Chronological order of the Rapture, seven year Tribulation, and the beginning of the reign of the Antichrist.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:9…God has not appointed us (the Church) to wrath…God’s Wrath begins after the Rapture - where the church escapes wrath and Judgment. When the Church goes up - the beginning of the seven year Tribulation begins under the reign of the Anti-Christ.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:3…After the Rapture of the Church in context…For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.


• That peace treaty (a covenant made by the Antichrist) will be between the Arabs and the Jew…they shall not escape Tribulation and destruction under the reign of the Anti-Christ for seven years.


• Daniel 9:26…“ The Antichrist will confirm a peace treaty with many nations for a ‘seven’- year period. He will confirm a covenant with those who believe not. After the Rapture where the Church is called up…there will be no believer’s on earth.


• "He" is the Anti-Christ…The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it {thereof} shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; 


• 1 week is the equivalent to 7 years according to Daniel’s seventieth week prophecy. Seven years - three score and two weeks – 483 years – have passed. The final week (the 70th week) equates to seven years where the Antichrist begins his reign - because the Church is taken out. Reason? God’s Holy Spirit is no longer a withholder of the Antichrist.


• 2 Thessalonians 2:6… And now ye know what withholdeth (God’s Spirit) that he (the Antichrist) might be revealed in his time


• 2 Thessalonians 2:7…The Holy Spirit…only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit allows the Church and Gods mercy to continue until the Rapture. After the Church is taken out of the way…the Anti-Christ steps in


• 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10…The Anti-Christ…And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 


• In the middle of the seven year period, The Antichrist will break the covenant…and will put an end to the Jewish Old Testament sacrifice and offering  


• Daniel 9:27… and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
