Is my understanding of the timeline of end times events accurate?

Thank you in advance.

Revelation Timeline of Events

Jesus returns to Earth for the second time, aka the "second coming”.
Revelation 19

The righteous are resurrected (meaning their souls leave Heaven and enter their new, Earthly, bodies) and those still living will be transformed and receive new, perfected, bodies. They will rule Earth with Jesus for 1,000 years.
Revelation 20:4 … and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

At the end of the 1,000 years the unrighteous were resurrected and are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment. Some may (or will) be condemned to the "Lake of Fire” (LOF). Death itself is then abolished in the LOF.
Revelation 20

The present Earth and heavens are eliminated and replaces with a new Earth and new heavens. Jesus says "Behold, I am making all things new”. Once again it says that the unrighteous will be thrown into the LOF. New Jerusalem appears.
Revelation 21

The "River of Life” is described and then John reiterates that Jesus will be coming to save the world which he previously described in Revelation 20.
Revelation 22

Jesus puts all enemies under his feet, meaning, they are now loyal to and serve him. Having accomplished his mission of saving ALL mankind, Jesus stops ruling the kingdom and gives it to God the Father, who then becomes ALL in ALL!
1 Corinthians 15:22-
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For "God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, "all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

Philippians 2:10-11 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Bro,

I know you mean well but why you gotta try and have a (human) precise timeline?

Why can't we just live ready?


1 Corinthians 16:13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Luke 21:36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

Hi Patrick,
While I think Lysa is correct in saying "to live ready" and is a good policy, I understand what you are trying to do.
The study of "end times" is in itself a timeline.We are saying that we are studying the end of God's Timeline.
And we are encouraged to read and study the full gospel and its importance when doing that to have a grasp of what happens and when otherwise its just very confusing and unedifying.

Now if you ask SI members is this a correct or incorrect timeline you will get a hundred and one different answers that have been gone through many times on SI.Granted it does spark some edifying debate.

I think its a very important study and my piece of advice is that like the clock itself which goes around in a very logical pattern ,then the timeline you think is correct or near correct should be practically logical and follow from one hour to the next.Enjoy ur study

Some of the best advice I ever received regarding studying the end time was find out what the Day of the Lord is and when it occurs. All revolves around it. All roads lead to the Day of the Lord. It was the foundation around which all Old Testament eschatology was formed and it was the backdrop from which all New Testament eschatology was proclaimed.

1) What is the Day of the Lord?
2) When does it occur?

I don't believe the New Testament portrays an end time church stumbling along confused and in the dark but rather presents the church during that time as knowing exactly what is going on and where it all is headed and already being prepared. Their end time role will be to point others during that time, including a beleagured Israel, to the only safe place which is in Jesus.

Consider studying the Eschatology of the fathers of our faith like John Weasley George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards, and Charles Finney....
