Verses 1 through 5 are taking place here on earth as Jesus returns from the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with the Body of Christ. During or shortly after Christ’s arrival, Jesus will assume the throne of David as both the Messiah and King of kings. The circumstances reflected within verses 1 through 5 take place near the end of the Great Consummation. The 144,000 Elect have been ministering to the nation of Israel during the entire one-year period of God’s Wrath.
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred and forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads” (Revelation 14:1 KJV).
The events surrounding verse 1 parallel events in Joel 3:11b: “Bring down your warriors, O Lord!” The warriors mentioned in Joel are the Body of Christ returning from the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. (Revelation 14:2–5 KJV) Continue reading →
Remember to open your Bibles for the chronology blogs. 🙂
The Great Consummation timeline consists of a 3½ year countdown. When a chapter indicates it is returning to the beginning of the Great Consummation timeline it represents that day when the Great Consummation started. Generally speaking this is approximately 30 days after the Beast also known as the Anti-Christ is revealed for who he really is by placing the Abomination of Desolation or his image in the Temple in Jerusalem.
A lot must happen between now and then but prophetic things can happen quickly so hold on and watch those skid-marks. 🙂

Revelation Chapter 11
11:1–2
With the measuring of the temple in Jerusalem, the time line for John’s vision returns to the beginning of the Great Consummation. The gentiles are to trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months or, conspicuously, three and a half years. Continue reading →

Now remember, though you can do it… the chronology before you is not specifically intended for gentle reading; rather, the “Chronology of Revelation” is set forth as a study tool to explain the relationships between individual and specific chapters and verses as they relate to the time line of the Latter Days detailing how each chapter or section in Revelation corresponds to the three and a half years of the Great Consummation. Bear in mind, the Great Tribulation doctrines have been proven utterly in error starting with the seven years of Tribulation which is a woeful misinterpretation.
Have fun!
Excerpt begins:
Revelation Chapter 10
Chapter 10
The revelation John the apostle receives in chapter 10 reflects a distant future and takes place while John is a prisoner on the isle of Patmos. John is in a heavenly realm as he sees a revelation far beyond his own natural time or location. John experiences a vision or event similar to, if not exactly like, the one Daniel experienced in Daniel 12. The angel clothed in linen from Daniel’s vision appears to be the same angel clothed with a cloud in John’s vision. Continue reading →

Most often when Believers think of being in the center of “God’s will” we think of a picturesque and ideal scenario playing out with God using us to preach the gospel, minister in Christian music, feed the hungry, comfort the sick or any number of other ministry related endeavors.
But the question is…
Is that all there is to being in “God’s will”?
For individuals to reside in the middle of “God’s will” does not always mean we are moving in ministry, or a loving family life or even a singular walk with God.
When thinking about “God’s will,” consider how the nation of Israel actually existed in the middle of “God’s will” during their 400 year sojourn with the Egyptians beginning with the time of Joseph and extending through the days of the Israeli Exodus.
(On that note: check out this Docu/movie http://patternsofevidence.com/ which sets straight some of the erroneous data which has been circulating/perpetrated in promoting the idea Israel’s exodus from Egypt was merely or mostly a grand metaphor.) Not a real exodus; poppycock!
At first the Israelites may have been welcomed, befriended or even nurtured, but somewhere in that 400 plus year sojourn the Israelites became the subpopulation enslaved by the Egyptians in accordance with “God’s will”.
Check out this passage from Genesis 15: 13-16
Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
God certainly is impressive, isn’t He?
Those Israelites who lived during that period of slavery we right in the middle of God’s will. It was all in God’s plan to create a scenario where the Jews would need a Deliverer. You know, Moses.
How many Israelites lived extremely difficult lives while they were perfectly in the center of God’s plans for the Israelites? True answer… many, many and many!
Now, let’s look to King David. Here is a person who spent many challenging years even while living most of his life following God. Scripture says he was a man after God’s own heart.
And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will. (Acts 13:21-22 NKJV)
David spent a great deal of time being pursued by King Saul. I’m not sure of the exact timeline but it was substantial. Do you think the future King David felt he was being blessed for walking in “God’s will”? Off and on I’d imagine, he was not sure but walked in faith.
And let us not forget the Apostle Paul. Wow, that man’s life was riddled with challenges as he brought the salvation message to the Gentiles. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:23-29:
I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? (NKJV)
Lastly I’ll bring up the Jews of the Holocaust of WWII. What needs to be said there is this…
WARNING — WARNING — WARNING
The following video contains “Graphic Material!”
Watch at your own risk!
WARNING — WARNING — WARNING
The Holocaust of WWII was the prophetic fulfillment of Jacob’s Trouble written about in Jeremiah 30:1-24. There is no doubt! Every element was fulfilled in gruesome detail and is still being fulfilled at this very moment. For a more detailed explanation of Jacob’s Trouble and its fulfillment check out, “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse,” chapters 12 and 14. Both sections provide enough information and evidence to confirm that the Holocaust was Jacob’s Trouble. By the way, the prophecy will continue its fulfillment into the Millennial Reign.
Okay, here is why I bring up these not so friendly topics.
We are living in the Latter Days. This is not in question. Israel has been/is repeatedly prophesied to reemerge as a sovereign state on the lands of their forefathers and with its religious identity intact following Jacob’s Trouble. Bingo! This is what has happened.
“We know” from prophecies fulfilled that we are in the Latter Days and during the Great Consummation nearly two-thirds of all Christians will be killed or martyred.
“We know” the Parable of the Fig Tree found in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 takes place during the Latter Days when Israel is reborn as a nation and begins to grow into the nation it has and is becoming today.
“We know” the generation of the Latter Days will usher in the fulfillment of the last half of the Seventieth Week of the Seventy Weeks of Daniel prophecy found in Daniel 9:24-27.
“We know” the Great Tribulation or more appropriately the Great Consummation will span 3½ years and bring to fulfillment the Second half of Christ’s Covenant and the separation and Judgment portions of the covenant. Read the book, “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse” for more details.
“We know” from the Parable of the Fig Tree that the Latter Days generation as a whole cannot die off before all End Times prophecies have been completed and Christ returns for the Body of Christ.
“We know” the Mark of the Beast already exists and is being deployed throughout this world. How long before it becomes mandatory only God knows.
I could go on and on with the things “We know” are taking place and fulfilling prophecies and bringing the Time of the Gentiles or Church Age to its close.
So we are in the Latter Days and about to face global persecution of Christians everywhere.
We are about to be forced to “Receive or Reject” the Mark of the Beast one way or another.
Soon enough the Beast/Anti-Christ will launch a global war on Christianity and the Jews.
When “The Mark” is in full swing Christians “will not” be able to purchase anything for survival or otherwise, period!
The system will change in such a way as to exclude anyone without “The Mark.”
And I tell you this… These things will happen while we are living in the middle, the center of God’s awesome and deliberate WILL.
Why? Because we are living during the completion or fulfillment of Christ’s Covenant found in Daniel 9:24-27.
This is why the scripture tells us repeatedly, more than 10 times:
THEY THAT OVERCOME TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED!
So hang in there, trust God’s plan. It will get tough but God has a reason for everything we must enjoy and endure.
Refuse any technology which even resembles the idea of the Mark of the Beast.
Remain faithful in the Lord and prepare to take flight to some wilderness, forested weigh-station, bugout point where you can live out as many days here on earth serving our God and fellow Believers as possible.
Remain faithful while you prepare for your wilderness journey.
Hey, if Moses and his people could do it without all the tech and knowledge we have today it should be a breeze for us modern Christians.
Hang in there and trust the Lord knows what He is doing and why!
Just a reminder, it’s good to have an open Bible with you as you read this blog.
Have a beautiful day! Remember, we ARE on God’s clock!
Excerpt from “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse” chapter 19, pages 348-351.
Revelation Chapter 8
8:1–6
Chapter 8 begins on the Day of the Lord, where thirty minutes of silence are observed. The sixth seal was opened in chapter 6, rapturing the saints of God, followed quickly by the sealing of the 144,000 Elect in chapter 7 and then the ceremonial opening of the seventh seal, which initiates the seven trumpets of judgment. A procession of ceremony and pomp precedes the opening of the seven trumpets of judgment. The first six verses convey reverence for the event. Continue reading →

