Revelation 1-5
Confirm Jesus Christ's divinity and as the savior and teaches how Jesus deals with the New Testament Church if they entertain sexual immorality or idolatry or if they become luke warm, and how he commends them for the things they do right, also with insight into the God's throne room.
The below tribulation would only have happened had a rapture have happened already, we’ve(2Thes 2:7(refers to an individual restraining the enemy, guess who, none the less, all those under the blood in right standing, with faith in spiritual warfare not military warfare and in fastings often)) are holding the rapture off with intense fasting and will continue to do so unless taken out of the way by the enemy, which we are not going to allow along with your help, it’s a team effort, together we hold the rapture off and turn the tide in favor of Christ the king. We all got to do our part, amen !!
Because the rapture has been held off, we are now going through the tribulation period with the events drastically altered, we still have the four horseman(extra powerful demonic forces) who've manipulated us by our own greed and corruption into a recession, turning us from God starving us spiritually making us more vulnerable to sickness/disease, promoting corrupt leaders, trying to bring a massive world war either using the Israeli/Palestinian conflict or the North/South Korean conflict. It's left to us to turn the tide and defeat darkness. But we don't have the two witnesses, we've got born again abelievers, the intensity of god's judgement(7trumpets/7bowls) is drastically altered by believers with intense fasting in the Body of Christ, but will still get very hectic soon if we don't steer mankind away from sexual immorality, selfishness/greed, abortion, homosexuality and military warfare. Sin continues to release very intense curses, with sin abounding world wide on such a massive scale, the intensity of the curses is brewing a massive boiling pot of tribulations.
Having said that, had a rapture have happened, the below per the book of Revelation would've unfolded.(if those helping me as explained above are taken out, a rapure will still happen, then see below for what will happen post rapture).
Revelation 6-10
Gives insight into the tribulation period
Rev 6, you've got the four horseman bringing famine, war, sickness, death and disease on an enormous scale(four seals) 5th seal, martyred saints calling for justice, 6th seal, enormous earthquake, sky scrolling back like a scroll, sun becoming black, moon becoming like blood, with stars falling, mountains and hills been moved and mighty men and woman crying for the mountains to fall on them to kill them to hide themselves from the glory of the face of him sitting on the throne of the lamb of God.
Revelation 7, then after this earthquake of rev 6, the four horseman are retrained slightly from killing until the 144000 people are supernaturally saved and go forth and reap the end time harvest with great rejoicing in heaven and says these that get saved appear to him before the throne room of the living God and will be cared for ito protection and food etc. i.e they got saved during this tribulation period and were obviously later martyred during this tribulation period and went to heaven.
Revelation 8, 7th seal which includes 7 trumpets(2nd period), prayers of the saints are brought before God in his throne room, 4 trumpets with their effect been
1. 1/3 of trees, grass scorched by intense heat
2. 1/3 sea turns to blood and creatures and ships destroyed
3. 1/3 rivers, springs destroyed having turned to wormwood and are bitter
4. 1/3 of the light given off by the sun, stars and moon depleted(darkness).
Revelation 9, 5th trumpet, with supernatural scorpions released to torment the unsaved for 5 months(unbearable pain), 6th trumpet, the river euphrates dries up, allowing armies to gather for war , and with all of these plagues 1/3 of mankind is killed and the rest remained unrepentant.
Revelation 10, gives insight into the 7th Angel with the last trumpet/sound and the mystery of the little book and how sweet it is when entertaining it, but once eaten , it brings bitterness, probally a metaphor for how sweet the enemies lies are to believe and accept, but once taken, your life quickly turns bitter.Bitterness to see hell as your future instead of heaven at the end of the trib for those that believed the enemy.
quick summary
1-4 War, famine, recession, death and disease
5 call of justice from martyred saints
6 enormous earthquake, stars falling, and people crying to die to hide from the glory of the face of lamb who sits on the throne of God
Then supernatural salvation of 144000 people and they reap the end time harvest, then simultaneously post 144000 saved and the harvest there are 7 trumpets
7 trumpets , hail and fire burning 1/3 of the trees/grass, 1/3 of sea/rivers/springs destroyed/became blood, Darkness, unbearable pain, river Euphrates dries up, massive war, message of warning of the bitterness for those that allow themselves to be deceived ito the pending judgement.
In short revelation 6-10 summarizes the tribulation period.
Revelation 12, gives a very brief overview of past and future, with the Jewish people given birth to Jesus, who is caught up to heaven, then a period that comes where Jewish people hide in the wilderness for 42 months/3.5yrs, at this time, Michael and his Angels kick the dragon and his demons out of heaven, and the dragon then pursues this people in the wilderness but they are protected for time, times and half a time(another 3.5yr period as per Daniel 12:7 & 12:11), the dragon then decides to persecute those that have come to Christ during this tribulation period, and there is rejoicing in heaven as the believers overcome the dragon by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony and they did not love their loves to the death.
