniel 11:22, but now we have completed all the verses up to Daniel 11:31.  That essentially proves this interpretation (and the Bible) to be true, and shows that the abomination is due, in a matter of time.  In fact, the current riots in Israel could easily develop into the uprising that sets up the abomination, as prophesied in Daniel 11:31.  No one knows the exact day, but the abomination could happen very soon, whenever God is ready.    *See a complete list of all pages on: Sitemap   Creation vs. Science Post-Rapture Events   New page: 11-29-2020 Coronavirus in the Bible For those who prefer videos, I made four that explain the basics.