Excerpts from “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse” chapter 19, pages 345-348.
Revelation Chapter Six
6:1–11
Opening the First Five Seals
The little book fastened with seven seals found in Revelation 5 is opened and is likely the same little book Daniel was required to close up and seal until the time of the end.[1] John is also instructed to close up and seal the book in Revelation 10, concealing what the seven thunders uttered regarding elements relating to the Great Consummation and the Time of the Gentiles. Revelation 6:1–11 opens and unveils the first five seals from the little book.
Based on a correlation between Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and Revelation 6, it is reasonable to conclude the opening of the first five seals coincides with elements within the time frame known as the Beginning of Sorrows. The Beginning of Sorrows is a precursor to the Great Consummation. The opening of the seals in chapter 6 parallels many of the events covered in the respective chapters listed here of the first three gospels. The fulfillment of these correlated events will take place before the Rapture and before the beginning of the Day of the Lord, which follows the Rapture. See the Seven Seals Correlation Table near the end of chapter 13 (This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse). Continue reading →

The following sections are intended to be read in conjunction with an open Bible when possible. Unlike a chronological Bible, which attempts to place the date in which a biblical book or passage was written, the focus behind the “Chronology of Revelations” here and in the book, “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse” is to prophetically identify when and where a prophetic fulfillment slated to take place in the Latter Days’ time line will actually take place in relation to Revelation and its various chapters.

Chronology of Revelations
Chapter 19 is not specifically intended for reading; rather, the “Chronology of Revelations” is set forth as a study tool to aid in understanding the relationships between specific chapters and verses within the time line of the Latter Days with specific attention paid to the three and a half years of the Great Consummation. This chapter is intended to be read in conjunction with an open Bible. Unlike a chronological Bible, which attempts to place the date in which a biblical book or passage was written, the focus behind the “Chronology of Revelations” is to prophetically identify when and where in the Latter Days’ time line a prophetic event will take place.
The final days for the Time of the Gentiles are prophetically encapsulated within the pages of Revelation. Though the book does not chronologically outline the Great Consummation by way of a straight line from chapter 1 through 22, Revelation does clarify the entire three and a half years of the Great Consummation as well as the seven-year covenant of Jesus Christ. Several chapters in Revelation are devoted exclusively to unique aspects of the Great Consummation, with several such chapters explaining the influences between its constituent parts and thus bringing the information and clarity to bear on the 1,260-day time line for the end of the Latter Days. The Beast’s war against the saints presents a good example, as it too spans the same 1,260 days as the ministries of the Two Witnesses. The Mark of the Beast will also be instituted near the beginning of the Great Consummation, extending the same 1,260 days from its inception. Each of these elements is fundamental to the Great Consummation and key to the conclusion for the Time of the Gentiles. Continue reading →
