    The rapture of the church. Christ comes in the clouds to “snatch away” all those who trust in Him (1 Corinthians 15:52). At this same time, the “dead in Christ” will be resurrected and taken to heaven, too. From our perspective today, this is the next event in the eschatological timeline. The rapture is imminent; no other biblical prophecy needs to be fulfilled before the rapture happens.

    2. The rise of the Antichrist. After the church is taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:7–8), a satanically empowered man will gain worldwide control with promises of peace (Revelation 13:1; Daniel 9:27). He will be aided by another man, called the false prophet, who heads up a religious system that requires worship of the Antichrist (Revelation 19:20).

    3. The tribulation. A period of seven years in which God’s judgment is poured out on sinful humanity (Revelation 6–16). The Antichrist’s rise to power is associated with this time period. During the tribulation on earth, the Church will be in heaven. It is thought that at this time the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will occur in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 19:6–10).

    During the Great Tribulation all false religion will be destroyed.

    Paul described this tribulation as a righteous act of God against “those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news” about Jesus Christ. 2Th 1:6-8

    The earth will be cleansed of all wickedness.

    Then as Jesus promised, the meek will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

    The Bible does not say that the Great Tribulation would be 3.5 years.

    Read the book I do not think the wrath of God is divided and the 1st 3.5 years will be real bad too. The seal judgments kill one quarter of the people and it seems these begin with the arrival of the anitchrist who shows up on the white horse. The exact things written such as the two prophets and the mark of the beast will come. The scorpion stinging swarm, water made bad, grass being destroyed, Christians being persecuted and all. Just read it and that is what will happen. The Lord will return 42 months from the abomination of desolation.

    That is covered in detail in the book of Revelations... but here is a near future summary.

    There are dark times ahead, Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

    The coming time is darker than most are aware and they will get even darker when the 'Tribulation'

    period described in the bible starts.

    Obadiah 1:15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

    That time is a seven year 'Tribulation' period when the Anti-Christ rules the one-world government.

    It starts with the Rapture (when Jesus takes His believers to heaven) and ends at the Second coming of Jesus Christ. Most of the wicked and many unbelievers will be judged during this time. However, many others will be saved and go to heaven, except now they will have to forfeit their life to be saved.

    There is a time in our very near future where Russia attacks Israel as described in the bible.

    For some reason America cannot or will not be able to help Israel.

    Here, Gog means leader (Putin). Russia, Iran and other Islamic countries

    attack Israel and the Lord himself (Jesus Christ) comes down to destroy

    Israel’s enemies (there will be a great earthquake and the Lord shows himself to all the nations.

    Ezekiel 38:19-23

    19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”’

    There is NO Bible prophecy for a 3.5 year tribulation.

    the Bible does prophecy a tribulation BEFORE the 2nd coming of Jesus

    Those 7 years will be spent watching christians walk around as though they are dead, because they

    will be made to realize that it has been "they" who have been so traitorously wrong about, and against, God.
