1. The coming of the Lord Jesus, at any moment, into the air. The resurrection of the sleeping saints, and the translation both of them and the saints who are "alive and remain," to meet the Lord in the air: John 14:3; 1 Cor. 15:23,51,52; Phil. 3:20, 21; 1 Thess. 4:16,17; cf. also Matt. 25:1-13; John 11:25,26.
2. A portion of the Jews, having returned to Jerusalem in unbelief, will build their temple, re-establish their ordinances, and once more have a political existence: Isa. 6:13;17:10, 11; 18:1-4; 66:1-3; Rev. 11:1, 2.
3. The Roman Empire will be revived by a confederacy of ten Western Powers. It will exercise a protectorate over the Jewish nation: Dan. 2:40-43; 7:7, 8; Rev. 13:1-4; 17:3, 7, 8, 10-13; Isa. 28:14-18; Dan. 9:27.
4. The full development of the corruption of Christendom will take place (the Holy Ghost having left the earth with the saints at the rapture, 2 Thess. 2:6, 7): 2 Tim. 3:1-9;4:3, 4; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Jude 3,4; 11The false church at first upheld by the Empire, will be afterward destroyed by it. This will clear the way for the great apostasy headed by the man of sin, the false prophet: Rev. 17: 1-6, 16; 2 Thess. 2:1-13.
5. About this time Satan will be cast out of the heavens, and his operations be henceforth limited to the earth: Rev. 12:7-12.
6. Satan will energize the beast (that is, the head of the Roman Empire), and lead him to open revolt against God. The saints, Jews and Gentiles, converted since the rapture of the church, will suffer great persecution. This state of things will be permitted to last 42 months: Dan. 7:19-25; Rev. 13:1-10.
7. The false prophet, who will have been received by the Jews as their Messiah, will be manifested as the man of sin, and will be the religious head of the Jewish and Gentile apostasy: Dan. 11:36-39; Zech. 11:15-17; John 5:43; 2 Thess. 2:3,4; 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:2, 3; Rev. 13:11-18.
The worship of Jehovah at Jerusalem will be abolished, and idolatry enforced everywhere. Satan, the head of the Roman Empire, and the Antichrist will receive divine honors: Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15-24; 2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:4, 14-18.
8. During the time of the great tribulation a testimony will be maintained for God by the faithful, many of whom will be killed, and others preserved through it: Dan. 12:1; Rev. 11:3-8; 12:13-17; 7:1-4, 9, to, 13, 14; 14:1-5; Matt. 24:9-14; Jer. 30:7.
9. The 'king of the north,' or ‘Assyrian’, head of the eastern confederation, and helped by another power (perhaps Russia) will make war on Antichrist. The ‘Assyrian’, as of old, will be God's scourge for Israel's idolatry: Isa. 10:5,6; 28:14, 15, 17, 18; Dan. 11:40; 8:23, 24; 9:27*; Rev. 9:13-21; 16:12; Zech. 14: 1, 2. See also Joel 2:1-11.
(* "And on account of the wing [or protection] of abomination [idols] there shall be a desolator.")
10. In answer to the cry of the faithful remnant, the Lord Jesus will come to the earth, bringing His saints with Him (who were before caught up to meet Him in the air), and will execute judgment upon the Beast and the False Prophet, and all western powers: Isa. 11:1-4; 63:15; 64:1; Dan. 2:34, 35, 44, 45; 7: 9-11, 26, 27; Matt. 24:27,37-39; Luke 13:35; 2 Thess. 1:6-10; 2:8; Jude 14,15 Rev. 19:11-16, 19-21.
11. The Assyrian will come up again to destroy Jerusalem, but will be judged by the Lord, who will now fight for His earthly people: Isa. 10:12-16, 24, 28-34;14:25; 31:4-9; Dan. 8:25; 11:44, 45; Mic. 5:1-9; Zech. 14:3-5.
Then Ammon, Moab, Edom, and all eastern nations, will be dealt with by the Lord, who will be now once more in connection with repentant and restored Judah: Isa. 11:14,15; 34; 53:4-6; Zech. 10; 12:6, 9, 10; 13:6; Matt. 25:32-46.
The ten tribes will be gathered in, and all Israel be united under the scepter of David: Ezek. 37:1-24; Rom. 11:26, 27; Dan. 12:2, 3; Matt. 24:31; Isa. 11:11-13.
Gog (Russia) will invade Palestine and be destroyed: Ezek. 38; 39
12: The Davidic action of Christ being ended (Psa. 45:3-5), He will reign in peace as antitype of Solomon, Psa. 45:6-9.
Satan will be bound; creation be relieved from the curse; and Christ, in whom all things in heaven and in earth are headed up, will reign over the earth a thousand years; the church and all heavenly saints being associated with Him in His heavenly glory, and Israel and the nations being blessed under Him on the earth: Rom. 8:21,22; Isa. 2:4; 11:6-9; Hab. 2:14; Zech. 14:9; Rev. 20:1-6; Psa. 72:8,17; Isa. 25:6-8; Jer. 23:5-8; Eph. 1:10, 20-22; Col. 1:20.
13. Satan will be loosed and deceive the nations, who attack the earthly saints and Jerusalem, but the rebellious are destroyed by fire, and Satan is cast into the lake of fire: Rev. 20:7-10.
14. The second resurrection, and the judgment of the wicked ensue: Rev. 20:11-15; John 5:22.
15. The Lord Jesus will give up the kingdom to His Father, and the new heavens and the new earth will be brought in, wherein God will be All in All: 1 Cor. 15:24-28; 2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21:1-5