Then Revelation 11, 13,14,15,16, gives details of exactly the same period of Revelation 6-10, but with more insight and slightly different details and breaks the tribulation period up into two halves of 3.5 years each
Revelation 11, 13-16 divides the tribulation into two halves.
Revelation 11, gives insight into the first 3.5 years of this period with God's two witnesses arrived on the scene at the beginning of the tribulation, given power to bring plagues, fires, droughts etc, then after 3.5 yrs the anti Christ kills them and the people rejoice, 3.5 days later they are resurrected and an enormous earthquake happens, 1/10 of the city falls, 7000 killed and many give glory to God, and there is rejoicing in heaven with the 24 elders worshipping God.
Revelation 13
At this time now shortly after these 1st 3.5 years, the Dragon and his false prophet, deceive the world into accepting him(dragon/anti Christ) as their God and are forced to take his mark in order to buy/sell.
Revelation 14
Also at more or less the same time now after the 1st 3.5 yrs, the Lamb of God appears on Zion and 144000 people are supernaturally saved and go forth and reap the end time harvest and there is rejoicing in heaven(explaining why there was rejoicing in Rev 11), and also during this second period Babylon/USA is destroyed.
So Rev 13 and 14 happen at more or less the same time(simultaneously), with some turning to Christ and others to the Anti Christ.
Then we have Revelation 15 and 16 with the seven bowls of judgment during the second half i.e the second 3.5 yrs
1 soars on those with the mark of the beast
2,sea 3,rivers & springs become blood
4 the sun scorches the people
5 darkness and unbearable pain
6 River Euphrates dries up, for the armies of the East to gather for war at Armageddon
7 Enormous earthquake, hailstones, and the cities of the nations fell as well as Babylon/USA
Revelation 17 and 18 helps us identify who Babylon is in these end times and is referred to as mystery Babylon because it’s not Iraq but America, you can read the description yourself, and it fits.
Revelation 19, after this earthquake and war, Christ Returns with his bride and locks up the dragon and his false prophet and kills those with the beasts mark with the sword of the spirit and ushers in the millennial rule of Rev 20 and the supernatural New Jerusalem of Rev 21, with more descriptions of it in Rev 22 and with warnings from Jesus to be on guard for he is coming quickly.
Some difference between rev 6-10 and Rev 11, 13-16 (apart from 4 horseman and two witnesses)
Both have a earthquake before the 144000 saved, but rev 6-10 ends with the river euphrates drying up with a massive war and no mention of a earthquake and mentions 1/3 of mankind destroyed
rev 11, 13-16 Also ends with the river euphrates drying up with a massive war but also with mentioning of a massive a earthquake and many cities including Babylon destroyed.
Consolidated
1st 3.5 years two witnesses bringing plagues, fires, droughts for God's warning to the people and four horseman bringing recession, disease, war and death, for Satan's agenda's
Then two witnesses killed, resurrected, big earthquake, Lamb of God appears, 144000 saved
2nd 3.5 yrs some accept anti Christ as their God and take his mark to buy and sell, some accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior while during this period there is scorching of 1/3 of the trees, grass / 1/3 of Rivers, seas, springs destroyed, 1/3 of the light of the sun, moon & stars depleted(darkness), unbearable pain on the unsaved for 5months, river euphrates dries up and massive war & earthquake destroying many cities incl Babylon/USA
Then Christ’s Return with his bride, millennial rule, supernatural new Jerusalem without a temple for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Then everything else per Revelation 20-21
Just in terms of other prophetic scriptures confirming this but not with such detail:
Daniel 11 & 12
There is Mathew 24, Mark 13 confirming the abomination of desolation and the call to flea & Luke 21 also shows at this time Jerusalem will be taken and people led as captives etc but not yet with the massive gathering for war that comes at the end of the tribulation
Joel 1 & 3 also gives the same foresight ito these predictions/insights
Zachariah 12 & 13 gives you the half way mark with oppotunity for those in the tribulation to come to Christ per Rev 7 & Rev 11&14, with Zachariah seeing 2/3 remaining unrepentant and 1/3 refined with fire and coming to Christ
Zachariah 14, shows the end of the tribulation with Christ's return per Rev 15 & 16
Joel 1 & 2, gives mankind insight into what will happen without the tribulation if mankind repents and renders to God their hearts and not their garments, Ezekial 36,37,38,39 gives the same insights if man repents.
There are other scriptures in Isaiah etc, these are the ones I focused on, the others are also important.
